Web 3.0, A witness protection program for Artificial Intelligence (AI) — from inventorspot.com [via SteveKnode.com]

(Emphasis below from DSC)

In our current era of privacy concerns with Facebook and Google, the next decade will see an ushering in of pull technology replacing push. This will address a lot of the security issues we face today. Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents will pull information for us based on the parameters we establish and control. They will then deliver it to the social networks that exist inside our own data networks that we supervise – dissimilar to Facebook’s Open Graph philosophy.

According to Valeria Maltoni, brand strategy and co-author of The Age of Conversation, “Web 3.0 is the true era of conversation, where the real dialogue begins.” She sees the next generations of browsers as ‘smart clients’ working online and offline to facilitate connections of one’s AI agents with someone else’s AI agents, similar to how humans currently match up experts with various business opportunities.

“Our agents will in turn carry out sophisticated tasks for users, making meaningful connections between bits of information so that “computers can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, combining, and acting upon information on the Web,” notes its originator, Internet pioneer Sir Tim Berners-Lee…

Consider this quote from Virtual Musicians, Real Performances: How Artificial Intelligence Will Change Music:

Ever wonder how Jimi Hendrix would cover Lady Gaga? The day is approaching when you should be able to find out.

Musicians’ opportunities to sell their recordings may be drying up due to cultural shifts brought on by changing technology, but other aspects of technology are creating a promising new market for music: the licensing of the musical style or personality of recording artists.

The concept goes well beyond basing the avatars in guitar-based videogames on famous performers, although the idea is similar. Using complex software, North Carolina’s Zenph Sound Innovations models the musical performances of musicians from Thelonius Monk to Rachmaninoff, based on how they played in occasionally old, scratchy recordings. Using that model, the company creates new recordings as they would be played by deceased musicians, if they were around to record with today’s equipment, to critical acclaim. And that’s just for starters.

The Open Learning Initiative (OLI)

“Using intelligent tutoring systems, virtual laboratories, simulations, and frequent opportunities for assessment and feedback, the Open Learning Initiative (OLI) builds courses that are intended to enact instruction – or, more precisely, to enact the kind of dynamic, flexible, and responsive instruction that fosters learning.”
