"When people think of AI, they think it's probably happened in the last 10 years or 20 years, but it's a journey of 70 plus years." This quote from Vinay Sankarapu challenges the common perception of AI as a recent phenomenon.Vinay Sankarapu is the Founder & CEO of Arya.ai- An Aurionpro Company, one of India's pioneering AI companies established in 2013. An IIT Bombay alumnus, Vinay led Arya.ai to become a profitable (EBITDA positive for 3+ years) enterprise AI player focusing on the BFSI sector, achieving significant scale (~₹50-100 Cr revenue range) before its acquisition by Aurionpro Solutions. He was named in Forbes 30 Under 30 (Asia) and is now also leading AryaXAI, focusing on making AI interpretable and safe for mission-critical applications. Key Insights from the Conversation:

In dieser Episode befasse ich mich mit dem Buch "Maschinen wie ich" von Ian McEwan, einem Roman, der tiefgreifende Fragen zur menschlichen Existenz aufwirft. Die Geschichte folgt Charlie, einem charmanten Lebenskünstler Anfang 30, und Miranda, einer intelligenten Studentin mit einem düsteren Geheimnis. Ihre Beziehung wird durch die Einführung von Adam, einem lebensechten Androiden, auf eine spannende Probe gestellt. Ich erkunde die grundlegenden Fragen des Romans: Können Maschinen denken, fühlen und lieben? Adams komplexe Emotionen und moralischen Prinzipien führen Charlie und Miranda in unerwartete und teils verhängnisvolle Situationen. In meiner persönlichen Rezension teile ich, wie ich zu diesem Buch gekommen bin. Als ich am Samstag über den Markt schlenderte und in der Büchergilde Gutenberg stöberte, fiel mir das Buch in die Hände. "Maschinen wie ich" spielt in einer alternativen Vergangenheit, im Jahr 1982, wo technologische Entwicklungen weit fortgeschrittener sind als in der Realität. Der Roman thematisiert, was wäre, wenn wir bereits im Jahr 1982 über selbstdenkende Maschinen und Konzepte wie ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen diskutiert hätten. Diese alternativen Aspekte der Handlung verleihen der Geschichte ihren einzigartigen Charme und machen sie zu einem fesselnden Leseerlebnis. Die Beziehung zwischen Charlie und Miranda steht im Mittelpunkt der Erzählung. Miranda trägt schwer an ihrer Vergangenheit, geprägt von einem traumatischen Erlebnis. Gleichzeitig wird der brillante Alan Turing eingeführt, dessen historische Figur mit der Entwicklung der Computertechnologie verbunden ist. Im Roman lebt Turing weiter und hat entscheidenden Einfluss auf die wissenschaftlichen Fortschritte. Einzigartig ist auch Adams Charakter, der nicht nur ein Roboter, sondern auch ein tiefgründiger Protagonist ist, der für Miranda empfindet und Gedichte verfasst. Trotz der Vielzahl an Themen bleibt der Roman fokussiert und unterhaltsam. McEwan skizziert eindringliche Personen und Situationen, die den Leser zum Nachdenken anregen. Ich reflektiere darüber, wohin uns die Entwicklung von Robotern führen könnte, insbesondere wenn sie uns zu ähnlich werden. "Maschinen wie ich" ist weit mehr als nur ein Science-Fiction-Roman; es ist eine Einladung zur Auseinandersetzung mit entscheidenden Fragen über unsere Menschlichkeit und Technologie. Ich empfehle jedem, die Gelegenheit zu nutzen, dieses Buch zu lesen, es hat das Potenzial, den Leser nachhaltig zu berühren und zum Nachdenken zu bringen. Der Roman ist zugänglich und doch komplex, ideal für jene, die sich auf tiefere Gedanken einlassen möchten.

