Even though military assets inherited by Russia from the former Soviet Union were less advanced than the US arsenal, it’s no secret that the Kremlin has been developing weaponized armed forces robotics – from unmanned vehicles to fully autonomous artificial intelligence. The Russian military has been testing unmanned ground vehicles over the last few years, including the Nerekhta, the Uran-9,... 

UK police want artificial intelligence to assume the upsetting task of intercepting child-abuse images on suspects’ phones and computers. However, existing software can’t distinguish between a naked body and a desert landscape. London Metropolitan Police Head of Digital and Electronic Forensics Mark Stokes told The Telegraph that although the force, which examined 53,000 devices last year, already... 

One day robots could entirely edge out human beings and become a new life form that is even capable of replicating itself, Stephen Hawking has warned, once again predicting a rather grim future for humankind. “I fear that AI may replace humans altogether,” the renowned physicist told Wired magazine, as cited by the Cambridge News. “If people design computer viruses, someone will design AI... 

China is likely to beat the US in artificial intelligence under its national plan to exceed all other countries in the field by 2030, despite the Americans being its creators in the name of their own “exceptionalism,” the Alphabet Inc. chairman has warned. “Trust me, these Chinese people are good,” the executive chairman of Google’s parent company, Alphabet Inc., Eric Schmidt said at the... 

US company Realbotix which is a subsidiary of RealDoll has just released a realistic sex robot that moves, talks and even does auto-updates to its AI software as long as it has an internet connection. The AI is also able to learn information that it does not understand or have in its database. So its a learning AI… interesting…. Even though the the product is still primitive and more... 

While some Silicon Valley technologists and maverick Christians embrace former Google and Uber engineer Anthony Levandowski’s idea to create a god based on artificial intelligence to make human society better, many scientific experts and politicians are scared by the prospect of worshiping a “god bot.” Anthony Levandowski has set up a religious nonprofit organization called Way of the Future... 

A stunning new Federal Security Service (FSB) report circulating in the Kremlin today is expressing fears that an artificial intelligence “singularity event” has occurred in the Perm Krai Oblast—and that was caused by a computer source code allegedly hacked by a Federation citizen who was kidnapped on 28 June by American CIA operatives in Latvia prior to his being able to be interviewed by FSB... 

Robots and artificial intelligence (AI) will replace humans in 50 percent of all jobs in just ten years, says Kai-Fu Lee, founder of venture capital firm Sinovation Ventures and a reputable Chinese technologist. According to Lee, AI represents the decision engine that would replace people. The tech expert stressed that its capabilities far exceed those of humanity. The corporations, which Sinovation... 

Robots have been making inroads into the world economy, albeit slowly but surely. Robots have been making inroads into the world economy, albeit slowly but surely. A Bank of America Merrill Lynch report shows close to 50% future job losses as artificial intelligence (AI) and robots take over.

The next-generation ATLAS robot is here and it’s quieter, smarter and much steadier on its feet – all without those restrictive cables. Google-owned Boston Dynamics released a video today of the newest iteration of its ATLAS biped robot being harassed by humans as it attempts various tasks including picking up boxes, opening doors and keeping to its feet in the snow. The apparent bullying by... 

The US and UK are undermining the measures by the UN to control the use of “killer robots” in an attempt to safeguard their investments, experts say. “A lot of money is going into development(of lethal autonomous weapons) and people will want a return on their investment,” said Christof Heyns, the UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions in an interview... 

The world’s largest car manufacturing company, Toyota, has announced an investment of $50 million in joint artificial intelligence research centers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University. The research will focus on social benefits such as how to make cars safer and how to enhance people’s quality of life through enhanced mobility and robotics, especially among the... 

Austrian police officers check cars near the Austrian town of Telfs, the venue of the Bilderberg conference.
