The Massachusetts institute of technology have been experimenting with their computers' AI. Specifically the way they deal with the meaning of words. You might think that the best way to analyse this kind of thing would be with a human to PC conversa...
Right now, there is a neural network of 1,000 computers at Google's X lab that has taught itself to recognize humans and cats on the internet. But the network has also learned to recognize some weirder things, too.
It sounds like an Astroturf campaign for the upcoming computers-gone-bad movie 'Terminator: Salvation,' but in fact New Scientist magazine is being completely serious when it asks if the Internet itself could soon become 'self-aware.' Read this artic...
