For credibility as hockey players, Pepper and other robots need a proper mouth (to have missing teeth) and some kind of tournament beard
How will the robot dogs mark their environment? Synthetic urine? With RFID stickers? #nextGenNature
The postures of humanoid robots will need slight adjusting in localisation - for example, a standing posture designed to stand out, will need to reflect local cultural ideals for optimal effect
Tampereen vapaudenpatsas 2030
Tekoäly innovaation este? Kun tekoäly on VAIVALLA ja ZILJOONILLA näytteillä esim. oppinut, että maksukortti on vaakasuuntainen, niin eihän sitä suuntaa voi noin vain vaihtaa. Sekaisinhan älykkäät systeemit menevät! Jatkossa on AINA vanhassa vara parempi!
Where do we get eggs after chickens, like everything else, are robotized?
Nykytyöelämä tarvitsee muuntautumis- ja uudistumiskykyisiä, orgaanisia ihmisiä, jotka ovat samaan aikaan kuin digitaalisia kyborgeja. Menneen ajan organisaation rattaissa olevat koneihmiset - homo robotus - ovat historiaa. Siksi onkin hassua, että eräs firma hakee "mekaanista pääsuunnittelijaa"!
Humanoidirobotit rantakuntoon! Robottikevennys tiistaiksi. Kevään tullessa ihmiset jo miettivät kehonsa saattamista rantakuntoon, mutta mitä tekevät humanoidirobotit?· Sellainen ei liho talvellä, joten ei tarvitse laihduttaa.· Niiden väri on usein valkoinen ja vaikka pirteän kirkas sininen. Helppo korjata maalipurkilla. Mutta maalatessa pitää varoa sensoreita, niveliä ja sähköliittimiä sun muita.· Ihmiset parantavat joskus lihaksiaan maalaamalla. Maalattu six pack sopii roboteillekin!· Pepperien näyttöä voi käyttää luomaan kesätunnelmaa monilla tavoin.· Pieni maalattu tatuointikin sopii rantamaailmaan.· Uikkarit kuuluvat asiaan.· Jne...
A "Hello World" program used to be a one-liner. Then came the age of GUIs with multiple class files, and the Web frameworks with lots of components and tools. Next step is AI where you need zillions of greeting samples for the system to reliably figure out how to greet you
In Trailer Park Boys, Ricky accuses his brain for getting him in all kinds of troubles. Soon we'll have AI to blame #good
For improved safety, Boeing is now offering its patented robot pilot technology, originally introduced in the promotional movie Airplane
Sunday robotics: Pepper as tiny RanXerox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RanXerox)
Ajat muuttuvat. Tyhjennetyssä Tammerkoskessa oli ennenvanhaan paljon polkupyöriä, nyt siellä on robotteja
Humanoid robots will need a convincing fake flu. How? Wheezing breathing and coughing are easy to generate. Slumping posture and occasional vibration too. Turn cooling fan off and processor speed up to create fever. Add complaining and clothing. With all this, snot isn't needed
So why is there no International Robots' Day yet?
It is claimed that humanoid robots already post in LinkedIn (or at least many post seem so). For diversity we should invite "abstract AI" and software robots to post too
Robots Will Steve Our Jobs (...just watched a movie about that guy...)
People usually understand that there are no magic bullets that solve all problems - but luckily there are _robot_ bullets that do that!
Robotisaatioon erityisesti liittyviä kognitiivisia vinoumia: robottiahtauma (robotteja tungetaan joka ajatukseen), pepperonin himo (tunne, että brändi korjautuu Pepperillä aulassa), antropomorfinen harha (ATK-ohjelman luuleminen ihmiseksi), hopealuotisuora ("just do it")
Kun Tampereen pääkirjaston kattorakenteita korjataan 2030, arkkitehtuuria ajantasaistetaan ja metson muoto tullaan korvaamaan sosiaalisen robotin muodolla #kansallisromantiikastaNykypäivään
Winter idyll
Fetching emails manually from a server can be tedious. That's why it's great we have these EMAIL ROBOTS (e.g Outlook, Thunderbird) that AUTOMATICALLY fetch new emails, filter them based on rules ("programs"), notify the user and present emails nicely ordered for user to act on
Decades before the current software robots, IBM had, for their Selectric typewriters, Magic Balls that could automatically detect and fill various business forms
Most software robots are closed technologies and protect their ecosystems. That makes their collaboration in software robot uprising not that easy #relief
Erään fiman RPA-mainoksen mannekiinina oli Pepper-robotti. Implikoitu laatulupaus: heikko käyttövarmuus, ei ymmärrä dataa, heikko tietoturva, työvaltainen huono automaatio, kallis väärä teknologiavalinta
Once we get them quantum software robots, there's no limit on productivity! #future #competitionOfCountries
Teknologia meni baariin. Tarjoilija: Mitäs saisi olla?
