A Look at Pragmatic AI Toni Westbrook Concord School District Synthetic Dreams
Branches of AI • Symbolic or “Classical AI” • Concerned with rules and facts • Mimics human expertise • Strength: Expert systems, parsing, data-mining • Weakness: Sensory/Motor systems, learning • Connectionist • Concerned with emulating brain • Hardware improvements makes more viable
Parsing and Matching 1. Rumford Street Building 16 Apt #2 • 16 Rumford St Apt 2 • Name matching • Nickname database • Percentage matching • Address matching • Removing unnecessary data • Token replacement • Poor individual probability, better combined
Neurophysiology • Receives from dendrites, fires along axon • Excitatory and inhibitory neurons • Neurotransmitters, modulators • NMDA receptors, synapses • The core of learning
Associative Learning • The Twizzler incident • Tone-shock pairings • Hebbian Plasticity • “Neurons that fire together, wire together”
TFNN Experiment Motor Control Proto Amygdala Left Antenna Right Antenna
Major Issues to Overcome • Much not understood • Genetic neural pre-configuration • Processing power • Deterministic vs. Non-Deterministic • Social, Ethical, Moral • Rights, Treatment • Copying, neural compilers/decompilers
Opportunities • Recognition systems • Biometric • Forecasting • Smart systems, safety systems • Biotech industry • Brain damage and aberration, nerve damage • Increased “communication”
