Innovations: Elon Musk: With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon.
Google Inc is expanding its artificial intelligence initiative, hiring more than half a dozen leading academics and experts in the field and announcing a partnership with Oxford University to "accelerate" its efforts.
Google will make a "substantial contribution" to establish a research partnership with Oxford's computer science and engineering departments, the company said on Thursday regarding its work to develop the intelligence of machines and software, often to emulate human-like intelligence.
Google did not provide any financial details about the partnership, saying only in a post on its blog that it will include a program of student internships and a series of joint lectures and workshops "to share knowledge and expertise."
Google, which is based in Mountain View, California, is building up its artificial intelligence capabilities as it strives to maintain its dominance in the Internet search market and to develop new products such as robotics and self-driving cars. In January Google acquired artificial intelligence company Deep Mind for $400 million according to media reports.
The new hires will be joining Google's Deep Mind team, including three artificial intelligence experts whose work has focused on improving computer visual recognition systems. Among that team is Oxford Professor Andrew Zisserman, a three-time winner of the Marr Prize for computer vision.
The four founders of Dark Blue Labs will also be joining Google where they will be will be leading efforts to help machines "better understand what users are saying to them."
Google said that three of the professors will hold joint appointments at Oxford, continuing to work part time at the university.

Google partners with Oxford University to accelerate artificial intelligence efforts
I am a huge fan of artificial intelligence (AI). After all, it is the technology that might eventually makemy dream of a realistic robot girlfriend a reality. Sure, many people are wary of this technology, claiming it could lead to machines becoming self-aware and destroying humanity. However, those people are simply paranoid conspiracy theorists (who've watched the Terminator movies too often). AI is something that shouldimprove technology and help humanity overall.
Google is a very forward-thinking company, often on the forefront of technology and ideas. Today, the search-giant announces that its DeepMind division is partnering with the renowned Oxford University for artificial intelligence research.
"Google DeepMind will be working with two of Oxfords cutting edge Artificial Intelligence research teams. Prof Nando de Freitas, Prof Phil Blunsom, Dr Edward Grefenstette and Dr Karl Moritz Hermann, who teamed up earlier this year to co-found Dark Blue Labs, are four world leading experts in the use of deep learning for natural language understanding. They will be spearheading efforts to enable machines to better understand what users are saying to them", saysDemis Hassabis, co-founder of DeepMind and Vice President of Engineering at Google.
Hassabis further explains, "also joining the DeepMind team will be Dr Karen Simonyan, Max Jaderberg and Prof Andrew Zisserman, one of the worlds foremost experts on computer vision systems, a Fellow of the Royal Society, and the only person to have been awarded the prestigious Marr Prize three times. As co-founders of Vision Factory, their aim was to improve visual recognition systems using deep learning. Dr Simonyan and Prof Zisserman developed one of the winning systems at the recent 2014 ImageNet competition, which is regarded as the most competitive and prestigious image recognition contest in the world".
In other words, Google is assembling a team of smart people to become something of a nerdy Justice League. The search giant will be the money behind the minds, as something of a financier. Of course, money aside, Google has many bright minds in-house that will surely contribute to this artificial intelligence think-tank.
Hopefully the team will put some focuson robot girlfriends, but if not, what types of projects would you like to see created as a result of this relationship? Tell me in the comments.

