"We can talk about general artificial intelligence," announced the CEO of Mobileye and senior vice president of Intel, Professor Amnon Shashua, in a lecture he gave this week at a conference of the National Academy of Sciences.
At the conference, Prof. Shashua presented, among other things, Orcam's next development, known as MyMe - for recognizing faces in real time - as well as a first version of general artificial intelligence, which goes by the name "Life", developed by the new start-up company AI21 Labs, which, when fed with ideas, is turns them into text.
He said that "in Orkam's system we combined artificial vision and natural language understanding. For example, the system can identify a menu not only on a general level, but actually understand the composition of the dishes. The system decodes all the text using OCR, and extracts the information from it. It recognizes texts in space and also knows how to identify products by their barcodes. It is about adding many capabilities to Orcam's existing system. The system can recognize and understand the environment and search for categories of objects, such as doors, furniture and people. She can read company logos, or read what is written on business cards."
According to him, one of Orcam's next tasks will be a new product that will be hung around the neck or attached to a lapel - MyMe is able to recognize faces and remind the user when he met the person he recently recognized, and what they talked about. He said that "the wearable system photographs the world ten times a second and reacts accordingly. Say you can do this using the phone, it has a sufficiently powerful computing capability, but the problem is that it is in the pocket most of the time, so there is a need for an independent device that will contain a library of all the knowledge needed to make decisions."
It is not certain that such a system will be able to be used in the public space, due to the fear of privacy, but in large organizations it will be able to record meetings, Shashu explained. He described an experiment of the system in a surprising place - the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, where it was used to identify the patients, and to link them to their medical files, to prevent medical errors and shorten the time nurses currently waste typing content into the medical systems. MyMe does it for them.
And as mentioned, Prof. Shashua announced the new start-up company AI21 Labs, which he founded together with Prof. Yoav Shoham from Stanford University, Uri Goshen, Barak Lentz and Barak Peleg.
A complete literary work in which the person writes only opening and closing sentences
"Let's look three years ahead to the future in the field of natural language processing. I have shown you how artificial intelligence can achieve very good performance in narrow areas, but we have not yet reached what you see in science fiction movies - general artificial intelligence. These are machines that have a broader intelligence, and that is not defined for any specific field. For example, I want to read a book and then answer research questions related to that book. For example, 'Game of Thrones' or 'War and Peace', it is necessary to analyze the plot, the actors and the relationships between them - things that we as humans do easily, but no machine can do this. Reading comprehension can be defined as a microcosm of the challenges that await us during the journey to general artificial intelligence.
The intelligence we are looking for is expressed in the ability to read not only a sentence but long passages and understand them on a human level. AI21 Labs developed HAIM, which makes literary writing easier. The user writes down some ideas and lets the machine do it all. It's not science fiction, it's a development that will be ready in the next few years," Shashu said. "The user writes the opening paragraph and the closing sentence, and lets the machine do the rest. If you don't intervene afterwards, the text becomes a jumble of nonsense, but after you limit it with the last sentence, it seems reasonable."
In conclusion, Prof. Shashua said: "Autonomous driving is the ultimate challenge of narrow artificial intelligence. It has all the elements: vision and perception of the space and decision-making. Although it is still difficult to reach autonomous decision-making because it requires a perception of the space at the level of humans. However, the field of artificial vision can change the world, even when it is embedded in wearable devices. Natural language understanding is a good area to start looking at in general artificial intelligence. Although the development is not yet complete, all the innovations I showed are not science fiction - they will be a reality in a few years."

