5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week

Tomas Kellner
June 24, 2016
It’s been an exciting week for brains and biology. Scientists in Oregon have used a combination of software and brain imaging to read the human mind, their colleagues in England developed a “bio-ink” that can be used to 3-D print living tissue, and a neuroscientist in Canada found a way to evoke and erase memories. Welcome to a brave new world. Read on!

This week we learned about the discovery of a cosmic voyager as large as a football field that’s been keeping Earth company for at least 100 years, vast ancient cities hidden in the Cambodian jungle and Elon Musk’s desire to prevent an artificial superintelligence from turning him into its pet.

This week we learned about freshwater snails that could help AI engineers design brains for robots, scientists who are seeking to sequence synthetic human DNA and software that turns computer cameras into eye-tracking devices that can gather information about what content grabs our attention online. Take a look.

This week we learned about an ingestible origami robot that can remotely operate on a patient’s stomach, wireless ear buds that could soon translate a conversation in a foreign language and a new way to evolve supermaterials in the cloud. Take a look.

The J47 engine became the first jet engine certified for commercial aviation — the jet age was reaching cruising altitude. GE made 35,000 J47s, making it the most produced jet engine in history. But Sorota wasn’t there to see it. His father died and he left the company to take over a handful of apartment buildings the family owned. “I didn’t want to go, but I had four siblings,” he said. “I was the oldest and had to take care of business.”

Child’s Play: Machines Learning Like Kids Will Usher In The Next Industrial Revolution

December 07, 2015
If you ask Hollywood, the world teeming with robots and artificial intelligence is a no-brainer. Movies like “The Terminator,” “WALL-E” and “Blade Runner” have all cast intelligent automata as the wings upon which the future — mostly dystopian — swoops in. In fact, some very big names in science and engineering have recently joined voices in cautioning against unchecked intelligence development. Tesla’s Elon Musk and theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking have both predicted catastrophe should we make dumb choices when building smart machines.

Will Artificial Intelligence Do Great Harm or Great Good? — Interview with Marcelo Gleiser of Dartmouth College

Marcelo Gleiser The Appleton Professor Of Natural Philosophy Dartmouth College
November 24, 2015

We must consider the key moral and policy questions around artificial intelligence and cyborg technologies to ensure our innovations don’t destroy us.

 

How much do we really know about the impact of scientific breakthroughs — on technology or on society? Not enough, says Marcelo Gleiser, the Appleton Professor of Natural Philosophy and a professor of physics and astronomy at Dartmouth College.

Are Humans Becoming More God-Like? Interview with Yuval Noah Harari of Hebrew University

Yuval Noah Harari Professor At Hebrew University In Jerusalem
November 15, 2015

Technology will enable people to “upgrade” to god-like cyborgs in a century or two. That could be a good thing, as long as the technology is serving us — not the other way around.

 

Is technology enabling us to become ever-more god-like? And would that be a good thing?

As artificial intelligence (AI) and embedded technologies empower people to become “more than human,” future advances could become as much of an ethical question as a technological one.

Stuart Armstrong: Will Artificial Intelligence Destroy Humanity?

Dr Stuart Armstrong James Martin Research Fellow At The Future Of Humanity Institute Oxford University
October 02, 2015

Unless we have clear evidence that artificially intelligent beings we create pose no threat, we need to seriously consider the risk.

 

Will a Democrat or a Republican win the 2040 U.S. election? Will Google be remembered positively or negatively in 2090? Will humans create new universes by 3002?

Stacey Jarrett Wagner and Edward Youdell Talk: Robots — Love ‘Em Or Hate ‘Em, They’re Here To Stay

Ed Youdell Fabricators And Manufacturers Association
Stacey Jarrett Wagner The Jarrettwagner Group
December 15, 2014
Stacey: Well, it seems we all survived the mid-term elections in spite of the robots.
 

Ed: Robots, what robots?

Stacey: Robo-calls. Those annoying automatic messages from the candidates trying to get you to believe they know you personally and are here to help.
