Along with the advancements in pure machine learning research, we have done many steps ahead toward a greater comprehension of the brain mechanisms. Although much has still to be understood, we have nowadays a slightly better overview of the brain processes, and this might help to foster the development of an AGI. It seems clear that try to fully mimic the human brain is not a … [Read more...] about What You Are Too Afraid to Ask About Artificial Intelligence (Part II): Neuroscience

Why Humanizing Algorithms Is a Good Idea
Algorithms are taking over the world. Not yet completely and not yet definitely, but they are well on their way to automate a lot of tasks and jobs. This algorithmization offers many benefits for organizations and consumers; boring tasks can be outsourced to an algorithm that is exceptionally well at a very dull task, much better than humans could ever become. More complicated … [Read more...] about Why Humanizing Algorithms Is a Good Idea
Why Humans Are the Weakest Link with Data Breaches
The recent TalkTalk data breach is going to be an expensive data breach. It seams that the British Internet Service Provider will have to spend 35 million pounds on recovery measurements. Although that is a lot of money, it is better than going bankrupt as happened to the Dutch security firm Diginotar after being hacked in 2011. Being hacked is a threat for any organization … [Read more...] about Why Humans Are the Weakest Link with Data Breaches
Could Big Data Spur The Development Of The Semantic Web?
The semantic web, or web 3.0, is often quoted as the next phase of the Internet. Led by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the objective is to convert the current web of unstructured and semi-structured data into a web of data. According to W3C, with the semantic web it will be possible to easily share and re-use data across application, community and enterprise … [Read more...] about Could Big Data Spur The Development Of The Semantic Web?
