Gaga has gone gaga over robotic arms for her keyboard.
“You have to institute and build a robotic system that would be ready to perform in six minutes in front of millions of people on national television.”

The Missing Link of Artificial Intelligence
AI’s Missing Link according to big tech.
We don’t know how to make software that learns without explicit instruction—but we need to if dreams of humanlike AI are to come true.
Photonic Laser Propulsion to send a 100 kg vehicle to Mars in 3 days and to get to wafercraft to 30% of the speed of light
Philip Lubin describes his appraoch to achieving laser driving spacecraft propulsion in the near term.
100kg robotic craft could be sent to Mars in 3 days.
1kg could go overnight to Mars.
50–100 GW could send a wafercraft to 30% of the speed of light and i would involve 10 minutes.
Did You Know? The Future Is Better Than You Think!
A video about how fast technological progress is going, how much technology has improved the world and the potential for technology to solve our most pressing challenges. Inspired in part by the book Abundance by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler, and by the video “Shift Happens 3.0” (also known as “Did You Know”) by Karl Fisch and Scott McLeod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL9Wu2kWwSY
Among the things mentioned are developments and possibilities within information technology, biotechnology, nanotechnology and artificial intelligence. The video also touches upon how several of these developments are exponential, but it does not get into the realm of technological singularity and the thoughts of people such as Ray Kurzweil, which is the topic of some of my other videos.
The guy who is speaking at the end is Peter Diamandis. The whole talk can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KxckI8Ttpw

The mother of all wireless is coming. 5G will bring drastic change
The advent of 5G is likely to bring another splurge of investment, just as orders for 4G equipment are peaking. The goal is to be able to offer users no less than the “perception of infinite capacity”, says Rahim Tafazolli, director of the 5G Innovation Centre at the University of Surrey. Rare will be the device that is not wirelessly connected, from self-driving cars and drones to the sensors, industrial machines and household appliances that together constitute the “internet of things” (IoT).
It is easy to dismiss all this as “a lot of hype”, in the words of Kester Mann of CCS Insight, a research firm. When it comes to 5G, much is still up in the air: not only which band of radio spectrum and which wireless technologies will be used, but what standards makers of network gear and handsets will have to comply with. Telecoms firms have reached consensus only on a set of rough “requirements”. The most important are connection speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second and response times (“latency”) of below 1 millisecond (see chart).
Why Are Digital Assistants Like Siri Given Female Voices?
Why a female voice as the digital assistant is explained.
At an artificial intelligence conference, a good question gets a surprising answer.
Robots could learn human values
Scientists have been running tests where artificial intelligences cultivate appropriate social behaviour by responding to simple narratives.
United Nations CITO: Artificial intelligence will be humanity’s final innovation
I hate to break the news to the UN’s CITO — has she ever heard of “Quantum Technology?” After AI flood into the scene; the next innovation that I and others are working on is Quantum Computing which will make AI, Internet, Cyber Security, devices, platforms, medical technology more advance with incredible performance.
The United Nations Chief Information Technology Officer spoke with TechRepublic about the future of cybersecurity, social media, and how to fix the internet and build global technology for social good.
Artificial intelligence, said United Nations chief information technology officer Atefeh Riazi, might be the last innovation humans create.
They Took Our Jobs: The Amazing (And Potentially Terrifying) Advance of Robots
Personally, I am not a Breitbart fan; however, I am publishing this article to highlight something that I noticed. In this article it highlighted the 3 Rules of Robotics which are old and need to be updated. One of the rules is “A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.” is not true. Why? Because as long as criminals who have enough money and can pay others well to re-engineer/ re-program robotics; robotics can become dangerous to humans. The drones today are good examples of how stalkers are using them, drug cartels, etc.
Robotics, once the almost exclusive purview of science fiction, is now approaching a point at which it will be capable of dramatic influence over humanity. These advancements are as much a lesson in caution as in the wonder of the human imagination.
Gaming Chip Is Helping Raise Your Computer’s IQ
Using gaming chips to read people’s images, etc. definitely makes sense especially as we move more and more in the AI connected experience.
Facebook, Google and Microsoft are tapping the power of a vintage computer gaming chip to raise your smartphone’s IQ with artificially intelligent programs that recognize faces and voices, translate conversations on the fly and make searches faster and more accurate.