Exaggerated hopes for artificial intelligence, a song of praise for natural intelligence based on natural knowledge.
Neurolinguistics
As neurophysics replaced Newton's physics, so neurolinguistics replaced Chomsky's linguistics.
Newton believed that there exists in physical reality an imaginary idea called gravity, and Chomsky believed that humans naturally create languages with fixed syntax
Newton misled the physicists for 300 years, and Chomsky misled the linguists for 80 years.
Neurolinguistics is free and has no fixed syntax or certain grammar rules.
Neurolinguistics is simple and self-explanatory, and it is based on a person's natural knowledge.
Neurolinguistics develops in the identification of organs in the human body, which allow him to speak. (throat, mouth, tongue)
Throat, mouth, and tongue are a natural piano of 22 notes
A natural piano belongs to a person with natural knowledge
The man with natural knowledge invented a language for himself based on the sounds produced by the natural piano.
And this is how the process of creating a language is described.
A silent person with natural knowledge touches a block of ice, and miraculously a clear natural knowledge comes to him.
The silent person suddenly realized that he knew something.
There is no way to describe this news because man has not yet invented words. And even though the words had not yet been invented, the person who touched a block of ice suddenly knew a wonderful and clear new knowledge.
And here a miracle happened, and the silent man realized that he needed to give a name to this clear knowledge.
This silent person is a person with a natural knowledge inherent in him, and he knew that his natural piano can provide sounds, which can be used as the name of
The aforementioned natural knowledge.
This silent man chose a short name, which derives from two notes of his natural piano, the sound of K and the sound of R
And so it happened, that the combination of the two sounds (cold) became the name of a natural knowledge, which comes to man following contact with a block of ice.
This is where the creation of human language begins, which is the language of names of natural information.
All the conditions of creation are found in the silent person.
Ingenuity is inherent in the silent person, natural knowledge is inherent in the silent person, and the natural piano is part of the silent person's body.
Every person can learn a language of natural knowledge. This language requires the person who wants to learn to make an act of touching a block of ice, like the silent person,
After that, the learner will come to the two cold sounds of his natural piano, and then he will understand that this is the name of the natural knowledge that came to him, following contact with a block of ice.
The name of natural knowledge is chosen arbitrarily,
And any combination of sounds can correspond to this.
The combination of sounds (חם) was chosen to be the name of a natural knowledge, which miraculously comes to the person approaching the fire.
The combination of the sounds Hm was also chosen arbitrarily.
This is how human language is created, based on natural information that comes to them, following actions they do in physical reality.
such as (to touch, walk, jump, taste, smell) etc.
This language is a name language of natural information
coming to humans, following actual actions they do in physical reality.
Touch and natural knowledge comes, smell and another natural knowledge comes, see and natural knowledge comes
Otherwise, you taste and another natural knowledge comes, and more,
Now it remains to choose sounds from the natural piano, like
The sounds of Halak, or the sounds of Mahosfs, or the sounds of Metok, and these will be the names of some of the natural knowledge that came to humans, following the actions they did. in physical reality.
This is how a human language is created, which is a language of names of natural information. Every word in the human language is
Name of natural knowledge - coming to man, following an actual act he does in physical reality.
It is impossible to create human language with the help of the sounds emanating from the throat, because the sounds are just noise.
If the voices are names of natural information following an action in physical reality, then the language is created immediately, and it can be used.
All linguists in the last 100 years have used the noise of words coming from their throats to create human language and explain it.
All these linguists have failed. And as a result of this failure, the Nesbari Law appeared saying:
You cannot study a language through its words.
Neurolinguistics began to create a human language, which is a language of names of natural information.
The selection of names takes place with the help of the natural pianos of humans, which are able to produce many sounds such as sound A, sound B, sound C and so on.
Humans easily invented thousands of languages, because they
They knew - that language is invented by actions, not by words.
The linguists of the last 100 years did not know that language is invented by actions, and they spoke, and spoke,
And they spoke, and made a noise from their throats - which remained a noise.
This noise failed to invent a language.
Esbar's research revealed the secret of human language, which is the language of names of natural information - which come to man following an act he does,
Every such act brings natural knowledge to the person, and the person who creates the language gives a name to the natural knowledge.
Neural linguistics, versus Chomsky's linguistics.
Neurolinguistics is completely new, and it is completely different from Chomsky's linguistics.
Chomsky's linguistics is based on words, which are scribbles of meaningless lines, so the failure of this linguistics is predictable.
There is no possibility to understand doodles, with the help of other doodles, whose names are words.
Neurolinguistics is based on actual actions
that man does, and these actions bring man
Miraculously, natural news.
A person touching a block of ice receives a very clear natural knowledge, and the person gives it an arbitrary name.
He achieves the arbitrary name with the help of his natural piano. capable of making many sounds.
People already know the natural knowledge that the name of consists of the sound k and the sound r
This whole process takes place with the help of natural intelligence.
A robot touching a block of ice has no natural intelligence, and no natural knowledge.
The robot has artificial intelligence, and it can measure the temperature of the contact, but it does not have a clear natural knowledge of the contact with a block of ice.
A person has such clear natural knowledge.
There is a profound difference between artificial and natural intelligence. Natural intelligence belongs to a person who obtains natural knowledge as a result of an act he does.
Artificial intelligence is limited, and will never reach the natural intelligence of a human.
There are many expectations of artificial intelligence, and neural linguistics has lowered the level of expectations, to a simple mechanical level that works, but does not know.
Neurolinguistics is a song of praise for the knowledgeable person

The era of scientific revolutions based on "natural knowledge" has arrived.
It is about a linguistic revolution that discovered the secret of human language.
And it is also about a geometric revolution, which discovered a new geometry.
And it is also about a physical revolution, which discovered a new physics and a new universe.
Computers will never be able to speak human language, because computers have no natural knowledge.

I can't believe he said such nonsense, the reporter probably didn't understand
In any case, it is interesting if an algorithm that passes the Turing test will really understand things and can be considered intelligent or if it will just be another specialization of the AI field, similar to decoding and creating images
Come on, artificial intelligence is still light years away.
Everything is based on predefined decision tables
Public relations for a start-up company and nothing else
What is general artificial intelligence? what do we do with it ?
Sounds a bit too general
There is no doubt that Intel paid an excessive amount. And here is the proof.; Confusion and lack of focus
The title is misleading, it is possible and speaking does not mean that general artificial intelligence is almost here...
Amnon Shashua did not say that it is almost here, nor did he bring examples of it.. He brought beautiful examples of narrow artificial intelligence and perhaps directions that will lead to general intelligence in the future, but from here to "almost here" there is still a long way to go..
