Knowing that this is of interest for many members, figured it was about time an AI subject based thread was posted. With this as a kick start, I hope others will follow up and post information they may have had, or recently dug up. There hasn't been a decent thread on Artificial Intelligence for some time now, and hopefully others will also contribute to change that.

This concept is not as far off as most probably think. Sure it is not any where advanced as scifi, but that is why that's science fiction, right. So with out further delay, I present to you what a simple and dependable search reveils on the topic of this thread. This isn't going to be a very long list of sites, there by not complete by any means. If it was, there would be no room for others to reply.

This first link is the most recent found, however it is a PDF;
DARPA Grand Challenge 2005

About half way down this link is the AI info, not much but it is a start remember;
DARPA FY 03.2 SBIR Solicitation

DARPA's own website about "BIOLOGICALLY-INSPIRED
COGNITIVE ARCHITECTURES";
DARPA Information Processing Technology Office



At DARPA, funding for AI research is spread among a number of program areas, each with a specific application focus.

Another link that was under different URL;

Now is this

This next link really caught my attention due to it's address containing "carlisle", a section of study within the OARP. Even though I know it is a barracks, and most likely not OARP related.

War College students gain an appreciation for the military implications of AI and emerging automation technology.

When speaking of AI, personally the 1st thing comes to mind is of the human form.

As even a cursory scan throught the web will show, the field of robotics is developing at a fast pace.

Even a parent wandering through a toy store will notice the rapidly improving tech of even the interactive toy world.

msnbc.msn.com...

web-japan.org...

news.bbc.co.uk...

The last link, give me quite a bit of thought, as its clear that soon, there will be a robot than to the human eye, unless given a close expection, will be human enough in appearance to pass off.

Oh....fair play to them, but why is it that the Japanese seem to be way in front of developing this technology?

DARPA & AI are amongst my specialties. This is a great thread though, I'm surprised i didnt find it before, there's some links in here I cant wait to fully research later. Here are some programs that i know about:

DATA INTENSIVE COMPUTING
www.darpa.mil...
Google Search Results
The purpose of the Data Intensive Systems (DIS) program is to develop a new memory architecture for computing systems that allows "data-starved" applications to run up to two to three orders-of-magnitude faster than they will on contemporary virtual memory systems. The new memory architecture will allow these applications to manage the placement and flow of their data. In addition, applications will be able to manipulate data in the memory subsystem itself.


High Productivity Computing Systems (HPCS)

All out effort to discover and assemble basically all possible 21st century computing systems, which are key to making their AI programs all they can be.

TRANSFER LEARNING (TL)
Solicitaion was here a couple months ago, but Google still pulls up lots of info.
It's to enable computers to apply knowledge learned for a particular, original set of tasks to achieve superior performance on new, previously unseen tasks.


Then there's the DISA programs:

Just your basic "Net-Centric" "Global Information Grid" systems. Sarcasm, GIG is the new frontier of military computing, until they get to hook GIG into their super AI systems (if they already haven't). Be sure to check out these programs under DISA:
-Adaptive BattleSpace Awareness (RFID Tracking)
-Gridlock ACTD (Advanced video targeting that can utilize video archives from UAV’s)
-Homeland Security/Defense Command and Control (make sure you watch the videos in the link above) As if GCCS i3 wasn't good enough.

Two keys to artificial intelligence through neural network that have not been solved yet, are

1) scale: During the ninth week of fetal development, a human embryo grows 125,000 brain cells per minute. When Cray first came out with the "Thinking Machine" computer, a parallel computer with thousands of processors, the NSA (at that time not publically named) bought a few and Cray had to deliver them to an empty parking lot. The idea was to see what massive parallelism would buy you, computationally. But think about the distinction, 1,000 processors, versus the growth of 125,000 neurons a minute.

2) n-dimensional connective topology:Current hardware connectivity in neural nets is two dimensional, making it very difficult to achive the massive, long distance connection between neurons in the brain. Those cnnections can occur in a manner to create 5 or more dimensions of topological locality. One neural network research told me that the day we achieve ways to get more than 2 dimensions in hardware neural nets, everything will change. As for software nets,well, they are by nature slow.

If both of these issues were solved, we could 'grow' many advanced algorithms that would work but that we would never fully understand.

DARPA spreads out AI research to create practical applications for it. I've seen it in some of the DARPA programs I have worked on. Expert intelligence is a tough field, but oh so useful if you can get it to work.
