Group Kickoff Meeting Part 2

Last meeting's presentation on computerised language understanding can found at: https://hemseye.org/wp/2018/08/07/make-ai-happen-brighton-meetup-launch-meeting/.

This link contains the presentation I gave as well as a link to the videos (four in all) of me giving the presentation.

Following on from the groups initial meeting we discussed what to do next. The suggestions made were:

1. I will give a short presentation on AI in society and AI safety concerns. We then plan to discuss AI safety.

2. We plan to discuss DARPA's plans for explainable AI. DARPA is the US organisation that controls the next generation of US military-led AI research. What DARPA is planning is very similar in aim to my development proposal. We will be discussing:

However what DARPA has published currently appears less ambition. I have only skip read their proposal so far. It should, however, be remembered that it might also be the case that what DARPA has released is currently more of a PR exercise rather than a detailed explanation of their real plans.

3. Can anyone bring along ideas of any topic they want to discuss big or small. I think we should find some time in each meetings for some show and tell time. I plan to bring along my Naturewatch PI Zero wildlife camera. See https://mynaturewatch.net/

4. Discussions on further developing and marketing plans for open source community owned computerised language understanding via an embeddable discrete event simulation engine client and cloud server knowledge repository (the HEMSEYE - The HivE Mind'S EYE). Completion of this modelling work would allow development of improved language understanding from text (traditional AI) audio (improved Siri etc) and video / SLAM (novel robotic / youtube cognitive) inputs.