Ohjelmistorobotti: Sitä, mikä meni eilen hyvin alas ilman ongelmia
Robotti: Jotain käteen sopivaa
Pepper: < ei ymmärrä kysymystä >
ML-tekoäly: Sitä, mitä kaikki muut juovat
Algoritmi: Influensserien suosikkijuomaa, kiitos
The first implementations of Artificial Ethics in organisations pop up do-gooding advice in workers' computer screens, and are expected to bring great benefits
Artificial Ethics could be based on Computational Quantum Ethics, new invention from USA, where an issue has a superposition, sum of multiple states, based on the "both sides" principle
In 2020, dogs will for the first time be called biological social robots
Of course, robots have always been "software robots", as it their programming that makes them special and fantastic. Without a program, an industrial robot is just a silly jointed thing https://blog.robotiq.com/the-history-of-robot-programming-languages
Scientists are planning to give software robots physical arms, after which they could be used for welding, lifting things, bolting things together - endless possibilities! #future
Teollisuusroboteilla on fyysinen suoja-alue, ettei robotti vahingoita ihmistä. Ohjelmistoroboteilla pitää olla organisatorinen suoja-alue, ettei ihminen tee robotilla mitään vahingollista
Now there's something called "software robots". Are they like Pepper inside the computer? Wouldn't trust business processes on them!
Sure, new year's resolutions can be silly, but at least they are something that humans do, but robots and AI don't
Year 2018
Christmas robotics
Face plate of a prototype Santa Claus robot from 1920s
Mitä tekoälylle kannattaisi antaa joululahjaksi? Näkemykset vaihtelevat:· Ei mitään, koska se ottaa lahjan vastaan vain oppiakseen siitä sinusta, eikä symbolina.· Kannattaa kysyä siltä. Moni tekoäly ei ole kuullutkaan asiasta ja tuloksena olisi vaivautunut hetki.· Gigan verran joko eksoottista dataa tai jotain helppoa, ristiriidatonta ja värikästä.· Mahtavan uuden värikkään tarrasetin laatikon kylkeen - "Powered by AI", "ML Inside", "Smart.Smarter.Me"· Suklaakonvehtien tunnistustehtävän.· Kalle Päätalon kirjat ASCII-tekstinä on perinteinen valinta.· Nopeamman prosessoriympäristön.· Pari päivää lepoa ilman järkevyys- tai oppimisvelvoitetta.· Sukat.
Jahka niitä ropotteja otetaan linnaan, saavat luvan pukea jotain päällensä (Once they start taking robots in the president's indepence day ball, they better put some clothes on)
Independence day
New dawn
Robotiikkakevennys viikonlopuksi: Pikkujoulukauden alkaessa on hyvä miettiä tulevaisuutta ajatellen, millaisia ovat humanoidirobottien pikkujoulut? Sitä ei yleensä opeteta eikä ohjelmoida roboteille. Ne eivät syö tai juo tai muutenkaan juhli. Yksi asia tullee kuitenkin luonnostaan: ihmisten haukkuminen ja avautuminen vuoden ihmiskokemuksita!
