You’ve probably noticed the trend. The doomsayers are yelling once more. They are telling us that technology poses a threat to human employment — that the robots are coming for our jobs. This is a thesis that has been defended in...

Pourquoi Stephen Hawking et Bill Gates ont peur de l'intelligence artificielle | Web 3.0 | Scoop.it
Annonces catastrophistes, films d’anticipation ou de science-fiction, ou plus simplement arrivée imminente de technologies prêtes à bouleverser notre quotidien : les Intelligences Artificielles, ou IA, sont partout. A tel point que des scientifiques de renom, tel le célèbre physicien Stepehen Hawking, voient en l’avènement de ces technologies un danger pour la race humaine. Pourtant, à écouter les spécialistes, la science est encore loin, voire très loin, de créer des machines plus intelligentes que l’être humain. Alors qu’est-ce, fin

Les stratégies industrielles de la singularité

Les stratégies industrielles de la singularité | Web 3.0 | Scoop.it

Le thèse de la singularité est née dans les années 1930 puis a pris son essor il y a une vingtaine d’années. Elle a été notamment vulgarisée par Ray Kurzweil en 2005 dans son livre “The singularity is near”. Elle tourne autour du côté inexorable du progrès technologique et notamment informatique et des lois empiriques exponentielles sur lesquelles je m’étais penché dans une autre série d’articles.

We Can Now Build Autonomous Killing Machines. And That's a Very, Very Bad Idea

We Can Now Build Autonomous Killing Machines. And That's a Very, Very Bad Idea | Web 3.0 | Scoop.it
Clearpath Robotics is a 80-person company founded six years ago by three college buddies who had a passion for machine building. They specialize in all-terrain test vehicles, such as the Husky, a stout four-wheeled robot vehicle that’s used by the Department of Defense as a test machine. They make drones too, and have even built a robot boat called the Kingfisher. But there is one thing the company will never build: a robot that can kill.

Dissecting the Scientists’ Call to Ban Autonomous Lethal Robots

Dissecting the Scientists’ Call to Ban Autonomous Lethal Robots | Web 3.0 | Scoop.it
The last six months has seen a rising flood of publicity about “killer robots” and autonomy in weapons systems. On November 19, 2012, Human Rights Watch (HRW) issued a 50-page report “Losing Humanity: The Case against Killer Robots” outlining concerns about “fully autonomous weapons that could select and engage targets without human intervention” and claiming that a “preemptive prohibition on their development and use is needed”.

Only twice in history have nations come together to ban a weapon before it was ever used. In 1868, the Great Powers agreed under the Saint Petersburg Declaration to ban exploding bullets, which by spreading metal fragments inside a victim’s body could cause more suffering than the regular kind.

Can a robot be creative? Advances in cloud robotics—machines connected to supercomputers in the cloud—have given self-driving cars, surgical robots, and other “smart” devices tremendous powers of computation. But can a robot, even one supercharged with artificial intelligence, be creative? Will a mechanical Picasso paint among us?
