"The internet gave us access to everything; but it also gave everything access to us.""--James Veitch Our daily lives are overloaded with information from more sources than anyone can can count.

"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination."-Albert Einstein Note: this is a repost of a previously (inadvertently) deleted post. Regulating artificial intelligence is a bit like the weather. Everybody talks about it but nobody is doing anything about it. Well--there are efforts, there is trying. But as Yoda said, "there is no try, only do or do not." The big problem, according to Jerome Glenn of the…...

"The real problem is not whether machines think, but whether men do."--B.F. Skinner "To have another language is to possess a second soul."--Charlemagne It's non-stop: the buzz, the chatter, the speculations, the concerns. It's visceral: the excitement, the awe, the deep amazement. But it's also disturbing and at times, to some, terrifying. It's artificial intelligence. We hear about it, we read about, we worry about....
