Artificial Intelligence

Share & Discuss AI tech, applications, standards, policy, predictions & fictions – incl related technical, expectational, ethical and societal issues.

Welcome to the Community

Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Community, a group for people interested in AI & technology 🤖

The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the Internet, and the mobile phone. It will change the way people work, learn, travel, get health care, and communicate with each other. Entire industries will reorient around it. Businesses will distinguish themselves by how well they use it.

This community explores AI technologies, AI (robotic) embodiments, AI applications, AI-human interactions, AI standards and policy, AI predictions and fictions – and their related technical, expectational, ethical and societal issues.

Share & discuss the latest research, techniques, and advancements in artificial intelligence, data science, data visualization, deep learning, machine learning, NLP, computer vision, ethics in AI, robotics, self-driving cars, paper discussions, daily AI news and more!  We welcome people from diverse backgrounds and experience levels and offers a valuable “village square” for sharing ideas and opinions across the AI community. 🦾

I’m Sam, I’m the curriculum director at Gregorio Perfecto High School in Manila, Philippines. I’ve been an educator and administrator for just over 25 years. Our school is spending a good amount on edtech, but I don’t feel like we’re getting the most out of it. I’d love to learn from everyone what is working for them. Thanks!

Professor Hinton praised one student – alluding to OpenAI’s former Chief Scientist, Ilya Sutskever – for revolting against OpenAI’s CEO.

“I was particularly fortunate to have many very clever students – much cleverer than me – who actually made things work,” said Hinton. “They’ve gone on to do great things. I’m particularly proud of the fact that one of my students fired Sam Altman.”

Of course, Hinton is referring to OpenAI’s board voting to fire Altman in November 2023. Sutskever delivered the news to Altman via video call, but later said he regretted it. Hinton seems to have celebrated the firing of OpenAI’s CEO as a win for AI safety, which he often advocates for. However, the win was short-lived, as Altman now has more control over OpenAI than before, and he could soon get equity.

Geoffrey Hinton accepted a Nobel Prize this week, recognizing the foundational work on artificial neural networks that earned him the nickname "godfather
