Computers are logical inventions. They are meant to organize information and complete numerical tasks without mistakes. However, in the modern world of interactive technology, there is a growing desire to have computer applications that are more human like.
Vicarious is an Artificial Intelligence business based in Silicon Valley. Their visions encompass creative ways of data processing. They are using what they know about information flow through the human brain to bring their ideas to life. Their goal is to add an imagination type of application to their computer processing style.
Companies like Google and Amazon have begun to integrate a process called “deep learning” into their network applications. This system uses computerized neural networks to mimic slightly how the human brain works to recognize and remember things like faces and objects. It can take quite some time for the application to accomplish what the human brain does instantly every second of every day, however.
“Vicarious is bringing us all closer to a future where computers perceive, imagine, and reason just like humans.”
Vicarious has come up with a new version of this neural network process. They use an algorithm that is meant to consider biological appearances. One example of the possibilities lies in the capacity to understand how an individual item might look when faced with a different background or environment. This is the “imagination” that Vicarious is aiming for. Instead of clear, logical data, the newer computers will be able to handle a more conceptual type of information.

Vicarious is about ready to release reports that will outline their new endeavor, after keeping silent on the project for the past two years. The simple offices in Union City are a humble starting point for the company’s vast technological contributions. The offices, however, are adequately equipped with brilliant engineers and state of the art equipment.
The future of Vicarious looks bright, and the CEO, Scott Phoenix believes that the next 15 years holds the key to some rapid changes and updates in the business. There are many obstacles to overcome, however. The information flow in computer neural networks can only go one way while the human brain is much more complex.
The future uses of this technology may involve computers recognizing real world items and using the images to complete various tasks with the data. The future may also hold advances in how computers recognize reasoning and languages, as well.
Vicarious is keeping many of the details hidden until the official information release. However, it can be safely assumed that many exciting and creative new applications are in the making.
