Troubling Study Says Artificial Intelligence Can Predict Who Will Be Criminals Based On Facial Features
THE FIELDS OF artificial intelligence and machine learning are moving so quickly that any notion of ethics is lagging decades behind, or left to works of science fiction. This might explain a new study out of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, which says computers can tell whether you will be a criminal based on nothing more than your facial features. The … Continue reading
The Spooky Secret Behind Artificial Intelligence’s Incredible Power
Spookily powerful artificial intelligence (AI) systems may work so well because their structure exploits the fundamental laws of the universe, new research suggests. The new findings may help answer a longstanding mystery about a class of artificial intelligence that employ a strategy called deep learning. These deep learning or deep neural network programs, as they’re called, are algorithms that have … Continue reading

What happens when Charlie Rose attempts to interview a robot named “Sophia” for his 60 Minutes report on artificial intelligence (video at the end of the article) “I’ve been waiting for you,” Sophia tells 60 Minutes correspondent Charlie Rose. They’re mid-interview, and Rose reacts with surprise. “Waiting for me?” he asks. “Not really,” she responds. “But it makes a good … Continue reading
U.S. Military Worried About Losing the AI War
A Defense Department science board urges ‘immediate action’ to catch up on AI warfare. It took a while for the US military to bolster its defenses against cyberattacks, and it looks like there’s a similar deficit when it comes to artificial intelligence. A new Defense Department report says that the country needs to take “immediate action” to speed up its … Continue reading
US And Israel Unleash AI Killing Machines
The two most aggressive military forces in the world have added a new frontier in their immense ability to deal death and destruction. In the same week, an Israeli firm launched the first-ever torpedo from an unmanned sea vessel while a U.S. artificially intelligent fighter pilot easily won combat simulations against human pilots. These achievements are a testament to the … Continue reading
REVEALED: This is What Aliens Look Like
