Economic experts are trying to figure out a question that just two decades ago seemed ridiculous: If 90 percent of human jobs are replaced by robots in the..
Le chercheur américain Selmer Bringsjord travaille à donner à ses robots une relative conscience de soi. Est-ce seulement possible, et enfin, bien raisonnable ? Entretien.
D'ici dix à vingt ans, des chercheurs ont calculé que près de la moitié des emplois au Japon pourront être effectués par des robots ou des systèmes d'intelligence artificielle.
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...
Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk are among 1,000 academics, researchers and public figures to warn that a global robotic arms race "is virtually inevitable" unless a ban is imposed on autonomous weapons
Robots made entirely out of soft materials could be real game-changers. They could integrate more easily with human activities ranging from the ordinary to the exceptional.
The transhumanism scrapbook seems to keep growing each week, as this or that news story demonstrates that another incremental step has been achieved. In this case (perhaps... I'll leave you to be the judge), in robotics. The transhumanist assumptions about …
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
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.
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.
Researchers at the Universities of Sheffield, Liverpool and the West of England, Bristol have set up a new project to address concerns around artificially intelligent robots of the future.
Project aims to ensure robots meet industrial standards and are created responsibly, allaying fears that humans may not be able to control them.
the design of bionic prostheses and the creation of intelligent machines are some of the advances made towards enhancing our physical and intellectual abilities
Current warfare seems ugly enough, what with the drones and Kalashnikovs. But add a dose of computerized efficiency, and the battlefield of the future could be one truly optimized—and terrifying—killing machine.
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”.
Non seulement il y aura de moins en moins d’emplois pour les gens qui font un travail manuels, mais les emplois intellectuels seront également remplacés par des ordinateurs. Presque toute les industrie et les professions seront touchées et cela va créer un ensemble de problèmes sociaux parce que la plupart des gens ne pourront pas s’adapter à un tel changement dramatique.
Roboticists at the Ransselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York have built a trio of robots that were put through the classic 'wise men puzzle' test of self-awareness - and one of them passed.
We’re in the midst of a jobs crisis, and rapid advances in AI and other technologies may be one culprit. How can we get better at sharing the wealth that technology creates?
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?
