Interview With David Ryan Polgar: Imagine A Future Where Technology Is Developed With Humans In Mind

Posted by in categories: futurism, neuroscience

It seems insurmountable today. Digital consumption is rampant. Harms from misinformation to breaches to online bullying to manipulative targeting is spawning an environment of political and societal polarization, increased mental anxiety and even suicides. Without inadequate laws to regulate these digital services, the very rules and policies that have continued to govern the physical world are not able to keep pace with the speed of technology, and properly reflect what is happening in our digital spaces.

Can we have a future where creators of technology can build towards responsibility despite the constant allure of monetization and profits? I had a chance to speak to David Ryan Polgar, Founder & Director of the non-profit, All Tech Is Human (ATIH) to dive into discussing this critical juncture where heightened consumer awareness has the potential to drive a different story.

NovaSignal’s AI-Guided Robotic Platform Aims To Change The Diagnosis Of Stroke

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, robotics/AI

Los Angeles-based NovaSignal Inc. recently launched the second version of their artificial intelligence (AI)-a guided robotic platform for assessing cerebral blood flow in order to guide real-time diagnosis. The platform uses ultrasound to autonomously capture blood flow data, which then gets sent to their HIPAA-compliant cloud system so that clinicians can access the exam data from anywhere on their personal devices.

Founded in 2,013 the company states they have raised over… See more.

Gas Stations on Mars Could One Day Be a Reality

Posted by in categories: energy, space

Scientists are experimenting with technologies for creating rocket fuel on Mars. The studies could also help combat greenhouse gas emissions on Earth.

Humanity’s quest to set foot on Mars is one of its most ambitious and complex endeavors. Yet, despite all the innovative ideas and intricate technology this goal requires, we may be able to achieve it by improving what we already know how to do. A number of research projects attempt to figure out how to we can utilize the exis… See more.

‘Yeah, we’re spooked’: AI starting to have big real-world impact, says expert

Posted by in categories: geopolitics, military, robotics/AI, treaties

A scientist who wrote a leading textbook on artificial intelligence has said experts are “spooked” by their own success in the field, comparing the advance of AI to the development of the atom bomb.

Prof Stuart Russell, the founder of the Center for Human-Compatible Artificial Intelligence at the University of California, Berkeley, said most experts believed that machines more intelligent than humans would be developed this century, and he called for international treaties to regulate the development of the technology.

Is the Great Neutrino Puzzle Pointing to Multiple Missing Particles?

Posted by in categories: particle physics, transportation

In 1,993 deep underground at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, a few flashes of light inside a bus-size tank of oil kicked off a detective story that is yet to reach its conclusion.

The Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) was searching for bursts of radiation created by neutrinos, the lightest and most elusive of all known elementary particles. “Much to our amazement, that’s what we saw,” said Bill Louis, one of the experiment’s leaders.

The problem was that they saw too many. Theorists had postulated that neutrinos might oscillate between types as they fly along — a hypothesis that explained various astronomical observations. LSND had set out to test this idea by aiming a beam of muon neutrinos, one of the three known types, toward the oil tank, and counting the number of electron neutrinos that arrived there. Yet Louis and his team detected far more electron neutrinos arriving in the tank than the simple theory of neutrino oscillations predicted.

Scientists raise alarm as world’s first ‘thinking’ robot with BRAIN created

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

The experiment marks the first time scientists have used lab-grown cells to train (AI).

The robot’s neurons were stimulated with electricity to perform a specific task.

In this particular case, the robot was tasked with reaching a black circular box hidden away in the maze.
