AI is hungry - how is it fed?
Big data
What defines an intelligent system?1. Recognition of patterns:
Objects in camera recordings/images, facial recognition, language.
2. Prognosis: Anticipation and prediction that often turn in recommendations.
Intelligence (simplified)
General Intelligence - learning that enables the learner to be able to perform better in situations not previously encountered
Reasoning - to draw conclusions based on the situation at hand.
Problem Solving - find X, if given a certain starting point or challenge.
Perception - analysing a scanned environment, features and relationships between objects.
Language Understanding - by following syntax and similar rules used by humans

Let’s wait and see…
Vanity Fair March 26, 2017
But when?
Steve HawkingIf a superior alien civilisation would send us a message:
“We will arrive in a few decades”
Would our reaction be:
“OK - let us know, we will leave the lights on”
This is how we treat AI
“TO IGNORE OR UNDERESTIMATE THE RISKS OF AI - WOULD BE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND”
Scenario: A Centralised Cybernetic World Society 1. Gather as much data about everyone
2. Secure that data is captured randomly everywhere
3. Control people: • through manipulation of their decisions • through punishment mechanism • through rewarding mechanism
“I don’t want to live in a world, where someone else makes the world a better place than we do”
