While tech giants across the world work on materializing the idea of having a generative artificial intelligence (AI) to aid humans in their daily lives, the risk of the nascent technology going rogue remains imminent. Considering this possibility, Tesla and Twitter chief Elon Musk reminded the people of AI's potential to destroy civilization. On March 15, Musk's plan of creating a new AI startup surfaced after the entrepreneur was reportedly assembling a team of AI researchers and engineers. However, Musk continues to highlight the destructive potential of AI -- just like any other technology -- if it goes into the wrong hands or is being developed with ill intentions. According to Musk, AI can be dangerous. In a FOX interview, he said that AI can be more dangerous than mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance, for example.

A robot-building lab and contest was held at the Eleventh National Conference on Artificial Intelligence. Teams of three worked day and night for 72 hours to build tabletop autonomous robots of legos, a small microcontroller board, and sensors. The robots then competed head to head in two events. The contest was a chance to learn about building machines that operate in the real world. The lab was in a roped-off area of the main exhibition area.

To use language one must be able to make inferences about the information which language conveys. This is apparent in many ways. For one thing, many of the processes which we typically consider "linguistic" require inference making. For example, structural disambiguation: (1) Waiter, I would like spaghetti with meat sauce and wine. You would not expect to be served a bowl of spaghetti floating in meat sauce and wine. That is, you would expect the meal represented by structure (2) rather than that represented by (3).
