Future is Nearer !
============
Much nearer than when I conceptualized :
Fast
Forward to Future [ F 3 ] - 20 Oct 2016
I thought , this may happen by 2022
But , after reading the following
news-snippet ( Economic Times / 01 Aug ) , I cannot escape the feeling that ARIHANT could well arrive ( - and save the mankind from
Robots taking over ? ) , by next
year !
It goes to prove :
If you can “ Imagine “ a “ technological innovation “ , it will happen ,
sooner or later
More likely , sooner than later !
“ These Ghosts Can Haunt Your Phone “
Las Vegas :
Chinese researchers have demonstrated an
attack called the “ Ghost
Telephonist “ , which allows hackers to take
over “ PHONE NUMBERS “ and gather “ CALL and MESSAGE CONTENT “
The demonstration was made by the
Unicorn Team researchers from 360 TECHNOLOGY
, Chinese leading security company , at the Black Hat , USA 2017
Those who have lingering “ doubts “ ( as
to when this future will arrive ) , are requested to read the following news
that appeared in Times of India ( 31
July ) :
“ Google flirts with AI
that can imagine , plan “
Google’s artificial intelligence
division is developing a system that can make its own PLANS
DeepMind says its “ IMAGINATION
AUGMENTED AGENTS “ can “ IMAGINE “ the possible consequences of their
actions, and “ INTERPRET
“ those simulations
They can then make the “ RIGHT DECISIONS “ , for what it is they want to achieve
They , essentially THINK like HUMANS , trying out different strategies in
their heads , so to speak, and are therefore able to LEARN ,
despite having little REAL experience
“ The AGENTS we
introduce benefit from an IMAGINATION
ENCODER - a neural network which LEARNS to ‘ extract
any information ‘ useful for the
Agent’s FUTURE DECISIONS , but ignore that which is irrelevant “
, the researchers wrote in a blog post

I suppose , advocates arguing that “ RIGHT to PRIVACY “ is a fundamental constitutional right
, may not like the above developments
But future of privacy does not look rosy
