Hi,

I was just wondering if we've made some progress in that field of
Artificial Intelligence and Linux.

Is there is packages in repos., which one might it be the best ? a deb ?

A system that would learn ...

Personally, I would stay away from AI...

I have a cousin who is designing it right now. Its scary what it is capable of already. I don't know what system they use.

? Scary you mean ?

There is a lot of info at google about this but without knowing what you want to do you'll have to track down what you want yourself.

Actually my NI doesn't even seem high enough to understand half of what those apps are about....

I remember a program called Magellan for the Amiga which was for designing expert systems. AI research is simply about getting computers better at tasks that are easy for humans but hard for computers. Expert systems (rule based systems) are employed by credit card companies to approve or reject transactions and flag suspicious purchases which may indicate a stolen card. Before that a human would have to do this. There are a more credit cards used for more types of purchases. We couldn't do it the old way. Another use of an expert system is the SEC monitoring stock purchases looking for possible illegal activity & insider trading. There is just too much data streaming by for people to do it.

Other areas are speech synthesis, speech recognition, image recognition, neural networks, model based systems & text analysis.
Linux has the Festival package for speech synthesis. However in the other areas, you will need to look for lesser known packages. Many are available due to Linux's Unix heritage, with the work done in Universities on large Unix machines.

I read about a language translation experiment in 1960. A program was written to translate between English and Russian. To test it they input an English Bible quotation and translated it to Russian and then back again. In English "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." It can back as "The vodka is good, but the meat is rotten.".

It seems no one here has seen the Matrix or iRobot. lol...

I'm just afraid that AI will be part of our undoing.

What a great quote too!

you forgot Terminator 2 and Terminator 3. Good movies

I was just going to say that..lol do you really want a skynet? I mean yes it's just a movie and it will probly never happen, but if by any chance it does, don't think for a second that real life will have the same outcome as the movies, if we do create an A.I that can learn and make choices without any hard coded rules, what makes you think it is going to be on our side when it becomes self-aware of what we really are? Do you honestly think they will just think hey sure why not, lets join the party?

A.I. should not be played with, it should be carefully experimented with and build in such a way that if it does try to go a-wall that it is automatically shut down

The "A" in "AI" stands for artificial.

I don't think it can't get possibly any worse than the mess our fearless leaders manage to create sans AI.

Don't worry too much about Artificial Intelligence. "Real" Intelligence, or the lack of it, is much more dangerous.

Don't fear artificial intelligence, war will make us extinct before AI ever does.

Well, most of windows programing is crap ; Run Windows stuff (except Office 2000) and one will see that Artificial Intelligence will never happen !!

At least not 'till Microsoft exists and release products.

Hate to bring up the fact here...

The "A" in "AI" does not mean:

It means:

The term "AI" does not imply that it has a lack of intelligence, simply that it is not a biological intelligence.
