The H+ shift of Google (Part 3/4: Robotics)

See here and here for last articles of this series. 

After years of acquiring companies mainly in the IT domain, Google focused in recent months on robotics domain.

Google has indeed bought the eight major companies in the robotics domain in the world:

• Schaft Inc. (build humanoid robot),
• Industrial Perception inc. (use computer vision to better understand what they are looking at and handle non-standard situations),
• Redwood Robototics and Mekka Robotics (make humanoid bots and robotic arms),
• Holomni (make sophisticated wheels),
• Bot & Dolly and Autofuss (make immersive visuals for movies such as Gravity, and use of assembly line robots).
• The last one was on December 2013: Boston Dynamics, which is known for its robots such as BigDog, a rough-terrain robot that walks, runs, climbs and carries heavy loads, the 29 mile-per-hour fastest legged Cheetah, and an agile anthropomorphic robot known as Atlas.

The engineer at the head of this newly created Robotics Division of Google is M.Andy Rubin, the man who built Google’s Android software.

By adding proprietary solutions already owned by Google today to its recent acquisitions, this company could create robots able to interact with humans and react to the real world ecosystem in a few months.

And it is obvious that huge synergies exist between health, artificial intelligence and robotics domains.

To echo all these future projects, Google recently decided to rent a huge military zone of 350.000m² belonging to US Navy, Hangar-One of Mosffett Federal, near Silicon Valley, which is composed of three warehouses and two roads, to have space to test all its future aerospace and robotics projects.

The H+ shift of Google (Part 2/4: Artificial intelligence)

Here is the last article was here

This blog post is the second of a four parts article. Please read the first previous blog article.

Google has been hiring leading researchers in the artificial intelligence space for years (Research at Google), including:

• Ray Kurzweil: Google’s Director of Engineering in 2012 (helping the company improve the accuracy of its search results), and co-founder of Singularity University. (See here for what he says about having our brains hooked up.)
• Sebastian Thrun: Google VP and Fellow,  led development of the robotic vehicle Stanley which won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge, and worked on probabilistic programming techniques in robotics, with applications including robotic mapping,
• Peter Norvig: Google Director of Research -formerly Director of Search Quality-,
• Geoffrey Hinton: Google Distinguished Researcher,  a computer scientist and psychologist, most noted for his work on artificial neural networks.
• Or Jeffrey Dean: Google Senior Fellow in the Knowledge Group, working in Deep Learning techniques, and who is going to work closely with a newly acquired “mysterious” company called DeepMind Technologies.

Even if very little information is available on DeepMind Technologies activities, this is a cutting edge artificial intelligence company which combines the best techniques from machine learning (Deep learning) and neuroscience systems to build powerful general-purpose learning algorithms.

This company might be a huge help in the first primary goal of Google, by enhancing the capabilities of the world famous Google Search engine. The technologies behind search engines has evolved during years: by starting with keywords, then understanding synonyms of keywords as well, a new algorithm was quietly launched in September 2013 called Hummingbird, which was able to analyze queries semantically, trying to understand what the queries were really looking for. It is much more efficient for queries in natural language (conversational search), which is  one of the main missions of Ray C. Kurzweil: “My mission at Google is to develop natural language understanding with a team and in collaboration with other researchers at Google”, wired.

But beyond the will to provide a new generation of search engines able to understand better users and anticipate all their desires and requests, Google’s investments in this area prove that this company wants to offer more and more powerful artificial intelligence technology capabilities to integrate it in their current and future products.

Google and NASA have recently joined forces to launch the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab that will allow researchers at the two organizations to research artificial intelligence using a quantum computer. The lab will use a “D-Wave 2” computer, the world first computer able to manipulate 512-Quantum bits (or Qbits, the quantum analogue of the classical bit), particularly efficient to solve what are known as combinatorial optimization problems, which turn up in everything from genome sequence analysis and protein folding, to risk analysis. And a member of the Google Quantum AI Lab team wrote a paper on Nature on how Quantum computers are going to boost Artificial Intelligence. In addition, Google is also looking to build an artificial brain, aka “The Google Brain”.

