Singularity: Kurzweil expects intelligent computers as humans within 12 years.
According to futurologist and Google chief engineer Ray Kurzweil, the singularity is approaching by leaps and bounds. “By 2029, computers will have the same level of intelligence as humans.” This is the statement made in a recent interview at the SXSW Conference. What is the singularity? (It is always good to remember this) It is a process-event that will bring the intelligence of computers to a higher level than that of human beings. And according to leading experts on the subject it seems to be getting closer over time. Even the theoretical physicist Stephen… Read more
The Google Car triggers an accident
One of the #Google Cars being tested was hit by a second car that had run a red light. Unfortunately, the software does not conceive of "wrong" human choices, such as running a red light. Who's wrong? This is the worst #accident ever recorded for a Google car and the fault, says the company, lies with a human. The autonomous car, a Lexus SUV, was crossing an intersection when it was hit by another car that ran a red light. For … Read more
Intel buys Italian autonomous car company
The self-driving car is certainly the future of the automotive sector; Intel also understood this, having recently purchased an Italian company to develop this project. Intel has in fact purchased Yogitech, as the Santa Clara (California) company itself announced on the official blog: “For years, Intel has been producing high-performance IoT systems that allow people and companies to make more informed decisions. Right now the industry is moving away from data automation towards a… Read more
The drone eye is copied from insects
Mini drones, or drones that have the shape of an insect, are very particular robotic devices, as they manage to enter places inaccessible to humans, photographing what they see and therefore offering a real-time report of the situation. This is a sector in which science is investing a lot, and which is therefore becoming increasingly sophisticated. But how can insect drones see in low light? To give life to… Read more
Jobs of the near future: 26 jobs of tomorrow
In the days that mark the fall of the Berlusconi government and the Italian economic crisis (remember? we predicted it on the old site) I am as disheartened as all of you. The moment is difficult: we can only get out of it if all levels of our country change by looking to the future more than to the past. Some jobs will still survive in the future, let's be clear: but there is a whole series of jobs that don't exist today and which could be useful in the near future. Let's go with common sense: 60%...
