Ambient Intelligence: Illuminating the dark spaces, and accelerating the advances in artificial general intelligence

The term "ambient intelligence" (AmI) comes from the field of computers and refers to electronic settings that are aware of and responsive to the presence of humans. Eli Zelkha and his team at Palo Alto Ventures first developed the concept of ambient intelligence in the late 1990s for the time frame of 2010-2020 as a projection on the future of consumer electronics, telecommunications, and computing. This concept was originally developed for the time frame of 2010-2020. Through the use of information and intelligence that is concealed within the network that connects these devices, ambient intelligence would make it possible for devices to collaborate in order to assist people in carrying out the activities, tasks, and rituals that are part of their day-to-day lives in a manner that is natural to them. As these gadgets became more compact, more linked, and more integrated into our surroundings, the technical infrastructure that supported them would fade away into our surrounds until only the user interface was left for people to see.
