Rocket AI and the next generation of AV software

itman · Feb 11, 2017

A hilarious read on the state of artificial intelligence in IT security software development.

The Temporally Recurrent Optimal Learning™ approach (abbreviated as “TROL(L)”), which was not yet known to science, was actively promoted on Twitter by conference participants. Within several hours, this resulted in five large companies contacting the project’s authors with investment offers. The value of the “project” was estimated at tens of millions of dollars.

Now, it’s time to lay the cards on the table: the Rocket AI project was created by experts in machine learning as a prank whose goal was to draw attention to the issue that was put perfectly into words by an author at Medium.com: “Artificial Intelligence has become the most hyped sector of technology. With national press reporting on its dramatic potential, large corporations and investors are desperately trying to break into this field. Many start-ups go to great lengths to emphasize their use of “machine learning” in their pitches, however trivial it may seem. The tech press celebrates companies with no products, that contribute no new technology, and at overly-inflated cost.”

PT Barnam was right. ROFL

I followed a knowledge engineer course in 1989, but it is to simple to say that because it is technology from the 80-ties, people should know better. Machine learning has boosted (pseudo) Artificial Intelligence to a second phase jump (or quantum leap) of innovation and application. Complexity is not related to age or maturit. How many people understand kaliza-klein, relativity and string theory and their relatiion? The same applies to AI and ML.

Combining misunderstanding with marketing results in a classic: Hype, Hope, Help and Horror investor/innovation life cycle (nothing new happened with Internet and Social media innovations also), certainly when big names of ML-AI were involved.
