A recent article reports, “A new technology enables almost any application to learn like a human. The Topic-Mapper software development kit (SDK) by ai-one inc. reads and understands unstructured data without any human intervention. It allows developers to build artificial intelligence into almost any software program. This is a major step towards what Ray Kurzweil calls the technological singularity — where superhuman intelligence will transform history.”

ai-one, a SemTech Silver Sponsor, has developed a machine learning approach that is unlike any other: ‘ai-one’s technology extracts the inherent meaning of data without the need for any external references. A team of researchers spent more than eight years and $6.5 million building what they call ‘biologically inspired intelligence’ that works like a brain. It learns patterns by reading data at the bit-level. ‘It has no preconceived notions about anything,’ explains founder Walt Diggelmann, ‘so it works in any language and with any data set. It simply learns what you feed it. The more it reads, the more it learns, the better it gets at recognizing patterns and answering questions.’”

This is almost Skynet level of creepy.
