AIとBig dataの予測する |
![]() でもそういうのまでAIに先回りされる可能性も大いにあると思います。不気味ですがAIが人を超える特異点Singularityを見てみたいですね! Last year, the news reported that a master shogi player cheated by consulting his smartphone for his next move. Welcome to the age of AI. The world is full of clerks trained to speak like robots. I would just as soon be in the presence of AI, which can respond differently to each individual. And I'd be delighted to have Japanese Diet members replaced, as AI would surely pass better laws than do current legislators. So what is the proper role of humans in the AI age? In my case, I would like to pursue experiments exceeding the dreams of AI researchers. All in all, though singularity sounds eerie, I'm interested in seeing what it would be like. |

![]() We have decided to travel while we have the oomph. In February, we went to Hawaii, enjoying the hospitality of Dr. Yanagimachi and swimming privately with dolphins. In May, we endured a forgettable trip to France, where the threat of terrorism dictated that even entrance to department stores required running the gauntlet of security. During our tour, I took a tumble onto the stone steps of Mont Saint Michel (did the wine at lunch play a role?) and ended up with a CT and 7 stitches in my scalp. A few days later in Paris, we had tickets to prime seating at the French Open, only to find that not only that day, but every day, was rained out. Unprecedented. Historical. A tour to forget! And yet we did not give up. In November, we ventured out again, this time to Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. Skittish after the episode at Mont Saint Michel, Stephanie took my arm when we went up steps, prompting travelmates unaware of the backstory to declare that we were such a devoted couple. |

![]() Kye returned home for winter break, and has been reconnecting with friends. I'm not sure exactly what sort of research he is doing, even after checking his lab's website. He seems to be aiming for a different world from mine, and has succeeded in that sense. Engineering students in the US seem to take about 7 years to get their PhD, as did Kye's own professor, apparently. Really?! Kye himself may or may not be in a rush to graduate, as TAs and RAs seem to receive stipends. |
