The Future of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (Andrew Ng, Stanford University, STAN 2011)

[deanmullen10]

It'll be interesting when software can write literature and software begins writing books.

[xXSkelotonDudeXx]

cool realy imprestive this will most likely be sold in the future we will basicly we will be counting on them for everything so the lifespan would be shorter because we wouldn't stay fit but good invention

[Justinyork06]

I want bean bag chairs in my classroom.......

[johnchandara]

OMG, whats next, GLaDOS?!

--Aperture Science(2030)--

Scientist1: lets link a AI to a neurotoxin generator!

Scientist2: Good Thinking!!!!

Scientist1: The whole client will like this!

[klayman14]

I feel like this guy could easily end up being the world's first super villains.

[DOTKIX]

when your robot slams his hands on the desk and says "I DID NOT MURDER HIM" that's when you know we went to far.

[angelite143]

it would make people lazy to do household chores otherwise this is brilliant

[Highway1One]

they shouldn't use vision, they should use sonar---like a bat

[Esoparagon]

He's a good speaker.

[DeszuDjizlas]

1:33 human beings also need controll and perception,

[think4schools]

very good

[IQ20000Berta]

14:03 Is she a robot

[leorahul16]

Excellent talk!

[42Siren]

Prof Andrew is one of the best teachers i have ever known.....he is an excellent personality !!

[Apjooz]

Sounds promising.

[dfhoho]

what i think is necessary her and all robotics is eliminating the more difficult task of learning every single thing like a human when speed hasnt reached its pinnacle with cpu's, RFID chip every tiny thing around us so bots can find them car snych cross roads nonstop drive home ect.. car can copy an owners driving paths and remember them and learn the psychics the the vehicle as well as enviroment conditions and daily routs routine, not learning to drive from scratch, seriously.

[andenandenia]

Intelligence will prove useful in several areas

[maratharules1]

nothing special, even small kid with enough robotics knowledge know about SIFT algorithms and how neural networks work to train using data...fail!!

[Edricofifrit]

Thumbs up if you thought that was a big mole or wart on his face at first.

[tassadarha]

This guy is really awesome! I've heard his class in Machine Learning!

[eswyatt]

The experiment rewiring the ferret's brain also showed there are limits to the plasticity. The map of the visual field was far more precise left-right direction than in the up-down direction, because the auditory cortex does a one-dimensional job of arranging frequencies.

[oerjkjgj]

I completely agree with the idea of developing a single streamline machine learning mechanism basem on NN and just have it figure out the problems instead of trying to define rule/mathematical model based systems for all the different complex problems! Since im too lazy to make it happen its nice to know someone else is actually working in this direction '-.-.

[artificialintellige1]

REALLY VERY GOOD AND INTERESTING VIDEO

[michael616joaquin]

They're paying how much for this lecture?? bahahaha

[nokiaowner]

one of the reasons I enrolled into the ai online class ;)

[1azer0]

16:12 Nice trick. (upper left-hand corner of the screen, just in front of the lady in dark magenta) I like to listen to myself talk, too.

[alexgrinkov]

@1azer0

editing fail

[rlstric1]

@1azer0 lol I love how the dude next to him is trying so hard not to laugh XD

[YxFLETCHxY]

@1azer0 O I C whut yuu did thar!!

[Notenoughepics]

@1azer0 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[dudestube]

Applications for robot helicopter: War

[dudestube]

Robotic Helicopters can mean one thing = Constant surveillance. In medicine, perhaps something better. Everywhere else, means people out of jobs and higher levels of eavesdropping and less control of personal information. Are you really happy with the lack of control over personal information..?

[dudestube]

Humans are lazy

[NerdFlavoredCondom]

What if robots will think like us? Should we truly fear it? That would mean human falling for robots maybe though lol

[Molhedim]

Self-replicating destructive robots or Flying Octopus Overlords.....hmm i dont know what to choose.

[clintburford]

Yeah just like programming a CMM or CNC <(") But it can even get further then that, I'm working on some A.I. projects.. Great Video though.. :-)

[mhdenpente]

promising

[hell0funkys]

YOU MEAN THIS WASN'T ALL FOR COFFEE MUGS!? OUTRAGEOUS!

[geofish101]

4:50

[EasTRimXs]

He is a robot .

[eskinderg]

i thought he was gonna show us the robot flying the helicopter

[thejakel11225]

this should be on TED.

