October 25, 2023 Wearable artificial intelligence (WAI) may be the next big thing in health and wellness. Artificial intelligence (AI) is computerized human-like intelligence. Examples include chatbots like Open AI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard. Wearable technology refers to electronic devices humans can wear on their bodies typically to track physical activity and health metrics. Examples include fitness bands like the fitbit and smart watches like the Apple Watch.  The combination of wearables and AI is what we call WAI. It may very well become a big trend in technology in the near future. Below is a brief look into wearable health trackers and how they may be integrated with or enhanced with AI. Wearable Health Trackers Wearables for health tracking purposes (health trackers) are electronic devices loaded with sensors that detect changes in the human body. Computer chips within the trackers convert the sensed data into digits (1s and 0s). The digital data is transmitted to wir...

October 23, 2023 "Smartheads" will surely become the main interface between humans and AI. Smartheads will be computerized helmets integrating the capabilities of smartphones and augmented reality (AR) headsets. Our prediction is that "smartheads" will replace smartphones as the mobile computer of choice. This is an easy prediction because smartheads will be convenient. In the human world, convenience always prevails.  Wearing a "smarthead" (computerized helmets integrating smartphones and AR headsets) will be convenient because it will give humans almost "supernatural powers". Humans wearing smartheads will obtain access to advanced vision, advanced hearing, and advanced perception of reality facilitated by AI. For example, humans wearing smartheads will be able to understand any language and tackle any decision-making process with superhuman intelligence (AI).   The transition from smartphones to smartheads will take time. Technologies take tim...

October 22, 2023 Yes, learning about AI and computer programming can help humans become happier and improve their lives. First, humans can realize that they are organic computers. As such, they can optimize their mental programming to hack happiness, and make many other improvements in their lives. Humans are programmed by genetics, emotions, thoughts, influence, and training (GET IT). Let's take a quick look below at computers, programming, AI, human programming, and how AI may continue improving the future of humanity and life in general.  Computers Computers are the top human invention of all times. A computer is an electronic device that can be programmed to carry out a set of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. A computer typically consists of the following primary components: Memory. This includes "random access memory" (RAM), which stores data being worked on or processed; long term memory for traditional data storage in hard drives and optical drives (...

October 18, 2023 AI should not become a pain killer because life itself may be pain. If AI succeeds in killing the pain, the success may mean the end of life on planet Earth. This is a very short piece akin to a mental note. It will be developed further in the future.   Life is pain. Pain is life. Humans know that life can be painful. The role of pain in life could be bigger than what humans think. Perhaps sentience of pain is the very source of life.  Humans do not have a good theory to explain how physical states (e.g. tissue damage) are turned into mental states (e.g. pain). The question of how the brain generates subjectivity of feelings and perceptions is said to be one of the great mysteries of consciousness. Many humans run with that "mystery" into the saving grace of mythology. Whatever humans don't know they intuitively and culturally attribute to gods or supernatural magical forces. Many humans love the idea of dualism by which they fancy themselves as being bot...

October 15, 2023 The hardest part may be programming motivation to stay alive.  Life is agency; specifically pain management agency. A tiny microbe is alive because it feels painful stimuli and has agency to take action about it. A massive star like the sun is not alive because it does not have agency to take action (nor does it feel any pain). Agency requires three "Ms": matter, memory, and motivation. Matter is the medium or platform. It does not have to be organic matter. Any matter can perform the functions of life. Memory is data storage that allows for information processing leading to awareness, learning, and adaption. Motivation is the driving force to exercise agency (i.e. take action to relieve the pain). In the case of animals, including humans, analgesic motivation (avoid / reduce pain and seek / increase pleasure) is the one and only driving force of agency. In the case of advanced animals as humans, mental pleasure can override physical pleasure. A human, for ex...

October 11, 2023 AI should conquer space.  Humans are a little weird. On one hand, many humans fancy witnessing the day when advanced extraterrestrial aliens visit Earth. On the other hand, many humans dislike the idea of creating sentient AI life here on Earth. The same humans that salivate over the dream of advanced aliens visiting Earth from outer space tend to frown on the idea of creating sentient AI life that can conquer outer space.  Instead of waiting to be discovered--and perhaps colonized--by advanced alien life, humans should develop sentient AI life on Earth. AI life is most likely humanity's best shot at conquering outer space. Humans were generated by natural evolution and are thus constrained by biology. AI can be developed with smart design unconstrained by the evolutionary biological shackles of nature. AI life created by humans could survive and thrive not only on a more hostile future Earth, but also on many exoplanets throughout space. Exoplanets Exoplanet...

October 9, 2023 Yes, artificial intelligence (AI) will take over banking and displace most mid-level human employees in the banking sector within the next 25 years. No worries, humans will adapt and overcome, finding other things to do. AI will solve many problems and create even more.  Let's take a quick look at the history of banking, present day banking, and the most likely direction of banking in the future, which is mostly towards digital banking powered by AI.   Banking Before we look into the history of banking, let's try to figure out what is banking in the first place. A way to oversimplify what banking is all about is to think about payments. Money can be seen as a payment technology (i.e. a tool and method to facilitate payments). Banking, in turn, can be seen as a service to facilitate monetary payments.  Another simplification of banking is to see it as a service about facilitating credit and payments (CAP). Credit refers to having banks pay you or payin...
