    From AGI to ASI examines the future development of machine intelligence, whereas the paper calls for progress across computer science.

    Abstract

    Over the last decade, building human-level artificial general intelligence has moved from far-fetched speculation to being a concrete next-decade target for many of the largest AI organisations. Achieving this goal would have profound and far-reaching impacts on human society, which raises many complex questions for the decade ahead. This report investigates how AI itself might continue to develop in a post-AGI world along the continuum of machine intelligence. The endpoint of this continuum, Universal AI, is theoretically well understood, which provides some formal grounding for the main focus of this report: the transition from human-level AGI to artificial general superintelligence, which…

    New Trends in Second Language Learning and Teaching through the lens of ICT, Networked Learning, and Artificial Intelligence
    Jaya Kannan, P. Munday · 2018 · CIRCULO de linguistica aplicada a la comunicacion · cited 101 times · Not summarized yet

    New Trends in Second Language Learning and Teaching through the lens of ICT, Networked Learning, and Artificial Intelligence studies AI among technologies for language learning.

    Abstract

    In the last few decades, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) applications have been shaping the field of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paved the way for ubiquitous learning. The advent of new technologies in the early 21st century also added a social dimension to ICT that allowed for Networked Learning (NL). Given that language learning is fundamentally a socio-cultural experience, networked learning capabilities have provided the potential for language learning in community settings. This has revitalized the earlier frameworks provided by CALL. NL has empowered language learners today to connect globally, to access Open Educ…

    The Increasing Risks of Risk Assessment: On the Rise of Artificial Intelligence and Non-Determinism in Safety-Critical Systems
    Chris W. Johnson · 2018 · Evolution of System Safety · cited 23 times · Not summarized yet

    The Increasing Risks of Risk Assessment examines how AI in autonomous safety-critical systems challenges traditional risk assessment.

    Abstract

    Risk assessment plays a key role in Safety Management Systems. For more than forty years, likelihood and consequence have been used to guide the allocation of finite resources. Standards, such as IEC61508 and the DO-178 series, extended these concepts to support the development of software related systems. Human reliability analysis developed risk assessment techniques to represent and reason about operator ‘error’ and management failure. However, new challenges raise questions about the utility of traditional approaches to the development of safety-critical systems. The introduction of artificial intelligence within autonomous systems makes it hard to reason about the probability and conseq…

How are these papers found?

We compare the title and abstract of this paper with those of every paper summarized on this site, and with the papers Semantic Scholar recommends, those it cites and those citing it (for a much-cited paper, its most recent citations and, from OpenAlex, the most cited ones). Among the prior work and the follow-ups, the papers that use each other in depth, a method it uses and the much-cited follow-ups come a little higher. The levels (very close, close, related) come from the similarity of the texts, not from a judgment of quality; * marks a paper without an abstract, compared by its title. The sentence under a paper is written by an AI from the two abstracts: check it in the papers. A paper marked not relevant by three readers leaves the list.
