Artificial Intuition Run-Down, Initial Data-Point Spray

Because regular intuition isn’t good enough:

I expect Artificial Intuition (AN) to become an important building block in “AI” systems – Those that aspire to solve problems in domains that we think require “Intelligence”. But many of these domains can likely be handled using Artificial Intuition alone. I believe AN-based systems will, on their own, be able to provide impressive results in areas like Document Understanding, Speech Recognition, OCR Correction, Entity Extraction, Machine Translation, Web Page Quality Analysis, and Semantic Search; in short, in areas that require discovery of Semantics from lower level representations such as text, DNA sequences, and other streams of spatiotemporal events.

Found this term via a Google ad appearing on my site in the sidebar. I highly recommend browsing through the results for the term in Google, which range from AI applications on down through Homeland Security and violent threat assessments.

Is instant holistic evaluation impossible?

The system, with over a hundred billion neurons, processed the information from input to output in just half a second. All your knowledge was evaluated. Walter Freeman, the famous neurobiologist, defined this amazing ability. “The cognitive guys think it’s just impossible to keep throwing everything you’ve got into the computation every time. But, that is exactly what the brain does. Consciousness is about bringing your entire history to bear on your next step, your next breath, your next moment.” The mind was holistic. It evaluated all its knowledge for the next activity. How could so much information be processed so quickly? Where could such knowledge be stored?”

    * Rely on their intuition

    * Separate real from imagined danger

    * Predict Dangerous Behavior

    * Evaluate whether someone will use violence
