Superceding Humans Artificial Agents on Top?
Superceding Humans I've noticed two articles about a similar topic recently. Both mention a task currently done by humans, which would be much better suited to artificial agents. The first article is over on NewsDay, entitled Cyber Emissaries To Serve Online. It discusses how intelligent agents are much better suited to monitoring the internet than humans, since they work 24/7 and don't slack! Some CS researchers expect them to roam the internet 'usefully' in five years. Optimistic, I believe! It'll take a restructuring of the fundamental net protocol to allow such agents to circulate... Anyway, the second feature is at New Scientist: Virtual Stunt Artists Take First Tumbles. The author mentions a physically accurate AI agent that is capable of coordinating his limbs in basic stunts. The potential for this is great, since real-life stunt men often can't do the coolest stunts! (hehe ;) | Alex J. Champandard 934 posts. Friday 18 January, 13:02 Reply