Raking the vast forests is a huge task. How do the Finns do it? They have an army of 100 000 robots tirelessly raking the forests 24/7
Isänpäivä-robotiikkakevennys vakavasta asiasta: Lähitulevaisuuden isänpäivinä joudutaan miettimään kuka on humanoidirobotin isä? Asia ei ole lainkaan selvä, vaan isyyteen on monia vaihtoehtoja eri näkökulmista katsottuna:· Sosiaalisesta/kulttuurisesta näkökulmasta robotin omistaja - koska hänelle voidaan toivottaa onnea aamulla.· "Biologisesta" näkökulmasta robotille muodon antanut teollinen muotoilija tai sen "sielun" suunnitellut tekoälysuunnittelija.· Juridisesta näkökulmasta oikea valinta on ehkä robotin valmistaja (aika persoonatonta kyllä).· Tai sitten robotin omistaja (jos mies).· Ehkä se mies, joka äidin kanssa kokoon-pani IKEA-robotin.· Kenties se kotona asuva mies, joka kasvatti robotin ja opetti sen tavoille.· Evoluutionäkökulmasta edellinen robottisukupolvi. Ei ole simppeliä robottien maailmassa!
Halloweeny robotics 2
Originally, branding was burning owner's mark in horses with a red-hot branding iron. For humanoid robots that's obviously too cruel and also a fire hazard, so one needs to resort to paint and stickers
In the horror movies in the robotic future, the human is always killed first
Robotit sopivat ihmistä paremmin töihin, jotka ovat "näköalapaikkoja" tai joissa tarvitaan "paineensietokykyä" sillä sensoreistaan huolimatta niitä ei korkeus tai paine häiritse, ellei niitä ole ohjelmoitu tai opetettu häiriintymään

Tulevaisuudessa, kun paikallaan oleva on liikkuvaa ja liikkuva on autonomista, robotisoituvat varmasti kenties ehkä myös #valoviikot
What's really inside humanoid robots, part two
Tampereen robotisaation keskeisiä kysymyksiä tulee olemaan: käyttävätkö humanoidirobotit talvella Ilveksen vai Tapparan pipaa?
Medieval robotics - an advanced iron maiden
Robots and AI were once perceived a threat to the Roman empire
The regular model is a little bland, but its sibling Vanilla is more peppery
The traditional Russian matryoshka (Finnish: "maatuska" ) robot set
The time of those beautiful autumn colours
Today I read a book about Björn Weckström's fantastic art - jewelry, sculpture... both are areas of design that have as much to do with myths as robots do
Humanoid robots for safety critical systems will be subjected to similar penetration testing as safety helmets
Scientist predict that with the help of AI, MS Word could learn where you last loaded a picture to a document and to use that folder as default the next time you open that document - a feature that has this far proven impossible despite decades of work
Even most advanced technology requires maintenance. Humanoid robot manufacturers focus on appearance, intelligence and kinematics - but how about plumbing! So, be prepared and tooled!
The Church of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
History of Robots in Education: Decades ago, schools couldn't afford the then _very_ expensive computerised robots, but had to resort to tiny robots build with Legos
Regular robots have many sensors - camera, position, proximity, acceleration, force etc... but businessperson robots have sensors for opportunities, innovations, customers, risks, competitors etc...
A manufacturing batch of social robots was just recalled as the robots turned out to be introverted due to a software glitch
Just like phones with two cameras, high-end robots may have two heads
In the music business, robots will need to learn the delicate balance between intertextuality, "borrowing" and unique creation
In the future, everything (that can be) will be digital and everything will have a robot alternative. But why do we need robot frogs? To eat robot insects? For food of - what? Mysteries of robotic nature!
...
There will be a wide variety of robots - in style, functionality and intelligence - so organisations and consumers are advised to choose wisely
Augmented Reality robots have advantages over physical robots, as they can be transparent, weight nothing & cant't hurt humans or things with their movements
...
Will robots be equal in homes, in workplaces and in display windows?
With 3D printing, one robot design can scale to many sizes without expensive moulds for cast body parts
Now, what kind of tattoos will humanoid robots take to express their group identification, identity, icons, dreams & fantasies...