[stfuplzzzz]

he said idear hahahahahaha1!!!!!!!!

[dude12nothin]

Smart machines? That is all we are. We are just the ones that made even smarter ones so why would you be surprised that they could "win"?

[rgaleny]

Synthetic apriori are samples.

[mhdenpente]

good

[Novantii]

Imagine Los Angeles when all of the manual labor jobs are taken by clean efficient robots and all the black and mexican pedos and rapists are deported/starved to death. No traffic, no obese HIV+ defects wandering around ruining your aesthetic mood, etc. Beautiful. The future cannot come soon enough.

[TheDuck1234]

@Novantii black and mexican ! why stop there ? xD

[megatronlv7]

When the AI will be self aware and will be able to physically replace human being, entire world will change, for better or worse that will be up to us.

[TheLizard17]

As more and more robots replace real workers and artificial intelligence rises, more and more humans will lose their jobs... BUT, things will get cheaper and cheaper

[smb123211]

Your complaint (humans will lose their jobs) has been used for centuries. Just to name a few - the railroads, cars, computers, microwaves, electricity - the essence of modern life, have all been disparaged for the same reason.

What will scientists do with all those computers (calculator - lol)? What about those who make horse feed, shoes and equipment? Won't restaurants go out of business with microwaves?  Needless to say, all were wrong.

[Shakespeare1612]

No cup will be safe from the robotic overlords.

[timothyforvendetta]

I hate having to hold my dick while I pee. Hopefully a machine can free up the time and effort it takes me to hold such a massive thing, so I can purse other wonderful things. How about people stop collect hordes and hordes of shit so we won't need robots to clean up their fucking bullshit. I mean I can understand a BUNCH of shit being a mess, but I don't want a robot to be adjusted to my moms perception where a coffee cup on the counter is "being a pig".....these people are fucking lunatics.

[philvlam]

@timothyforvendetta Say that to people who lost a limb and are waiting for AI technology to get their life back. It's not only about picking up mugs, it's also about understanding how the brain work to discover how to give blind people their sight, to restore dead nerve cells of vegetative person and much much more. Maybe that your mom clean your room for you but if we have a way to make cheap robots to do domestic tasks, that could be a huge improvement to a lot of people.

[timothyforvendetta]

@philvlam There you go. Why don't you write for people in A.I. Talking about the wonderful possibilities for cleaning a house is idiotic, like the end of this video, compared to things that actually equal sometime important. A clean house is not.

[philvlam]

@timothyforvendetta You don't go from single calculating programs to high-tech vision robots in one step. You have to set yourself smaller goals to increase knowledge in your domain. One day, because of the works of hundred of scientists, maybe blind people will be able to see like us. But if it's doable, why won't we just get best of our technology. Honestly i'd rather spend 5 more hours a week studying and having fun than cleaning dishes and my appartement. That's not only about a clean house.

[unabomberman]

@timothyforvendetta

You clearly don't understand the implications of this kind of research.

[timothyforvendetta]

@unabomberman I understand it, but you don't seem to understand that I am speaking about the end of this video. He calls cleaning the house, filling out "silly paper work", and going shopping for "trivial items" as acts of mental drudgery.....I find that a little disheartening toward the bigger implications of the work.

[unabomberman]

@timothyforvendetta

His focus on "menial" things has no bearing on the bigger implications of his work. A quick glimpse at the problems he's tackling is enough to make someone realize that.

[captainsafety]

Andrew Ng, you are awesome, and that speech was really inspirational.

[dvalentino007]

Ever heard of Zbigniew Brzezinski. Youtube "It's easier to kill a million people than controll them"

[dvalentino007]

best read from my primary comment

[dvalentino007]

I don't wanna sound pissed off but this technology is a threat and your playing with it. I may have spent a proportion of my life on collectivism but that is natural and life shouldn't be forced into the labour camps from the point of puberty.as a distraction from our natural way. We still have to learn who we are are and what goals we want to set ourselves in the future and not schemes like work experience where people get so overwhelmed when their heights are challenged they turn to drugs etc

[dvalentino007]

a better word other than objective would be critical

[dvalentino007]

Problem is everyone has a Gizmo to do everything for them today. A car for us to travel short distances, a machine to massage avoiding human interaction, a coffee maker just in case we can't handle a spoon, a remote control so we don't have to use the bodies god (powers that be) gave us. It's obvious movies aren't there for our entertainment but to influence or guide us to hieghts in the new millenium if you are objective

