TEDxLausanne — Jürgen Schmidhuber
Machine intelligence is improving rapidly, to the point that the scientist of the future may not even be human! In fact, in more and more fields, learning machines are already outperforming humans.
Artificial intelligence expert Jürgen Schmidhuber isn’t able to predict the future accurately, but he explains how machines are getting creative, why 40’000 years of Homo sapiens-dominated history are about to end soon, and how we can try to make the best of what lies ahead.

We’re all machines, but arificial intelligence is not artificial life. Teach a computer to evolve through a reptile brain and to feel emotional/physical pain and to evolve it’s emotions over a million years and it will be truly an artificial life. While technological growth is perpetuating we’re still learning to look backwards at what we’ve done right and we still do tap that resource.

This is dramatic stuff, presented in a very funny way. I think Schmidhuber and his team at the Swiss AI Lab IDSIA are laying the foundations for the world to come. They have the first mathematical theory of optimal universal artificial intelligence. They are winning all those competitions in machine learning and pattern recognition. They are working on creative robots that don’t just follow orders but invent their own problems, like scientists and artists. Check out his home page if you haven’t done so.

Very interesting talk, I take a look at this “dalle molle institute for artificial intelligence”. Never heard of it but from wikipedia doesn’t seem to be that bad actually.

We ARE machines too…….. ORGANIC/BIOLOGICAL machines !!
And we are creative :)