The company and venerable university will work together to advance the field of machine learning.
The skyline of Oxford University. Oxford
Google and Oxford University have formed a partnership to accelerate research on artificial intelligence.
The partnership will focus specifically on the fields of image recognition and natural language, Demis Hassabis, vice president of engineering at Google, said Thursday on the Google Europe Blog.
Hassabis is also the co-founder of DeepMind, a UK-based company that Google acquired in January. Little has been made public about DeepMind aside from its specialization in algorithms and machine-based learning protocols for e-commerce software, simulations and games.
The DeepMind team will be the group working specifically with two of Oxford's artificial intelligence groups. As part of the partnership, Google has also hired seven co-founders of the two artificial-intelligence groups, which had also formed startups.
Oxford professors Nando de Freitas and Phil Blunsom, as well as Edward Grefenstette and Karl Moritz Hermann, co-founded Dark Blue Labs last year and are experts in the "use of deep learning for natural language understanding." The specialists will focus on "enabling machines to better understand what users are saying to them."
Karen Simonyan, Max Jaderberg and Oxford Professor Andrew Zisserman are the co-founders of Vision Factory, which focuses on improving visual recognition systems using deep learning.
The three professors will continue to work at Oxford. As part of the collaboration, Google will make a "substantial" donation to establish a research partnership with the Computer Science Department and the Engineering Department at Oxford, including student internships, joint lectures and workshops.
"We are thrilled to welcome these extremely talented machine learning researchers to the Google DeepMind team and are excited about the potential impact of the advances their research will bring," Hassabis said.

Google, Oxford University team up on artificial intelligence
Google, the search company that's investing heavily in robotics, is teaming with Oxford University researchers to work on artificial intelligence.
Google, the search company that's investing heavily in robotics, is teaming with Oxford University researchers to work on artificial intelligence.
In January, Google bought the London-based artificial intelligence company DeepMind. Now the Google DeepMind group will work with two of Oxford's artificial intelligence (AI) research teams.
The teams will work on image recognition and natural language understanding, according to Demis Hassabis, co-founder of DeepMind and vice president of engineering at Google, in a blog post.
Zeus Kerravala, an analyst with ZK Research, called the collaboration a smart move since AI technology could boost Google Maps, search and Google+, the company's social networking service.
"AI can be used to make applications more predictive, as well as make robots smarter," he said. "Well, it's most directly about robotics but the intelligence can be ported to other applications. It could help anticipate user needs. AI could help apps figure out what users might do based on their past actions."
Member of the university's two research teams, have each started their own companies. Dark Blue Labs involves research on how to enable machines to better understand what users are saying to them. Vision Factory is working on how to use deep learning to build visual recognition systems.
Google has hired the seven professors behind these two companies, though the researchers will continue to work part-time at Oxford.
The company also will be making what it calls a "substantial contribution" to establish a research partnership with the university's computer science and engineering departments. A specific donation was not announced.
Google'a interest in robotics is relatively new.

The field of application of artificial intelligence (AI) is widening, and looks set to encompass smartphones in the near future. The phones operating system will then be able to work rather like nerve cells do, and your device will be capable of positively identifying both categories of objects and individual human faces.
Hollywood movie clichs apart, substantial progress is actually starting to be made in the field of artificial intelligence, due to the unflagging enthusiasm of academic institutions on the one hand and commercial companies on the other: major technology companies are working in partnership with university research laboratories to find ways of integrating AI into devices used by the general public. Meanwhile, in addition to the machine-learning projects already underway at the Google X lab, directed by the Groups co-founder Sergei Brin, the Mountain View giant recently acquired Deepmind, a company specialising in AI. The UK-based startup, which has developed software that learns by combining machine-learning with neuroscience techniques, moved into the Google fold in January. Moreover, research being carried out at wireless telecommunications products and services company Qualcomm should enable this so-called deep learning technology to be incorporated into our smartphones in the near future.
Qualcomm, which makes electronic chips for smartphones, is aiming to include AI as standard functionality in mobile devices in the coming years. The companys researchers are in the process of developing an application which is able to identify different types of scenery or background in a photo cityscape, landscape, sunset, close-up, etc using image recognition techniques and so optimise the photo setting on that basis. Even more impressive is the claim made by Qualcomms head of software research, Charles Bergan, during a conference at MIT in September that maybe the app will detect that its a soccer game in progress and look for that moment when the ball is just lifting off. However, at the moment AI technology is being directed first and foremost towards human face recognition. A face-recognition app which Bergan demonstrated at the MIT gatheringsucceeded in identifying his face despite reportedly having being trained to recognise his features using only a short, shaky, and poorly lit video of his face. Unsurprisingly, image recognition is very much in demand from smartphone manufacturers. Recently Google tested out deep learning techniques on 10 million images taken from YouTube videos. The results were twice as good as any of the image recognition software previously used and the technology was for example able to categorise several different cats as all being cats.
The thrust of deep learning technology, which was one of ten breakthrough technologies for 2013 listed by MIT experts, is basically to simulate the activity of the neurons in the neocortex of our brains. This zone, which is located in the external layer of the cerebral hemispheres, is involved in spatial representation and language functions, and more widely in perception and reaction. In fact deep learning is not particularly new. In the 1980s Professor Kunihiko Fukushima, a Japanese pioneer in the field of neural networks, invented an artificial neural network, which he called the neocognitron, that has a hierarchical multilayered architecture and acquires the ability to recognise visual patterns through learning. Thirty years on, commercial companies are now starting to get interested in the technology with a view to predictive data analysis. Ersatz Labs, a San Francisco-based startup, runs a paid-for platform for creating tailored algorithms that help companies to analyse their data more meaningfully. Moreover recent advances in computational power have been driving progress in the field. High-powered computer chips such as IBMs recently-unveiled TrueNorth have enabled progress in image and language recognition, two key features that look set to make our smartphones even smarter.

