    Distributed computing is completely unrelated. That’s just running a program across many computers.

    AI is the simulation of intelligence. The main one people know is a neural network.

    The code they run it is very simple. It’s just a series of nodes that apply a weight to their input and pass it to connected nodes. Basically just multiplication and compared to a threshold.

    But what that simple code is able to achieve once trained is so much more than its code. That’s the key. The same way everything we experience is just our neurons firing.

    AIs ave figured out how to calculate the positions of planets in the future from training data in the past. Which means figuring out the scientific equations needed to calculate that.

    So AI can potentially figure out equations that we don’t even know as long as input and output data is available.

    They are experimenting with this for the magnetic fields that contain fusion reactions. The AI can spot patterns in the data indicating a breach that we don’t understand.

    You can’t just write a program to do that.

          Dude that’s a great paper, thanks kindly. I still don’t think that’s the pubic understanding of general AI, more neural networks inferencing control methods… But it doesn’t really matter. At least this is useful.

            No worries. No one is talking about general AI though.
