Meet the "ems" -- machines that emulate human brains and can think, feel and work just like the brains they're copied from. Futurist and social scientist Robin Hanson describes a possible future when ems take over the global economy, running on superfast computers and copying themselves to multitask, leaving humans with only one choice: to retire, forever. Glimpse a strange future as Hanson describes what could happen if robots ruled the earth.
A body of laws and ethics for autonomous vehicles must be developed, because they will be much safer, but nothing is perfect. What will that look like?
Scientists are eager to begin using humanoid robots as a means to test medical technology that could help us better understand how muscles and tendons work. By overlaying lab-engineered tissue onto mechanical robot skeletons, scientists would essentially be creating part-human, part-robot test subjects.
While some may be able to coast into office with the promise of bringing jobs back from oversees, they fail to realize that there may be no jobs to bring back. Automation is set to replace 5 million human jobs by 2020, with poorer countries being impacted significantly more than developed nations.
NASA donated a humanoid robot to MIT’s CSAIL to give students the opportunity to develop algorithms that could be used as part of NASA’s Space Robotics Challenge. The challenge, which aims to create robots that could assist, or even potentially replace, human astronauts on extreme space missions, offers a $1,000,000 prize.
Artificial Intelligence Is progressing faster than we can comprehend. The tech featured in this video is just the tip of the iceberg, things are about t
Elon Musk believes artificial intelligence that is much smarter than the smartest human on Earth could result in dangerous situations. Musk argues that the government must introduce a universal basic income program in order to compensate for automation.
This transparent film can detect a warm body the size of a teddy bear from a meter away and is twice as sensitive as human skin at sensing temperature changes. Because it is made of low-cost pectin, the material could prove very useful in creating heat-sensitive humanoid robots that could navigate crowds or assist in search and rescue missions.
SETI senior astronomer Seth Shostak says we should expand our search for extraterrestrial life to include sentient alien machines. According to Shostak, if we can develop artificial intelligence within a couple 100 years of inventing radio, any aliens we are likely to hear from have likely gone past that point.
A task that would take one robot years to complete could be done in just a few weeks if multiple robots are allowed to communicate with one another. As algorithms and technology advances, a robot cloud could help us best utilize bots within our daily lives.
