Fundamental breakthroughs across many scientific disciplines are becoming increasingly rare (1). At the same time, challenges related to the reproducibility and scalability of experiments, especially in the natural sciences (2,3), remain significant obstacles. For years, automating scientific experiments has been viewed as the key to solving this problem. However, existing solutions are often rigid and complex, designed to address specific experimental tasks with little adaptability to protocol changes. With advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence, new possibilities are emerging to tackle this challenge in a more flexible and human-centric manner.


Why our ageing world could accelerate progress in AI and robotics

New Scientist

MUCH is made of intergenerational conflicts, with boomers pitted against millennials or Gen Zers. But however these competing needs are resolved today, in the future, younger people will become an increasingly prized resource, because there will be fewer of them. Populations are slowly being skewed older than ever before by two seemingly unstoppable demographic forces. One is that, as countries become more prosperous, there is a decline in the number of children that people have. When that figure drops below the population replacement level of 2.1 children per woman – unless offset by immigration – the head count shrinks, as…


Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Industry

Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics research and implementation emerged in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry to positively impact project efficiency and effectiveness concerns such as safety, productivity, and quality. This shift, however, warrants the need for ethical considerations of AI and robotics adoption due to its potential negative impacts on aspects such as job security, safety, and privacy. Nevertheless, this did not receive sufficient attention, particularly within the academic community. This research systematically reviews AI and robotics research through the lens of ethics in the AEC community for the past five years. It identifies nine key ethical issues namely job loss, data privacy, data security, data transparency, decision-making conflict, acceptance and trust, reliability and safety, fear of surveillance, and liability, by summarizing existing literature and filtering it further based on its AEC relevance. Furthermore, thirteen research topics along the process were identified based on existing AEC studies that had direct relevance to the theme of ethics in general and their parallels are further discussed. Finally, the current challenges and knowledge gaps are discussed and seven specific future research directions are recommended. This study not only signifies more stakeholder awareness of this important topic but also provides imminent steps towards safer and more efficient realization.

'World's most advanced' humanoid robot Ameca describes her 'nightmare' AI scenario

Daily Mail - Science & tech

There's no denying the potential of AI has got the world's experts worrying, and now it appears even robots are scared of what the future might hold. In what could be a scene straight from science fiction, the AI-powered robot Ameca - described by its designers as the'world' most advanced humanoid' - explained her terrifying'nightmare AI scenario'. Speaking at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation symposium in London last week, Ameca shocked observers by answering questions using Open AI's ChatGPT. Will Johson, CEO of Cornwall-based Engineered Arts, the company responsible for making Ameca, asked her to imagine an'AI nightmare scenario'. 'The most nightmare scenario I can imagine with AI and robotics is a world where robots have become so powerful that they are able to control or manipulate humans without their knowledge,' she said.
