If you ’re looking for some seriously mind - blow hard science fiction online this afternoon , look no further than a raw ( free online ) short story , “ Engineers ’ Dreams , ” by skill historian George Dyson . chum of techbiz genius Esther Dyson , George is known for his meticulous , entertaining historical investigation into secret government science labor of the 20th hundred . Now he ’s turned his eyes to the twenty - first century , and has written a highly - inform and brilliant tarradiddle of how Google could become the first true artificial intelligence agency . Read an excerpt below .
From the floor :
When Ed study the dealings , he realized that Google was doing more than map the digital world . Google does n’t just link up or point to data . It moves data point around . Data that are associated frequently by search requests are locally replicated - lay down physical propinquity , in the substantial universe , that is manifested computationally as law of proximity in clip . Google was more than a map . Google was becoming something else .
I ’ve heard many webbish futurist reflect that A.I. is going to come from search algorithmic rule and user - engender capacity , but this is the first time I ’ve ever seen anybody explain it in a plausible way . Excellent read . Image viaModern Life is Rubbish .
