Computer Room (2008)
8,000 servers housing 40,000 processor Experiments produce about 15 petabytes of data per year (= 1.500.000 giga) – 5% of internet in 2001

Wim Klein first computer in action at CERN
(when machine was slower than human)
Wim Klein worked at CERN from 1958 to 1976

Wait a minute.. 48 x 65 x 37 x 84 = ?
(yes.. I checked all the results of the video)

Wait a minute.. 48 x 65 x 37 x 84 = 9696960
In Science repeatability >> speed: • Human experts make sometime mistakes • Machine repeat a mistake forever => much
better
In 1973 the CERN started to use machines. Klein retired in 1976 (HP vs Klein) !Expertise in computation: Machine, winner since the 70s
(don’t trust experts)

Intelligence: Human expertise/capability vs. machine
• Yes but computation is a “stupid” activity, humans are more “intelligent” than machine.
• Fair enough, what about Chess?

Moravec Paradox & The nature of intelligence
“The main lesson of thirty-five years of AI research is that. the hard problems are easy and the easy problems are hard”
Linguist and cognitive scientist Steven Pinker
Kasparov vs. machine (2003) Fake victory of AI (brut force computation)
“It is easy to make computers exhibit adult level performance on intelligence tests or playing checkers, and difficult or impossible to give them the skills of a one-year-old when it comes to perception and mobility” - 1988 Moravec

SIDE NOTE: Cognition and intelligence development
sensorimotor skills and instincts that we share with the animals require enormous computational resources compared to symbolic thinking

Turing Test
Modern example, the captcha
Recognizing words is too hard for machines, but easy for people.
= Testing the machine's ability to exhibit intelligence human expertise.
Traditional Turing Test: a conversion. !
If, during a conversation, machine can fool the interrogator into thinking that it is human, then it pass the test

Crowdsourcing not a new practice: distributed computing in the old days

Encyclopaedia expertise: Amateurs winner since 2005 vs. professionals (Wikipedia vs Encyclopaedia Britannica - [1])
Image interpretation expertise: amateurs still winner vs. machine (e.g. Galaxy zoo’s project: 60M of images of galaxies classified in few months by 80.000 amateurs with high accuracy, too hard for the machines (and the amateurs teached the machine [2])
