Un groupe de recherche créé pour encadrer l’intelligence artificielle des robots. "Containing the intelligence explosion: the role of transparency" by Dr Joanna Bryson. This is a joint event with the Oxford Martin School and the Oxford Martin Programme on the Impacts of Future Technology Dr Joanna Bryson, Reader, Department of Computer Science, University of Bath, will ask: Is artificial intelligence an existential threat to humanity?
If so when? The Intelligence Explosion started 10,000 years ago (+/- 2,000) I just watched Daniel Dewey's TEDx Vienna talk, The Long-Term Future of AI, and it drove me crazy.
On the one hand I agree with him about the description of the phenomenon that he and others call The Intelligence Explosion. But on the other, it was constantly grating to hear him describe it as something coming in the future. This is a perfect description of human cumulative culture, and how it differs from the many other species' culture, and why it is dangerous. The Truth About Robots and Human Jobs - A3 Association for Advancing Automation. Image Credit: Rethink Robotics Of all the technology topics covered in the media today, robots are among both the hottest and, in some ways, the most feared.
Technology Has Treated us Well Amid all the recent hysteria surrounding the perceived threat that robots pose to human jobs, we seem to have lost sight of what they actually are. Sure, Artificial Intelligence May End Our World, But That Is Not the Main Problem. The robots will rise, we’re told.
The machines will assume control. For decades we have heard these warnings and fears about artificial intelligence taking over and ending humankind. Sure, Artificial Intelligence May End Our World, But That Is Not the Main Problem. Systèmes experts: jusqu’où peut-on automatiser l’intelligence? L’économie numérique, véritable vecteur d’emplois ? Facing the Intelligence Explosion. Amazon fait appel à 15 000 robots Kiva pour ses livraisons de Noël. Artificial intelligence: how clever do we want our machines to be? From 2001: A Space Odyssey to Blade Runner and RoboCop to The Matrix, how humans deal with the artifical intelligence they have created has proved a fertile dystopian territory for film-makers.
More recently Spike Jonze’s Her and Alex Garland’s forthcoming Ex Machina explore what it might be like to have AI creations living among us and, as Alan Turing’s famous test foregrounded, how tricky it might be to tell the flesh and blood from the chips and code. These concerns are even troubling some of Silicon Valley’s biggest names: last month Telsa’s Elon Musk described AI as mankind’s “biggest existential threat… we need to be very careful”.
What many of us don’t realise is that AI isn’t some far-off technology that only exists in film-maker’s imaginations and computer scientist’s labs. Many of our smartphones employ rudimentary AI techniques to translate languages or answer our queries, while video games employ AI to generate complex, ever-changing gaming scenarios. So AI exists already? US DoD report: Preparing for war in the robotic age. A recently released US Department of Defense report, DTP 106: Policy Challenges of Accelerating Technological Change, sets out the potential benefits and concerns of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and associated technologies (as well as advances in information and communications technologies (ICT) and cognitive science, big data, cloud computing, energy and nanotechnologies).
Calling for policy choices to be made sooner rather than later, the authors, James Kadtke and Linton Wells II indicate that: This paper examines policy, legal, ethical, and strategy implications for national security of the accelerating science, technology, and engineering (ST&E) revolutions underway in five broad areas: biology, robotics, information, nanotechnology, and energy (BRINE), with a particular emphasis on how they are interacting.
The paper considers the timeframe between now and 2030 but emphasizes policy and related choices that need to be made in the next few years. 2013 Programme. Taking new technologies to court.

Nick Bostrom’s Superintelligence and the metaphorical AI time bomb. Frank Knight was an idiosyncratic economist who formalized a distinction between risk and uncertainty in his 1921 book Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit.
As Knight saw it, an ever-changing world brings new opportunities, but also means we have imperfect knowledge of future events. According to Knight, risk applies to situations where we do not know the outcome of a given situation, but can accurately measure the odds. Uncertainty, on the other hand, applies to situations where we cannot know all the information we need in order to set accurate odds in the first place. “There is a fundamental distinction between the reward for taking a known risk and that for assuming a risk whose value itself is not known,” Knight wrote. A known risk is “easily converted into an effective certainty,” while “true uncertainty,” as Knight called it, is “not susceptible to measurement.” Da Vinci Robotic Surgery Lawyers. The attorneys at Morgan & Morgan are investigating claims on behalf of patients who have undergone surgery using the da Vinci surgical robot.
There have been an increasing number of complaints of complications, including burns, punctured vessels or organs, excessive bleeding and deaths, which are believed to be associated with the use of the robot during surgery. In response to the rise in complaints and concern over the safety of its use, the FDA has launched an investigation to determine whether Intuitive Surgical, Inc.’s device is responsible for the allegations in the complaints. If you are or a loved one has undergone surgery using the da Vinci surgical robot and suffered an injury, please do not hesitate to contact our attorneys today.

