Since real-world legal experiments are often costly or infeasible, simulating legal societies with Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems provides an effective alternative for verifying and developing legal theory, as well as supporting legal administration. Large Language Models (LLMs), with their world knowledge and role-playing capabilities, are strong candidates to serve as the foundation for legal society simulation. However, the application of LLMs to simulate legal systems remains underexplored. In this work, we introduce Law in Silico, an LLM-based agent framework for simulating legal scenarios with individual decision-making and institutional mechanisms of legislation, adjudication, and enforcement. Our experiments, which compare simulated crime rates with real-world data, demonstrate that LLM-based agents can largely reproduce macro-level crime trends and provide insights that align with real-world observations. At the same time, micro-level simulations reveal that a well-functioning, transparent, and adaptive legal system offers better protection of the rights of vulnerable individuals.


Indian Farm Workers Are Being Replaced by Drones. They Fear a Much Darker Future.

Slate

He isn't satisfied: This is the only work he's gotten in the past two weeks. Sharma is from Bihar, one of India's poorest states. But he's earned a decent living as a migrant agricultural laborer since moving to the northern state of Haryana 12 years ago. Haryana's agricultural sector relies on hundreds of thousands of Bihari laborers, and in the small village of Ghuskani, where Sharma lives, more than 87 migrant laborers work in fields, clean cattle sheds, and perform factory jobs. Sharma has sprayed insecticides on practically every farm in the village over the past 12 years.


Crafting IT innovation strategies for real-world value

#artificialintelligence

Jeff Dirks is fascinated by new technologies like generative AI. But when it comes to implementation, the chief information and technology officer of workforce augmentation firm TrueBlue chooses a path that trails early adopters. "We're in the early majority," is the CIO/CTO's blunt self-assessment. Although many IT leaders would like to think of themselves -- and have others think of them -- as in the vanguard of new technology adoption, the vast majority find themselves in the middle of a bell curve, with innovators leading the way and laggards trailing behind, according to Everett Rogers' diffusion of innovations theory [see chart]. But there is no one "right" place to be along the curve.


OpenAI Invests $23.5 Million in 1X's Humanoid Robot NEO; Direct competitor to Tesla Inc's Optimus – Evincism

#artificialintelligence

OpenAI's startup fund invested $23.5 million in a Series A2 funding round on the engineering company 1X, on 23rd March 2023.[1] Another key product manufactured by 1X is EVE, a high-mobility robot attached with wheels as feet. EVE's ability to gently move, manipulate objects, and interact with the world makes it ideal for use in real-world applications. It uses a base level of training to move about our spaces, turning corners and opening doors using shared autonomy. The robot could replace laborers involved in construction, manufacturing industries, etc and potentially solve the labor shortage crisis.


Council Post: The Robots Are Coming (To Address The Labor Shortage)

#artificialintelligence

René Morkos is the founder of ALICE Technologies and is an adjunct professor at Stanford University's construction engineering Ph.D program. Have no fear: Contrary to the opinions of pop culture and media, the robots aren't coming for your construction job. Although the findings of a 2018 study by the Midwest Economic Policy Institute (MEPI) indicate that nearly 49% of construction tasks could be automated (paving the way for the replacement or displacement of nearly 2.7 million jobs in construction by 2057), these estimates failed to anticipate significant trends affecting the construction workforce. These include, most notably, the "aging out" of skilled labor and a global post-Covid-19 labor shortage. According to data published in 2021 by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 65% of workers are aged 35 and older, with 21% above age 55.


How to use data analytics to improve quality of life

#artificialintelligence

We are excited to bring Transform 2022 back in-person July 19 and virtually July 20 - 28. Join AI and data leaders for insightful talks and exciting networking opportunities. Technology has a reputation for being impersonal. It's easy to think of machine-driven artificial intelligence, 3D and biomechanics software as we would an episode of Netflix's Black Mirror. But when pointed at the right problem, advanced data analytics solutions have the power to change human lives for the better. Laborers across practically every sector -- from shipping to pipefitting -- are at risk of being physically compromised on the job every day.


Don't Worry If Robots Will Take Our Jobs. Here's Why?

#artificialintelligence

Disruptive technologies like advanced analytics, advanced robotics, big data, learning machines, the internet of things, 3D printing, and wearables are finding their way into production lines. Notwithstanding the sluggishness of progress on today's plant floors, the digital wave is gradually changing assembling, adding to significant productivity improvements and the rise of innovative production paradigms that deliver more customized and proficient solutions. In the interim, automation is the innovation that empowers machines to play out specific operations. This chops down the amount of human work required. "A few jobs are unhygienic and dangerous, and they are not appropriate for laborers," clarifies Crystal Fok, an Associate Director of MPE Cluster and Robotics Platform.


Covid-19 Boosting the Growth of Robots

#artificialintelligence

The responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on societies and economies around the globe can't be downplayed. Despite the fact that researchers have cautioned of quick-spreading ailments, most governments were underprepared and organizations of all sizes are asking workers to work from home or are confronting shutdowns (and at times, spiking demand). The epic coronavirus has expanded enthusiasm for robots, drones, and artificial intelligence, even as some testing of autonomous vehicles delays on open streets. These advances can help manage enormous staffing deficiencies in healthcare, manufacturing, and supply chains; the requirement for "social distancing;" and analysis and treatment. We don't yet have the foggiest idea about the long-term effects, yet there are more instances of how robotics is addressing the challenges presented by the pandemic.