Wer kennt es nicht: Man sitzt am Rechner und plötzlich friert das Pogramm ein, das man gerade nutzt. Aber was tun? Das Programm beenden? Darauf warten, dass es wieder funktioniert? Oder darauf, dass es sich von selbst beendet? Würde es sich denn irgendwann von selbst beenden? In der 43. Folge von Informatik für die moderne Hausfrau beschäftigen wir uns mit einem der grundlegenden Probleme der theoretischen Informatik, nämlich mit dem sogenannten Halteproblem. Dazu tauchen wir ein wenig in die Welt des Informatikpioniers Alan Turing ein, der in den 1930er Jahren eine Art theoretisches Computermodell entwickelt hat, das wir heute als Turingmaschine kennen. Wir schauen uns an, welche Gedanken er sich zum Halteproblem gemacht hat und was diese über die Grenzen von Computern aussagen.  Eine zugängliche (weil für Schüler*innen gedachte), ausführlichere Erklärung zu Turingmaschinen, dem Halteproblem und dem Begriff der Berechenbarkeit findet ihr hier: https://inf-schule.de/algorithmen/berechenbarkeit Weitere anschauliche Informationen zur Turingmaschine findet ihr hier: https://www.matheprisma.uni-wuppertal.de/Module/Turing/pages/node3.htm Eine Biographie von Alan Turing könnt ihr hier lesen: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Alan-Turing Ein Doodle von Google zum 100.

The old man was back. The Conservatives won the 1951 election and Winston Churchill returned to Downing Street. And he really was an old man – nearly 77 when he took office. To many, he it seemed increasingly clear that he was unfit for office, but he wouldn't leave, clinging on, in the end, for three and a half years. He did get various things done. He presided over the ending of rationing. He allowed the British secret service to work with the Americans to bring down the democratically elected government in Iran, to protect British oil interests, a move whose consequences we're still suffering from today. And he also did all he could to lessen the risk of the world wiping itself out in a war using Hydrogen bombs, far more destructive still than the bombs that had actually been used against Japan. He appointed a Home Secretary, David Maxwell Fyfe, who would use the full power of the law against gay sex to make life miserable for a lot of gay men. His most notable victim was Alan Turing, an outstanding scientist of his generation, persecuted, subjected to chemical castration, and driven to an early death, it seems pretty clear, by suicide.Fyfe also believed strongly in the death penalty, even though this was a time when a couple of particularly striking miscarriages of justice came to light, miscarriages that led to the execution of innocent men. It would take decades to clear their names. But the death penalty would not be abolished at that time.Churchill's attempt to do something about the Hydrogen bomb was his last great initiative in office, his last international action, his last pretext for putting off resignation. It, however, failed. Even so, he hung on another eight months, with no obvious excuse for not going. Still, if he had no excuse, it's clear today that he may well have had an understandable reason, other than the natural instinct of men in power to cling on to it as long as possible.He may simply have had no confidence that his designated successor, Anthony Eden, was up to the job. Something we'll be checking up on next week.Illustration: Winston Churchill seeing Queen Elizabeth II to her car after dinner at Downing Street the day before he left office.

