Humanity VS Intelligence VS Artificial Intelligence, And Areas Of Study

Humanity refers to the collective qualities, characteristics, and behaviors that are associated with being human. It encompasses a wide range of traits and qualities, including: 1. Empathy: The ability to understand and share the feelings of others. 2. Compassion: The ability to show concern and kindness for others. 3. Creativity: The ability to generate new and innovative ideas. 4. Curiosity: The desire to learn and explore. 5. Rationality: The ability to think critically and logically. 6. Collaboration: The ability to work together towards a common goal. 7. Diversity: The recognition and acceptance of differences between individuals and groups. Humanity is…

From The Field: A Programming Requirement for Structural Analysis Computations. To Java or To Javascript.

When it comes to choosing a programming language for a project involving structural analysis computations, both Java and NodeJS have their own advantages and disadvantages. Here are some pros and cons for using each language: Java: Pros: – Strong object-oriented programming capabilities. – High performance and scalability, making it suitable for large-scale projects. – Cross-platform compatibility, meaning that code written in Java can be run on multiple platforms. – Large community and ecosystem, with plenty of libraries and tools available for use. – Extensive support for multi-threading, which can be useful for parallel computations. Cons: – Can be verbose and…

Speak The Language Of The Future! Here Are The Top 10 Programming Languages For AI

AI algorithms and models require a specific set of programming constructs and tools that enable the creation of intelligent behavior. For example, programming languages used for AI development typically include constructs for handling large datasets, implementing complex mathematical operations, and working with probabilistic reasoning. Programming languages used for AI development also include specialized libraries and frameworks that provide developers with pre-built functions and tools for specific AI tasks. These libraries and frameworks help to speed up the development process and make it easier for developers to build complex AI systems. Programming languages are an essential component of AI development. They…

Worry Not, The AI Apocalypse! Even The Dinosaurs Were No Match For The Heavens!

There are several existential threats to humanity that are of great concern, but here are some of the most significant ones: 1. Nuclear War: The use of nuclear weapons in a conflict could lead to catastrophic consequences, not only killing millions of people but also causing a nuclear winter that could cause widespread famine and environmental devastation. 2. Climate Change: The rise in global temperatures due to human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial activities, is causing severe environmental and social impacts. These include more frequent and intense natural disasters, sea-level rise, crop failures, water scarcity, and the displacement…

Gods In The Machine? The Rise Of Artificial Intelligence May Result In New Religions

We are about to witness the birth of a new kind of religion. In the next few years, or perhaps even months, we will see the emergence of sects devoted to the worship of artificial intelligence (AI). The latest generation of AI-powered chatbots, trained on large language models, have left their early users awestruck —and sometimes terrified — by their power. These are the same sublime emotions that lie at the heart of our experience of the divine. People already seek religious meaning from very diverse sources. There are, for instance, multiple religions that worship extra-terrestrials or their teachings. As…

AI Could Make More Work For Us, Instead Of Simplifying Our Lives

There’s a common perception that artificial intelligence (AI) will help streamline our work. There are even fears that it could wipe out the need for some jobs altogether. But in a study of science laboratories I carried out with three colleagues at the University of Manchester, the introduction of automated processes that aim to simplify work — and free people’s time — can also make that work more complex, generating new tasks that many workers might perceive as mundane. In the study, published in Research Policy, we looked at the work of scientists in a field called synthetic biology, or…

Can Businesses Help Build Trustworthy And Accurate Generative AI?

Automation relies on human dependence on machine intelligence, which is deeply affected by the universal values of accuracy and trust. Automation and efficiency initiatives will be hampered by a lack of adherence to these principles. An entirely novel wave of automation entered the world in November 2022 with the launch of ChatGPT and its potent computational capacity and ability to generate content on its own. Some incorrect content produced by ChatGPT and its rival Bard, however, has damaged public belief in these artificially intelligent machines. While many were enthralled by how quickly these tools could produce content, many were worried…

Just Nine Out Of 116 AI Professionals In Key Films Are Women, Study Finds

Report says pattern seen in films such as Ex Machina risks contributing to lack of women in tech. A relentless stream of movies, from Iron Man to Ex Machina, has helped entrench systemic gender inequality in the artificial intelligence industry by portraying AI researchers almost exclusively as men, a study has found. The overwhelming predominance of men as leading AI researchers in movies has shaped public perceptions of the industry, the authors say, and risks contributing to a dramatic lack of women in the tech workforce. Beyond the impact on gender balance, the study raises concerns about the knock-on effects…

Cinema Has Helped ‘Entrench’ Gender Inequality In AI

Study finds that just 8% of all depictions of AI professionals from 100 years of film are women – and half of these are shown as subordinate to men. Cinematic depictions of the scientists behind artificial intelligence over the last century are so heavily skewed towards men that a dangerous “cultural stereotype” has been established – one that may contribute to the shortage of women now working in AI development. Researchers from the University of Cambridge argue that such cultural tropes and a lack of female representation affects career aspirations and sector recruitment. Without enough women building AI there is a high risk of gender…

15 Things We Learned In 2022: Stuffed Puppies, Smart Birds And Self-Healing Robots

1. Mexican frogs are REALLY small Scientists (presumably searching very hard) discovered six new species of frog the size of a thumbnail in the forests of Mexico. One of these has earned the distinction of being Mexico’s tiniest frog. “These frogs potentially play a really important role in the forest ecosystem,” said Tom Jameson from the Department of Zoology. “We need to make sure that they don’t just get wiped off the map because no-one even knows they’re there.” Now, where did we put them? 2. The University Librarian received the greatest Easter gift ever… When the University Library announced in…
