large groups of people are smarter than an elite few, no matter how brilliant—better at solving problems, fostering innovation, coming to wise decisions, even predicting the future
The field of intelligence has had its Jekyll and Hyde sides for me personally, which is why I entered the field in the first place. I became interested in intelligence when, as an elementary-school student, I did poorly on IQ tests. In fact, I did so poorly that in sixth grade I was sent back to a fifth-grade classroom to retake the fifth-grade intelligence test. In a sense, my professional career has been an attempt to understand and come to terms with my own early failures on these tests!
A nice statistics ahowing how any state where the average iq was above 100 voted for Kerry, and Avery state where average iq was below 99 voted for Bush.
Even if a computer seems to be intelligent and can answer most questions as well as an intelligent, self-aware, human being, it will not really have a continuum of awareness, it will not really be aware of what it seems to "think" or "know," it will not h
Gordon's "journalism" here is useless as a source of information, but it does offer a glimpse into what the Bush Administration wants the public to ponder as it methodically constructs a pretext for attacking Iran. Gordon's article consists of thirty-four
To profit in today’s market, small manufacturers must be efficient and agile to minimise cost and to meet variable market demand. This paper discusses an envisaged Semantic, Ambient, Generic and Extensible framework (SAGE) focused on the manufacturing environment. SAGE is based on the ambient intelligence philosophy which means it is focused on the human actor with the aim of aiding them to optimise their companies manufacturing processes. In order to achieve this goal SAGE combines several technologies: semantic reasoning, multi-modal communication and context-aware technologies within a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). SAGE provides the manager with intuitive access to the real-time data describing the status of the shop floor environment and the ability to automate a response. Two manufacturing processes are targeted for systemic innovation: shop floor control and machine maintenance.

(mobile) microblogging offers great possibilities for advertising (includes a good example) [--> but we will need business intelligence and data mining technology to take the advance]
Business Process Management (BPM) und Business Rules Management (BRM) zusammen in einer service-orientierten Architektur (SOA) sind die methodischen und technischen Voraussetzungen, um Geschäftsprozesse zu industrialisieren und agil zu sein. BPM schafft die Automatisierung und Standardisierung von Geschäftsprozessen, BRM die Standardisierung und Transparenz von Management-Politiken und -Prinzipien. Und eine SOA bringt die Service-Orientierung, die uns erlaubt zwischen spezifischen Logiken einzelner Prozesse und prozessübergreifenden Logiken gebündelter Kompetenzen und Dienstleistungen sauber zu trennen. Das schafft Agilität zusammen mit Industrialisierung.

"Amazon Mechanical Turk is a marketplace for work that requires human intelligence. The Mechanical Turk web service enables companies to programmatically access this marketplace and a diverse, on-demand workforce. Developers can leverage this service to build human intelligence directly into their applications."

In a section on ethical and legal issues arising from deploying AI, the [UK parliamentary ]committee points to decision-making transparency as one of the core challenges, noting that it is “currently rare” for AI systems to be set up to provide a reason for reaching a particular decision. So, in other words, AI systems are not typically being built to show their workings — which therefore makes extracting a rationale for an AI-powered decision problematic.
by By KATE CRAWFORDJUNE 25, 2016 "...the very real problems with artificial intelligence today, which may already be exacerbating inequality in the workplace, at home and in our legal and judicial systems. Sexism, racism and other forms of discrimination are being built into the machine-learning algorithms that underlie the technology behind many “intelligent” systems that shape how we are categorized and advertised to."
btw, "intelligence" (as in "CIA") is not intelligence, it's just surveillance, repression and warfare..

Today, algorithms decide who should get a job, which part of a city needs to be developed, who should get into a college, and in the case of a crime, what should be the sentence. It is not super intelligence of robots that is the threat to life as we know it, but machines taking over thousands decisions that are critical to us and deciding social outcomes.

THE RACE BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND DATA IN MEDICINE
Researchers, doctors and biologists benefit from the massive amount of available information as health data becomes digitized. But it also becomes harder and harder for human brains to uncover the complexity and extract insights. Data is generated at a much faster pace than knowledge. This is THE scientific challenge. We need to create the tools to help human collective intelligence extract knowledge from this influx of data. Parts of these technologies already exist, parts need to be invented. OWKIN creates AI technologies to advance knowledge and discover the medicine of tomorrow.

Edward O. Wilson and sociobiology
"He rejected claims for a genetic basis of hierarchy and downplayed IQ, a fetish of the right, as ‘only one subset of … intelligence’. In an interview with the New York Times, he explained, ‘I see maybe 10 percent of human behaviour as genetic and 90 percent environmental’. "
"Wilson wrote copiously and passionately on the threat of extinction caused by the destruction of ecosystems, including a stint editing the journal BioDiversity in 1988. Against ‘spurious’ claims that humanity was merely acting as another ‘Darwinian agent’ by causing species’ extinction, he noted that the ‘rate of extinction is now about 400 times that recorded through recent geological time and is accelerating rapidly’."
Obvious examples of Central Intelligence Agency covert action abroad are difficult to identify today, save for occasional acknowledged calamities, such as the long-running $1 billion effort to overthrow the government of Syria, via funding, training and arming barbarous jihadist groups.

A key component of a company's IT framework is a business intelligence (BI) system. Traditional BI systems were designed for senior management and business analysts to report on, analyze and optimize business operations to reduce costs and increase revenues. Organizations use BI for strategic and tactical decision making where the decision-making cycle may span a time period of several weeks or months. Competitive pressures coming from a very dynamic business environment are forcing companies to react faster to changing business conditions and customer requirements. As a result, there is now a need to use BI to help drive and optimize business operations on a daily basis, and, in some cases, even for intraday decision making. This type of BI is called operational business intelligence and real-time business intelligence and it is used not only by senior management and analysts (as in traditional BI) but also by line of business managers and operational users. In other words this is BI for everyone.
Embedded operational analytics help applications and business users take close to real-time action. However, there is another class of applications where even close to real-time analytics are not
sufficient.

TED Talk July 2010. (362,593 Views) Plants behave in some oddly intelligent ways: fighting predators, maximizing food opportunities ... But can we think of them as actually having a form of intelligence of their own? Italian botanist Stefano Mancuso presents intriguing evidence. Stefano Mancuso is a founder of the study of plant neurobiology, which explores signaling and communication at all levels of biological organization, from genetics to molecules, cells and ecological communities.
