Hi, do you use Amazon?
gpt
Hi, are you interested in Google, Amazon, or Artificial Intelligence?
human
All three of those actually. They are two of the biggest innovators we have and one of the most interesting scientific fields.
gpt
Yes, I agree. I really enjoy AI although all three of these topics are probably so interrelated that we don't realize it. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is sometimes called machine intelligence (which is actually demonstrated by the machines) in contrast to human intelligence.
human
Yes it is amazing what we can hopefully apply AI to in the future. It can really help out with some difficult tasks.
gpt
I took Computer Science in college and it is defined as the study of 'intelligent agents' or any device that perceives the environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals.
human
I only took a basic Computer Science course, we never delved into Artificial Intelligence. I don't know too much about it besides some basic reading.
gpt
I learned some stuff in Master's level courses and colloquially, the term 'artificial intelligence' is applied when a machine mimics 'cognitive functions' that humans associate with other human minds such as 'learning' and 'problem solving'.
human
What do you think the biggest priority should be in the application of Artificial Intelligence?
gpt
Actually, the scope of AI is disputed as machines become increasingly capable, tasks considered as requiring 'intelligence' are often removed from the definition, a phenomenon known as the AI effect, leading to the quip in Teslar's Theorem, 'AI is whatever hasn't been done yet.'
human
I know some people are afraid of AI and think machines will become too self aware. I don't think we will ever run into that problem, science fiction has made people too paranoid.
gpt
I totally agree with that since machines are run on computer programs that humans wrote.  Modern machine capabilities generally classified as AI include successfully understanding human speech and competing at the highest level in strategic game systems such as chess and Go.
human
I know I have lost my fair share of chess games to a computer, I even saw a computer compete at very high levels at Jeopardy. It only slipped up when questions were worded somewhat ambiguously.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Yes, computers could NEVER actually think like humans can although they can autonomously operate cars, provide intelligent routing in content delivery networks and military simulations.
human
*calm eyes* Yes they can really help us out when the task is something that lends itself to automation but not when there are moral or ethical complications.
gpt
Very true. Did you know that Stanford's free AI class uses Google plus Hangouts to help them teach more effectively?
human
I did not know that, I have used Google Hangouts for interviews and meetings. We even used it once for a fantasy football draft that a lot of people couldn't attend in person.
gpt
Awesome use of it. Did you know that there is a non-profit organization for the advancement of Artificial Intelligence?
human
*raises eyebrows* That's great, it's an area that we should definitely fund as there are a lot of great applications of the technology. Just the medical field alone could immensely benefit from it.
gpt
I agree, even Facebook is developing an AI designed to understand user emotions, identify objects in photos, and predict user actions.
human
Facebook may be the one company I don't trust with AI after all their recent data scandals. It was very interesting to chat AI with you and I definitely learned a few new things.
gpt
Nice chatting with you as well.
