Scientist Succeed in Controlling Mice Movements Remotely, Are Humans Next?
Scientists have succeeded in remotely controlling the movements of mice. If human beings are next, how can we deal with the moral and ethical implications of this discovery? The legendary John Steinbeck took the title of his most famous novella from Robert Burns’s poem “To a Mouse“: “I’m truly sorry Man’s dominion / Has broken Nature’s social union, / And … Continue reading
Google Creates AI that Learns Completely on Its Own
The search giant has developed an artificial intelligence capable of learning without human intervention. The latest creation of Google’s artificial intelligence group DeepMind, the new software has not only managed to learn how to play the ancient Chinese board game ‘Go’ all on its own, but has even developed its own new moves and strategies – all within the space … Continue reading
Massive Atlantic Wind Farms Create Enough Energy to Power the Entire World
A new research paper boldly suggests that one monumental floating wind farm in the north Atlantic could theoretically power our entire civilization. “In the winter, North Atlantic wind farms could provide sufficient energy to meet all of civilization’s current needs,” claims the report, produced by atmospheric scientist Anna Possner and climatologist Ken Caldiera, published Monday in the Proceedings of the … Continue reading
Rapidly Replicating Botnet Infected Millions of Devices
In a very short time, new rapidly expanding loT botnet malware, more complex and dangerous than the 2016 malicious Mirai bot that caused widespread outages in the US and beyond, has already compromised over a million devices. In 2016, an Internet of Things (IoT) worm named Mirai infected some 2.5 million gadgets worldwide, building botnets that sent unstoppable floods of … Continue reading
7 Serious Threats of EMF Technology On Entire Populations
Recently, over 180 medics and scientists sent a document to the European Union appealing for the suspension of the new 5G EMF technology planned to roll out. Essentially, the 11-page document warns that EMF technology is a serious environmental hazard, harmful to life and that the new 5G EMF technology has not been properly tested for safety and has been … Continue reading
New Google AI Mimics Human Speech to Near Perfection
ELOCUTION LESSONS Last year, artificial intelligence (AI) research company DeepMind shared details on WaveNet, a deep neural network used to synthesize realistic human speech. Now, an improved version of the technology is being rolled out for use with Google Assistant. A system for speech synthesis – otherwise known as text-to-speech (TTS) – typically utilizes one of two techniques. Concatenative TTS … Continue reading
Finally! Scientists Discover a ‘Switch’ to Reduce Aging
The miracle has happened at last – scientists have found a way to prevent aging. A group of American scientists from the University of Case Western Reserve claim that a group of proteins called KLFs, which is present in worms and mammals, as well as humans, regulates gene activity and its concentration can affect aging. The molecular mechanism responsible for … Continue reading
AI Will Be Able to Detect Your Politics and IQ Using Face-Reading Technology
I just hope they don’t make this technology readily available to consumers in a portable format; imagine people running around detecting other people’s IQ and political views, it could be both funny and dangerous. via The Guardian Professor whose study suggested technology can detect whether a person is gay or straight says programs will soon reveal traits such as criminal … Continue reading
Australian Engineers Find New Way to Build Quantum Computers
Researchers in Australia have found a new way to build quantum computers which they say would make them dramatically easier and cheaper to produce at scale. Quantum computers promise to harness the strange ability of subatomic particles to exist in more than one state at a time to solve problems that are too complex or time-consuming for existing computers. Google, … Continue reading
How The Internet ‘Rewires’ Our Brains and Makes Us ‘Dumb’
Dr. Phil Reed, a psychologist specializing in internet addiction, has spoken to Sputnik about some of the negative ways the digital revolution has negatively affected our key brain functions and made us, for lack of a better word, dumber. Reed, a professor of developmental psychology, behavioral science and abnormal psychology at Swansea University in Wales, told Radio Sputnik that internet … Continue reading
