This hilarious article provides genuine quotes from a computer programme that uses artificial intelligence to write serious content. It's full of jokes

A robot running an artificial intelligence (AI) model carries out actions that perpetuate racist and sexist stereotypes, highlighting the issues that exist when tech learns from data sets with inherent biases.

Researchers from Imperial College London and the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science ... [ ] and Technology have proposed the combined discipline of "Physical AI" as a means for developing lifelike autonomous robots. Researchers at Imperial College London have proposed "physical artificial intelligence" as a new multidisciplinary area of research that could be vital to producing lifelike intelligent robots in the future. Writing in the Nature Machine Intelligence journal, the team argue that teaching materials science, mechanical engineering, computer science, biology and chemistry as a combined discipline would help students and researchers develop lifelike artificially intelligent robots. This combined discipline of "physical AI" could effectively be the missing link in the attempt to create artificially intelligent robots that look and behave like humans, the Imperial College London team suggests. They argue that research into how to build lifelike robot bodies has failed to keep up with advances in computational artificial intelligence, and that the study and practice of physical artificial intelligence could rectify this imbalance.

The Toyota Research Institute (TRI) is creating artificially intelligent robots that can assist and empower people in their own homes, allowing older generations to age in place and with dignity. According to the United Nations, the global population over the age of 65 is projected to more than double over the next three decades, meaning that over 1.5 billion people around the world will be 65 or older by the year 2050. This unprecedented, impending population shift has inspired TRI to seek options to address the social and economic impacts the graying population will have on the world. TRI says it is focused on creating the technological breakthroughs necessary to make assistive home robots a reality, despite anticipated difficulties. Operating and navigating in a home is, understandably, very challenging for robots, according to the institute, since "every home is unique."

Pioneer Update: Meeting at Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto to learn more about mental health and using multimodal techniques to detect issues. On 28 September 2019, we were invited to speak on Artificial Intelligence and Human Interaction at the Google DevFest 2019 held at George Brown College, Toronto. There was a great line up of speakers from Google, IBM, Taiga Robotics, Applied Brain Research, and the Ontario Government. It was an exciting event with over 200 people in the audience – researchers, academia, students and those from government and tech companies. We thank the organizers for giving us this opportunity to speak at the event.

The vision of robots taking over the world might sound like something out of a dystopian science fiction novel. But robots will outnumber humans by 2048, an expert has predicted today. According to'leading futurologist' Dr Ian Pearson, earth's robot population will grow from around 57 million to 9.4billion over the next 30 years. Dr Pearson, a British novelist, engineer and inventor, said robots could also become'emotionally intelligent' by 2028. He said his predictions are based on the'modest' assumption that the number of robots will grow by a fifth each year.

In 1941, science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov stated "The Three Laws of Robotics," in his short story "Runaround." Law One: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Law Two: A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. Law Three: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws. These laws come from the world of science fiction, but the real world is catching up.

From babysitting children to beating the world champion at Go, robots are slowly but surely developing more and more advanced capabilities. And many scientists, including Professor Stephen Hawking, suggest it may only be a matter of time before machines gain consciousness. In a new article for The Conversation, Professor Subhash Kak, Regents Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Oklahoma State University explains the possible consequences if artificial intelligence gains consciousness. In a new article for The Conversation, Professor Subhash Kak explains the possible consequences if artificial intelligence gains consciousness. Most computer scientists think that consciousness is a characteristic that will emerge as technology develops. Some believe that consciousness involves accepting new information, storing and retrieving old information and cognitive processing of it all into perceptions and actions.

Russia's next president could be an artificially intelligent robot that claims'enemies of the people will be shot'. Forty thousand Russians have nominated a piece of AI software on their phones to stand against Vladimir Putin for the 2018 Russian presidency. The AI assistant known as Alisa, similar to the Apple's voice-activated Siri, was created by Russian technology company Yandex. Russia's next president could be an artificially intelligent robot that claims'enemies of the people will be shot'. Since the AI's launch in September, Alisa has stirred controversy on social media, with users sharing a series of contentious statements from the software.
