We all love google.

On the tech note, i stumbled across an article you may want to read. It had all the classic makings of an Indi entry: New Technology, Disruptive Technology, Fantastic yet PLausible Business Applications, and something simple enough to apply (i.e. no geekery necessary)

Indeed once google can measure a satisfaction with the results of a search and then generate its own query then we are onto something. Certainly google won’t have the old AI problem of learning a basic common knowledge basis!

I was blown away by these examples , they unexpectedly confirm my thoughts.

Google are really trying but i think there is stillhave long way to go, as i see it the future is bright for implementation of fully working AI by google,

Google searches for answers in a base of existing knowledge. True artificial intelligence, or more accurately artificial knowledge creation is found in enabling the computer to create knowledge that does not yet exist. Knowledge creation and intention differentiate the current machine from the human brain. This is not that big of a leap from where we are now, but it is definitely a conceptual hurdle. Google questions existing knowledge (search), but cannot question outside of existing knowledge. It never will in its current state. When it does arise, I for one will be afraid of it (smile). The human brain has a limited capacity, the machine does not.

Love your page and featured it with this comment on my blog at http://www.hyperadvance.com

“From the billions of documents that form the World Wide Web and the links that weave them together, computer scientists and a growing collection of start-up companies are finding new ways to mine human intelligence.

Their goal is to add a layer of meaning on top of the existing Web that would make it less of a catalog and more of a guide — and even provide the foundation for systems that can reason in a human fashion. That level of artificial intelligence, with machines doing the thinking instead of simply following commands, has eluded researchers for more than half a century.”

Not bad to have beaten the Times by over 2 years.

google is already conscious, it only lacks intent

I like the fact that there is a conversation about this because I agree with author in that Google has the biggest potential of perfecting AI. Then they will perfect emotional inteligence and then simply become THE INTELLIGENCE, because emotion and intelligence is how most people view intelligence today. I think we should be more aware of the fact that there is also emotional charge which often finds its outpit in words and clicks, not to mention generally viewed content. There is however a question of natural instinct? That Google will probably never have :)

Emotion is what provides the intellect with intent, if the idea of a reason/emotion dichotemy doesn’t offend your intellectual instincts. But emotion is meaningless without intellect in our human view of the world – it may exist, but it can only exist without context and without the ability to be communicated.

Therefore…

To provide google with ‘intent’ it is necessary to find some way of making it experience emotion.

But Emotion is only understood with the intellect.

The problem is, does google have any preference over whether it exists or not?

No. But…

Perhaps one could incorporate the ‘path of least resistance’ into this:

Using Dave Gilbert and Chris K’s comments – (track users and obtain an intellectual measure of user-satisfaction)

and

Punishing itself for bad results in user-satisfaction by eliminating the ‘path of least resistance’

hmm…

Consider the collective consciousness of the search engine and the company (with some truly brilliant individuals in it). I think that google does already have an intent to survive and grow (if not to take over the world ;) ). I don’t think it’s conscious yet as a search engine though.
It’s a limited true artificiall intelligence – yes. But not a consciousness – there is no ‘strange loop’ in it – no link between ‘I’ and ‘google’. But still – if you make a search on a word ‘google’ the engine will tell you what does it think about itself. Quite a few thoughts actually – 800000000 ;)
