Beyond Biology

2
What are we?
3
nerves
brain
senses
4
The Sense of Vision
5
The Sense of Hearing
6
Is there more to us than our physical existence?
7
Can we create machines that function similar to
or better than us?
8
Artificial Replication of the Human Senses
9
Replicating senses is easy, but can we replicate
the human brain?
10
Replicating senses is easy, but can we replicate
the human brain? Step 1 Build a probabilistic
model
11
Replicating senses is easy, but can we replicate
the human brain? Step 2 Make an educated guess
of where the object is in a new image
12
Replicating senses is easy, but can we replicate
the human brain? Example Human Face Detection
13
Replicating senses is easy, but can we replicate
the human brain? Example Human Face Detection
14
Replicating senses is easy, but can we replicate
the human brain? Example Human Face Detection
15
Replicating senses is easy, but can we replicate
the human brain? Example Human Face Detection
16
Replicating senses is easy, but can we replicate
the human brain? Example Speech Recognition
hello

the human brain? Example Speech Recognition
Time Frequency Transform

Frequency (?)
hel
lo
Time segment index (k)
19
In the next 20 years
Artificial speech recognition and computer vision
will continue to improve
Computers will edge closer and closer to the
human brain
In some cases, artificial systems will have
capabilities beyond biology
20
Computers are better than humans in
scalability
communication ability
their ultra-fast rate of evolution
In the future, computers will have sensors and
senses that are more advanced than those of
humans!

What if we had 10 ears?
22
or 24 ears?

What if we had ESP? (i.e. the ability to know
about people and events everywhere)

What is this leading to?

What is this leading to?
49
And eventually,
The computational, sensing, and perceptual
ability of computers will surpass those of humans.
This will have profoundly positive and negative
consequences.
Examples more human / natural technology,
increased surveillance,
50
This may also tell us more about what makes us
human. The End.
