BBN to develop an AI system capable of learning complex human processes

Alert Focus: Mark of the Beast / Image of the Beast / Artifical Omniscience Revelation 13:15 And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. NETWORK WORLD - By Alpha Doggs - July 7, 2006 -- BBN Technologies, an advanced technologies firm has won a $5.5 million grant to create an artificial intelligence system capable learning plans or processes after being shown a single example.The grant, awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), will fund the first phase of the four-year Integrated Learning Program. According to BBN: "The goal of the project is to combine specialized domain knowledge with common sense knowledge to create a reasoning system that learns as well as a person and can be applied to a variety of complex tasks."The first phase of the research will focus on military medical logistics planning to simulate the requirements associated with planning the evacuation of wounded military personnel and civilians from Fallujah to hospitals in Germany and Kuwait. The results could lead to other automated systems capable of learning other tasks of similar complexity, says BBN. http://www.networkworld.com/community/?q=node/6333 FAIR USE NOTICE: This blog contains copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.