Episode 166 Chapter 26, Early Computer Music (1950–70). Works Recommended from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music  Welcome to the Archive of Electronic Music. This is Thom Holmes. This podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each of these episodes corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text. They provide listening examples of vintage electronic works featured in the text. The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings. There is a complete playlist for this episode on the website for the podcast. Let's get started with the listening guide to Chapter 26, Early Computer Music (1950–70).  from my book Electronic and Experimental music.   Playlist: EARLY COMPUTER MUSIC (1950–70)   Time Track Time Start Introduction –Thom Holmes 01:40 00:00 1.     Tones from Australia, 1951. All produced using the CSIR Mark 1 computer built at the CSIR's radio-physics division in Sydney. The computer had a speaker—or hooter—to signal when operations were completed. A clever programmer thought of manipulating the signal tones into a melody. 02:18 01:42 2.     Alan Turing's computer music. 1951. Recording made of tones generated by the mainframe computer at the Computing Machine Laboratory in Manchester, England. Snippets of the tunes God Save the King, Baa, Baa Black Sheep, and Glenn Miller's swing classic In the Mood. Plus, the voices of computer lab members listening to the sound as it was recorded. Original acetate recording from 1951 restored by University of Canterbury composer Jason Long and Prof Jack Copeland. 01:55 02:36 3.     Max Mathews, “Numerology” (1960). Introduced by a narrator. From the album Music From Mathematics, Bell Telephone Laboratories. While working at Bell Labs in telecommunications research, Max Mathews was one of the earliest computer engineers to use a general-purpose computer to program music and digitally synthesize musical sound. His programming language Music I allowed composers to design their own virtual instruments, a breakthrough during those pioneering days of computer music. “Numerology” was composed to demonstrate the various parameters, or building blocks, available to the composer using this programming language: vibrato (frequency modulation), attack and decay characteristics, glissando, tremolo (amplitude modulation), and the creation of new waveshapes. 02:49 04:38 4.     John Robinson Pierce, “Beat Canon” (1960). Introduced by a narrator. From the album Music From Mathematics, Bell Telephone Laboratories. Played by IBM computer and direct to digital sound transducer. 00:52 07:28 5.     James Tenney, “Noise Study” (1961). So named because “each of the ‘instruments' used in this piece includes a noise-generator.” 04:24 08:20 6.     “Bicycle Built For Two (Accompanied)” (1963) From the demonstration record Computer Speech - Hee Saw Dhuh Kaet (He Saw The Cat), produced by Bell Laboratories. This recording contains samples of synthesized speech–speech artificially constructed from the basic building blocks of the English language. 01:17 12:42 7.     Lejaren Hiller, “Computer Cantata, Prologue to Strophe III” (1963). From the University Of Illinois. This work employed direct computer synthesis using an IBM 7094 mainframe computer and the Musicomp programming language. 05:41 14:00 8.     J. K. Randall, “Lyric Variations For Violin And Computer” (1965-1968). J. K. Randall's piece had a complex section that pushed the limits of computer processing power at the time. Although the section consisted of only 12 notes, each note was 20 seconds long. Each note overlapped with the next for 10 seconds, making the total length of the section only about 2 minutes. But this required 9 hours to process on one of the fastest computers of the day. 03:34 19:40 9.     John Robinson Pierce, “Eight-Tone Canon” (1966). “Using the computer, one can produce tones with overtones at any frequencies.” Produced at Bell Telephone Laboratories. 03:53 23:14 10.   Pietro Grossi, “Mixed Paganini” (1967). “Transcription for the central processor unit of a GE-115 computer of short excerpts of Paganini music scores. Realized at Studio di Fonologia musicale di Firenze (Italy). 01:46 27:08 11.   Pietro Grossi, “Permutation of Five Sounds” (1967). Recording made on the Italian General Electric label. Realized at Studio di Fonologia musicale di Firenze (Italy). Distributed in 1967 as a New year gift by Olivetti company. 01:33 28:54 12.   Wayne Slawson, “Wishful Thinking About Winter” (1970). Produced at Bell Telephone Laboratories. 03:53 30:26 13.   John Cage and Lejaren Hiller, “HPSCHD” excerpt (1967-1969). The piece was written for Harpsichords and Computer-Generated Sound Tapes. Hiller and Cage staged a lively public performance in 1968 at the University of Illinois in Urbana. The first 10,000 individual recordings came with an insert in the form of a computer printout insert designed to allow the listener to program their own performance. And I quote from the jacket: "The computer-output sheet included in this album is one of 10,000 different numbered solutions of the program KNOBS. It enables the listener who follows its instructions to become a performer of this recording of HPSCHD. Preparation of this material was made possible through the Computing Center of the State University of New York at Buffalo." I happen to have three copies of this album, each with the printout. 07:20 34:16 14.   Jean-Claude Risset, “Computer Suite From "Little Boy" (1968).  Realized at Bell Laboratories. 04:28 41:46 15.   Peter Zinovieff, “January Tensions” (1968). Zinovieff's notes, from the album: “Computer composed and performed. This piece is very much for computer both in its realization and composition. The rules are straightforward. The computer may begin by improvising slowly on whatever material is first chooses. However, once the initial choices are made then these must influence the whole of the rest of the composition. The original sounds must occasionally be remembered and illustrated but a more and more rigid structure is imposed on the randomness. The piece was electronically realized and composed in real time by an 8K PDP8/S and electronic music peripherals.” 09:48 46:12 16.   Barry Vercoe, “Synthesism” (1969). Realized in the Computer Centers of Columbia and Princeton Universities using MUSIC 360 for the IBM 360 mainframe computer. Vercoe authored this musical programming language. 04:33 56:00 17.   Charles Dodge, “The Earth's Magnetic Field” excerpt (1970). Composer Charles Dodge helped close the gap between computer music and other electronic music practices in 1969– 70 by working on computer code at Princeton University and then traveling to Bell Labs to have the code synthesized by a mainframe computer. The work, “Earth's Magnetic Field” (1970) was an outcome of this process. Dodge realized this piece by fusing computer composition with synthesis, one of the earliest examples of a practice that would become the norm many years later but that was quite difficult at the time. He used a “general- purpose sound synthesis program” written by Godfrey Winham at Princeton University. Every sound in the piece was computed into digital form using the IBM/ 360 model 91 at the Columbia University Computer Center and then converted into analog form at the Bell Telephone Laboratories. 07:45 01:00:32 18.   Irv Teibel, "Tintinnabulation (Contemplative Sound)" from Environments (New Concepts In Stereo Sound) (Disc 2) (1970 Syntonic Research).  One side of the record is a rare work of purely electronic computer music in a series that otherwise consisted of natural ambient sounds. It used computer-generated bell sounds, falling back on Teibel's experience processing sounds on an IBM 360 mainframe computer at Bell Labs. The record was promoted for meditation. A sticker on the cover read, "A Sensitizer for the Mind." From the liner notes: “As an illustration of the possibilities currently under examination, Syntonic Research decided to experiment with bell sounds as an environmental sound source. . . . Tintinnabulation can be played at any speed, from 78 to 16 rpm, in full stereo. At different speeds, the sounds change in tone and apparent size, although the harmonics remain unchanged. The effect, unlike real bells, is fully controllable by the use of your volume, bass, and treble controls.” 30:10 01:08:16   Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes.

