Is 'understanding' the key to AI?  Interview with Kevin Korb @kbkorb on the phenomenon of 'understanding' and developing 'machine understanding' and #AGI - what are the necessary ingredients?  what of the 'frame problem'? #Philosophy #AI #Ethics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdkG8p0veCg&t

Goal-Achievement & Artwork - Catalyzing questions:  - To achieve goals you must represent causal relations - T/F, why?  - You don't really undersand anything if you only 'understand' it in one way - T/F, why?  - Understanding is required for achieving goals accurately and reliably - T/F, why?  - One does not really understand a piece of art - one enjoys it - T/F, why?  - Doing art is not really goal-achievement - so you don't need to understand anything to be an artist - T/F, why? Panelists: Joscha Bach, Leon Kester, David Kremelberg, Jordi Bieger Moderator: Pei Wang Part of a session on Machine Understanding held at AGI17 - see : http://cadia.ru.is/workshops/uuw2017/ #AGI17 #AGI #ArtificialIntelligence #Understanding #MachineUnderstanding #CommonSence #ArtificialGeneralIntelligence #PhilMind Many thanks for watching!

"The End of Aging'' mini-doco got first prize in the Longevity Film Competition 2018! Synopsis : "Aging is a technical problem with a technical solution - finding the solution requires clear thinking and focused effort. Once solving aging becomes demonstrably feasible, it is likely attitudes will shift regarding its desirability.  There is huge potential, for individuals and for society, in reducing suffering through the use of rejuvenation therapy to achieve new heights of physical well-being.  I also discuss the looming economic implications of large percentages of illness among aging populations - and put forward that focusing on solving fundamental problems of aging will reduce the incidents of debilitating diseases of aging - which will in turn reduce the economic burden of illness.  This mini-documentary discusses the implications of actually solving aging, as well as some misconceptions about aging.  The 21st century is a time of unprecedented change - we are...

In recent times there as been surprising progress in stem cell research and in regenerative medicine that will change the world. Aubrey de Grey is the Chief Science Officer of SENS Foundation - an organisation focused on going beyond ageing and leading the journey towards the future of regenerative medicine! What will it take to get there? Here are some topics we will cover: - Updates & progress at SENS - Highlights of promising progress in regenerative medicine in general - Recent funding successes, what can be achieved with this? - Discussion on getting the message across - desirability & feasibility of rejuvenation therapy - Robust Mouse Rejuvenation - now Aubrey predicts only half a decade away - What could be the future of regenerative medicine? - Given progress so far, what can people alive today look forward to?