[dvalentino007]

Ever see that movie D.A.R.Y.L. well not all humans are cute and fuzzy like the people intent on the implications of this technology

[dvalentino007]

Borgmentations could inevitably become the death of the humanity. Nice Gizmo but when humanity joins with computers then how will we know that a hacker won't advance it further past it's own programmings creating a self serving cyborg mentality only intent of preservation of it's own existence. Dangerous technology. Movies may be fictional but they are an interpretation of humanity or how we or powers want it to be. This is a suicidal advance. Robots should only serve man and not become man

[HouseboxTV]

It should be possible to teach robots as children, learn to observe, as we all did during the grow process till today, how can I do that, learning in observation.

Applies to annything, even cards with pictures of dogs that were vocalized by my mother saying "dog", we associate de image do the word.

It's all about whatch and learn!

Just my 2 cents.

[ProjectAwesome1]

@HouseboxTV many new robotic/AI approaches take this method. Check out stuff by Hod Lipson, or Hanson robotics, and Lingodroid!

[heythisrocks]

Wireless censors everywhere Humm wow I just thought of something

[heythisrocks]

If wireless internet that's invisible I'm sure they can use satalites around the earth that pick up on all things withoutbus knowing like all the info they need if u got abphone or how they have our info were all ina big computer base just like games they have invisible dots around a persons body but in real life like WiFi or satilite of a remote

[lYrICalsSH]

@gespik I'm fairly certain that having a robot correctly identify a mug 97% of the time is AI.

[gespilk]

I was waiting for the bus.A pigeon(P1) skilfully landed nearby.It started walking and searching.A pigeon(P2) also landed behind a low fence with a gap below it.P2 started gorging on something.P1recognised the behaviour of P2.It ran towards P2.When P1 reached the fence it looked left,right and then lowered its body and went underneath it.

The tiny P1's brain could do landing,searching,running,beha­viour recognition,planning to avoid obstacles.P1 "knew" its size.

So,Are we there yet?

AI is more!

[CrazyAjvar]

@gespilk Well in the 50's the regular spelling checker would be consider a form of AI. You can not expect human reasoning just yet. Making a pigeon-like robot would be a giant leap really. Small steps and maybe some days we will have Lt. Commander Data running around trying to understand humor.

[gespilk]

Dude, people like me had that idea 20-more years ago. I am surprised you discovered it 5 years ago. What makes mammals is only few types of sensors and few types of neurons that do only one simple thing. The rest is in the structures they form and what chemicals surround them.

Well, you can memorise stuff and do math better than me though, so I guess that is the reason you are there and people a willing to fund you.

However, driving around and recognising mugs is not AI, even bird can do it.

[phoenixwithinme]

really promising!

[jnwpse]

Captcha beware!

[CARLHALEY1964]

you going a bout it the wrong way use (( light .))

[iso56k123]

We should outlaw robot police and soldiers.

[jnwpse]

YES!!!! Now were talking!

[jiyinyiyong]

i like this video

[ystar]

Great talk. Anyone know why does 'classical computer vision' accuracy mention SVMs? That's a machine learning technique as well, and there's a parallel - perceptrons are linear separators that become nonlinear separators when connected in a neural network, and SVMs look for linear separation in a higher domain than the current problem...you still have to learn the decision boundary.

[Zareste]

what a moron

[itsMinuteMaid]

"Who here wants a robot to clean your house?"

...But then what's my wife gonna do?

[imranalnoor]

ah sure professor gave the exactness of the AI ... soon all industries and rest of the world ll'b artificially intelligent

[Mattiasivan]

de druk a duuuurr!

[thecoolster28]

dey took arr jobs!

[ProfessorKlamp]

Love the Aperture Science logo on the cleaning bot!

[metabog]

So assume you guys have another team working on the deadly neurotoxin? Who's handling the mashy spike plates?

[tamsanh]

Is there a paper published that I can read about this algorithm?

[carlosjhr64]

I think a great insight is that washing machines are *robots*. We can build lots of really cool robots now... we just need to stop trying to build a monkey. Look at Rumba, for example, a robot vacuum cleaner.

[Timdotz]

Clap clap clap

[Sinuev1]

Well, it makes sense to model AI routines on insights neuroscience is giving us in understanding the human brain. After all, the number of calculations and power performance for the energy consumption required is astounding.

