Introducing Six: A future generation is within reach

As the latest wave of incremental innovations grabs newspaper headlines and technology journalists around the world get excited about the possibilities that A.I. (artificial intelligence) can become as the year 2017 unfolds, the original definitions of A.I. have become historical relics. It is much easier to move the proverbial goal-posts than to revolutionize the game without any added handicaps.

But there remains a few dreamers whose sights are set high. The advent of a truly artificial intelligence -- not to be confused by the current trend of manufactured things exhibiting modicums of quasi-intelligent pre-programmed behaviors -- would surely mark an entirely new societal age. When that arrives, all dreamers will rejoice in victory.

This project of cloud computing-based network of systems and services approaches the challenge of artificial intelligence from an entirely different perspective. It has been evoluting since the year 2000. Maybe it's the sixth dimension, sixth generation, or sixth age of revolution. Or maybe it's the six aspects which must work in perfect unison for any creation to properly exhibit the characteristics which humanity may remark a humanoid as being artificially intelligent.

Our goal is to help society leapfrog generations of advancements and infuse the world with an entirely new way of thinking and designing the truly intelligent systems of tomorrow. In the coming months and years, valuable insights into the future of computing will be shared for both researchers and the general public alike to indulge and contemplate. Or not.

We Are Data

Algorithms and the Making of Our Digital Selves By John Cheney-Lippold We are Data" explores what identity means in an algorithmic age: how it works, how our lives are controlled by it, and how we can resist it. Algorithms are everywhere, organizing the near limitless data that exists in our world. Derived from our every search, like, click, and purchase, algorithms determine the news we get, the ads we see, the information accessible to us and even who our friends are. These complex configurations not only form knowledge and social relationships in the digital and physical world, but also determine who we are and who we can be, both on and offline. Algorithms create and recreate us, using our data to assign and reassign our gender, race, sexuality, and citizenship status. They can recognize us as celebrities or mark us as terrorists. In this era of ubiquitous surveillance, contemporary data collection entails more than gathering information about us. Entities like Google, Faceboo...

The Future of the Professions

How Technology Will Transform the Work of Human Experts By Richard Susskind, Daniel Susskind This book predicts the decline of today's professions and describes the people and systems that will replace them. In an Internet society, according to Richard Susskind and Daniel Susskind, we will neither need nor want doctors, teachers, accountants, architects, the clergy, consultants, lawyers, and many others, to work as they did in the 20th century. The Future of the Professions explains how 'increasingly capable systems' - from telepresence to artificial intelligence - will bring fundamental change in the way that the 'practical expertise' of specialists is made available in society. The authors challenge the 'grand bargain' - the arrangement that grants various monopolies to today's professionals. They argue that our current professions are antiquated, opaque and no longer affordable, and that the expertise of the best is enjoyed only by a few. In their pla...
