CTO of Gopher (OTCQB:GOPH) Talks about Avant! AI and Facebook's new Talk the Walk Artificial Intelligence

Now that Gopher Protocol, Inc. (OTCQB:GOPH) has concluded Phase 1 in the development of their Avant! AI infrastructure, the company aims to expand the gamut for Phase 2's "Semantic Segmentation Machine Learning System Development", according to CTO Danny Rittman.

"Phase 2 is basically broadening Avant!'s spectrum, coverage, features and capabilities in each domain" he said. "For example, the tracking system; in the past it was very targeted. We're going to broaden that. We're going to make it larger, wider and basically more comprehensive not only for our GEO system but also for other technologies that we are developing."

With the conclusion of Phase 1, or the "infrastructure" into which the "database mechanisms" were consolidated, Rittman explained how the Avant! engine can, with the move to Phase 2, be applied to things like drone technology.

"Avant! could basically get information about the weather (wind, rain, sunshine etc.), process all this information and have the drone fly at a certain speed or do some corrections," he said. "So, the drone keeps a good course and Avant! will be able to learn from this, implement experience, information and data into things like drones in case a similar situation occurs again."

The same principles will feature in the application of Avant! to things like autonomous machines, wherein the engine learns from data and implements that learning in its future governance.

"We will target Avant! to autonomous driving and autonomous machines and it will take into account road conditions, weather conditions, obstacles, objects, interactions etc.," he said. "From now on, Avant! will actually have the wisdom to analyze, store the data, learn from it for next time and act in the most efficient way and of course, in a safe way in the future."

AI has made the news lately, with Facebook (NasdaqGS: FB) releasing a whitepaper on their ‘Talk the Walk: Navigating New York City through Grounded Dialogue' project. The whitepaper, a collaboration between Facebook AI Research (FAIR) and the Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms (MILA) outlines the aim of the project as a "dialogue" between two agents with the goal of establishing a sort of AI tour guide.

Dr. Rittman assessed the project as being similar to existing web mapping services but noted the inclusion of communication using natural language and the interaction with other networks.

"It's very similar to the Google (NasdaqGS: GOOGL) Maps system and the typical geolocation that many people use currently," he said. "The system did add what we call the NLP (Natural Language Processor) and of course the system is a bit more of an expert in using other systems like neural networks or other kinds of AI technologies."

It is too early to tell whether the project could see mass adoption, according to Dr. Rittman but he concedes the technical achievements indicated in the whitepaper.

"I guess time will tell but it's definitely a state-of-the-art AI system," he said.

On the subject of whitepapers, Rittman added that Gopher is working out one for Avant! but that it may not be initially fully comprehensive.

"We're working now on the whitepaper for Avant!," he said. "We of course don't want to expose trade secrets of Avant! but we will definitely provide, I would say, a limited version of the whitepaper. Something that in general provides information to the public."

"Furthermore we intend to provide a web interface to Avant! for the public. It will be ready in the next few months and we will announce it, of course, via PR."
