What are AI, AGI, and ASI? And the positive impact of AI

Understanding artificial intelligence (AI) involves more than just recognizing lines of code or scripts; it encompasses developing algorithms and models capable of learning from data and making predictions or decisions based on what they’ve learned. To truly grasp the distinctions between the different types of AI, we must look at their capabilities and potential impact on society.

To simplify, we can categorize these types of AI by assigning a power level from 1 to 3, with 1 being the least powerful and 3 being the most powerful. Let’s explore these categories:

1. Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI)

Also known as Narrow AI or Weak AI, ANI is the most common form of AI we encounter today. It is designed to perform a specific task or a narrow range of tasks. Examples include virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, recommendation systems on Netflix, and image recognition software. ANI operates under a limited set of constraints and can’t perform tasks outside its specific domain. Despite its limitations, ANI has proven to be incredibly useful in automating repetitive tasks, providing insights through data analysis, and enhancing user experiences across various applications.

2. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

Referred to as Strong AI, AGI represents the next level of AI development. Unlike ANI, AGI can understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks, similar to human intelligence. It can reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, and learn from experiences. While AGI remains a theoretical concept as of now, achieving it would mean creating machines capable of performing any intellectual task that a human can. This breakthrough could revolutionize numerous fields, including healthcare, education, and science, by providing more adaptive and comprehensive solutions.

3. Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI)

ASI surpasses human intelligence and capabilities in all aspects. It represents a level of intelligence far beyond our current understanding, where machines could outthink, outperform, and outmaneuver humans. ASI could lead to unprecedented advancements in technology and society. However, it also raises significant ethical and safety concerns. Ensuring ASI is developed and used responsibly is crucial to preventing unintended consequences that could arise from such a powerful form of intelligence.

The Positive Impact of AI

When regulated and guided by ethical principles, AI has the potential to benefit humanity significantly. Here are a few ways AI can help us become better:

• Healthcare: AI can assist in diagnosing diseases, personalizing treatment plans, and even predicting health issues before they become severe. This can lead to improved patient outcomes and more efficient healthcare systems.

• Education: Personalized learning experiences powered by AI can cater to individual student needs, helping them learn at their own pace and in ways that suit their unique styles.

• Environment: AI can play a crucial role in monitoring and managing environmental changes, optimizing energy use, and developing sustainable practices to combat climate change.

• Economy: AI can drive innovation, create new industries, and enhance productivity by automating mundane tasks and providing data-driven insights for better decision-making.

In conclusion, while AI, AGI, and ASI represent different levels of technological advancement, their potential to transform our world is immense. By understanding their distinctions and ensuring proper regulation, we can harness the power of AI to create a brighter future for all.

Language Models and AI Safety: Still Worrying

Previously, I have explained how modern "AI" research has painted itself into a corner, inventing the science fiction rogue AI scenario where a system is smarter than its guardrails, but can easily outwitted by humans.

Two recent examples have confirmed my hunch about AI safety of generative AI. In one well-circulated case, somebody generated a picture of an "ethnically ambiguous Homer Simpson", and in another, somebody created a picture of "baby, female, hispanic".

These incidents show that generative AI still filters prompts and outputs, instead of A) ensuring the correct behaviour during training/fine-tuning, B) manually generating, re-labelling, or pruning the training data, C) directly modifying the learned weights to affect outputs.

In general, it is not surprising that big corporations like Google and Microsoft and non-profits like OpenAI are prioritising racist language or racial composition of characters in generated images over abuse of LLMs or generative art for nefarious purposes, content farms, spam, captcha solving, or impersonation. Somebody with enough criminal energy to use ChatGPT to automatically impersonate your grandma based on your message history after he hacked the phones of tens of thousands of grandmas will be blamed for his acts. Somebody who unintentionally generates a racist picture based on an ambiguous prompt will blame the developers of the software if he's offended. Scammers could have enough money and incentives to run the models on their own machine anyway, where corporations have little recourse.

There is precedent for this. Word2vec, published in 2013, was called a "sexist algorithm" in attention-grabbing headlines, even though the bodies of such articles usually conceded that the word2vec embedding just reproduced patterns inherent in the training data: Obviously word2vec does not have any built-in gender biases, it just departs from the dictionary definitions of words like "doctor" and "nurse" and learns gendered connotations because in the training corpus doctors are more often men, and nurses are more often women. Now even that last explanation is oversimplified. The difference between "man" and "woman" is not quite the same as the difference between "male" and "female", or between "doctor" and "nurse". In the English language, "man" can mean "male person" or "human person", and "nurse" can mean "feeding a baby milk from your breast" or a kind of skilled health care worker who works under the direction and supervision of a licensed physician. Arguably, the word2vec algorithm picked up on properties of the word "nurse" that are part of the meaning of the word (at least one meaning, according tot he dictionary), not properties that are contingent on our sexist world.

I don't want to come down against "political correctness" here. I think it's good if ChatGPT doesn't tell a girl that girls can't be doctors. You have to understand that not accidentally saying something sexist or racist is a big deal, or at least Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and OpenAI all think so. OpenAI are responding to a huge incentive when they add snippets like "ethnically ambiguous" to DALL-E 3 prompts.

