People “are using AI and robots like their new slaves” Li Edelkoort says

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

The use of robots and AI is a “new form of colonialism” that will lead to a resurgence of Arts and Crafts, according to trend forecaster Li Edelkoort.

Edelkoort has been a trend forecaster since she was 21 and says the discipline has “informed every single step of my life”

During an on-stage interview with Dezeen deputy editor Cajsa Carlson at Downtown Design during Dubai Design Week, Edelkoort explained that she is currently thinking about the return of Arts and Crafts, the 19th-century movement mostly associated with British designer William Morris.

Japan’s historic Moon lander counts on sunlight to overcome battery issues

Posted by in categories: solar power, space, sustainability

Despite this historic feat achieved by the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM), challenges persist.

The mission team established immediate communication with the lander post-landing, but concerns arose as the solar cell struggled to generate electricity.

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) decided to switch off the Moon lander almost three hours after the historic landing.
