Roboethics wants to answer the question of who or what is going to be held responsible for the actions of the robotic creations of engineers and designers until robots become moral actors, if that ever happens.
Thinking With X ~ David Orban
We are convinced, through the collective narrative leveraging our scientific understanding, that we think with our brains. While that is true, there is much more: some of us think with our stomach, an sculptor will think with her hands, a ballet dancer with her entire body. Our proprioception extends feedback loops outside of the body, extending what we are, how we think and decide, to to tips of an airplane we are piloting. As we are going to be more and more thinking with AI systems, that will support us in interpreting and acting on the world, the responsibility of user interaction designers is huge. They are shaping the systems that are going to shape what we are.
SCIENTISTS have created a âshrink rayâ that can reduce objects to one-thousandth of their original size.
The mind-blowing gizmo could one day be used to create nano-robots that are smaller that we can physically produce today.
This brings us a step closer to making 1989 sci-fi comedy Honey, I Shrunk the Kids a reality.

You have to admit it. Some of the uses of artificial intelligence are simply fascinating. One of the more exciting aspects of artificial intelligence is seeing all the potential ways the technology can be applied to our daily lives, even if it at times it seems a little creepy. We have seen artificial intelligence technology shape everything from the medical world to art. However, did you ever think that AI would go on to shape the world of stock images?

A new technology using artificial intelligence detects depressive language in social media posts more accurately than current systems and uses less data to do it.
The technology, which was presented during the European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases, is the first of its kind to show that, to more accurately detect depressive language, small, high-quality data sets can be applied to deep learning, a commonly used AI approach that is typically data intensive.
Previous psycholinguistic research has shown that the words we use in interaction with others on a daily basis are a good indicator of our mental and emotional state.
This is the final part in a series of in-depth articles examining Chinaâs efforts to build a stronger domestic semiconductor industry amid rising trade tensions.
Some in China see custom AI chips, which can offer superior performance to conventional integrated circuits even when manufactured using older processes, as helping the country loosen its dependence on the US in core technology.
This developing branch of synthetic media technology has commercial applicationsâbut also has the potential to disrupt elections and spread disinformation.
