NEW 2:Artificial infancy


**book: think in english**

**Summary of the new:

Picasso said that the aim of his life was to see like a child.The life goal of one Israeli computer's company is to think like a child:Artificial Intelligence Enterprises believe that their computer can already think like a 15 month-old baby.The computer,called "Hal",is programed to learn like a baby rather than being pre-programed with grammar rules.Hal has a series of learning algorithms that "he" appies to children's stones which are read to him and things that are said to him by a "carer".Hal's algorithms are them modificed according to the sucess of his learning.His creators believe that they can enable Hal to understand complex lenguage,for example distinguishing meaning in sentences like "the cock crows at dawn" and "the crows cock their hands".If Hal's linguistic abilities reach a point where he is fluent in English he will revolutionise computing.Hal is currently learning English but the process for any language would be the same.

**Personal opinion:

I think that this progress in computing isn't very important for us,rather it isn't as important as others progress which our society has conducted,for example the new ways of communications,fasters and more effective.
Well,I think that this advance isn't so useful,because it only can revolutionise computing,and consecuently the life of people with this type of computer,very rich people,and only for evidence any intelligence of computers,quickening the learning process of them,but not the learning of persons:a person don't talk better or understand better or do nothing better thanks to this.
Notwithstandind,this development suppose a strong change in robotics investigations,because it demostrates the possibility to creates an intelligente machine,not the default intelligence,unless the capacity to learn,in better wards,the capacity to live.
With this opinion,I don't want to influence anybody,because it's my personal think,even that in the last paragraph I have tempt to be objective.
