Pamela,
I expect that they have! And I certainly hope so. I simply have not
found them yet after some earnest looking. Can you please send me some
references?? Right now I suspect that the heart of machine learning has
the pearl, and I'm just now turning there.
And I'm optimistically suspicious that those entropic functionals that
you find in information theory and that are built on top of conditional
probability (relative entropy, mutual information, conditional entropy,
entropy rate, etc.) hold promise...and that at the heart of machine
learning they lay lurking - or could.
Anyway, thx for the note; and /please/ send me any related referernces!

Grant, does it really seem plausible to you that the thousands of

Just for FRIAM’s information, John McCarthy used to call Asimov’s
Three Laws Talmudic. Sorry I don’t know enough about the Talmud to
agree or disagree.

What is probability, physically? It could be an illusion and that
there is no such thing as an independent observer. Even if that is
true, sampling techniques are used in many machine learning
algorithms -- it is not a question of if they work, it is an academic
question of why they work.

That sounds right, Carl. Asimov's three "laws" of robotics are more
like Asimov's three "wishes" for robotics. AI entities are already no
longer servants. They have become machine learners. They have
actually learned to project conditional probability. The cat is out
of the barn. Or is it that the horse is out of the bag?
Whatever. Fortunately, the AI folks don't seem to see - yet - that
they are stumbling all over the missing piece: stochastic adaptation.
You know, like in evolution: chance mutations. AI is still down with
a bad case of causal determinism. But I expect they will fairly
shortly get over that. Watch out.
And we still must answer Stephen Hawking's burning question: Is
intelligence a survivable trait?

It seems to me that there are many here in the US who are not
entirely on board with Asimov's First Law of Robotics, at least
insofar as it may apply to themselves, so I suspect notions of
"reining it in" are probably not going to fly.