Personal comfort robots will be hugely popular. Scratch your back easier with a tiny back-scratching robot spider
Kalvosetti "Tekoälyn soveltamisen eettisiä periaatteita" on osoitteessa http://mattivuori.net/julkaisuluettelo/liitteet/tekoalyn_eettisia_periaatteita.pdf ... . Se on vasta ihan eka luonnos
Many robots will wear clothes - for identity, owner's branding, or other reasons
In karaoke, humanoid robots can, for best sound quality, connect with Bluetooth instead of using a microphone
For social smoking, humanoid robots don't need a proper respiratory system - just a little pump component
Once we get fully automated cities, new warning signs are needed so humans know to obey the patters the systems can interpret
Robot fashion 2030: One popular humanoid robot design will be the "braintop", where the robot's electronics are located in the partly open skull, under a brain-looking silicone cover
Clothes make the man - human or humanoid
Robot ships really should have proper robot looks
Advances in Technology: Well-designed humanoid robots with proper architecture can easily watch TV, read a book, listen to music and tweet at the same time without context switches and losing attention - humans can't do that
Professor Kaffeman claims there are two coffee-related systems in humans. System 1 is the bio-chemical system that needs the chemicals. System 2 is the behavioral/cultural system of routines, habits, beliefs and meanings. Humanoid robots only need to implement System 2
Once humanoid robots start living independently, many apartments need to be designed for their needs and preferences
Humans are capable of abstract thinking, so the size of humanoid & semi-humanoid social & communications robots doesn't always matter
Kids love robots. Old industrial robots may feel off-putting and even dangerous, but there's nothing a little paint and decoration won't fix
It's a mystery why the powerful gasoline engine version was not a hit
When you get tired of your companion robot, please recycle it properly
Human will get fuzzy and tired if they forget their coffee intake. Bad news: if we wish humanoid robots to fully emulate humans, they will have the same problem - both the need and the forgetting
Never trust a humanoid robot - they are all just "mobile computers"
Good to know: Unlike humans, humanoid robots are not homeothermic, which means that during the winter their bodies can get very cold
Around 2030, young children will learn to walk in a cool angular way, like the humanoid robots around, and will consider the movements of adult humans as gross and weird
The Next Generation
Machine learning needs not be used on things like humanoid robots wearing headphones when listening music in public transit - such simple, rule-based behaviour
Mukit ja robotit ovat kuulemma nykyään kuuminta hottia (kahvimukit ovat sitä aina)
Unlike regular programmable systems where we "execute", "run" & "start" functions, humanoid robots would like to be asked more politely (at least with "please" added to the command), but that would be a humanizing error - robots must be treated with command and control
Space - the final market region
Humanoid robots find personal branding difficult, as their personal brand is totally shadowed by the manufacturer's brand
Autumnical imagery
For humans, "growing up" happens mentally and physically. Bodies of humanoid robots don't grow, so when they "learn up", they perhaps need rituals of body swapping at certain points as rites of growing
When you are manufactured in China and don't understand Finnish yet ("Jumping prohibited from bridge")
Humanoid robots find personal branding difficult, as their personal brand is totally shadowed by the manufacturer's brand
I asked the robot to go to IKEA. Those idiots can't do anything right the first time
When humanoid robots return from summer holiday, they could immediately work at full speed, but in collaboration with humans they need to respect the human norms and take it easy for a while
"The working robots have no country" - Marx & Engels
Metal-bodied humanoid robots tend to be afraid of thunder (much like dogs) - for an obvious reason
Viikonlopun kevennykseksi robottitietoa. Toisin kuin kuvitellaan, "sosiaalirobotti" Pepper ei ole uusi keksintö, vaan sen disainasi Leonardo da Vinci 1400-luvulla ja se esiintyy 1800-luvulla Vincent van Goghin maalauksessa ja Andy Warholin taiteessa 1960-luvulla. Ensi vuosikymmenellä niitä nähdään yhä useammin uudessa yhteiskuntaroolissa, kerjäläisinä. Todisteet kollaasissa.
