Through life-changing accidents, and data-minded through NASCAR, human beings are finding ways to rebuild one another so that we are better, faster, and stronger than ever before and all with the help of A.I.. Once nothing more than the stuff of comic books and TV shows, we truly have the technology to become modern superheroes. The Age of A.I. is an 8 part documentary series hosted by Robert Downey Junior covering the ways Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Neural Networks will change the world.
Preparing the next generation of GPS
Originally developed by the U.S. military, the Global Positioning System (GPS) as we now know it became operational in 1995, and has since become vital to nearly every facet of modern life, from our smartphones to the internet and the electrical grid. David Pogue was invited into the Air Force’s GPS Master Control Station at Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo, and visits Lockheed Martin, where a new generation of GPS III satellites is being built.
The Trillion Dollar Quantum Gold Rush
In 1956, to store 5MB of data, you needed a hard drive the size of an XL refrigerator. Today, we can hold over 51,000x on the tip of our finger But we kept getting diminishing returns within the last few years. Computers are still getting faster but we’re not seeing the exponential strides we had The one technology that powers our entire modern-day lives, that is at the core of every millionaire dollar business, every billion-dollar business, brick and motor business, education, government is at a plateau. And the person that can figure out a new way to keep pushing humanity forward? Forget millionaire, forget billionaire. They’ll be one of the most pivotal people in all of human history. The Quantum Computing Advantage Instead of just bits only representing 0 and 1’s or just 2 states, thanks to quantum physics, each bit in a quantum computer or qubit can represent 0 or 1 at the same time More possible states = more possible data that can be processed at the same time This allows quantum computers to scale up exponentially faster Just like the revolution cars, computers, and internet brought forth, quantum computers have the potential to change the world Practical uses AI is the perfect candidate for the power of quantum computing Another use case is using quantum in the financial markets, stock market, etc, to predict where prices will go Cryptography is another industry that is going to be heavily disrupted Others include: Weather Forecasting Molecular Modeling Particle Physics First, it will only be used at the scientific and big business level And as the technology progresses, it will trickle down to the consumer. The Pioneers On Oct 23rd, Google achieved “quantum supremacy” Google and IBM aren’t alone – Microsoft, Amazon, HP, Alibaba, Huawei, have joined the party Apple was able to become the biggest company in the world, nearly a trillion dollars with just classical computers So how high will quantum take us?
The Most Important Invention of the 20th Century: Transistors
On December 23, 1947, three researchers at Bell Labs demonstrated a new device to colleagues. The device, a solid-state replacement for the audion tube, represented the pinnacle of the quest to provide amplification of electronic communication. The History Guy recalls the path that brought us what one engineer describes as “The world’s most important thing.”
AI vs ML vs DL vs Data Science
Artificial Intelligence is the branch of computer science that deal with writing computer programs that can solve problems creatively
Machine learning is a subset of AI that provides statistical tools to explore the data.
The three primary types of Machine learning are:
1) Supervised machine learning (past labeled data)
2) Unsupervised machine learning (solve clustering problems)
3) and semi-supervised machine learning (aka reinforcement; combination of previous)
Deep learning is multi neural network archictecture. The idea is to mimic the human brain.
Data Science uses these tools and more, such as math and statistics, to learn.
Healed through A.I. | The Age of A.I. (S1, E2)
The human body is not infallible, but through the wonders of A.I. research scientists are finding ways to address those imperfections. A.I. has the potential to heal, enhance and make up for the things our bodies lack.
How Far is Too Far? | The Age of A.I. (S1, E1)
Can A.I. make music? Can it feel excitement and fear? Is it alive? Will.i.am and Mark Sagar push the limits of what a machine can do. How far is too far, and how much further can we go? Narrated by Robert Downey Jr.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) USA vs China
Battle between China and the USA, and why I think China may be the ultimate winner.
Can Quantum Computers Hack Blockchain
Quantum leap: why the next wave of computers will change the world To break a widely used RSA 2048-bit encryption, a classical computer with one trillion operations per second would need around 300 trillion years. A quantum computer using Shor’s algorithm could achieve the same feat in just 10 seconds, with 1 million operations per second. 300 trillion years versus 10 seconds.
The 10 Best Examples Of Artificial Intelligence (AI) And Machine Learning In Practice
A rundown, based on my book AI in Practice, on the best examples of how trailblazing companies are using AI in practice.
