Description:

As we deal with an ever increasing flow of information in our daily lives, Computers keep gaining more relevance as decission makers in more complex and deeper levels. How can software bring us Meaning in the near future? This talk will cover current attempts of commercial applications that can take ethical decissions, learn unprogrammed topics, understand its users and even program itself. This rise of modern Artificial Intelligence techniques combined with the vast sea of information available, might be the key for a Conscious Web.

Questions Answered:

  1. What’s the current stage of Artificial Intelligence and the Semantic Web today?
  2. How can the Semantic web lead to a Conscious web?
  3. Can software iterate and improve over its own algorithmical skills?
  4. How do other fields (art, music, maths) take into consideration Recursive systems?
  5. Can we model and shape creativity on software?
  6. How can computers learn and use unexpected (unprogrammed) topics?
  7. Is software capable of interpreting human acitivity beyond direct inputs?
  8. What practical inventions or systems might a computer create or design?
  9. How might computers gain consciousness as their AI’s improve?
  10. How would a Conscious Web change our daily interactions with computers and other people?
