Here at Cognizant what I'm working with
is visualizing how the neural networks
are evolving as their algorithm proceeds.
It's basically a tool for all the data
scientists to see what they're actually
building. The thing that excites me about
this team is that all these neural
scientists and other companies are
effectively, in the end, trying to model
the human brain and get to that accuracy
and efficiency. However, we don't have just enough information; the scientists don't
know enough to actually do that. The
evolutionary part of this AI, the genetic
algorithms are trying to just basically
say that we are doing what evolution did
for us; how they created the human brain.
We're gonna use similar Darwin
mechanisms and evolutionary algorithms
to basically model something similar to
the human brain. The data scientists who
are out there they contact our API and
then whenever they send in their data, the
algorithm evolves in your neural network
and once it is evolved to a certain
point in each generation, my algorithm
actually spits out a PDF or a ping file
that they can open and see what the
architecture actually looks like so they
can debug it and basically interpret
what's happening behind the scenes.
Their goal is to build something that
humans probably cannot build by hand.
Until now what you had to do was you had
to go read in a JSON file which is like
a huge text file but it's hard to
interpret and you just you can just get
lost because these modules evolve to such
huge things. Now you actually have the
pretty... it's like a visualizer that
actually draws what it's looks likes and
over each generation, you can actually
visualize each of the population
candidates and how they have changed
over time. From what I have read and what I know maybe
in the next 15 to 20 years we should be
able to get somewhere close because it's
not just the model of the human brain
that matters, it's also the computation
speed and the data that we can gather. It
changes the world drastically
and it's a very hard thing to
answer as of now whether it will change
it for good or bad. It actually depends
on who uses it, how it's used and how
actually self conscious that AI is.
