Wow, a robot that is as intelligent as Newton? Or maybe I should say, Newton was as intelligent as a robot?

I’ll be excited when a robot creates something that is completely new, instead of crunching numbers.

My original intent for a robot reporter was more of a “partner” than something to completely replace the reporter. The phrase “Does Not Compute” might apply to human stories that a true robot reporter wouldn’t understand and think to write.

But what I was shooting for was to help the human reporter avoid “Does Not Compute” because the question was a stupid one. Or more positively, ask MORE questions because the human reporter with a robot side-kick could get unbiased answers to questions.

I hope the reporter robot would have the same human touch that a human reporter would have. I agree that lack of emotions may not be effective for a reporter robot, but I think human should still play a part with the reports. Jen Hopkins My last blog post: Alfani Shoes for men

I agree about the lack of emotions. But why should the robot actually deliver the results? Hopefully it would just determine the results, and a human would actually relate what the robot has uncovered. That is, until the robot is more human-like, which is probably right around the corner.

It sounds like this robot reporter would be good at interpreting numbers, but I’ll really be excited/nervous when the next model starts to come up with actual ideas for solving problems like gun violence and drug addiction.

Yes a Robot reporter with new advanced investigative reporting techniques sounds very cool and just how far could this go what about a robot detective cold and calculating. Computers and artificial intelligence is moving so fast right now aany of this is possible,
Thanks for a great article, Jim

I celebrate this news with a grain of salt. The artificial intelligence makes me a little nervous. I don’t want Eureqa to tell me the probability that I will survive my marriage or if I should bother making art, for example.

Amazing! I'm astounded by the fact that it was able to deduce things about cellular processes. They should do a TED talk on this! Chad | Registry Cleaner Blog

I think the wonderful thing about a program which "one day may very well be able to analyze this information and determine the ideal tax rate for a country or what drugs can be safely decriminalized, or what level of social welfare minimizes the number of the poor while maximizing productivity." would be that it would be making suggestions based on evidence rather than what the political ideology of the day was forcing politicians to do. Too often in the west we find that policy is driven by political causes rather than what is actually best for the country. Frank, diy blogger at Hitachi NT65MA2
