Re: Event-Driven IT a Priority for CIOs
mhhf1ve,
You're reminding me that I need to finish up another piece for another site, regarding the ways in which machine intelligence is beginning to develop something that looks very much like "intuition". So far, although some parts of human mentation are not yet duplicated and surpassed on machines, there has not been any convincing demonstration that anything people can do with their brains and minds can't eventually be done better by machines with their processors and software (other than "BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO BE!" which is still convincing to some humanists.)
(We'll probably keep using quote marks around "machine intuition" for another generation, though, because humans desperately cling to the idea that there is something special about us; heck, there are still many people who pretend to be unable to see the evidence for evolution, and a few who can't accept that we're on a smallish planet orbiting a very common kind of star a long way from the center of a commonplace galaxy).
(Other thought: "humanist" may go from being linguistically parallel to scientist, artist, and parachutist (i.e. one who practices, uses, or has intimate knowledge of) to being linguistically parallel to racist or sexist (i.e. one who adheres to obsolete notions of superiority))

It sounds like that to me as well. It'll be quite interesting to see how far this goes and which route they'll take.

Hmm. I'm not so sure about that assertion and logic. You can't prove "there is no god-like AI" -- so it doesn't quite follow that AI will be able to do anything humans can do AND do it better than us eventually. I mean, sure, maybe.. but..
The one problem I see is that machines and humans have different "desires" and sensory input, fundamentally.
So it would be like asking an autistic person to write a romatic comedy -- if you wanted an AI to do that. How do you infuse AI with the hopes/dreams/humor of humans?