“What I meant when I said there is no AI is that I don't think we serve ourselves well when we put our own technology up as if it were a new God that we created. I think we confuse ourselves too easily. This goes back to Alan Turing, the main founder of computer science, who had this idea of the Turing test. In the test, you can't tell whether the computer has gotten more human-like or the human has gotten more computer-like. People are very prone to becoming more computer-like. When we're on social media, we let ourselves be guided by the algorithms, so we start to become dumb in the way the algorithms want us to. You see that all the time. It's really degraded our psychologies and our society.”Jaron Lanier is a pioneering technologist, writer, and musician, best known for coining the term “Virtual Reality” and founding VPL Research, the first company to sell VR products. He led early breakthroughs in virtual worlds, avatars, and VR applications in fields like surgery and media. Lanier writes on the philosophy and economics of technology in his bestselling book Who Owns the Future? and You Are Not a Gadget. His book Dawn of the New Everything: Encounters with Reality and Virtual Reality is an inventive blend of autobiography, science writing, and philosophy. Lanier has been named one of TIME's 100 most influential people and serves as Prime Unifying Scientist at Microsoft's Office of the CTO—aka “Octopus.” As a musician, he's performed with Sara Bareilles, Philip Glass, T Bone Burnett, Laurie Anderson, Jon Batiste, and others.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcastEpisode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