Evolution of Artificial Intelligence technologies at Google is a real hot topic, and it will help to operate autonomous cars, improve medical examinations, make reactive robots with human behavior, or fight against death by understanding how our cells and organs function.

The H+ shift of Google (Part 1/4)

Transhumanism (often abbreviated as H+ or h+, as for Human+) is an international cultural and intellectual movement with the goal of fundamentally transforming the human condition by developing and making widely available technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities, and thus reducing diseases and extending human life.

Transhumanists do not consider diseases and death to be a fatality, and they believe that human beings should use all possible solutions offered by sciences and technologies to improve themselves.

Google is becoming one of the main architects of this movement and actively supports transhumanism revolution.Some of the most famous Google members are openly and actively promoting this movement, such as Vinton Cerf (Google Chief Internet Evangelist), or Raymond C. Kurzweil (appointed Director of Engineering at Google in 2012, and active member of Singularity University). (See here for what Ray Kurzweil said about hooking people's brains up to computers.) 

At birth, the main goal of Google was to make available to the world all possible knowledge, by providing  a lot of different ways to do: its search engine, but also google books, google code, google map, google earth, google translate… and many others.

In less than two decades, Google has become ubiquitous in everyone’s life: every day Google answers more than one billion questions from people around the globe in 181 countries and 146 languages.

To grow rapidly, Google has done for 17 years many buyouts of companies, sizes and of different types, either to swallow up competitors, or to obtain some techniques and technologies internally.

This has helped to extend its empire, and this acquisition policy continues today with great success: In 2014, Google has surpassed Exxon company (king of oil), and is now the second market capitalization in the world, behind Apple, with 53.000 employees, and available cash of $55 billion. Google is investing today in many different markets, hoping to build on that or those that will be highly profitable in 2020.

But recently, Google’s ambition changed, and this company is now going slowly towards the merchant control of life in various ways.

HEALTH DOMAIN

Health domain is today a burgeoning market, but it is becoming increasingly digital and already generates gigabytes of data per patient. Google was already able for some years to detect an epidemic before State Medical networks, by analyzing user’s queries on the names of viruses, and correlating data with geographic origin of requests (Google Flu). This could be an extraordinary tool in epidemiology, prevention, and analysis of emerging trends and new diseases, if Google offered this opportunity to the medical community.

The interest of Google in Health domain is now even more official: Google has created a subsidiary specifically dedicated to health, named Calico (California Life Company) in September 2013, with M. Art Levinson, chairman and former CEO of Genentech (a pioneer of biotechnologies) and Chairman of Apple, as Chief Executive Officer and founding investor. The avowed aim of Calico is to increase human life expectancy from ten to twenty years by 2035. To succeed, this will require, amongst other things, massive computing power that can support its parent Google.

Google invests and also anticipates the needs in other nearby areas: DNA sequencing (subsidiary 23andMe, headed by Sergey Brin’s wife, one of the cofounder of Google), but also technological innovation internal to Google via its Google X Lab, such as connected contact lenses, equipped with a microchip to measure glucose (238 millions of people are diabetics worldwide and World Health Organization predict 438 millions diabetics in 2030).

For Google, the life domain has become one of the future new growths in the coming years:  The “death of the death” is an ancient dream becoming a major issue for Google, and for the first time in the history of humanity, a company has enough firepower to work efficiently on this subject, by creating new technologies, and working on a lot of different research topics.

TEMPEST Leaking Electrical Emanations of Signals Intelligence

Below are three videos talking about what I am talking about here, here, here, and here, and it is a part of using radar and the classified hacking techniques of the "Five Eyes" Signals Intelligence that is based upon unintentional leaking electromagnetic emanations found in the environment.  It is called TEMPEST.  See this video and this video for an example using a computer. All natural things give out radio waves, that includes you. (See here, where the physicist Dr. John Morgan says 2 minutes and 10 seconds into the video, that all natural things emit radio waves. Watch this video with Michael Persinger where he talks about how light and photons can be measured. Also, take notice in this video when the physicist mentions that the brain "radiates" radio.)