Infosys Ltd. (INFO)s new chief executive officer is looking to acquire talent and technology as he tries to push Indias second-largest software services company into artificial intelligence -- helping customers automate jobs currently done by people.
Vishal Sikka, who took over on Aug. 1, said he wants Infosys to focus on design and automation to help bolster sales growth. That push may require some deals to add people and technology related to artificial intelligence and collaborative software companies, he said. Still, the majority of the transformation will be driven by retraining the companys more than 160,000 employees over the next two years, he said.
We are not interested in acquiring yesterdays technology or acquiring growth, Sikka said in an interview at Bloombergs New York headquarters. But we want to bring in talent, we want to bring in skills, we want to bring in technology that will accelerate our ambition.
To make this push without cutting jobs, Sikka is looking to the Industrial Revolution for inspiration. The move to automation wont hinder job growth, he said, comparing it to technological advancements of the 19th century. Sikka plans to require training for his employees because they need to adjust to a technology world more reliant on design.

Sikkas push for expansion and next technologies follows Infosys reporting quarterly sales growth that was the slowest in more than four years. He became the first non-founder CEO at Infosys after working for 12 years at SAP AG.
If Sikka doesnt try to bring in new strategies and technology, Infosys will just become a sweat shop, said U.R. Bhat, a Mumbai-based director at Dalton Capital, a unit of U.K.- based Dalton Strategic Partnership LLP that has $2 billion in assets. Infosys has to raise the bar and artificial intelligence is one way to go.

'People may find that their automated collaborators are more reliable than their human ones down the corridor'
The last decade has seen dramatic changes in the way people work, and this pace of change will only get faster.
Since the introduction of the computer, technology has shaped the way people use information from the way they receive it, to how they consume it and what devices they use to access it.
Of course, technology will continue to evolve and there will be new innovations, but the next ten years are going to be different.
As life becomes more complicated, the way people use information to do their work will become simpler.
>See also:The realities of artificial intelligence: Could Her actually happen?
Instead of being a distraction, technology is going to help people; it will be their friend in creating and consuming information, and make the way they work together more natural.
Its hard to accurately predict where well be in ten years. Bill Gates said: We always over-estimate the change that what will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. But when trying to talk accurately about technological change over a decade, it can sound more like fiction than fact.
According to Moore's law, in ten years time computing will be about 64 times more powerful,storage capacity will be about double that, and network capacity probably about 50 times greater than today. So its safe to say that one way or another, things are going to be very different.