When we're on social media, we let ourselves be guided by the algorithms, so we start to become dumb in the way the algorithms want us to. You see that all the time. It's really degraded our psychologies and our society.”Jaron Lanier is a pioneering technologist, writer, and musician, best known for coining the term “Virtual Reality” and founding VPL Research, the first company to sell VR products. He led early breakthroughs in virtual worlds, avatars, and VR applications in fields like surgery and media. Lanier writes on the philosophy and economics of technology in his bestselling book Who Owns the Future? and You Are Not a Gadget. His book Dawn of the New Everything: Encounters with Reality and Virtual Reality is an inventive blend of autobiography, science writing, and philosophy. Lanier has been named one of TIME's 100 most influential people and serves as Prime Unifying Scientist at Microsoft's Office of the CTO—aka “Octopus.” As a musician, he's performed with Sara Bareilles, Philip Glass, T Bone Burnett, Laurie Anderson, Jon Batiste, and others.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcastPhoto credit: Michael Springer

Brian Cox and Robin Ince unpick the hidden codes behind the shapes we see in nature with Mathematicians Sarah Hart & Thomas Woolley and comedian Dave Gorman. The panel marvel at how evolution so often beats mathematicians to finding the most elegant solutions, after all, it's had millennia to experiment. How do trees achieve the optimal distribution of leaves and why tortoise shells are so geometrically exciting?Plus we learn why the cheetah got its spots, thanks to the work of Thomas Wolley's mathematical hero, Alan Turing, how numbers can be more or less irrational, and why Dave Gorman has a vendetta against oblongs. Producer: Melanie Brown Exec Producer: Alexandra Feachem Assistant Producer: Olivia Jani

On this week's episode of Three Ravens, we are chatting all about the history and folklore of Buckinghamshire, a county once believed - completely wrongly - to have very few folktales... We start off chatting about St Patrick's Day, discussing his weird life amongst pirates and of generally annoying people, all before he became Patron Saint of Ireland, after which we bounce on over to Buckinghamshire!After discussing how this week's Local Legends guest Dr Terrie Howie changed the game in terms of how people view the legends of the area, we start to delve into some strange facets of the county's history, including how Alan Turing and the codebreakers of Bletchley Park were haunted by a caffeine-hungry spectre, the strange and sinister doings of The Hellfire Club, and Buckinghamshire's very own dragon story.Then Martin not just double or triple carbs it, but presents the possibility of a four carbohydrate County Dish, while also getting quite alliterative...Next, we chew over some folklore, including one of the first UFO reports in British history, which occurred in Buckinghamshire, relay the details of some of the county's rather annoying, hedge-jumping fae beings, tell the tale of a spooky Green Man/ghost/Bishop hybrid, and throw a bone to the Black Beast of Aylesbury - all enhanced by some excerpts from Saturday's full Local Legends interview with Terrie.Then it's on to the main event: Martin's story "Cassian, The Vampire of Milton Keynes," in which the good folk of Buckinghamshire work together to show the divine power of a well written letter...We really hope you enjoy the episode, and will be back on Thursday with a new Forgotten Melodies bonus episode about Sea Shanties, all before the full interview with Terrie comes out on Saturday!The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Las revolucionarias ideas del matemático Alan Turing, padre de la informática y pionero de la Inteligencia Artificial, facilitaron la derrota del nazismo y adelantaron al menos dos años el fin de la II Guerra Mundial.

Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about the history of science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-qaQuestions include: - Can you talk about the history of pi? - "Pi day of the century." - Is pi still being researched today? Or is it a solidified concept? - Was there always a connection between "pi" and "pie"? - Can pi be used for data compression? - Is the only reason pi shows up more than tau because we USE pi more often? - If we used tau, it would have been 24/tau^2 instead of 6/pi^2, right? ​- How was your experience with slide rules? Did Leibniz or Newton use tools like a slide rule? - My 8th-grade (1983-ish) teacher didn't allow calculators, but he let me use my slide rule. ​​- Would you rather be stuck with just a slide rule or just an abacus? - What is your favorite "artifact from the past" that you own... any interesting stories? - What's your favorite artifact from the future? - Many key ideas in computer science existed before we had the hardware to implement them (Turing's computer, neural networks in the 1940s). What ideas today do you think are ahead of their time in the same way? - Technology has progressed at an incredible rate during the last two centuries. That seems quite unusual relative to other periods in history. Are we bound to enter a new era of stagnation or regression? Or can we just keep going? - How would you think about cellular automata if you were born in, say, ancient Greece/Rome or Egypt? Or even the 1800s? - ​​Is there a history of people discovering the concept of the ruliad and thinking about it from a different perspective (mathematical, scientific, religious or otherwise)? - I would be interested in hearing about the bug of Alan Turing. - It seems like our definitions of "science" and "technology" have evolved over the years. Are they historically the same thing?

Neurodiverse individuals have made groundbreaking contributions by overcoming challenges to drive innovation.

More at https://www.philosophytalk.org/shows/alan-turing-and-limits-computation. Alan Turing was a 20th-Century English mathematician and cryptologist who is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science. In 1950, he published a definition of a computer that is both universal, general enough to apply to any specific computing architecture, and mathematically rigorous, so that it lets us prove claims about what computers can and can't do. What does Turing's writing teach us about the bounds of reason? Which thoughts are too complicated for a computer to express? Is the human brain just another kind of computer, or can it do things that machines can't? Josh and Ray calculate the answers with Juliet Floyd from Boston University, editor of "Philosophical Explorations of the Legacy of Alan Turing."

Le macchine possono pensare? Questa domanda inquietante, posta da Alan Turing nel 1950, ha forse trovato una risposta: oggi si può conversare con un computer senza poterlo distinguere da un essere umano. I nuovi agenti intelligenti come ChatGPT si sono rivelati capaci di svolgere compiti che vanno molto oltre le intenzioni iniziali dei loro creatori, e ancora non sappiamo perché: se sono stati addestrati per alcune abilità, altre sono emerse spontaneamente mentre «leggevano» migliaia di libri e milioni di pagine web. È questo il segreto della conoscenza, ed è adesso nelle mani delle nostre creature? Cos'altro può emergere, mentre continuiamo su questa strada? Una produzione Think about Science: thinkaboutscience.comCon: Massimo Polidoro e Giulio Niccolò Carlone; Video editing: Elena Mascolo, Fotografia: Claudio Sforza; Musiche: Marco Forni; Logo e animazioni: Zampediverse; Social - Comunicazione: Giacomo Vallarino - Grafiche: Roberta Baria; Distribuzione audio: Enrico Zabeo; Titoli: Jean SevillaLEGGI la mia graphic novel: "Figli delle stelle" (con Riccardo La Bella, per Feltrinelli Comics): https://amzn.to/47YYN3KLEGGI: "Sherlock Holmes e l'arte del ragionamento" (Feltrinelli), il mio ultimo libro: https://amzn.to/3UuEwxSLEGGI: "La meraviglia del tutto" l'ultimo libro di Piero Angela che abbiamo scritto insieme: https://amzn.to/3uBTojAIscriviti alla mia NEWSLETTER: L' "AVVISO AI NAVIGANTI": https://mailchi.mp/massimopolidoro/avvisoainaviganti Aderisci alla pagina PATREON, sostieni i miei progetti e accedi a tanti contenuti esclusivi:   / massimopolidoro  Scopri i miei Corsi online: "L'arte di Ragionare", "Psicologia dell'insolito", "L'arte di parlare in pubblico" e "l'Arte del Mentalismo": https://www.massimopolidorostudio.comLe musiche sono di Marco Forni e si possono ascoltare qui: https://hyperfollow.com/marcoforniLEGGI i miei libri: "Sherlock Holmes e l'arte del ragionamento": https://amzn.to/3UuEwxS"La meraviglia del tutto" con Piero Angela: https://amzn.to/3uBTojA"La scienza dell'incredibile.

