AI that Pushes Limits of Science

Image
DARPA's AI Exploration Program The Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency DARPA is aiming for an artificial intelligence & machine learning system that enables scientists and researchers to push the limits of science. Full Speed to Beat Global Competitors This DARPA push is on full speed.  They want to establish the feasibility of new AI concepts within 18 months.  The goal is to outpace AI scientific and technology discovery efforts globally. The program is called ASKE or Automating Scientific Knowledge Extraction. Fundamentals of Superpowered AI DARPA wants an AI system that rapidly aggregates scientific data and automatically identifies new data.  The system should automatically verify published scientific results and monitor in real time "fragile economic, political, social and environmental systems undergoing complex events."  The info will be integrated into a machine-curated model that generates top of the line hypotheses.  All to driv

Quantum Opportunity - Quantum Computing

DARPA Goes After Practical, Competitive Uses for Quantum Computing Exponential Computing Power thru Quantum Computing The US Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency DARPA wants to know how quantum computing can help the US surge ahead of technology competitors like China and Russia. Quantum computing uses the laws of quantum mechanics to accomplish complex data operations.  Unlike traditional computers that use bits, it uses qubits and delivers exponential computing power. DARPA Questions and Challenge DARPA specifically wants to know how quantum computing will practically impact AI, physical systems, machine learning, data analytics and enhancing distributed sensing.  This is a leading indicator of the future of technology and innovation as DARPA views it. Leading Edge of Where Quantum Computing is Taking Us - Harbinger of The Future DARPA is asking industry and academics for proposals to research the real possibilities of quantum computing.  There are 4 k

DARPA Pushes "3rd Wave" of AI

Nimble Approach to Beat Global Competition in AI and Technology Development The US Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency DARPA just announced a bold program to accelerate the "3rd wave" of artificial intelligence innovation.  It's going to fund 18 month experiments of potential AI breakthroughs. Super Fast Turnaround To jumpstart this, DARPA is speeding up contracting and funding of innovative concepts to within 3 months of their initial announcement.  The DARPA team will determine the value and the feasibility of the project within 18 months.  The funding awards could be up to $1 million each. DARPA's Goal DARPA is the force behind the creation of the internet, GPS, cloud computing, drones and much more.  It's mission is to provide the US military with overwhelming technological advantages.  The purpose of this quick turnaround AI innovation advancement program is clear.  DARPA wants the US to outpace competing global AI and techno
