For the First Time an AI Machine Identified Galaxies All on Its Own
Researchers in the UK have developed a computer that can scan outer space and classify galaxy types on its own, without any human help. This image recognition AI could help develop robots that can “see” better on their own, possibly helping doctors spot tumors or airport security spot firearms.
Our Robot Overlords Aren’t Quite Ready For Us — Yet — Caroline O’Donovan | BuzzFeed
“The issue is that robots are really good at doing the same thing over and over again, but when a task calls for flexibility of any kind, it’s almost always easier to have a human do it.” Read more
Marriage Won’t Make Sense When Humans Live for 1,000 Years
My latest story for Vice Motherboard: Is it time to start phasing out the institution of marriage now that we’re soon going to be living indefinitely? And what are the rules with marrying robots?
Mr. Know-It-All: Is It OK to Kick a Robot?
Christoph Niemann Q: Is it OK to kick a robot? A: Robots: They’re just like us! Just look at them go! Exploring the ocean floor! Assembling cars! Detonating explosive devices! Vacuuming the living room! Performing surgery! I read about one, called OSHbot, that works at a hardware store in San Jose, greeting customers in five…
How computers are learning to make human software work more efficiently — John R. Woodward, Justyna Petke And William Langdon | The Conversation
“Genetic improvement involves writing an automated “programmer” who manipulates the source code of a piece of software through trial and error with a view to making it work more efficiently. This might include swapping lines of code around, deleting lines and inserting new ones – very much like a human programmer. Each manipulation is then tested against some quality measure to determine if the new version of the code is an improvement over the old version. It is about taking large software systems and altering them slightly to achieve better results. Read more
Google’s Dream Robot Is Running Wild Across the Internet
Remember a few weeks back, when we learned that Google’s artificial neural network was having creepy daydreams, turning buildings into acid trips and landscapes into Magic Eye pictures? Well, prepare to never sleep again, because last week, Google made its “inceptionism” algorithm available to the public, and the nightmarish images are cropping up everywhere.
These are the projects Elon Musk is funding to prevent killer AI
Elon Musk has donated millions to the Future of Life Institute, and now the organization is putting that money to use by funding research into keeping artificial intelligence “robust and…
