Social Machines: The coming collision of artificial intelligence, social networking and humanity

Abstract

What the concept of a social machine is and how the activities of non-programmers are contributing to machine intelligence

How modern artificial intelligence technologies, such as Watson, are evolving and how they process knowledge from both carefully produced information (such as Wikipedia and journal articles) and from big data collections

The fundamentals of neuromorphic computing, knowledge graph search, and linked data, as well as the basic technology concepts that underlie networking applications such as Facebook and Twitter

How the change in attitudes towards cooperative work on the Web, especially in the younger demographic, is critical to the future of Web applications