Alan Turing foi um gênio matemático que ajudou a vencer a Segunda Guerra Mundial, mas sua inteligência o isolava socialmente. Schopenhauer dizia que pessoas muito inteligentes tendem à solidão, pois enxergam o mundo em profundidade enquanto muitos permanecem na superfície. Será que Turing enfrentou esse dilema? Neste episódio, exploramos como a genialidade pode afastar as pessoas e refletimos sobre a solidão dos cimos: o preço de enxergar além da névoa.

What if AI could reduce a three-month project to just three days? In this episode, Knownwell CMO Courtney Baker explores how AI is reshaping professional services with the help of CEO David DeWolf, CPO Mohan Rao, and NordLight CEO Pete Buer. Pete sits down with Matt Pasienski, CEO and co-founder of Pact, to discuss AI's evolution from simple tools to intelligent copilots and the rise of autonomous agents. Matt shares insights from his journey as a services CEO and how Pact is building AI-driven project management copilots. They dive into the implications of AI on management, accountability, and value chain variability, including how copilots can surface risks, identify new opportunities, and transform business operations. Later, the panel dissects Matt's takeaways, reflecting on the balance between efficiency and effectiveness in AI adoption and the cultural challenges of integrating AI at scale. They also explore how leadership can act as the "agent core" to navigate the mismatches that arise when parts of the organization move 10x faster. In the AI in the Wild segment, Pete and Courtney discuss Ai-Da, the humanoid robot artist whose painting of Alan Turing recently sold for $1.1 million at auction (NYT gift article). The work Ai-Da is capable of producing, and the team it took to create her, challenges our assumptions about creativity and AI's role in art and innovation.

Before the dawn of the computer age brought Alan Turing's work its rightful recognition, before the honors that were to come, we recognized his legacy and his tragic life in November of 1988. There are memorials and movies now, but then his World War II code-breaking triumph and his contributions to the development of of artificial intelligence was all but unknown (produced by Hugh Young and presented by Barry Empson). And in NewsWrap: Liechtenstein rings in 2025 with its first legal gay and lesbian marriages, Lithuania's Constitutional Court strikes down its “no promo homo” law, the government of China jails three writers of the online “danmei” genre of gay male romance and sex stories, travel agent arrested in raids on Moscow gay nightspots found dead in prison, veterans booted from the U.S. military under anti-queer policies win a class action lawsuit against the Defense Department to get their discharges upgraded, , and more international LGBTQ+ news reported this week by Michael LeBeau and Ava Davis (produced by Brian DeShazor).

