Artificial Intelligence and the future of humans

https://youtube.com/watch?v=r7-S31eA7mo&feature=share

Welcome to our latest video on the future of artificial intelligence! In this episode, we’ll be exploring the question is.

AI a friend or an enemy, and will they be a potential threat to humanity?

On the one hand, AI has the potential to revolutionize many industries and make our lives easier. From self-driving cars to virtual assistants, AI has already made some incredible advancements in recent years.

On the other hand, there are valid concerns about the potential dangers of AI. Some experts have warned that AI could eventually surpass human intelligence and potentially even pose a threat to our very existence.

So what’s the truth? In this video, we’ll take a look at both sides of the argument and try to answer the question: should we fear AI or embrace it? We’ll also be discussing the ethical considerations surrounding AI and what the future may hold for this rapidly evolving technology.

Stay tuned for a thought-provoking discussion on the future of artificial intelligence.

Why The Creative Economy Shouldn’t Fear Generative A.I.

Artificial intelligence is all over the news. When ChatGPT, OpenAI’s new chatbot, was released last month it seemed, finally, to match the hype that generative A.I. has been promising for years—an easy-to-use machine intelligence for the general public.

Wild predictions soon followed: The death of search engines, the end of homework, the hollowing-out of creative professions.


For the creative professions, the rise of generative A.I. feels like an existential threat. But a familiar technology, invented 184 years ago, can show us how to adapt and thrive in a new reality.

2022: The Year Of AI Hopes And Horrors

2022 has been an interesting year with incredible developments, both positive and negative in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Many international leaders have consistently expressed concerns on the hopes or horrors that AI can unleash if humans are not careful in applying ethical AI practices, and also fundamentally thinking harder about the use cases and the societal impacts that AI could have on human civilization.

According to a Gartner study, the revenue from AI in 2022 will reach $62 billion. This is an increase of roughly a 21.3% increase from 2021. Despite the dynamics of the market, AI is continuing to evolve, grow and many outstanding AI innovations are advancing the betterment of human kind — giving us much hope.

New AI technology can predict tsunami impacts in less than a second

The method can be used on any time-sensitive natural disaster.

In 2011, northeast Japan was struck by a devastating tsunami that claimed the lives of about 18,500 people. Since then, the nation has been focused on preventing a similar outcome in the future.

“The main advantage of our method is the speed of predictions, which is crucial for early warning,” explained Iyan Mulia, the work’s lead and a scientist at RIKEN.

Now, new research out of the RIKEN Prediction Science Laboratory has used machine learning to accurately predict tsunami impacts in less than one second, according to a press release by the institution published on Monday.

CES 2023: Engineers create a snake-like robot that can move inside water pipes

The intelligent robot ‘evolves’ inside the pipe, without stopping water distribution.

At a time when a significant proportion of people face scarcity of drinking water, a staggering 32 billion m3 of clean water is lost a year due to faulty distribution networks around the world. This is where technologies like ACWA Robotics’ Pathfinder autonomous robot become a much-relevant product for utilities. The system can navigate at the heart of the water supply network without disrupting water distribution to users to provide actionable data.

According to a UN report, worldwide water demand is expected to exceed supply by 40 per cent by 2030, and waste of water in the supply chain is something that cities cannot afford anymore.
