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?

Jan De Coster: The Robot Soul

Jan De Coster Slightly Overdone
January 26, 2015
One day in April 2012 when I returned from the Pictoplasma Character Design conference in Berlin, I got a phone call from the agency Boondoggle. Their question was very simple, yet it held all the potential to change make career forever: “Can you build us a robot?”
 

My name had come up because I have made several interactive installations at BBDO that had gotten some attention in the industry. My head was still filled with characters from the conference, so even though I had no idea what I was getting myself into, the only possible answer was: “Sure.”

Someone’s Gotta Do It: This Collaborative Robot Does the Dull Jobs Few Humans Want

January 21, 2015
A manufacturing robot is hardly chummy chap. Set off from its flesh-and-blood coworkers inside a safety cage, its powerful metal biceps easily lift, weld and shape massive machine parts. People can watch it in awe from a distance, but they better keep away or risk injury.

Projecting a Robot’s Intentions

Mit News
January 02, 2015

A new spin on virtual reality helps engineers read robots’ minds.

In a darkened, hangar-like space inside MIT’s Building 41, a small, Roomba-like robot is trying to make up its mind.

 

Standing in its path is an obstacle — a human pedestrian who’s pacing back and forth. To get to the other side of the room, the robot has to first determine where the pedestrian is, then choose the optimal route to avoid a close encounter.

Brittany Singh: How Can We Stay Smarter Than Machines?

Brittany Singh B Educated
October 07, 2014
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the sum of many great human minds to apprehend the environment and make sound decisions to achieve success. To exist, AI needs to encapsulate three things: hardware, software and the input/output mechanisms that work together to enable the machine to perform intelligently. In essence, AI equips machines for divergent thinking, to inspire a wider scope of thinking and creativity.
