What will it take to build a fully automated, autonomous, AI-powered civilization? A big question — true — but arguably a more interesting and inspiring one than talking about the latest chatbot. As I discovered on a recent visit to Seoul, South Korea is already the most automated country on the planet, with 1 out of 10 workers already a robot. Could this city be a preview of how we will live in the near future? Watch this video to learn some key lessons I discovered, that may be valuable as we start to imagine what our world might look like in 2035 and beyond.

New AI Robot with 100 AI Brains Is Actually Thinking (Smart Muscle System)
A new AI robot called π-0.5 uses 100 decentralized brains, known as π-nodes, to control its body with lightning-fast reflexes and smart, local decision-making. Instead of relying on a central processor or internet connection, each part of the robot—like fingers, joints, and muscles—can sense, think, and act independently in real time. Powered by a powerful vision-language-action model and trained on massive, diverse data, this smart muscle system allows the robot to understand and complete real-world tasks in homes, even ones it has never seen before.

Spy vs. spy: A new automated removal tool can stop most remote-controlled malware
Cyberattacks can snare workflows, put vulnerable client information at risk, and cost corporations and governments millions of dollars. A botnet—a network infected by malware—can be particularly catastrophic. A new Georgia Tech tool automates the malware removal process, saving engineers hours of work and companies money.
The tool, ECHO, turns malware against itself by exploiting its built-in update mechanisms and preventing botnets from rebuilding. ECHO is 75% effective at removing botnets. Removing malware used to take days or weeks to fix, but can now be resolved in a few minutes. Once a security team realizes their system is compromised, they can now deploy ECHO, which works fast enough to prevent the botnet from taking down an entire network.
“Understanding the behavior of the malware is usually very hard with little reward for the engineer, so we’ve made an automatic solution,” said Runze Zhang, a Ph.D. student in the School of Cybersecurity and Privacy (SCP) and the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

The case for open decentralized beneficial general intelligence, with Ben Goertzel
We live at a time when humanity has never experienced such a rapid pace of change. We’re in the midst of unprecedented technological change, cultural change, political change, and philosophical change.
Some observers predict that the pace of change will slow down, but others anticipate that it will in fact increase — largely due to artificial intelligence leaping forward in capability, to the point where it exceeds human cognitive capabilities in every dimension.
How credible is such a possibility? How should humanity prepare for it? What values should guide us in our reactions and proactions to various new opportunities and potential threats that seem to be emerging almost daily?
The guest in this London Futurists webinar, Ben Goertzel, has arguably thought longer, harder, more creatively, and more boldly, about these questions, than anyone else on the planet. But he’s not just a thinker; Ben is very much also a doer — an organiser, an entrepreneur, an architect, an engineer, and a leader of too many initiatives to mention them all individually.
But let’s briefly highlight:
• Ben’s role as the long-time champion of the concept of AGI, artificial general intelligence;
• his role as the founder and leader of SingularityNET, with its mission to create a decentralized, democratic, inclusive and beneficial AGI;
• his leadership roles at Humanity+, the international transhumanist organisation, where he has served since 2008 as either Vice Chair or Chair;
• and his commitment to the writing and publication of mind-expanding ideas, such as his 2010 book \.
Beyond words: Hidden musical grammar of natural speech revealed in study
The AI revolution, which has begun to transform our lives over the past three years, is built on a fundamental linguistic principle that lies at the base of large language models such as ChatGPT. Words in a natural language are not strung together in random patterns; rather, there is a statistical structure that allows the model to guess the next word based on what came before. Yet these models overlook a crucial dimension of human communication: content that is not conveyed by words.
In a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers from Prof. Elisha Moses’s lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science reveal that the melody of speech in spontaneous conversations in English functions as a distinct language, with a “vocabulary” of hundreds of basic melodies and even rules of syntax that can be used to predict the next melody in the sequence. The study lays the foundation for an artificial intelligence that will understand language beyond words.
The melody, or music, of speech, referred to by the linguistic term “prosody,” encompasses variations in pitch (intonation), loudness (for example, for emphasis), tempo and sound quality (such as a whisper or creaky voice). This form of expression predates words in evolution: Recent studies reveal that both chimpanzees and whales incorporate complex prosodic structures in their communication.
ChatGPT ‘uncovers’ hidden cancer, saves woman’s life after missed diagnosis
Despite testing negative for rheumatoid arthritis, doctors diagnosed her with the condition after four months of visits.
However, the 40-year-old, who owns a marketing company, soon experienced excruciating stomach pains and a dramatic 14-pound weight loss within a month, with doctors attributing it to acid reflux.
Unsatisfied and desperate for answers, Bannon turned to the AI chatbot developed by OpenAI for a potential diagnosis, which she had been using for work.