If this is so important, why are they re-writing prompts, then? Why are they not doing A, B, or C? Back in the days of word2vec, there was a simple but effective solution to automatically identify gendered components in the learned embedding, and zero out the difference. It's so simple you'll probably kick yourself reading it because you could have published that paper yourself without understanding how word2vec works.

I can only conclude from the behaviour of systems like DALL-E 3 that they are either using simple prompt re-writing (or a more sophisticated approach that behaves just as prompt rewriting would, and performs as badly) because prompt re-writing is the best thing they can come up with. Transformers are complex, and inscrutable. You can't just reach in there, isolate a concept like "human person", and rebalance the composition.

The bitter lesson tells us that big amorphous approaches to AI perform better and scale better than manually written expert systems, ontologies, or description logics. More unsupervised data beats less but carefully labelled data. Even when the developers of these systems have a big incentive not to reproduce a certain pattern from the data, they can't fix such a problem at the root. Their solution is instead to use a simple natural language processing system, a dumb system they can understand, and wrap it around the smart but inscrutable transformer-based language model and image generator.

What does that mean for "sleeper agent AI"? You can't really trust a model that somebody else has trained, but can you even trust a model you have trained, if you haven't carefully reviewed all the input data? Even OpenAI can't trust their own models.

Shepherd- Basically, the pioneer. He set the bar. He gets props being the first one tbh Probably fought in a major war in his time and just had to solve a lot of issues with fighting... very tiring. I don't want to go into detail about a lot of 'physical' acts such as battles and fights, those are just probs obvious.

Marcello- Extended Scientific Research and revolutionised it in his time. Probablay made at least one scientific discovery.

Hadar- Reinstated diplomatic solutions and stopped a lot of issues the island was having through diplomacy. Something like that. Also improved health care and started to touch on many social and political issues

Rhett- Mental Health awareness, Anti-bullying for children and increasing the quality of children's services to protect them.

Coal- LGBT+ support and fighting for rights for the people.

Johnathan- Equality, LGBT+ Rights, Workers Rights and a lot of social issues

Morgan- Revolutionised Research on Chaos Energy and improved it's study of i. Also was an advocate for equal rights, as well as a lot of her other family but her becoming the first female guardian was the biggest reason she was known for it despite it not being her priority.

Chase- Worked to improve the education system, advocating for neurodivergent youth and people in general. Also advocated for trans folks and even got the island more well-known in the athletic world by going to an off-island international sports event with other angel island athletes.

Theodore- Mostly advocated for children getting better care and protection when abused or endangered, donated to improve hospitals and prisons and tried to improve on diplomatic solutions and was the most well-known for visiting hospitals occasionally to do origami and music with the patients, the visits increased more so after his trauma.

Seth- Extended communications outside of island with other regions further and also introduced more cultures to the island as well as showing off theirs with other places.

Sorrel- Improving medical practice, especially for trans people but in general wanting to improve medical practice. Also stepped in to improve the environment on their island, trying to make lifestyle more environmentally friendly and organic solutions and protect endangered plant life.

Tiberius- Worked on improving mechanical workings and engineering also worked to improve transportation on the island to make it more efficient, both in cars and also public transportation to make travelling through the island smooth and not try and destroy all of it for the sake of 'roads'.

Journey- Improved International agreements with the island and even got new ones due to her going off island much more than any other guardian, as well as improved international trading to and from the island so they got a lot more imported goods and could do international trades smoothly. Also stood for equal rights, but took it a step further but discussing and advocating the issues all species, sexes and genders face.

Cedar- not an official guardian but did a lot of volunteer work and went off island to assist in many troubled cities, countries and islands. Also advocated a lot about unknown health issues such as his.

Salem- advocate for animal rights, worked to improve animal protection, trying to protect endangered and native species. Also worked to improve the livestock industry and making It more sustainable for the island.

Lance- Technological and software developments and Inventions that are unique to Angel Island. Well as adding even more technological aide to angel island and also increased awareness on internet usage and safety. Also advocated many physical and mental health causes, especially ones that were close to him.

Knuckles has a lot to live up to huh? no pressure buddy... fr tho the family tries to indicate so much to the newbie to please dont' feel pressured just do what you feel you want/need to do to improve the island the best way you think possible.

EDIT: should also give hounrable mention to Evangeline, while she was not a guardian. She did plant the seeds for the guardian concept (despite them being much more different then what was made of the idea) as well as her engineering developments/ideas and political stance still being known, used and looked upon highly to this day.

What are the latest warehouse automation technologies?

Gone are the days of manual labour and static, inefficient operations. Today, we stand at the forefront of a revolution driven by the latest warehouse automation technologies. These innovations reshape how businesses handle inventory, fulfil orders, and optimize supply chains.

From autonomous robots and artificial intelligence to the Internet of Things (IoT) and advanced data analytics, we'll explore how these technologies enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure seamless operations in modern warehouses.

