RE: Steemit Hackathon Day 2 Livestream
Loved your presentation!:) Incredibly interesting everything you talked about. I was especially impressed by the potential you mentioned about AI on the blockchain. Because we have this transparent environment where there is an incredible amount of information. For people it can be overwhelming. For programs it can open totally new possibilities.
There was one question I wanted to ask which some of us talked about and I will throw it out here. Would love to hear if anyone else has thoughts on this also.
I am thinking about the relation between AI and the intelligence of the crowd of people. You talked about something similar when you mentioned swarms. Could you see a kind of hybrid intelligence in the near future? Where programs evolve together with the understanding of people all around the community? What are your thoughts in general on the possibilities of hybrid super intelligences which integrate the best of human and artificial intelligence in combination?
Thanks!
Hybrid intelligence is definitely something that is, and will be happening. By is, I mean that there are several cases of machine intelligence already used in combination with human intellect, for example for marketing and similar, and I think this trend will be increasing in the future. Todays best chess player isn't a computer or a human, it's a human using a chess computer. This "hybrid" can beat pure machines and humans. I'm not sure how this will work in the future, though, but Enin, the startup I'm building, intends to build such a hybrid solution for financial sentiment.
