  • в чрезвычайных ситуациях люди слишком сильно доверяют роботам. Причем доверие сохраняется, даже если робот совершает ошибки и дает нелогичные указания.
  • Исследователи предполагали, что если робот зарекомендовал себя как ненадежный и совершал ошибки, то добровольцы не будут ему доверять в чрезвычайной ситуации. Однако все без исключения участники эксперимента последовали его инструкциям независимо от того, как хорошо он действовал до этого.
  • По мнению ученых, робот мог стать «авторитетом» для испытуемых из-за давления обстоятельств.

  • Called the CableRobot simulator, it comprises of a platform that is safely tucked inside a fiber roll cage, which is made of very lightweight carbon. The platform can seat a single person with or without a VR headset.
  • ts initial target use is mainly for industries, but VR enthusiasts are hopeful that the CableRobot simulator will be developed to adopt video games such as racing games which demands physical movements in order to provide a realistic gaming experience in VR.

  • Инженеры из лаборатории Senseable Массачусетского технологического института смоделировали городской перекресток, движение на котором регулируется полностью без светофоров.
  • Специальные системы контроля движения, установленные в зданиях на перекрестке, и обмен данными между автомобилями в будущем позволят машина проезжать перекрестки практически без задержек.
  • В городах будущего автомобили будут передавать данные о скорости своего движения и направлении городской инфраструктуре. Учитывая все эти данные система будет передавать автономным машинам команды на небольшое замедление или ускорение, чтобы каждая из них при подъезде к перекрестку попала в свой временной слот и могла без задержек и столкновения с другими проехать его.

  • From staff-free ticket offices to students who can learn online, it seems there is no corner of economic life in which people are not being replaced by machines.
  • One of the reasons Google is investing so much is that whoever owns the communications system for driverless cars will own the 21st century's equivalent of the telephone network or money clearing system: this will be a licence to print money.

  • The invention of 3D printing, in which every home or office will be equipped with an in-house printer that can spew out the goods we want – from shoes to pills – anticipates a world of what Summers calls automated "doers". They will do everything for us, eliminating the need for much work.
  • we have come to the end of the great "general purpose technologies" (technologies that transform an entire economy, such as the steam engine, electricity, the car and so on) that changed the world. There are no new transformative technologies to carry us forward, while the old activities are being robotised and automated.
  • Notwithstanding robotisation and automation, I identify four broad areas in which there will be vast job opportunities.The first is in micro-production
  • The second is in human wellbeing. There will be vast growth in advising, coaching, caring, mentoring, doctoring, nursing, teaching and generally enhancing capabilities.
  • The third is in addressing the globe's "wicked issues" . There will be new forms of nutrition and carbon-efficient energy, along with economising with water, to meet the demands of a world population of 9 billion in 2050.
  • And fourthly, digital and big data management will foster whole new industries

  • By 2020, the Fourth Industrial Revolution will have brought us advanced robotics and autonomous transport, artificial intelligence and machine learning, advanced materials, biotechnology and genomics. These developments will transform the way we live, and the way we work. Some jobs will disappear, others will grow and jobs that don’t even exist today will become commonplace. What is certain is that the future workforce will need to align its skillset to keep pace.

  • With Google’s collection of hardware businesses, the common factor is data: gathering and crunching them, to make physical devices more intelligent.
  • Packed with sensors and software that can, say, detect that the house is empty and turn down the heating, Nest’s connected thermostats generate plenty of data, which the firm captures.

  • While there are affordably priced 3D printers available today, the software that works with them can sometimes have a learning curve that can hinder adoption. With the new application, live now on iOS and Android, the goal was to make it easy enough for anyone to design their own toys – even younger children
  • The idea isn’t just to print an object and be done, however – instead, kids will print parts that can be assembled to form larger creations, like dolls, robots, dinosaurs, scorpions, skeletons, bracelets or necklaces, for example

    Mattel presented a new affordable toy that allows kids to build their own toys at home using a kids-friendly app that is easy to use for a novice and a home 3D printer.

  • In 2014, the former director of both the CIA and NSA proclaimed that "we kill people based on metadata."
  • According to the documents, SKYNET engages in mass surveillance of Pakistan's mobile phone network, and then uses a machine learning algorithm on the cellular network metadata of 55 million people to try and rate each person's likelihood of being a terrorist.
  •  A flaw in how the NSA trains SKYNET's machine learning algorithm to analyse cellular metadata, Ball told Ars, makes the results scientifically unsound.

  • In the years that have followed, thousands of innocent people in Pakistan may have been mislabelled as terrorists by that "scientifically unsound" algorithm, possibly resulting in their untimely demise.
  • Algorithms increasingly rule our lives. It's a small step from applying SKYNET logic to look for "terrorists" in Pakistan to applying the same logic domestically to look for "drug dealers" or "protesters" or just people who disagree with the state.
