It looks as if an Israeli company is pioneering technology that could help the world fight off a problem that is almost as old as the internet itself–spam.
(Globes Online) Researchers at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology have developed a method for inputting encyclopedic knowledge to computers in a manner that will enable the machine to simulate human logic in its responses.
The new method will help computers filter email spam, perform web searches as well as carrying out electronic intelligence gathering at a more sophisticated level than current programs.
Hopefully Technion will not make these robots too smart (as no one wants to see the rise of the machines in our lifetime).
