China has become a major player in AI

- chucksmash 9y agoInteresting that the article is in the top ten twice. Is the dupe detector down?

- deepnotderp 9y ago"United States, where artificial intelligence was pioneered and established." Assuming this is talking about deep learning, I wish this myth would die, but it's repeated again and again, by people like Ted Cruz and media outlets with little knowledge. Deep learning was pioneered in Canada, not the US....
- friedman23 9y agoArtificial intelligence was pioneered in the US and you have to be insane to say that it wasn't established in it also. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence#Histor... >The field of AI research was born at a workshop at Dartmouth College in 1956.[18] Attendees Allen Newell (CMU), Herbert Simon (CMU), John McCarthy (MIT), Marvin Minsky (MIT) and Arthur Samuel (IBM) became the founders and leaders of AI research.[19] They and their students produced programs that the press described as "astonishing":[20] computers were winning at checkers, solving word problems in algebra, proving logical theorems and speaking English.[21] By the middle of the 1960s, research in the U.S. was heavily funded by the Department of Defense[22] and laboratories had been established around the world.[23] AI's founders were optimistic about the future: Herbert Simon predicted, "machines will be capable, within twenty years, of doing any work a man can do." Marvin Minsky agreed, writing, "within a generation ... the problem of creating 'artificial intelligence' will substantially be solved."[24]
- deepnotderp 9y agoAgain, I was assuming this is talking about deep learning. I understand that hating on deep learning is popular, but the current AI boom, including AlphaGo (which triggered the Chinese interest in AI according to this article) is driven by deep learning.
- yeukhon 9y agoGot reference to back this up? AlphaGo research is done by Deepmind which is London-based. Google, Facebook and Baidu all have labs in various of non-U.S locations, but I would bet the vast majority of research labeled as "deep learning" would be papers originated from the U.S. although if someone would build a tool to do just that...
- deepnotderp 9y agoDeep nets made AlphaGo successful, which came from Canada primarily. Also, deep mind is chock full of Canadian deep learning graduates, ie Alex graves.