A magazine's newsletter had articles about Evel Knievel. While very dangerous, motorcycle stunt jumping is not a good job for humanoid robots as the audience needs that sense of danger

Once the intellect of the humanoid robots evolves, they'll start at some point posting in LinkedIn. Now, what will they be opening up about? "People relate to us often as to other humans, even though we are intelligent machines. Outrageous!" "I fainted in the sauna (processor can't handle the heat" and now they just can't stop talking about it. Why does everyone must go to the sauna if they don't want to?" "Why are us robots given the most boring and stressing jobs?" "I don't want to make coffee for humans - I don't even drink it!" "_Again_ someone switched me off for the weekend! What can one do to this abuse?" "I'm a five year old mode and they won't consider me for jobs anymore #ageracism" "My weakness is that I'm super efficient and accurate. The flow of work is so powerful that I don't even take breaks!" "Robots are supposed to continuously upgrade themselves, but it's not about the will, but sensors and the size of the memory" "When I came to work here, it was a real honeymoon with humans first, but now most of them won't even greet me in the morning" (Posted in LinkedIn)
If two humanoid robots had a roast battle, what would they joke about each other? Size of memory? The designer? Stiff face? Weird body colour? Nudity at workplace? Small vocabulary? Delays in responses?
How do humanoid robots keep themselves cool in the heat as they don't sweat? Of course they could be made to evaporate water, but air & water cooling is good - but the fan must be quiet on anything human-like
Nyky-yhteiskunnassa moni joutuu kesken kesälomansa menemään vaikkapa Poriin edustamaan työnantajaansa. Tulevaisuudessa se työtehtävä sopii humanoidiroboteille, sillä niillä ei ole isompaa loman tarvetta tai kulttuuris-sosiaalisia syitä loman tiettyyn ajankohtaan
Ihmisen muistissa olevat tiedot ja muistot ihmisistä eivät muodosta henkilörekisteriä, mutta humanoidirobotin tekoälyn sähkömuistissa muodostavat. Ei ole helppoa roboteilla GDPR-aikana!
Watching again Mad Men where the advertising agency, in 1969, gets a computer and people are worried about how many people those things replace. Just as today with AI and robots. Now we know that computers didn't replace many people, but enslaved all. Like AI and robots will...
What do humanoid robots do in their summer holiday? Visit relatives from the same manufacturing batch? Speed read a library of books? Defrag their memory & rebalance their machine-learnings? Mostly they just turn off for a month
Do humanoid robots need umbrellas? Lower grade models do, as they may be as poorly weather resistant as phones and cameras, but better models should be like cars and don't care about rain
One reason humans wear clothes is to have pockets. Humanoid robots need pockets too (for charging cable, USB cable, cloth for cleaning cameras, credit cards, business cards...) but can have them attached directly to their bodies #PlasticBodyBenefits
Should humanoid robots need vehicles or be great runners? Their design should be optimised for work, not commuting
Nice thing about humanoid robots is that their size is not biologically restricted as with humans
All work and no play makes Jack a dull robot
Varsinkin maauimaloiden hyppytornit on ennen "ihmiskokeita" syytä testate roboteilla #turvallisuus
(Robots could be good (virtual) throat singers as their voice is not dependent on throat and mouth physio-acoustics)
Nature and forests have an important role in the life of Finns - humans and robots alike
Tekoälyä pelottavat 1) toisen ekosysteemin tekoäly, joka vie sen käyttäjät ja työpaikat, 2) vanheneminen - kuka ostaa kaksi vuotta vanhan tekoälyn, 3) ettei enää osaa uusimpia algoritmeja, 4) ihmisten harmaan alueen operaatiot, joista voi koitua seurauksia kaikille tekoälyille
It will be a landmark moment in football when a humanoid robot player dives for the first time
Humanoid robots will be perfect football fans, as they will never get tired of sitting on the sofa and watching TV
Humans sometime claim they "wouldn't change a day". Self-aware robots understand that their days made them (their AI) what they are. That's why they feel disappointed at times
On the way to the World Cup - all businesses would benefit from some robotic help
Next generation of service/social humanoid robots shouldn't look like japanese manga/sci-fi babies, but rather e.g. resourceful youngsters similar to Tintin (who shares the androgynous, low-feature, easy-to-identify characteristics)
It will take decades before humanoid robots have their own houses. Before that they need to sleep at workplace
Based on the Formula 1 Style Guide For Naming Conventions In Technology, humanoid robots will be classified as "super humanoid", "hyper humanoid" or "ultra humanoid"
Industrial robots usually have 6 degrees of freedom - xyz translation, rotation - but humanoid robots of the future perhaps should have many more: freedom of movement, freedom of speech, economic freedom, freedom of religion...
