Exploring Reason, Technology, and Humanity

Distinguishing AI, Cognitive Computing, and Machine Learning

The article clarifies the difference between AI, machine learning, and cognitive computing. AI is a broad term, machine learning is a subset that learns from data, and cognitive computing imitates human learning styles like an adolescent. Cognitive computing helps businesses make better decisions in complex situations.

Robotic Process Automation, People, and Artificial Intelligence

The article discusses Robotic Process Automation (RPA) as a tool to automate tasks and increase efficiency. RPA is ideal for repetitive tasks but may not be suitable for complex ones. The pandemic has accelerated RPA adoption as companies look for ways to adapt to a changing workforce. While RPA can replace some jobs, it can also free up employees to focus on more creative work. Cognitive RPA combines RPA with AI for more advanced automation.

Artificial Intelligence and Military Operations

The article discusses the ethical use of AI in military operations. AI is being integrated into military systems and raises concerns about autonomous weapons. The US needs to address these concerns while maintaining its military edge. International cooperation is also important.

What’s ‘Real’ Artificial Intelligence?

The article discusses the difference between real and fake AI. Real AI hasn't been developed yet. What many call AI is actually machine learning, which is useful but limited. Businesses care more about results than whether the technology is real AI.

Google and the Quantum Time Crystal

Scientists create time crystals, a new state of matter that defies the second law of thermodynamics by exhibiting perpetual motion. While not useful for time travel, these crystals offer insights into quantum mechanics and may have future applications in quantum computing.

How Machines Learn

This article explains machine learning, a powerful technology used in business. Machine learning uses data to find patterns and make predictions. It's different from traditional statistics and data analytics. Businesses are increasingly using machine learning for tasks like fraud detection and product recommendations.
