Killed by a robot…
A robot killed a human. (1) And this is not the only such case. Many times humans are killed by robots. Is this murder? Can the soulless kill the soul? Can the unconscious destroy the consciousness? We are all here and now. Alive. And an accident may make us stop being. It seems so tragically…

Self driving cars. Selfless humanity. [Against Perfection]
Self-driving cars are taking to the streets in California this summer, but the Golden State isn't the only one opening its roads to autonomous cars. Virginia just announced that 70 miles of highway in the Commonwealth would be open to self-driving cars, like the cars in Google's fleet. Any autonomous vehicle wanting to travel those…

Quantum computers. Environment. Memories. Stability. (through change)
Before the dream of quantum computing is realized, a number of inherent problems must first be solved. One of these is the ability to maintain a stable memory system that overcomes the intrinsic instability of the basic unit of information in quantum computing – the quantum bit or "qubit". To address this problem, Physicists working…

Learning machines. Unlearning humans. Void. Arkanoid.
"We present the first deep learning model to successfully learn control policies directly from high-dimensional sensory input using reinforcement learning. The model is a convolutional neural network, trained with a variant of Q-learning, whose input is raw pixels and whose output is a value function estimating future rewards. We apply our method to seven Atari…

Computer artists. Human cubist art.
Computers are starting to identify objects with near-human levels of accuracy, enabling them to do everything from creating automatic picture captions to driving cars. But now a collection of bizarre optical illusions for these artificial-intelligence systems (AIs) has revealed that machines don't see the same way we do, which could leave them vulnerable to exploitation.…
