Interview With The Lifelike Hot Robot Named Sophia (Full) | CNBC

The day of the truly intelligent AI system has not yet arrived, no matter what anyone says.

You have no idea what artificial intelligence really does

Artificial Stupidity

It's easy to fall for all of the marketing and hype, but artificial intelligence isn't half as robust as many want you to believe.

You Have No Idea What Artificial Intelligence Really Does

The world of AI is full of hype and deception.

Those who think we will have human-level AI predict it'll arrive anywhere from five to 2,000 years from now.

When will we have artificial intelligence as smart as a human? Here’s what experts think

Artificial Intelligence

Human-level artificial intelligence (HLAI) is a holy grail of AI research. But no one knows how to make it. Here's when the experts think it'll happen.

When Will We Have Artificial Intelligence As Smart as a Human? Here’s What Experts Think

Robots in the movies can think creatively, continue learning over time, and maybe even pass for conscious. Why don't we have that yet?

Don't worry, killer robots only came up twice.

A future governed by AI is promising. But it's also scary.

It's a really important first step towards artificial general intelligence, algorithms that can do more than a single narrowly-defined task.

New artificial intelligence does something extraordinary — it remembers

A new kind of artificial intelligence is able to recognize and remember objects in a way that's a lot more like humans and a lot less like algorithms.

New Artificial Intelligence Does Something Extraordinary — It Remembers

A new AI system can recognize a cactus in a desert and a cactus in an office. That's actually a really big deal.

We shouldn't be afraid of AI that's smarter than us — we should create it so it can help us.

Advanced artificial intelligence could run the world better than humans ever could

Humanity is terrible at planning for the distant future. If we build advanced artificial intelligence, it might save us from ourselves.

Advanced Artificial Intelligence Could Run The World Better Than Humans Ever Could

Humans are pretty terrible at making choices that are good for us in the long term. AI could do better.

No startup, no private company can afford to look that far ahead.

If we ever want artificial general intelligence, governments need to invest in it

A panel of venture capitalists and other experts on financing AI startups agree: to get a truly general AI system, governments will need to step up.

If We Ever Want Artificial General Intelligence, Governments Need To Invest In It

Startups with super-narrow algorithms aren't ever going to make AGI happen.
