Posted by Dan Kummer in categories: military, robotics/AI, supercomputing, terrorism
The Israeli military is calling Operation Guardian of the Walls the first artificial-intelligence war. the IDF established an advanced AI technological platform that centralized all data on terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip onto one system that enabled the analysis and extraction of the intelligence.
The IDF used artificial intelligence and supercomputing during the last conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

How Nvidia plans to own the data center with AI
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: robotics/AI
Nvidia Corp. wants to transform enterprise computing completely by making data centers run 10 times faster at one-10th the cost.
Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang (pictured) is crafting a strategy to re-architect today’s on-premises data centers, public clouds and edge computing installations with a vision that leverages the company’s strong position in artificial intelligence architectures. The keys to this end-to-end strategy include a clarity of vision, massive chip design skills, new Arm-based architectures that integrate memory, processors, I/O and networking, and a compelling software consumption model.

A rogue killer drone ‘hunted down’ a human target without being instructed to, UN report says
Posted by Sean Brazell in categories: drones, government, military, robotics/AI, terrorism
Oh, joy. You can take the drone out of 2020, but you can’t take the 2020 out of the drone.
A “lethal” weaponized drone “hunted down a human target” without being told to for the first time, according to a UN report seen by the New Scientist.
The March 2020 incident saw a KARGU-2 quadcopter autonomously attack a human during a conflict between Libyan government forces and a breakaway military faction, led by the Libyan National Army’s Khalifa Haftar, the Daily Star reported.

New Dark Matter Map Shows The Bridges Between The Milky Way And Nearby Galaxies
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: cosmology, robotics/AI
A new map of dark matter made using artificial intelligence reveals hidden filaments of the invisible stuff bridging galaxies.
The map focuses on the local universe — the neighborhood surrounding the Milky Way. Despite being close by, the local universe is difficult to map because it’s chock full of complex structures made of visible matter, said Donghui Jeong, an astrophysicist at Pennsylvania State University and the lead author of the new research.
“We have to reverse engineer to know where dark matter is by looking at galaxies,” Jeong told Live Science.

More than half of Europeans want to replace lawmakers with AI, study says
Posted by Jason Blain in categories: governance, information science, robotics/AI
I think we should. If it is corrupt or makes mistakes, it will at least be correctable.
LONDON — A study has found that most Europeans would like to see some of their members of parliament replaced by algorithms.
Researchers at IE University’s Center for the Governance of Change asked 2769 people from 11 countries worldwide how they would feel about reducing the number of national parliamentarians in their country and giving those seats to an AI that would have access to their data.

The robot smiles back: Columbia scientists teach robot how to respond to human facial expressions
Posted by Dan Kummer in categories: employment, robotics/AI
Weird now, but i do think most people will want humanoid robots faking emotions, to some degree, and on the far end people who will want them to try and mimic people exactly.
Columbia Engineering researchers use AI to teach robots to make appropriate reactive human facial expressions, an ability that could build trust between humans and their robotic co-workers and care-givers. (See video below.)
