Google Tech TalksNovember, 8 2007ABSTRACTThis presentation is about a potential shortcut to artificial intelligence by trading mind-design for world-design using artificial evolution. Evolutionary algorithms are a pump for turning CPU cycles into brain designs. With exponentially increasing CPU cycles while our understanding of intelligence is almost a flat-line, the evolutionary route to AI is a centerpiece of most Kurzweilian singularity scenarios. This talk introduces the Polyworld artificial life simulator as well as results from our ongoing attempt to evolve artificial intelligence and further the Singularity.Polyworld is the brain child of Apple Computer Distinguished Scientist Larry Yaeger, who remains the primary developer of Polyworld: http://www.beanblossom.in.us/l... Virgil GriffithVirgil Griffith is a first year graduate student in Computation and Neural Systems at the California Institute of Technology. On weekdays he studies evolution, computational neuroscience, and artificial life. He did computer security work until his first year of university when his work got him sued for sedition and espionage. He then decided that security was probably not safest field to be in and he turned his life to science.

Its an interesting idea but I find his stutter and erratic speech a bit irritating after a while.Takes a looong time before he goes from AL to applying it to AI.

evolution : natural selection (of groups) : 1) groups with altruistic members vs. 2) groups with no altriustic members...obvisously groups with altruistic members has certain advantages in times of extreme external conditions such as wars or famine.Thanks for the thought provoking video, it has helped me understand myself and my position in the world.

can we stop a critter, interogate it with a question, if it answers correctly then we reward it with some food ? may be we could evolve a chatter to win the lobester prize hehe.

so now I finally know why robots are not running around and burninating people! the "scientist" cant even afford lazer pointers and proper chairs!

HAHAHA, APPLE FAIL! Even Vista coulda pulled that off!

Sure, the whole number eigen values of the hamiltonian express the basic states of quanta in 3d1t space and it builds up from there. Granted I don't have a DS, but I would still say we have a pretty good understanding of the math involved at that level.Human ai isn't special, especially if you watch Jerry Springer.
