When I was walking back to home yesterday evening, I thought about Artificial Intelligence and how it is going to develop.

Well, we are going nearer and nearer in these latest years.

What do I think it is? It will START (the development will be decided year by year) as something that will be able to associate ideas, concepts and connect them, as well as recognize them.

It will begin like something like a just born baby. Able to learn, but without any knowledge.

At the present, this is very possible, as well as the Knowledge, is the one that now we have on Internet, in community and applications like Wikipedia, the biggest Encyclopedia of the world.

EG: An AI enabled software can be able to connect automatically photos from flickr and getting informations about them connecting their tags with wikipedia knowledge in “some kind of smart way” (that could be implemented in millions line alghoritms).

Again, an AI software can recognize a photo comparing it with all the ones it has on the db (just checking average colours on a grid based shape) and connect the input photo with the information taken by the compared ones.

So, imagine now what about 3d models. When 3D scanners will be as advanced as to recognize 3d models “on the streets”, they can be able to compare them with some kind of database of 3d model and identify the 3D area around them. At this point, a “robot” will be able to recognize everything around it and connect everything to its database informations, just like a baby see an apple and think “an apple, juicy, sweety apple”.

Here I am, in my first post, of this blog created just after having signed a contract for working in Microsoft in Dublin!

So glad to be on board of the best company I was dreaming for and to have a chance to give all the best of myself.

As I thought, in the first interview, Microsoft demonstrated to filter heavily the candidates by difficoult theorical questions and complex alghoritm coding problems. As I thought and as I had a chance to talk with few of them, I’ll be working on a place full of geniuses!

Well, I come from a place full of geniuses, Ammado Internet Services Ltd. I am currently working for them now and I’ll end on 14th of March, ready to join Microsoft on tuesday 18th.

We are working on www.ammado.com, a wonderful community that in few months is gonna exploding and is gonna change the world!!! Oh my God! I wish them all the best luck!!!

I’ll be very sad to leave, I’ve such a wonderful relationship with my colleagues and company members that I think I’ll cry the very last day.

Anyway, I’ll start a very strong career in Microsoft and I wonder where I’ll be in few years time!!!
