By the 1950s, we had a generation of scientists, mathematicians, and philosophers with the concept of …

Aristotle And The Chatbot: How Ancient Rules Of Logic Could Make Artificial Intelligence More Human
Many attempts to develop artificial intelligence are powered by powerful systems of mathematical logic. They tend to produce results that make logical sense to a computer program — but the result is not very human. In our work building therapy chatbots, we have found using a different kind of logic — one first formalised by …
Artificial Intelligence Is A Totalitarian’s Dream – Here’s How To Take Power Back
Individualistic western societies are built on the idea that no one knows our thoughts, desires or joys better than we do. And so we put ourselves, rather than the government, in charge of our lives.
