Scientists ran an experiment to prove a super intelligent AI couldn’t be controlled
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Control is an illusion, and historically the smartest species has always wiped out less capable species, so people are worried that’s what AI could do to humanity. Love the Exponential Future? Join our XPotential Community, future proof yourself with courses from XPotential University, connect, watch a keynote, or browse my...
DeepMind’s AI learns the rules as it goes so it can conquer the real world
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF The real world doesn’t always have rules, so if we want to create AGI then we need AI’s that can learn things as they go along. Love the Exponential Future? Join our XPotential Community, future proof yourself with courses from XPotential University, connect, watch a keynote, or browse my blog....
OpenAI debuts massive GPT-3 AI upgrade with over 175 billion parameters
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF The human brain has nearly 100 trillion synapses, OpenAI’s newest AI has 175 billion “synapses” so there’s a long way to go before the two are on parity, but it’s off to a great start. Interested in the Exponential Future? Join our XPotential Community, future...
DeepMind’s newest AI studies humans to exploit weaknesses in their strategies
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Everyone has their weaknesses, now researchers have developed AI’s that can identify and exploit them, one day though these AI’s will be able to identify and exploit any human flaw, as well as flaws in other AI’s, for better and worse. Interested in the Exponential...
Our Algorithmic Society, the deadly consequences of unpredictable code
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF With AI regulation so far behind the curve, and as our society and decision making becomes increasingly reliant on automated algorithms and not human decision making what happens when algo’s go bad?

DeepMind’s powerful AlphaZero AI makes the leap to quantum computing
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Today’s Artificial Intelligence agents will one day evolve to run on super powerful quantum computers, and that evolution has begun. Interested in the Exponential Future? Connect, download a free E-Book, watch a keynote, or browse my blog. A new study suggests Google DeepMind’s amazing game playing algorithm AlphaZero, that...
Uber’s breakthrough problem solving AI learns by creating then solving its own problems
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Solving problems is hard and requires a different set of skills – human skills. Now Uber’s AI is getting those same skills, but in an exponential way. Interested in the Exponential Future? Connect, download a free E-Book, watch a keynote, or browse my blog. Imagine an Artificial Intelligence (AI)...
Google gave an AI intuition, then it drove a race car without being taught
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Humans and animals learn many things intuitively, like walking, and now researchers have found a way to embody this same trait within AI. Interested in the Exponential Future? Connect, download a free E-Book, watch a keynote, or browse my blog. Animals are lucky, after all they’re born with innate...
China unveils new neuromorphic chip as it aims for AI dominance
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF The future of AI rests on two development tracks, the development of new software and new hardware, and both are powering ahead. Interested in the Exponential Future? Connect, download a free E-Book, watch a keynote, or browse my blog. Back in the 90’s, if you remember those, seeing someone...
An AI learned to surf and use tools after playing 500 million games of hide and seek
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF AI researchers applied human evolutionary philosophies to train their AI, and witnessed a breakthrough that saw the AI’s create and use their own tools. Interested in the Exponential Future? Connect, download a free E-Book, watch a keynote, or browse my blog. In the early days of life on Earth,...
Microsoft drops $1 Billion on OpenAI to fund Artificial General Intelligence development
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF AGI is the point at which machines intelligence, and intellectual capabilities, match and exceed that of humans, bringing about the most significant change in human history. Interested in the future and want to experience even more?! eXplore More. Last year Google DeepMind released the world’s...
Another AI “spontaneously evolves” and this time gains a number sense
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF As we embed AI into every corner of our digital society we need to start asking hard questions about what happens when they “go beyond their programming” and “evolve” spontaneously. Interested in the future and want to experience even more?! eXplore More. Artificial Intelligence (AI)...
Artificial General Intelligence is here, DeepMind unveils its Impala AGI
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF The development of an AGI that can master tens, hundreds, and eventually thousands or millions of subjects is the “holy grail” of AI, and it will change every corner of society. One of the most significant Artificial Intelligence (AI) milestones in history was quietly...
Google has created a test to measure AI’s ability to reason
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF As advanced as today’s AI’s are they still can’t reason, and that’s what’s going to hold them, and us, back from realising the milestone that is Artificial General Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become pretty good at completing specific tasks over the past couple...
General AI, the “holy grail” of AI, demonstrated for the first time
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF AI’s that can learn quickly, and from very small data sets, will fundamentally change how we train AI’s, their capabilities, and how fast they are deployed into the market. Recently we saw a new “Master algorithm” that could be used to create the first...
A new form of “Master algorithm” could pave the way for super intelligent machines
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF One day we will create super intelligent machines that far surpass our own level of intellect, and experts believe this new form of calculus might help get us there sooner rather than later. You can be excused for not noticing that a scientist named...
Elon Musk warns that AI could “become an immortal dictator”
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Musk has a point that an all controlling AI could become the embodiment of an immortal dictator, but hopefully it’s a vision that won’t come to pass. By definition Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI), is a form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that isn’t just smarter...
