There are the self-driving vehicles in that DOD contest, they are much, much improved this year.
There's the XC-45 Unmanned Drone that Beoing is developing. Unlike a Predator drone it is not designed to be remote controlled, just to have a human confirm things like dropping bombs.
That's
what I'm talking about. TiVo "just" has a recommendation engine, I think. It sees what you like, and then checks to see what else that people with similar tastes want to watch that you haven't cottoned onto yet. It's just sifting data, and presenting data. I think, for me, AI needs to make its own rules.
Here's the link to the about the DARPA contest (the self-driving vehicles):

Stanford won it.
But not as much as the robo-raptors, which I would like to purchase and pit against the Roomba in battle
They'll team up and turn on you.
iiiViva la robolucione!!!
MIT has those skittery buglike robots. And the little round ones that can distinguish between "self" and "other" and learn from the others.
I can't make the picture enlarge, but #49 looks like something that would kill me in my sleep. Fuzzy != cute!

Here's a link about the drone.

Just X-45/X-46, not XC.
Here's the story about the self-aware robots.
Leonardo's a gremlin! Whose bright idea was that?
So much reading to do!
Do you guys require your AI to look human? I don't think I need a face. In fact, a face is pushing the uncanny valley territory. Speak English, sure. Indicate moods, etc, but faces is nothing I need right now.
My sister and I got each other the same thing for Christmas.

Yeah, I don't really want human faces on my robots. I want communication skills sans uncanny valley. Robots should look like Bender, and intelligent computers should look like HAL.
I saw Letterman's clip. Too bad there were O'Reilly fans in the audience. O'Reilly has to be one of the main media people I absolutely cannot stand. I also can't stand that damn woman on CNN Headline News who is in love with her own image.
