Cognitive Science

As AI becomes an unstoppable force, it raises some difficult questions about the future role of humans in an increasingly automated world. Initial studies are showing that we can add the most value by focusing on four key areas: critical thinking, problem solving, managing human interactions, and above all else, expressing creativity. In short, our future role involves embracing these last bastions of human exclusivity and becoming more "human." But just last month, AI-generated art arrived on the world auction stage under the auspices of Christie's, proving that artificial intelligence can not only be creative but also produce world class works of art--another profound AI milestone blurring the line between human and machine. Naturally, the news sparked debates about whether the work produced by Paris-based art collective Obvious could really be called art at all.

On Monday night, the news broke that Stan Lee, a Marvel Comics legend, had passed away at the age of 95. Later on that evening, Wolverine star Hugh Jackman appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and paid a tribute to the man who helped create X-Men. "Let me just say to the family and to the legions of fans, that I remember Stan as a true gentleman who had this glint in his eye," says Jackman. "He's a creative genius, he thought outside the box -- he created a whole universe that changed the lives of many people, mine included." Jackman goes on to remember an anecdote from Comic Con, where he was on the red carpet as Wolverine -- and nobody was taking his photo, because Stan Lee was at the other end. "Stan, God bless you," he finishes.

Autism is an extreme version of the'male brain' which makes it harder to read others' emotions, a major study suggests. The world's largest study comparing autism with male personality traits has found striking similarities. Men, like people with autism, are typically less good with feelings and more likely to want to know how things work. The world's largest study comparing autism with male personality traits has found striking similarities (stock) Compared to women, they tend to be more uneasy in social situations, less socially perceptive and may fail to understand why they have caused offence. Researchers at the University of Cambridge, who analysed personality tests for more than half a million men and women, found both men and autistic people were more'systematic' than'empathetic'.

A clear understanding of Artificial Intelligence does not transcend our present activities. Minsky and McCarthy, during their time in the 1950s, had described artificial intelligence as the tasks that are operated by a machine, which if a human were to perform would have to apply intelligence. In simpler words, artificial intelligence is the intelligence of the machines unlike the natural intelligence of its inventor. In the language of computer science, AI could be defined as the mimicry of cognitive functions that humans identify with "problem-solving" or the "mill of the mind". However, do not be duped into thinking that AI is limited to practical observations.

These words of wisdom found their way to that part of my brain responsible with long-term memory after watching RIO 2. There was something about that toucan that made this phrase stick. Couple this philosophy with the idea that interviewing and recruiting talent is just like dating and the fact that full time employees spend more time at work than with their spouses at home, and I think you'll agree that working relationships between employees and employers are a lot like marriage. It's not uncommon for companies to take employees for granted and think that just because they are on payroll they will always give 110% or that they will be loyal forever and ever. When all companies want is to take, take, take and think that employees should only give, give, give, their relationship will eventually suffer and their employee turnover rate will get big, big, big. But when both parties treat each other right, and play with all cards on the table, things change.

In less than 50 years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) will match humans on traits like adaptability, creativity and emotional intelligence, an expert has predicted. Speaking at the "Festival of Dangerous Ideas" at University of New South Wales in Sydney on Sunday, Professor Toby Walsh said AI will match human intelligence by 2062. "Toby Walsh, Scientia Professor of Artificial Intelligence at UNSW Sydney, has put a date on this looming reality. "He considers 2062 the year that artificial intelligence will match human intelligence, although a fundamental shift has already occurred in the world as we know it," the university said in a statement. Walsh argued that we are already experiencing the risks of AI that seem to be so far in the future.

The broad uses of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technologies applications have been already been noticed by all of us in several areas of developments with main impacts on technology-based stuff including machine learning devices, robotics etc to name a few. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most famously used cutting-edge technologies whose importance major to exhibit human intelligence kind of behavior has been noticed and accordingly almost all the fields have been seen to implement the uses of artificial intelligence based systems. The technology makes any operating device equipped enough to expose human-like behavior with self-understanding and decision-making capabilities and accordingly putting the stuff in front of us. Following the wide versatility of this cutting-edge technology extremely famous with the name Artificial Intelligence, health care based sectors associated with the fields of medicine and biology have also attempted to implement the use of artificial intelligence in the developmental procedures. The implementations and benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medicine and biology can be understood with the help of following bullet points.

The world's largest supercomputer which can complete more than 200 million million actions per second has been switched on for the first time. The £15 million ($19.5 million) computer, which is designed and built to work like a human brain, had its landmark one-millionth processor core fitted this week. Dubbed the SpiNNaker machine, it can model more neurons in real time than any other machine on the planet. The supercomputer will help scientists better understand how neurological diseases like Parkinson's impact the brain. The world's largest supercomputer (pictured) which can complete more than 200 million million actions per second has been switched on for the first time Researchers at the University of Manchester spent more than 10 years constructing SpiNNaker.

Younger people prefer assistance from female voices, neuroscience research has revealed. A major study of consumers' subconscious reactions to digitised voices has revealed there is a substantial bias towards female voices among people under the age of 35. The research, which used brain imaging technology to explore the neurological response to male and female voice assistants, discovered respondents of both genders within a younger age group found a female voice both more approachable and more compelling than its male equivalent. In contrast, while those over 35 also found the female voice more approachable, they found the male voice to be more compelling. Analysing the subconscious brain responses of 105 subjects aged between 18 and 65, the study discovered that subjects of all ages and genders found female voices more approachable, with the "approach" response 32 per cent higher for female voices.
