Shortly before the Vatican closed because of the coronavirus, the members of the Pontifical Academy for Life worked on artificial intelligence (AI) and the urgency, for digital developers, to commit to writing an “ethical” algorithm in the different solutions developed. Some people…
What are the ethical implications of artificial intelligence? We know that we are facing an automated future and we know that AI is proving ever-more illimitable in its capabilities and applications, but what we don’t know is whether the technology will ultimately…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) was originally conceived as replicating human intelligence. That turns out to be harder than once thought. What is rapidly progressing is deep machine learning, with resulting artificial systems able to perform specific tasks (like medical diagnosis) better than humans….
The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) has formally adopted five principles for the ethical development of artificial intelligence capabilities, following recommendations provided to Secretary of Defense Dr. Mark T. Esper by the Defense Innovation Board last October. The recommendations came after 15…
Isaac Asimov, roboticist and science fiction writer, predicted in his novel I, Robot in 1950 that robots and artificial intelligence were going to be banned from Earth in the year 2030. Instead, we are seeing huge advances in AI and this is likely to continue…
The Axial Age saw the independent rise of multiple societies, each with their own set of religious and cultural practices. The silk road arguably marked the end of the Axial Age, connecting these previously isolated cultures together in a network that traded…
The Defense Department announced adoption of ethical principles for use of artificial intelligence on Monday. The announcement comes after 15 months of consultation with AI experts in industry, government, academia and the American public and aligns with the strategy objectives for the…
Artificial intelligence (AI) relies on big data and machine learning for myriad applications, from autonomous vehicles to algorithmic trading and from clinical decision support systems to data mining. The availability of large amounts of data is essential to the development of AI. But…
The evolution of AI is often met with worry, skepticism, but also hope for a better future. The media has often contributed to the AI theatrics, making the AI safety debate more controversial than it actually is.Amidst the public furor, a number…
A few quick thoughts on this. The world we live in is becoming more and more data-driven. This is causing companies to make more and more use of AI techniques such as machine learning and deep learning. It seems to be the…
