Neil Jacobstein, co-chair of the AI and Robotics at singularity university. Filmed during the November 2009 Executive Program at Singularity University.

Suppose that humans succeed in understanding just what it is about the human brain that makes us smart, and manage to port that over to silicon based digital computers. Suppose we succeed in creating a machine that was smarter than us. What would it do? Would we benefit from it? This talk will present arguments that show that there are many different ways that the creation of human-level AI could spell disaster for the human race. It will also cover how we might stave off that disaster — how we might create a superintelligence that is benevolent to the human race. ** About the speaker: Roko Mijic graduated from the University of Cambridge with a BA in Mathematics, and the Certificate of Advanced Study in Mathematics. He spent a year doing research into the foundations of knowledge representation at the University of Edinburgh and holds an msc in informatics. He is currently an advisor for the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence. Roko writes the blog “Transhuman goodness” at transhumangoodness.blogspot.com For more details about Roko, see www.rokomijic.com This lecture was recorded on 23rd January 2010 at the UKH+ meeting.

Peter Norvig [Director of Research, Google] Abstract: Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence, and in Internet search, have been driven by the ability to build improved models from large amounts of data. This talk looks at the process of gathering and processing the data, building the models, and using them for new applications in language processing, computer vision, and other fields. Biography: Peter Norvig is a Fellow of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence and the Association for Computing Machinery. At Google Inc he was Director of Search Quality, responsible for the core web search algorithms from 2002-2005, and has been Director of Research from 2005 on. Previously he was the head of the Computational Sciences Division at NASA Ames Research Center, making him nasa’s senior computer scientist. He received the NASA Exceptional Achievement Award in 2001. He has served as an assistant professor at the University of Southern California and a research faculty member at the University of California at Berkeley Computer Science Department, from which he received a Ph.D. in 1986 and the distinguished alumni award in 2006. He has over fifty publications in Computer Science, concentrating on Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing and Software Engineering.

This is my attempt at a Mario AI using a path-finding algorithm called A*. The bot won both Mario AI competitions this year! You can see the path it plans to go as a red line, which updates when it detects new obstacles at the right screen border. It uses only information visible on screen. At the “close call” situation: In this version of Mario, when you’re jumping while sliding on a wall, you jump backwards and upwards away from it. That’s what the AI did twice to get out of the hole. This is possible in this version of Mario, which is a Freeware Java clone. See the links below for more info. The source code is now available on my homepage!