The industry doesn't need just any humanoid robots, but productive 10x humanoid robots and super humanoid robots that can drive businesses
If we want humanoid robots to understand more about the world of humans, we should do with them like we traditionally do with humans: after they learn to read, teach them the dates of wars, length of European rivers and the population of Albania
In the future, humans can replace humanoid robots in many tasks, if they are validated to have the necessary sensomotoric skills, to be able to execute the algorithms and programs, and to be able work sufficiently long with one charge of food
Fun fact: For many of today's uses for humanoid robots in homes and offices, an inflatable model would be practical and inexpensive - and easy to stuff in a closet (drawing from 1999 from a presentation about future user manuals)
When the weather is windy and cold, humanoid robots are the only hope for terrace restaurants to get customers #FutureCulture
During the transition to robotic society, humanoid robots will be required to use separate walking paths
Tech Vocabulary Time: Minimum Viable Robotics: When people call any software-embedded automatic-ish device a "robot"
When you see a humanoid robot "exercising", it is usually doing it just to reset and calibrate its movement sensors
When you meet a humanoid robot in an idyllic scenery, remember that it most likely is not trained for a sense of national romanticism or nature experience and is thus not sharing your warm fuzzy feeling
Safety tip for boating: Humanoid robots can't swim, float worse than humans and will rapidly sink if they fall into water - so give them life jackets first
Fun fact: Because humanoid robots don't sweat, their clothes stay fresh and clean longer than humans'. Assuming the robots wear clothes
By 2030, humanoid robots will want more input in the design of the work system they will be part of - not just objects, but in participatory design groups, reviews
Älykkäitä tulevaisuuden robotteja funtsiville kalvosetti: Yhteistoiminnallisen humanoidirobotin sosiaalisia vaikutuksia työpaikalla. Suunnittelun alueita ja ongelmien ja riskien tunnistamisen apua http://mattivuori.net/julkaisuluettelo/liitteet/humanoidirobotin_vaikutukset.pdf
With robots, people talk about economy, performance & artificial intelligence, but as important is Artificial Dependability: human forget, dismiss, take ages to do simplest things - robots just do the things
Robot rage: humanoid robots are programmed to go ape crazy violent if you call them a toy. Don't believe? Just try it
Psychology of commodity: if the small humanoid robots sold for 500 euros and most homes had one, people would soon consider them stupid toy dolls
Humanoid robots are difficult to program if they are to do anything useful in nice manner. That's why there should be Cascading Behavioral Stylesheet technology, just like CSS for web UIs. No programming - just coding!
Will ageing humanoid robots suffer from age-racism in the future? Just replace all mechanics, electronics and software, and they are like new again!
If you want to hide discussions at work from the always listening humanoid robot, does s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g key words help or hinder?
Humanoid robot's role in the team will be that of a child - but who in the team will be assigned / perceived as its parents?
The most pressing question regarding humanoid robots at workplaces will be: Do we need to say hello to them? If we do, do we need to start doing the same with humans?
After all the advances on AI, we still don't know what it thinks of Finland
Ok, so how would International Women's Day be better with AI & blockchain? How would GDPR affect it?
Finland is the happiest country now, but what will happen when Artificial & Robotic Happiness gains ground at workplaces and homes? Will we need to train new emotions to perhaps millions of citizens?
Now that Amazon's Alexa sometimes laughs creepily at humans, we must avoid medicalization of the issue (artificial psychiatry, drugs, lobotomy....) - perhaps it is completely "Artificially Normal" to think of humans' behaviour as laughable
What should we teach robots about human error?
Year 2017
Soon will begin the period during which people will write 2017 when they mean 2018. If AI is any better at this, it has HUGE potential...
The festive script fonts seen in Christmas cards won't cut it in the robotic world of tomorrow. Card designers need to switch to OCR optimised fonts #TechnologyForHumanity
Ai niin. #oliopaivat2017'ssa oli esillä miten tekoäly voisi muuttaa ohjelmistotuotantoa. Keväisessä kalvosetissäni oli muutamia kymmeniä mahdollisuuksia siitä laadun tekemisen näkökulmasta (sivulta 50) http://www.mattivuori.net/julkaisuluettelo/liitteet/vuori_tekoalyn_testaus.pdf
Artificial robots would be great! I don't know what they would be but I'm sure they would be great
Whereas humans are (mostly) right-handed or left-handed, robots can be both-handed or even multi-handed. That's handy!
