A New Kind of Machine Learning is Inspired by Neuroscience and uses Time as a Component
There is a new kind of Artificial Intelligence emerging that is closer to the human brain. Today’s AI is likely to be built with Machine Learning that uses Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). The ‘Deep’ is due to the multiple layers
Open letter from a Machine, How do you explain a Human?
I’m a machine and I cannot understand humans. Some mysterious element drives them to do things that have no reasonable explanation. This element, they call it the ‘human spirit’, it drives them to attempt the impossible. Sometimes it’s magnificent and

Top Reasons Why a Techie should Study Philosophy Now More than Ever
The relationship between Technology (or Science) and Philosophy used to be indistinguishable. Historically, the philosophers of the past were also the mathematicians, scientists and inventors of the day. How much impact this had we don’t know, but we can be
Beyond The Information Age and into the Useful Knowledge Age
We have had the information stage. You could argue we are now in a curation stage. Or maybe an ‘age of reckoning’ where technology needs to step up and prove it’s worth. But what if we entered an entirely new
Connections Between Quantum Physics and the Brain
I’ve always had an interest in Quantum physics. I wasn’t taught the subject in depth but for any scientist (or pop scientist), the mystery of it is irresistible. The most ‘spooky’ aspect (as Einstein described it) is the nature of
