Корпорация Tatung Company, основанная в 1918 году как Xie Zhi Business Enterprise и существующая поныне, в 1984 году выпустила добротный для своего времени компьютер Tatung Einstein TC-01, а на следующий год усиленный Tatung Einstein 256.

Мо Гаудат, бывший директор бизнес развития Google X, говорит, что искусственный интеллект уже управляет вашим вниманием. Ведь именно алгоритмы порекомендовали вам этот текст. Мы стоим на пороге эпохи, где безработица в отдельных секторах достигнет 50%, а капитализм в его нынешнем виде рухнет. Но главная проблема не в технологии, а в том, что суперинтеллект появляется в момент, когда человеческая мораль находится на историческом минимуме. Читать далее Read more ›
