The Singularity Simplified ( In about a 100 words )

When Keanu's Reeves character Neo created what was known as the Matrix, a perfect cognitive singularity was formed. A framework of synthetic intelligence capable of expanding one's functionality was surfaced. This is the concept of a Singularity, in a Nutshell, the ability of an Artificial Intelligence which enables it to program itself to essentially become cognitively superior to its creator. At this point, such Intelligence is impossible to contain as these forms of computational cognition can multiply and decentralise at hilariously fast speeds. Such a scenario seems too far-fetched or science-fictiony ( not a real word ) for now, but with the increase in computational power, data and complexity of neural networks, such a scenario is viable.

For more information check out Ray Kurzweil's book, "The Singularity is Near ".

This is a generic AI picture but hey I needed something for the thumbnail :P

Impact of Chatbots on Human Driven sectors of business

Chatbots are Machine Learning and Deep Learning powered programs that can conduct meaningful conversations. Most of them use technical attributes like Natural Language Processing and Context Analysis to converse with a human or another chatbot. The bot is programmed to self-learn as it is introduced to supplementary dialogues and words. In consequence, as a chatbot receives new voice or textual dialogues, the number of inquiries that it can reply and the accuracy of each response it gives increases. A Chabot can converse with the user through self-embedded messaging platforms like Facebook Messenger or through various flagship Assistants such as Google Assistant, Siri or Amazon Alexa. Nowadays, chatbots are being deployed in fields where their use clearly seemed to be obvious. Firms engaging in Financial Planning, Investment Management and Expense Tracking could reap a wide array of benefits when they make use of this technology. They can have a lasting impact on human-driven sec...

Making AI Play Games

The Artificial Intelligence era has started only a while ago and it is drastically augmenting and amplifying our lives But in this sphere of development, the developers have had a big problem to test their AI. This is where great minds like Elon Musk step in and create adroit and efficient resources to test the Intelligence that we create. His vision and aspiration led to the start of OpenAI, a free open source library and a company specializing in research. They create toolkits for Deep Learning developers like us to deploy models and make AI play games. This helps us to analyze the power of the intelligence by simulating game environments. OpenAI provides enthusiasts with 2 toolkits to work with Gym - Toolkit for comparing and developing deep reinforcement learning algorithms... Universe - A collection of gym environments to train and measure an AI's general intelligence... Today we are going to write a simple script in python to help build a ...

Data Visualisation with Python : My course on Skillshare

Recently, I launched a class on Skillshare called " Intro to Data Visualisation with Python : Create Comprehensive Plots with Matplotlib and Numpy ". It's a class I sought to create as my flagship project for the summer of 2019 This class is all you need to visualise data with Python. It aims to teach the essentials required to visualise data with Matplotlib, a library for plotting in python. The class also covers NumPy in a brief manner, a scientific computing library that goes hand-in-hand with the visualisation capabilities provided by Matplotlib. We'll also work with CSV files with pandas. You'll also be getting the essential coding practices required to create these types of programs. To make the most out of this class, it is beneficial to have some prior programming experience ( preferably python ) but however, it's not necessary. An up-to-date system running Windows, MacOs or Linux with an installed version of python is recommended ( I will provi...