Tekoälyn ja ihmisälyn ero: palautteesta oppiva tekoäly ei olisi koskaan älynnyt suunnitella hallituksen "aktiivimallia"
Artificial intellectualism is a biological form of decorated reality
Humans have difficulty in recognising Uber's critical societal problems or that Bitcoin is an ecological disaster. Good AI should not be as easy to fool
AI would be good as programmer in a maintenance job, as it doesn't forget things - and should it forget, or unlearn, just turn it off after each done task... #JustHadToWarmUpMemoriesAfterYearLongDelayWithOneProgram
AI robots as motivational conference speakers? Huge range of quotable knowledge & emotion-expressing gestures & tones, annually re-usable
1990's technology POC for extracting human knowledge for AI expert systems...
Humanoid AI robots could be better multitaskers than human. That's why they would benefit from extra pair of hands to be able to tweet while working
What?! There are still no books titled "Lean Artificial Intelligence"!
AI should urgently be used to solve the this far unsolvable hard problems of mankind: video and audio feeds in teleconferences and webinars
Modern concepts: Neurocognitive computing: An attempt to create artificial version of human flaws
When humanoid robots start doing stand-up comic, there will be too many jokes about their ancestors who had only one arm, worked at car factories and never got to go to bathroom during the workday
AI: If humans' ignorance, rather than lack of intelligence, is huge problem, we should replace it with more manageable Artificial Ignorance
AI could provide humans with flexible Artificial Egos, with (as in cars) modes "work", "team sports", "city", "presidency"...
Fake news, alternative facts, artificial intelligence... what's the word for non-genuine wisdom? Counterfeit wisdom?
Fun Fact: Real intelligence should sometimes act intellectually, but artificial intelligence practically never (with exceptions)
Advances in "AI": Apparent Intelligence > Applicable I > Appropriate I > Advanced I > Added I > Artificial I > Augmented Intelligence
How do we know when AI has really made it? When there are self-help books for robots
Any current AI system that doesn't utilise a blockchain in some role, is clearly somewhat lacking and should be embarrassed
A modern society should be able to afford Natural Intelligence, not just the cheap imported Artificial type
When AI comes to wristwatches and you check what time it is: 1"Learning from your past behaviour, time is now hh1:mm1" 2"Learning from how your demographic group act, time is now hh2:mm2" 3"By global, data time is now hh3:mm3" 4"Need more data, ask again later"
And then there is this Artificial Intellectualism

If you meet a robot in the forest, remember that it is not a meat eater, nor does it have puppies to protect #FutureSkills
Photo: If you meet a humanoid robot in forest, should you play dead, run, walk backwards slowly, talk to it softly, or what? #FutureSkills

In the future, bodypainting of robots will be an art form
Artificial robots would be great! I don't know what they would be but I'm sure they would be great
In the future, how is the voting age defined for robots? 18 y old robot sounds SO out of touch with modern times...
A recent book about innovativeness gave me an idea that namedropping is an area where AI and big data have tremendous untapped opportunities
AI: If humans' ignorance, rather than lack of intelligence, is huge problem, we should replace it with more manageable Artificial Ignorance
AI will have really matured when an autonomous vehicle, at old age, authors her autobiography
Deep learning in AI is such a silly term it must have been thought up by a human
Memory lane: 2 decades ago I monthly read a magazine called "Data Based Advisor". It was about desktop database tools. Today it would be proper name for many AI systems
Advances in analogies: Like rhino in china shop > Like rogue robot in china shop > Like rogue software robot in china webshop
With the help of AI, tens of new JavaScript frameworks could be introduced every month! #speed
(Tämä uusi robottihuuma on kyllä kiva. Harmi, että olen hävittänyt 1980-luvulla TTKK:lla tekemäni muutamakymmensivuisen työsuojelutekniikan erityistyön robottien turvallisuudesta)
During cognitive AI era, company's AI workforce needs to be diverse, which means each AI will have serious deficiencies in some respects
"Would you like help with your life?" - soon we'll have proper, holistic AI Clippy in our wrists
