Here is the link to the article describing some of the products and applications that are coming/have come from studying the human brain.

I thought it was interesting, if kind of vague and overview-ish.

Though most of the truly futuristic projects are probably years from the commercial market, scientists say that, after a lull, artificial intelligence has rapidly grown far more sophisticated.

"There's definitely been a palpable upswing in methods, competence and boldness," said Eric Horvitz, a Microsoft researcher who is president- elect of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence. "At conferences you are hearing the phrase 'human- level AI,' and people are saying that without blushing."

"There is a new synthesis of four fields, including mathematics, neuroscience, computer science and psychology," said Dharmendra Modha, a computer scientist at International Business Machines. "The implication of this is amazing. What you are seeing is that cognitive computing is at a cusp where it's knocking on the door of potentially mainstream applications."

"It's time to build an AI robot," said Andrew Ng, a Stanford computer scientist and a leader of the project called the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Robot, or Stair. "The dream is to put a robot in every home."

I predict we are going to see some insane AI technologies out within the next few years. If I'm wrong, you have the right to kick me in the nuts.

Study of human brain yields intelligent robots? You mean that robotics is inspired by cognitive science? Gee wilickers, I never thought of it that way.

Maybe it's terrorists using our board as a place to put googleable codephrases in place. Maybe if we google "dhiraj choudhary" or "bus stand mathia road chandil", it'll point right to this thread, allowing a terrorist to get the pin code he needs for some terrorist plot he's working on.

Nah.
