The possibility of machines being able to lip-read could allow people to control devices without using their hands, such as when driving.
The deep-learning story, from a year ago, also by Markoff, told us of "advances in an artificial intelligence technology that can recognize patterns offer the possibility of machines that perform human activities like seeing, listening and thinking".
What we really want are machines that can go a step further, endowed not only with the soundest codes of ethics that our best contemporary philosophers can devise, but also with the possibility of machines making their own moral progress, bringing them past our own limited early-twenty-first century idea of morality.
While the Times reports that "advances in an artificial intelligence technology that can recognize patterns offer the possibility of machines that perform human activities like seeing, listening and thinking," deep learning takes us, at best, only a small step toward the creation of truly intelligent machines.
The possibility of machining methods clustering as well as grouping of technical equipment by precision and quality characteristics was shown.
In particular, it is plausible to claim that, in the year 2000, educated opinion had altered to the extent that, in many quarters, one could speak of the possibility of machines' thinking and of machines' learning without expecting to be contradicted.
The three tiny teachers demonstrate the possibility of machine-led instruction -- a relationship between humans and technology that would rely on a person's ability to let the machine take control in some instances.
While Hood, Larkin, and Carl Craig's Paperclip People pushed the possibility of machine-made music, largely avoiding traditional band textures, Moodymann reached back to the legacy of 70s R&B, channelling the genre's live funk instrumentation as well as its on-the-ground engagement with politics.
Basically, there's now an algorithm that can decide if your Vines are creative or not, and its potential applications range from the automatic curation of rich creative content to the possibility of machines one day being able to their own creative hyper-short films. .
