An exciting new study from the University of Sheffield and published in the journal Swarm Intelligence has demonstrated (free pre-print version) a method of allowing computers to make sense of complex patterns all on their own, an ability that could open the door to some of the most advanced and speculative applications of artificial intelligence. Using an all-new technique called Turing Learning, the team managed to get an artificial intelligence to watch movements within a swarm of simple robots and figure out the rules that govern their behavior. It was not told to look for any particular signifier of swarm behavior, but simply to try to emulate the source more and more accurately and to learn from the results of that process. It’s a simple system that the researchers think could be applied everywhere from human and animal behavior to biochemical analysis to personal security.

This new learning process is called Turing Learning because it basically puts a very simple version of this pass-fail differentiation test into practice, over and over again. It can be applied in many contexts, but for their study the team used robot swarms. In all contexts though, you have an original, a copy, and a comparison algorithm.

    This is similar to deep learning which NVIDIA is pursuing.

    You feed it raw data from the internet and it'll would turn into a psychotic sociopath.

    Microsoft Tay AI was cringeworthy.


    I'd post a link about it but Tay's social media posts are against forum guidelines.

    Once they grasp this, and the idea of computers "learning" movements, thoughts, actions, what people are saying..., it's just a matter of time.

    It's coming, whether we want it to or not:
    Scientists develop official guidance on robot ethics


    It was decades ago when science fiction great Isaac Asimov imagined a world in which robots were commonplace. This was long before even the most rudimentary artificial intelligence existed, so Asimov created a basic framework for robot behavior called the Three Laws of Robotics. These rules ensure that robots will serve humanity and not the other way around. Now the British Standards Institute (BSI) has issued its own version of the Three Laws. It’s much longer and not quite as snappy, though.
    In Asimov’s version, the Three Laws are designed to ensure humans come before robots. Just for reference: In abbreviated form, Asimov’s laws require robots to preserve human life, obey orders given by humans, and protect their own existence. There are, of course, times when those rules clash. When that happens, the first law is always held in highest regard.
     
    The BSI document was presented at the recent Social Robotics and AI conference in Oxford as an approach to embedding ethical risk assessment in robots. As you can imagine, the document is more complicated than Asimov’s laws written into the fictional positronic brain. It does work from a similar premise, though. “Robots should not be designed solely or primarily to kill or harm humans,” the document reads. It also stresses that humans are responsible for the actions of robots, and in any instance where a robot has not acted ethically, it should be possible to find out which human was responsible.

    "all-new technique called Turing Learning" --very amusing... they could have at least picked a name that could sound slightly new-ish. deciphering simple patterns depending on pre-set rule sets is not a true observation... someone should let those researchers know that.
