Via Instapundit and Wired:
Hinton aimed to create a team of world-class thinkers dedicated to creating computing systems that mimic organic intelligence — or at least what we know about organic intelligence, what we know about how the brain sifts through a wealth of visual, auditory, and written cues to understand and respond to its environment. Hinton believed creating such a group would spur innovation in AI and maybe even change the way the rest of world treated this kind of work.

Points:
- “Hinton’s consortium of free thinkers is set to feed countless dollars back into the economy.”
- “…developments like the speech recognition and artificial vision systems adopted by Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, and other giants of the web came sooner because of the NCAP [Neural Computation and Adaptive Perception]”
- “The big potential lies in deciphering the words we post to the web — the status updates and the tweets and instant messages and the comments — and there’s enough of that to keep companies like Facebook, Google, and Yahoo busy for an awfully long time.”