1-Robotic Process Automation (RPA): RPA involves using software robots to automate repetitive tasks like data entry, order processing, and inventory tracking. The robots interact with various systems and applications to streamline workflows.

2-Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs): Robotic vehicles called AMRs navigate and operate in warehouses without fixed infrastructure, such as conveyor belts or tracks. They perform tasks like picking, packing, and transporting goods.

3-Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs): AGVs are similar to AMRs but typically follow fixed paths or routes guided by physical markers or magnetic tape. They are commonly used for material transport in warehouses and distribution centres.

4-Goods-to-Person Systems: This approach involves bringing the items to the workers rather than having workers travel throughout the warehouse to pick items. Automated systems retrieve and deliver goods to a workstation, reducing walking time and improving efficiency.

5-Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS): AS/RS systems use robotics to store and retrieve items from racks or shelves automatically. These systems can significantly increase storage density and optimize space utilization.

6-Collaborative Robots (Cobots): Cobots are designed to work alongside human workers. They can assist with tasks like picking, packing and sorting, enhancing efficiency and safety.

7-Warehouse Management Systems (WMS): While not a physical automation technology, modern WMS software uses advanced algorithms and AI to optimize inventory management, order fulfilment, and warehouse processes.

8-Vision Systems and Machine Learning: Computer vision technology combined with machine learning can be utilized for tasks such as object recognition, inventory movement tracking, and quality control.

9-IoT and Sensor Networks: Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors collect real-time data on inventory levels, environmental conditions, equipment health, and more, enabling better decision-making and predictive maintenance.

10-Voice and Wearable Technologies: Wearable devices and voice-guided picking systems can provide workers with real-time information and instructions, improving accuracy and efficiency.11-Automated Packaging Solutions: These systems automate the packaging process by selecting the appropriate box size, sealing packages, and applying labels, reducing manual labour and ensuring consistent packaging quality.

Enterprise Mobility Management ensures that the data of an organisation or business on an employee’s mobile device remain under robust security. This holds true irrespective of whether the mobile device is employee-owned or corporate-owned.

EMM solutions have an array of services under them that are designed to protect an organisation’s intellectual property and customer PII (Personally Identifiable Information). This helps secure the data and they are integrated with other IT applications and systems in order to deliver numerous business functionalities.

EMM solutions can be different for different organisations, depending on their requirement. While some solutions focus on securing specific applications, other solutions can completely secure devices. The latter type can lock down employee devices, restricting installation of applications, or uninstall applications and data in the event a device is lost or gets stolen.

From focusing solely on mobile devices, EMM has evolved to cater to mobility over a wider range of networks and devices, including macOS, Windows, etc. It has brought in access management and enhanced user experience for users of mobile devices and applications.

At a time when the global economy relies heavily on mobile devices, choosing the right EMM can be critical, especially since not all Enterprise Mobility Management solutions are created equal. A few years ago, businesses were all about Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions to keep their devices safe. But as the capabilities of a mobile device expanded, and as applications and mobile content started pushing the boundaries, EMM solutions began to take center stage.

If you have an efficient EMM, it gives you or your business significant and critical control of all your mobile computing assets. It doesn’t matter whether you have one, ten, or hundred and thousands of devices, you can lord over the entire device fleet without hassle. It provides the IT admins and mobile workforce with the required assets to increase worker productivity while minimal downtime.

𝐄𝐌𝐌 & 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭

An effective remote management system can help you keep your devices up to date, by remotely updating firmware, software, and security patches. This ensures that your mobile devices are not taken out of the workforce circle, causing unnecessary interruptions.

Additionally, through remote management, one can also guide and teach users how to operate and navigate a specific application or device in the field. By using analytics, you can monitor the status and health of the devices, like battery status or operational status, that are employed in the field.

Another benefit of this system is the ability to track devices and know their location. Moreover, with remote management, you can choose to time updates for the device, thus ensuring minimal interference during work hours.

𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭

A good EMM solution has the ability to deploy devices quickly and seamlessly. This means the device can be up and running with minimal effort from IT admins and users.

When a device is first switched on, it connects to the internet through Wi-Fi or cellular network and immediately checks to see if it has been assigned its respective enterprise configuration. If the device detects that it has an assigned configuration, then it pulls down the details and enrols according to the given instructions. While this process previously took hours, now with a robust EMM solution in tow, the entire process gets over in minutes.

𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐭

A good EMM solution can offer prime security features that protect the individual’s or business’s data. For instance, a device can be configured to be in kiosk mode only, which ensures that users can access only those applications that are authorised and not any other programs that may cause issues.

This also allows for improved personal safety, especially in moving vehicles. Restricting the usage of the device and applications prevents distractions and improves road safety.

𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲, 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, & 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲

A business requires various levels of compatibility and support. A good EMM solution provider, like Tabnova, provides a comprehensive and dedicated support package.

Our system works well with most mobile computing vendors and so our tried and tested solutions lead to deeper understanding and working partnerships than most others. This capability gives us the space to deliver any special requirement you may have for your business at an affordable and speedier rate.
