The Department of Defense is trying to create an artificial intelligence program that can make decisions regarding life or death on the battlefield. The new program, called In The Moment, is being led by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the innovation arm of the military. Its goal is to let an AI program make the difficult decisions that military strategists are forced to grapple... 

The most significant scientific discovery since gravity has been hiding in plain sight for nearly a decade and its destructive potential to humanity is so enormous that the biggest war machine on the planet immediately deployed its vast resources to possess and control it, financing its research and development through agencies like the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Defense Advanced Research... 

Massachusetts State Police have become the first law enforcement agency in the US to use robotic dogs, in a first that has critics warning that the machines could be weaponized in the future. WBUR News reports that the metal dogs, made by Boston Dynamics (DARPA funded), have been leased to the police and used on multiple occasions in active law enforcement incidents since August. The robots, named... 

The Pentagon has unveiled an initiative to stamp out political disent, memes, news not approved by the government, the total destruction of the reputation of political dissidents with false information and even a plan to entrap people into terrorism. And hey don’t you put your blame on Trump for this one, remember, its just 4D chess, whatever happens, its never Trump’s fault because back... 

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... 

University of California researchers from Berkeley have made up a concept of so-called ‘neural dust’. Extremely tiny microchips now may be implanted in the human brain. The chips are planned to be implanted in the main body organ in order to study person’s thoughts and track psychological processes. The scientists claim, the technology will be so tiny, a person will hardly notice... 

This US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) artists rendering shows the Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 (HTV-2). US weapons researchers are looking to develop missiles moving more than five times the speed of sound, with arms giant Raytheon getting the initial $20 million development contract. The first flight tests are expected within two to four years. Existing ballistic missiles... 

Humanoid robots won the day at the DARPA Robotics Challenge, slightly outperforming their quadruped rivals at overcoming obstacles and completing tasks in a simulated disaster environment. South Korean team KAIST grabbed the top $2 million prize. Team KAIST’s transformer robot, HUBO, proved to be the most reliable and adaptable of the competitors, possibly due to its innovative design. The 5-foot-tall... 

The US military has set to design killer robots. The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is working out drones which will be able to track and kill targets even when out of contact with their handlers. The robots will be provided with lethal weapon systems. The scientists are concerned with the threat and call on banning of such systems. Stuart Russell, Professor of Computer Science... 

A revolutionary new contact lens with a built in telescope could help millions to regain their full sight. Just a wink of one’s eye is enough to zoom in or turn the telescope off, which increases peripheral vision three fold (3x). The new technology is set to help sufferers of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which can result in the loss of vision in the center of the visual field. This makes... 

Almost all automobiles sold today contain systems that can potentially be compromised by hackers, a United States Senator warns, but automakers appear largely unaware of the implications, according to his report. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Massachusetts) is calling on the world’s automobile makers to implement mandatory safeguards after his congressional inquiry revealed a widespread absence of security... 

The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has established a research and development program, known as the Fast Lightweight Autonomy Program (FLAP) which aims to develop new types of unmanned aerial vehicles—more commonly known as drones—for urban combat operations, according to the Washington Times. DARPA is preparing to dispense several initial $5 million contracts to... 

Pentagon’s main innovation unit is looking for promising ideas that would help thwart infectious disease outbreaks, including Ebola epidemic that already claimed almost 5,000 lives out of 13,241 officially confirmed cases worldwide. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Pentagon’s research organization tasked with developing advanced military technology has announced a tender... 

This US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) artists rendering shows the Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 (HTV-2). Technical complication has resulted in the termination of a mission to test a US hypersonic weapon and the destruction of the weapon itself. The weapon, known as the Advanced Hypersonic Weapon, which was developed by Sandia National Laboratory and the US Army, is part... 

Artist’s rendering of the possible communications application of an upward falling payload. The Pentagon’s research arm, DARPA, is developing robot pods that can sit at the bottom of the ocean for long stretches of time, waiting to release airborne and water-based drones to the surface upon an attack command. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently called for bids to...
