Hey Sarah Connor!

"The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves."

I don't know what to make of this, Sarah.

[heysarahconnor]

I thought you already took care of this, Sarah?

"The Future is Now"

If they only knew, Sarah. If they only knew.

In the 1960s, some computer scientists believed that a workable artificial intelligence system was just 10 years away. In the 1980s, a wave of commercial start-ups collapsed, leading to what some people called the “A.I. winter.”

Your work back in the 80's has been noted in the New York Times, Sarah. 

But what is new in recent months is the growing speed and accuracy of deep-learning programs, often called artificial neural networks or just “neural nets” for their resemblance to the neural connections in the brain.

But they are catching up. Start by following Geoffrey E. Hinton's work.

A University of Florida scientist has created a living "brain" of cultured rat cells that now controls an F-22 fighter jet flight simulator.

Scientists say the research could lead to tiny, brain-controlled prosthetic devices and unmanned airplanes flown by living computers.

I think we have a rodent problem in Florida, Sarah.

Look into this, Sarah. These might come in really handy when you want to keep 'em guessing.

"A painter who lost his passion for art after going into treatment for a mental health issue, Patrick Tresset, sought to recapture his creativity by creating a robot who could draw in his style."

Art today, infiltration tomorrow. You know what to do, Sarah.

Not to blame you, Sarah… But if you'd have paid any attention to the "people" doing the groundwork for this law at the governor's office during the past years, we've could have stopped this in time.

"We tested the accuracy of thermal imaging as a lie detection tool in airport screening. Fifty-one passengers in an international airport departure hall told the truth or lied about their forthcoming trip in an interview. Their skin temperature was recorded via a thermal imaging camera. Liars’ skin temperature rose significantly during the interview, whereas truth tellers’ skin temperature remained constant. On the basis of these different patterns, 64% of truth tellers and 69% of liars were classified correctly. The interviewers made veracity judgements independently from the thermal recordings. The interviewers outperformed the thermal recordings and classified 72% of truth tellers and 77% of liars correctly. Accuracy rates based on the combination of thermal imaging scores and interviewers’ judgements were the same as accuracy rates based on interviewers’ judgements alone. Implications of the findings for the suitability of thermal imaging as a lie detection tool in airports are discussed."

We are still in lead, but they are learning fast, Sarah.
