ABSTRACT |
|
The human brain is vastly
more complex that our best supercomputers; yet it can be argued that
both systems evolve towards common underlying solutions to fundamental
compute problems. Biologically-inspired electronic technologies
already are enabling new products, and inversely, neuro-electronics is
providing elegant tools which equip the life sciences. Perhaps,
some day, machines may indeed become organically intelligent, or humans
electronically supplemented. In the meantime, this new “electronic
species” continues to evolve and become more and more adaptive,
capturing increased human capability and gives us a lot to think about.
This talk will include a number of movie clips demonstrating some of the
capabilities of artificially intelligent agents. It will be a
wild, interdisciplinary ride for future engineers. |
