3 days ago · In 1960, AI pioneer Norbert Wiener described the AI alignment problem as follows: . If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot interfere effectively… we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire.
Sep 6, 2024 · Norbert Wiener was an American mathematician and philosopher who founded cybernetics, the study of communication and control in living organisms and machines, and made significant contributions to ...
Aug 30, 2024 · Other articles where Shannon-Weaver information theory is discussed: information science: …post-World War II developments: the Shannon-Weaver information theory model, Norbert Wiener’s conception of the science of cybernetics, and rapid advances in the design and production of electronic computers. These innovations pointed to a new field of study in which many disciplines could be merged ...
2 days ago · Norbert Wiener's cybernetics described control and stability in electrical networks. Claude Shannon's information theory described digital signals (i.e., all-or-nothing signals). Alan Turing's theory of computation showed that any form of computation could be described digitally. The close relationship between these ideas suggested that it ...
6 days ago · First order cybernetics originated from 1940s, mainly from Norbert Wiener’s work on control and communication. From 1970s onwards, second order cybernetics started with more social science application and criticism of first order cybernetics due to its focus on homeostasis and stability.
3 days ago · The basic idea of the path integral formulation can be traced back to Norbert Wiener, who introduced the Wiener integral for solving problems in diffusion and Brownian motion. [6] This idea was extended to the use of the Lagrangian in quantum mechanics by Paul Dirac, whose 1933 paper gave birth to path integral formulation.
Sep 6, 2024 · Wiener defined cybernetics as “the science of control and communications in the animal and machine.”. This definition relates cybernetics closely with the theory of automatic control and also with physiology, particularly the physiology of the nervous system. For instance, a “controller” might be the human brain, which might receive ...
