Michael Swan on AGI
3The future is AI!
After a quick talk on the AI for his game Witches, Heroes and Magic, Michael will talk about general AI and what programming might look like in the utopian future.
Predictably, all future programming will be done with learning algorithms. If your program is not learning, then it almost certainly will become obsolete in the future!
Have you thought about:
• Program that can be damaged and still run?
• Programs that contain only one loop. And no functions?
• What does every problem have in common?
• Why are programs combinatorial in nature ?
• What is combinatorial explosion?
• What operators can potentially create all other operators ?
• Writing programs that can run in parallel and not necessarily in order (even run backwards) and without multi-threading issues ?
Michael Swan has a Masters Degree in Creative Media practice specialising in his own brand Artificial General Intelligence algorithms and has worked for 5 years as a combinatorial mathematician on poker machines. He is also the author of Witches, Heroes and Magic available on steam! He will talk on where he thinks the future of programming will be. Don’t worry, it’s not as complex as you might think.
