Personal Digital Twins, as I envisage them, have the power to transform our progress in Artificial Intelligence into Intelligence Augmentation (IA). This is a very bold claim but I am not alone. I took the graphic from an interesting, very forward looking, article discussing education in 2110. Of course talking …

We have artificial intelligence and it keeps growing in capability and breath. It will reach a point (through basic extrapolation) where the AI we are creating, and using, will match human capabilities: AGI – Artificial General Intelligence. There are already areas where current AI matches human (expert) capabilities and even …

Artificial General Intelligence Artificial General Intelligence -AGI-, as the name suggest, is the capability of a machine (computer, software, robots) to display the same latitude of intelligence and the same depth (level of complexity) that an average human can display. Today we have several entities with embedded artificial intelligence that …