But if we model our AI systems after how our own brain works, then IF strong AI were to emerge at some point from those systems... should they be considered (at least in part) human?

[ulysses200289]

@Sinuev1 I think well educated and open minded persons can accept them as parts of society but still people have to understand that they are trying to build AI which can understand human emotions it is like people have pets as companion and some for replacing a lost human bonding. Build as if they can be friends or colleagues not pets.

[WaltersKenny]

He's a robot, correct? Lol. :)

[weward]

@14:04 beautiful lady. :)

[kald0rei]

i wonder what Hari Seldon and Isaac Asimov think of this

[JoeTube2]

This is amazing, but the professors view of the world as suffering from silly chores rather than actual problems is a bit worrying.

[sdrawkcabgnipytmi]

@JoeTube2

He's just doing what he's interested in, what the hell is wrong with that?

[JoeTube2]

@sdrawkcabgnipytmi I think you misunderstood me. I have a lot of respect and admiration for the professor, and he's a pioneer in probably the most important human experiment.

I'm a mechanical engineering major myself and would die a happy man if I ever wrote a single line of programming to contribute to his type of work. I would however focus more on e.g. space exploration and housing the homeless in my presentation on TED rather than petty house chores.

[sdrawkcabgnipytmi]

@JoeTube2

Fair enough. Although I think that this kind of research would be applicable to and extremely useful for space exploration. It makes more sense to figure out how to get robots to correctly do chores in peoples homes before trying to get them to do somewhat similar tasks in space/on other planets.

[SalsaTiger83]

@JoeTube2 imagine how many bad guys you could kill with an autonomous helicopter drone.....

[Wiseinvestor777]

@SalsaTiger83 Imagine all the worthless people you could kill and not put yourself in danger.......

[mindmineral]

was i the only one expecting a hi-tech robot demo?

[thankqwerty]

@mindmineral

That is the hi-tech demo lol.

[sckchui]

I, for one, am glad that our super-intelligent robot masters will inherit the Earth and go on to conquer the galaxy in an unstoppable self-replicating plague.

[Wiseinvestor777]

@sckchui I can only hope you are being sarcastic because if you are serious then I would suggest taking a physics class and moving on from there.

[Icemario87]

@sckchui As long as they look like humans, I'm glad too!

*bows down to robot overlords*

[sckchui]

@Dirtfire

Well, 1) I'm playing on a common science fiction theme, and no one knows how intelligent machines will think; 2) the whole point of this talk is that you don't program machines to do anything specific, you program them to learn and let them figure out the difficult bits; 3) might not humanity be considered a self-replicating plague, spread across the planet and consuming all of its resources? "Plague" is a matter of perspective.

[plasticpals1]

@sckchui A self-propagating interstellar intelligence would be like a light shining in the darkness of the universe - hardly a plague!

[CodyRicheson]

@sckchui, you're assuming we as a species are smart enough to make that a reality. Which we might be.

[dvalentino007]

@CodyRicheson but should we

[BeakyRed]

@sckchui We will create a race of super intelligent dalek-like empires that will conquer galaxies for eons.

[mcblaze1968]

@sckchui Well hopefully they'll remember us, the creators.

[XenogeneGray]

2045 singularity, here we come :)

[djdevil0000]

I thought he was gonna fly the damn thing :P Great vid tho!

[SkidRowRadio]

god i hope we never have cleaner robots.. what an almight waste of fuckin energy and time and resources. fuck cleaning robots, fuck dishwashers and fuck tumble driers. the collapse of the modern world will be down to consumer electronics.

and im only half joking

[Gh0StSecurity]

there are people doing reverse engieneering to the brain if we get the source code of out brain we might apply it for a robot! dumbs up for this comment if u know what an ANN is about!

[AEVautomatic]

They will took yer job!

[MarkoKraguljac]

@AEVautomatic Finally!! When? :D

[nicadi2005]

@AEVautomatic They can HAVE my job!! I don't like it very much anyway! :P

[kefsound]

@AEVautomatic I hope so

[TunioMir]

@AEVautomatic SO that you can go have fun and do whatever YOU want!.....i thought people hated their jobs?? :P

[mymindsiinc]

@AEVautomatic if you spell like that, it won't be hard for a robot to take your job!

[BeakyRed]

@mymindsiinc its a south park reference

[divernika]

@AEVautomatic took ar job...tooktr
