UK robotics research gets £17.3m pledge

Funding of £17.3m ($22m) for artificial intelligence and robotics research to be carried out by British universities is to be announced by the government.


  • It is part of the government's digital strategy, to be published by Culture Secretary Karen Bradley on Wednesday.
  • A report by Accentuate released last year estimated that AI could contribute up to £654 bn to the UK economy by 2035.
  • But the government was criticized last year for its support of the UK tech scene.
  • As part of the new digital strategy, computer scientist Prof Dame Wendy Hall and tech CEO Jerome Pestilent, former chief data scientist at IBM, have been asked to review the UK's artificial intelligence sector.
  • "Our scientists, researchers and entrepreneurs are at the forefront of the development of artificial intelligence and I'm looking forward to exploring how industry and government can work together to support the technology in the UK," said Dame Wendy.


Working Definition of AI=
  • Artificial intelligence is the study of how to make computers do things that people are better at or would be better at if:they could extend what they do to a World Wide Web-sized amount of data and not make mistakes.
The Origins of AI:
1957    Newell and Simon predicted that "Within ten years a computer will be the world's chess champion, unless the rules bar it from competition." 
Evolution of the Main Ideas:
•Wings or not?
•Games, mathematics, and other knowledge-poor tasks
•The silver bullet?
•Knowledge-based systems
•Hand-coded knowledge vs. machine learning
•Low-level (sensory and motor) processing and the resurgence of sub symbolic systems
•Robotics
•Natural language processing
Symbolic vs. Sub Symbolic AI
Sub-symbolic AI: Model intelligence at a level similar to the neuron.  Let such things as knowledge and planning emerge
Symbolic AI: Model such things as knowledge and planning in data structures that make sense to the programmers that build them.
