Google eSouls artificial intelligence brainstorming
May 9th, 2009 | by Steve | 335 views | 0 Comments | Log in |Yesterday during a leadeship simulcast event, watching an interview with Irene Au on Google brainstorming sessions, I was thinking at the opportunity to automate a bit the brainstorming process. In fact this might really lead to some form of internet artificial intelligence thinking.
So, for example, let’s assume that bloggers or twitters or whomever is adding thoughts to the net will have the messages automatically stored in a kind of personal agent chatterbot – their eSoul – whom at a certain point will get to capture to a good extent their personality and creativity. Then, we, or Google or some large internet company with enough computing power, maybe Amazon with EC2, should run some “thinking ” processes similar to those in the human brain, that is automatic conversations between these eSouls. You know, when we are alone, we brainstorm by talking and questioning ourselves. The good thing is that these eSouls should be able to run day and night in a kind of indexing thought discussions processes somehow similar to our subconscient thinking. Sure the company and those particular esouls should be able to bring the dialogues to surface if they want, to store them and to use them later as reference in other dialogues. Infact this could become some sort of huge internet brain using and recombining existing human thoughts and with enough scoring and filtering being able to really conduct intelligent dialogues with any real human. Such a system will be similar to a mamouth Amazon’s Mechanical Turks engine where thousands or millions of bloggers will provide the creative answers needed for the internet AI thinking engine.
Sure this is not easy to switch on overnight and I think adding more tags and eventually the key questions answered by your messages will help a lot. Can we do that automatically?
The missing link as I blogged previously will be the focusing process, which I see it related to following objectives and planning and scheduling next questions of the dialogue in order to facilitate the answer we really need. It should be some form of feedback question like “Are we there yet? Did we reached the objective and answered the problem?”. That should include a form of scoring the answers. Maybe this scoring can be automated too…
This could be a shortcut (?) to the awed or feared singularity Ray Kurzweil is talking about…
What do you think? Will you sell your eSoul on the net to sweat day and night on internet subconscient thinking?