Recent landmarks such as self-driving cars, a computer winning at Jeopardy! And the digital personal assistants Siri, Google Now and Cortana are merely symptoms of an IT arms race fuelled by unprecedented investments and building on an increasingly mature theoretical foundation. Such achievements will probably pale against what the coming decades will bring. Nick Bostrom’s Superintelligence and the metaphorical AI time bomb.

For my latest views, see also my blogposts on AI and on Ethics. Everyone should think about the ethics of the work they do, and the work they choose not to do. Artificial Intelligence and robots often seem like fun science fiction, but in fact already affect our daily lives. For example, services like Google and Amazon help us find what we want by using AI. They learn both from us and about us when we use them. National Science Foundation and federal partners award $31.5M to advance co-robots in US. From disaster recovery to caring for the elderly in the home, scientists and engineers are developing robots that can handle critical tasks in close proximity to humans, safely and with greater resilience than previous generations of intelligent machines. Today the National Science Foundation (NSF), in partnership with the National Institutes of Health, US Department of Agriculture and NASA announced $31.5 million in new awards to spur the development and use of co-robots — robots that work cooperatively with people.
The awards mark the third round of funding made through the National Robotics Initiative (NRI), a multi-agency program launched in September 2012 as part of the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership Initiative, with NSF as the lead federal agency. The 52 new research awards, ranging from $300,000 to $1.8 million over one to four years, advance fundamental understanding of robotic sensing, motion, computer vision, machine learning and human-computer interaction.
The Problem With China's Giant Robot Ambitions. BEIJING — The Chinese government wants the country to transition from a "manufacturing giant" to a "manufacturing power," and in no industry is that ambition clearer than robotics. China's Ministry of Industry has announced a five-year plan to promote the sector, including the formulation of a robot industry technological roadmap. The goal is ultimately to grasp a 45% share of the world’s high-end robot market by 2020. Earlier this year President Xi Jinping mentioned in a speech that the "Robot Revolution" is expected to become an entry point as well as an important growth vector of the "Third Industrial Revolution," with a vast impact on the global manufacturing landscape. Of Flying Cars and the Declining Rate of Profit. A secret question hovers over us, a sense of disappointment, a broken promise we were given as children about what our adult world was supposed to be like.
I am referring not to the standard false promises that children are always given (about how the world is fair, or how those who work hard shall be rewarded), but to a particular generational promise—given to those who were children in the fifties, sixties, seventies, or eighties—one that was never quite articulated as a promise but rather as a set of assumptions about what our adult world would be like. And since it was never quite promised, now that it has failed to come true, we’re left confused: indignant, but at the same time, embarrassed at our own indignation, ashamed we were ever so silly to believe our elders to begin with.

Revamped Turing test expects computers to show imagination. In June, the developers of a Russian chatbot posing as a 13-year-old boy from Ukraine claimed it had passed the Turing test. While a lot of people doubt the result's validity because the testers used a sketchy methodology and the event was organized by a man fond of making wild claims, it's clear we need a better way to determine if an AI possesses human levels of intelligence. Enter Lovelace 2.0, a test proposed by Georgia Tech associate professor Mark Riedl. There is now a 3D printer on the International Space Station. An astronaut installed a 3D printer on the International Space Station (ISS) this morning — a big first that could change how the station’s inhabitants go about their daily lives.
The printer, which is made by Bay Area startup Made in Space, arrived at the ISS on Sept. 22 aboard SpaceX’s Dragon cargo ship. It had to wait to be installed while astronauts concentrated on time-sensitive experiments, such as a group of mice. It will first print 22 parts to test how it performs in space, followed by a second batch of undetermined items. Made in Space will use what it learns to build a second printer that will be installed permanently in 2015. The Made in Space printer onboard the International Space Station.