Digitálny svet je veľmi zradný, vytvárať v ňom falošnú realitu je dnes mimoriadne ľahké. Bude nevyhnutné vytvárať nástroje, ktoré nám pomôžu zisťovať čo je to vlastne pravda, hovorí pre Aktuality špičkový odborník na umelú inteligenciu Igor Farkaš. Ako sa brániť záplave lží na internete, prečo je Elon Musk nebezpečný a dokážu počítače myslieť?Od známeho turingovho testu, v ktorom si zakladateľ kybernetiky Alan Turing položil otázku či môžu stroje myslieť - alebo presnejšie: „či je alebo nie je možné, aby stroje vykazovali inteligentné správanie“ neuplynulo ani sto rokov a zdá sa, že dnešná doba na ňu dala presvedčivo kladnú odpoveď. Umelá inteligencia za nás píše články, prekladá cudzie jazyky, šoféruje autá, medicínsky nás diagnostikuje a prakticky kam sa pozrieme, je náš život zásadne ovplyvnený nejakou formou umelej inteligencie.Moderné systémy AI, ktoré sú založené na hlbokých neurónových sieťach, sú v podstate obrovské štatistické modely, ktoré sa naučili to, čo vedia, z obrovského množstva dát no a či sú inteligentné? Tak to my môžeme posudzovať na základe ich vonkajších prejavov - to znamená, ako ten program odpovie na moju otázku a či mi to dáva zmysel alebo nie, teda tzv. behaviorálne hľadisko. Takže, ja osobne, by som tomu prisúdil nejakú formu inteligentného správania, čo vieme ohodnotiť okom, uchom a našou hlavou, tvrdí Igor Farkaš. Dokáže AI skutočne myslieť a čo to vlastne znamená? Čo je to umelé vedomie a vieme AI naučiť aj súcitu, empatií a pochopeniu takých pojmov ako je láska, česť či sebaobeta alebo vina? Ako sa počítače učia myslieť a nechýba im pritom fyzické telo a jeho pocity? No a napokon, v duchu čapkovho citátu o zrkadle, ktoré si myslí, že človek je iba jeho predstava, bude Umelá inteligencia osudovým zlomom v dejinách civilizácie a môže ľudské spoločenstvo nielen pozdvihnúť, ale i rozvrátiť a zničiť? "Otázka či stroje môžu myslieť je v prvom rade filozofická - v prvom rade bby sme sa museli zhodnúť na tom, čo znamená myslenie, ale ak si to stotožníme s nejakou formou inteligentného správania, tak dnes stroje disponujú nejakou formou inteligentného správania," tvrdí Igor Farkaš. Podľa neho dnešné veľké jazykové modely už prešli tzv. Turingovým testom, čo ale neznamená, že tieto modely/stroje vôbec rozumejú tomu, čo robia.Témy a otázka pre jednu z našich najšpičkovejších hláv v týchto témach Igora Farkaša, vedúceho Katedry aplikovanej informatiky na Fakulte matematiky, fyziky a informatiky Univerzity Komenského v Bratislave. Počúvate Ráno Nahlas, pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Braňo Dobšinský.

This episode is based upon three readings: Alan Turing's Computing Machinery and Intelligence aka The Turing Test paper. Turing starts his paper by asking “can machines think?” before deciding that's a meaningless question. Instead, he invents something he calls “the imitation game” - a text conversation where the player has to guess whether they are chatting with another person or with an AI. ChatGPT was such a bombshell because it easily and consistently passes this “Turing Test” by giving human-like responses to questions. Here's the issue: the Turing Test is based upon AI deception, not thinking. Turing set out to ask Can Machines Think? and ended up showing how easily AI can deceive us. Karel Čapek's Rossum's Universal Robots. This is the first AI Takeover story. It's a play written in 1920 about a factory manufacturing artificial persons. Čapek introduced the word Robot to the English language - it's derived from robota, a Czech word meaning forced labor. Čapek's robots are supposed to be the ultimate workers, free from distracting human needs and desires. Yet, they mysteriously start to glitch, gnashing their teeth, freezing up. When they are given guns and asked to fight humanity's wars, they become super soldiers as well as perfect workers. Anyone who has seen Blade Runner, The Terminator, or Battlestar Galactica - all inspired by Čapek's play - knows what happens next. Rossum's Universal Robots is the original AI takeover story, as well as being a dead-on satire of twentieth century ideas like Fordism and nationalism. Joanna Bryson's Robots Should be Slaves. Bryson, a computer scientist, makes a provocative intervention into AI ethics. She argues that as AI becomes more advanced, and robots more lifelike, we are going to get dangerously confused: we'll want to give robots rights that they cannot and should not have. Bryson argues that robots are owned by us and should be seen and used as property. She wants to avoid conflating the human and the mechanical, yet, by using the terminology of slavery, she introduces into the AI debate the very thing she seeks to deny - the concept of human rights.
