With much of our attention focused the rise of advanced artificial intelligence, few consider the potential for radically amplified human intelligence (IA). It’s an open question as to which will come first, but a technologically boosted brain could be just as powerful — and just as dangerous – as AI.
Maybe Musk is building this for himself to take on those killer robots smile
*Or maybe not. We’re not sure. Nobody knows.
Although Barack Obama joked before that DARPA and the Pentagon were working on an Iron Man suit, a recent tweet by billionaire genius Elon Musk has thrown more fuel on the fire.
Musk was recently spotted in the Pentagon by CNN, prompting everyone to wonder exactly what he was doing there and why he was there. Sure enough, Musk replied on Twitter that it was “something about a flying metal suit.”
What happens when the consumers you chose to ignore refuses to buy your cars and buys from others who still produce non-autonomous cars.
The survey results are coming in.
We need to be honest with ourselves: the era of autonomous vehicles will soon begin. In fact, it already has. Automakers and major technology companies such as Google and Apple are all heavily investing in the technology, and there’s not going to be any slowdown. According to a new IHS Automotive study, sales of self-driving vehicles are now expected to reach nearly 21 million by 2035, an even higher number than previously predicted.
In fact, “global sales of autonomous vehicles will reach nearly 600,000 units in 2025,” states IHS director of research, Egil Juliussen, Ph.D. As first reported by The Detroit Bureau, the decade between 2025 and 2035 will see the most substantial growth for autonomous driving tech. But here’s the thing: a few surveys are showing that the public doesn’t trust the technology. One survey asked Americans what level of automation they would want in their cars. Only 15.5% of the 618 respondents said they’d like something with self-driving capabilities. 38.7% were OK with partially self-driving vehicles, while 45.8% said they didn’t want any autonomous tech at all. But are these reactions unique only to Americans? No.
BAM has teamed up with Universe Architecture to launch a ‘robo printer’ that can create free-form buildings in stone and concrete.
The ‘building machine’ is described as the first to link free-form print technology to automotive industry robotics. It is designed to make free-form architecture possible, as well as enable the creation of complex ornamental exteriors.
In 2013, architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars of Universe Architecture had plans for the creation of a building without beginning or end, Landscape House, using a 3D printer. The 3D Builder machine entered service yesterday and is starting with the construction of a 1:4 scale version of Landscape House at FabCity, a temporary sustainability campus in Amsterdam.
Years ago I was expert witness for an IP case involving some very badly designed and coded software. Case was a significant mount of money, and I had to review tons of documents, code, and diagrams to help prepare the case and give my deposition. It would have been nice to have a bot to assist. So, I do like what I am reading in this article.
Rebecca Hawkes, head of marketing at RAVN Systems, discusses why artificial intelligence is showing promise in the legal sector.
There’s been a considerable amount of media hype around artificial intelligence recently, but this isn’t just the latest buzzword.
It has now become a practical reality, with the legal industry paving the way in innovation. By 2024 the market for Enterprise artificial Intelligence systems will increase from $202.5m million in 2015 to $11.1 billion (according to a report from Tractica).
For robots; the bigger question where is the bigger ROI? Robots trying to be built to out do people; or is it better to enhance people? DARPA is more focused on enhancing people such as soldiers; and I agree with DARPA.
Understanding the hierarchical structure of biological networks like human brain — a network of neurons — could be useful in creating more complex, intelligent computational brains in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics, says a study.
Like large businesses, many biological networks are hierarchically organised, such as gene, protein, neural, a…
India’s Central Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan has cautioned that robots are replacing human workers at an alarming rate, especially in the manufacturing sector, which could create political turmoil in emerging economies like India and Vietnam.
NEW DELHI (Sputnik) — Speaking at a book launching in Mumbai, Raghuram Rajan said:
“The emerging threat is: It is not the guy sitting in Bangalore but the robot next door which is going to take your job, and this creates enormous anxiety among the middle class. You can see this in the political dialogue that is taking place in the US as well as in the run-up to Brexit in Britain.”
