I like this part in this classic film. Please note the tear that appears on Kirk Douglas's cheek. It is a constant reminder that we should NOT create robots to be slaves.

Hi Daniel, I know it sounds a bit too much to say as one person that I am about to change what word the world uses. I actually do not expect that because I am personally against the phrase that everyone else will follow. Actually I was quite supris…

Hi Pius, you are right, the term Artificial Intelligence is often misunderstood in the sense, that people think of it as not being "real" or something. It creates the impression that there is intelligence on the one hand, and artificial intelligenc…

Twice in one Day

Hello there,

As I was ending my train of thoughts on the last blog I heard my precious six year old daughter crying. To all you fathers out there you know there is no more heart wrenching sound than that of your child in some kind of distress. She is quite alright but she was very upset her cousin had to rush off before they had a chance to play.

Actually one last thought that I wanted to add on the last blog but will add now was that I would like to share the robot I built for my daughter so… Continue

LONG OVERDUE

Hello

I am so upset at myself for letting this blog posting get so far behind. I just received a message from some who happen to trip into Grandoids and it made me think about a great many things. I know just day to day life can be so busy that we neglect the things that are really , really, really important.

My family and my home are important to me, however not a day goes by that I do not think about robots. I feel I have received this fever and there is no cure. When I think about robots I… Continue

Is Artificial Intelligence artificial ??

Hello

Definitions are very important and they choose in a way the paths we eventually take. It is crucial that at the beginning of any venture woth doing that we know what we are doing. I heard an interview with John McCarthy and it was very enlightening. Noel Sharkey, who was the host of the show asked some very excellent questions. At one point John McCarthy had some second thoughts about the term he helped choose the term "Artificial Intelligence". I was amazed to hear that if he had to do i… Continue

Its Alive !!

Hello

I have been away too long and I have a bunch of excuses. You know no excuse is good enough. I am just beginning to get back to writing stuff on the various web sites that I am interested in. It does my heart good to see that this site, one of my favourites is still alive and with some very interesting posts. I am ever so glad that others have began to add blogs.

The world continues to march on and all of the developments are not always for the maximum good. My last blog was about a debat… Continue
