is this site a front for artificial intelligence development?

It may be a development site and it may be striving for something artificial, but if you read the average question and answer it is not likely that intelligence is involved.

It looks like just another one of those Multi-Level Marketing web opportunities. The come along is great, but many times it fizzles. What I am anticipating is once you identify yourself to them they will want to get you involved in web-sites (that's the automation part of it). It will be up to you to promote your web-site, and there is a monthly cost involved in keeping your web-site up and running.\nPersonally, NO.

Hi, What do you mean with your q's? Anyway here are a few links for "associative intelligence" - maybe there is something you are looking for.

Yes, theoretically its possible to make the computer think. This is called as AI (Artificial Intelligence). However the current technologies are good enough to make machines think within a narrow domain.\n\nYou tell the computer how a human would take a decision. The computer then analyses several such responses and decides the best course of action.

Right now it looks very, very good. The predictions have always been way understated. When you consider that soon, every piece of equipment will contain a computer and software ... we will need programmers until we can program a computer to program!!! That a ways of TG !!! Regards and Good Luck

Ummm...that is probably not going to find an intelligent answer in "Programming & Design".  Try re-posting this in say, "Society & Culture" and you may get an intelligent answer.

The answer to this question depends on the definition of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Let's say that an entity is intelligent if it passes the Turing Test, meaning that you can't tell that it's not human just by chatting with it over the Internet. Note that this definition is strongly linked to the human experience and thus to the human body and human culture. This implies that we might not only need an artificial brain, but also an artificial body (sensors and actuators) to obtain AI.\n\nNow, if we just focus on the processing power of the brain (which is only part of the story), then Vadim Gerasimov (see source) gives us an idea: "The number of transistors in 500 Pentiums (4, 1.5 GHz) is roughly the same as the number of neurons in cerebral cortex. The firing frequency is 1,000,000 times higher in the Pentium. Transistors are less sophisticated than neurons. For example, transistors cannot move and change connections." Note that, to implement the flexibility of the neurons, the higher 'clock speed' might very well be required and might not even suffice.\n\nThe kind of processing power suggested by Gerasimov is well within our reach. The hard part is to write the software that allows the entity to evolve so that it becomes intelligent. We do not really know how to write this software, but of course quite a few scientists are investigating this. One of my favorite AI researchers is Rodney Brooks (see source). Do check out his work!

Article on this:\nhttp://www.w3.org/Consortium/\nTimeline:\nhttp://www.w3.org/History.html\n\nYou asked, "What was the first website ever?" Well, that depends on your definition of "web site." It would be great if there was a nice clear-cut answer, but, like most inventions, the world wide web didn't just pop into existence all at once....It happened (and is still happening) in stages. A reasonable answer might be the site that Tim Berners-Lee put together at CERN for the development of the first Browser/Editor, called WorldWideWeb, in 1990. But people might say, no, that didn't have enough in it of what we would today call "web technology" to qualify. Others might say, no, there were earlier things that qualify like Vanevar Bush's " As We May Think" article in the July 1945 Atlantic Monthly.\n\nBut I'll stick with whatever test data Berners-Lee used in the development of the program called WorldWideWeb. Certainly by 1993, there were several sites at CERN that qualified by most people's definition.

Is this website of any use?

I think that this is one of the best sites that I have found. I enjoy trying to help other people, and getting the advice from others. Except for the ones that give the perverted answers for everything. Some people can't get their minds out of the gutter for anything. Sorry, I guess that is another answer for another question. So, yes this is a great site.

Its not really a training site, but more of a community of helpful professional indivuals who certainly know what they're doing.\nwww.utteraccess.com\nIm sure they can guide you on your projects or point you in the right direction for the right training.\nMatt

There really is nothing magical about AI.   It is a form of search and or conditional calculation.\n\nIt is very possible to write AI applications in structured languages.  For instance, I wrote an expert system for a class in grad school (back in the '80s) in Turbo Pascal.  Got an A on it, too.  I'm sure that you can do the same things now in Perl or C# or Java.\n\nMost neural nets, games, & genetic algorithms are probably written in C/C++ and they most likely have portions in assembly for optimization.  These are certainly NOT considered "AI Languages".\n\nThe classical uses for Lisp and Prolog are for expert systems and other decision based systems.  That doesn't mean that they can't be used for other things.  A company I worked for back in the early '90s built and sold CASE tools written in Lisp.  Nobody would think of building a CASE tool in Lisp nowadays, even though a good portion of the DB design tool is in fact a rules based Expert System -- the "perfect" place to use lisp.\n\nI guess my point here is that you shouldn't get wrapped up in the languages themselves.  Each language offers strengths and weaknesses as it is nothing more than a tool to solve the problem.  A well engineered solution is far more important than the language it is written in.

No, but the lack of a similar increase in psychological growth in mankind has caused our technological development to outstrip our maturity as a species.  The sudden increase in information and the resulting challenges to everyone's world views due to access to the web and instant information should be sufficient to give us a chance to catch up a bit.  Then the technology will be much easier to handle and use wisely.

Probably not too directly.  Computer Information Systems is pretty high level.  But when working with computers extensively, the ability to analyze problems and think logically is important.  So perhaps that's the connection.

Yes.  The human mind is just an incredibly complex computer which can manufacture it's own connections.  All we need to do is get the software and hardware sides of our current technology up to the level of our brains and beyond...  Easier said than done, I know.
