TIS Weekly (#99): The Road To Artificial Intelligence
[April 30th, 2017]
This last week was dominated by the color orange. Why orange? Type ‘kingsday’ into the big Google machine and you’ll find out soon enough. Crazy Dutch. Love it. Coming back to this month’s theme Robots & AI, one wonders whether robots would ever be build for celebrations. More often than not, robots are all about efficiency. Hmm.. what would an efficient party robot look like? Gives the most amazing party in under 60 minutes? Then kicks everybody out. And cleans up afterwards?

AI and clinical trials
Deep 6 AI applies artificial intelligence and natural language processing to medical records to find patients for clinical trials much faster than current methods. This speeds up medical research and gives patients better access to live-saving treatments.

AI and mirrors
By using mirrors, Luc Steels (Neurorobotics Research Laboratory) lets robots learn how to move their own bodies. Maybe a step these robots skipped? According to Luc, true artificial intelligence can only be achieved if machines develop like young children do, including developing their own language.
