Title:
Artificial Intelligence without Restriction Surpassing Human Intelligence with Probability One - Theoretical Foundation on Singularity Turning Point and Social Impact in Intelligent Economy with AI Twins of the Brain
Speaker:
Guang-Bin Huang, Chair Professor, Southeast University, China, Founder of Mind PointEye, Singapore
Abstract:
Driven by Watt's steam engine, the Industrial Revolution transformed production methods from manual labors to machine operations, resulting in a significant increase in productivity. Similarly, Artificial Intelligence (AI) heralds the arrival of what may be the greatest new era in human history: the Intelligence Revolution. This revolution is accelerating the transition from a digital economy to an Intelligent Economy, which could potentially surpass the scale of the traditional economy by several times.
It is difficult to understand meanings of Intelligence. Intelligence is composed of an infinite number of systems and functions. From the traditional perspectives of mathematics and biology, analyzing whether artificial intelligence can surpass human intelligence seems to be an unsolvable question. However, the AI twin of the brain offers a third way to analyze and understand the intelligent functions of the brain.
This talk will brief a latest theoretical proof and AI twins insight on unconstrained artificial intelligence surpassing human intelligence with probability one, which further shows the singularity turning point and demonstrates that artificial intelligence can develop the theoretical foundations for reasoning, innovation, and the discovery of natural principles and rules.
This talk will further focus on the AI’s social potential in intelligent economy, especially in two aspects: 1) As AI systems become more integrated with robotics, we are witnessing the emergence of autonomous agents that not only think but act—machines that can perceive, decide, and interact with the physical world. As AI empowers machines with cognitive and physical abilities, robots become the tangible embodiment of artificial intelligence. 2) As AI reshapes every domain of society, AI education may evolve in parallel. Preparing the next generation of scientists, engineers, and informed citizens requires a rethinking of educational systems at all levels. Cultivating interdisciplinary talent in AI, neuroscience, robotics, and ethics will be essential to ensure the responsible and creative development of future technologies. This talk will share some observations and thoughts on the trend of embodied robots and AI education in China and Singapore.
