“The biggest health problem in the world is age-related diseases.” Not a revolutionary statement from Dr. Brad Perking, the medical director of Human Longevity. Yet of his recent speech in Abu Dhabi, these were the last words stuck in the present. In his projections of the near future, the doctor's analysis was much more visionary, as is typical of him. Human Longevity inc. is the company founded by Craig Venter with an initial investment of over… Read more

The largest company in 2030 will supply robot teachers

teacher robot

Just thirty years ago the frontier was a school with a computer. Today, the frontier is having students with their own laptop. According to futurologist Thomas Frey, in the next 14 years the frontier will be to have students learning from robot teachers on the internet, and the company that will be able to provide this service will become one of the largest, richest and most important in the world. Frey's prediction is certainly made taking into account the latest macroscopic advances in artificial intelligence research. Robot teachers… Read more

Malicious software that pretends to be human beings

1024x456 smartphone

Do you think you can distinguish between a human and a #robot on the phone? Are you sure? The new malicious #software are very similar to human beings, they can call us at home and ask for personal data, and it would be really difficult to say that you are talking to a robot. A perfect Italian, a question and answer that does not raise doubts. But if they ask us for a credit card, it is almost certainly a scam. #Very sophisticated scams, created by robots, but obviously organized by scammers... Read more

Toyota sells Kirobo, a companion robot for the car

#Toyota has decided to produce and sell #Kirobo, a small "companion" #robot for drivers. In the last five years the car manufacturer has in fact invested around a billion dollars in studies on artificial intelligence and technology. The latest product will be Kirobo (which will be launched in January 2017), a robot designed to help drivers (and not just them). Kirobo will be sold directly in the brand's dealerships. The launch will take place first of all in Tokyo for almost 40 thousand yen (about 350… Read more

Will robots replace us in everything?

Amelia 16554

Not just low labor. The new #robots can do practically anything, even replace a hundred lawyers at almost zero cost, and they are already doing so. An example is Amelia, a virtual assistant perfect for business services, practically able to replace customer care and call centers. She learns everything on her own, never gets sick, has no drops in productivity, works twenty-four hours a day and receives no salary. And obviously she doesn't get pregnant – in spite of fertility day… Amelia is… Read more

Apple focuses on health and buys Gliimpse

389280 580x352

#Apple continues to make purchases: first machine learning and then artificial intelligence, now #Gliimpse, a startup launched in the #health and wellness sector. In short, healthcare seems to be in Apple's next plans. Just as Tim Cook celebrates his 5 years at the helm of Apple, the acquisition of Gliimpse, a startup specialized in the management and sharing of personal medical data of American patients, takes place. No comment from Apple, however, on the matter. Gliimpse allows you to save data on… Read more

The first robot that can harm humans is a reality

robots hurt humans

All science fiction enthusiasts know the first law of robotics: a robot cannot harm a human being, ever. Said in Asimov's words: "a robot cannot harm a human being nor can it allow a human being to suffer harm due to its failure to intervene." This is in the novels. In reality, however, it seems that the first robot that can "consciously decide" to harm the man who... Read more

Subcutaneous microchips arrive

microchip

Once upon a time we joked about the presence of subcutaneous microchips implanted by the State without the citizens' knowledge, but today all of this (or almost all of it) could become reality. Soon, technical prostheses could outperform natural joints, our senses will be augmented by devices implanted under the skin and artificial intelligence will be able to modify itself spontaneously. The first attempts to achieve this were seen at the TAG in Milan, where some people had a microchip implanted in their hand. Singularity University organized… Read more

AI2 will predict cyber attacks

cyber security 160419092605

Against modern cybercrimes, we need modern artificial super intelligences capable of fighting them. And this is precisely what AI2, a highly sophisticated artificial intelligence, aims to do against cybercrime. Developed by MIT, by a group at CSAIL (Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab), a new type of artificial intelligence, AI2, was born. The acronym stands for Artificial Intelligence Squared, and it is a revolutionary software. According to estimates developed by the team that developed it, AI2 would be able to predict and block approximately 85% of attempts… Read more

Facebook will "tell" photos to blind people

facebook photo

Technology can greatly help blind people to orient themselves in such a complex and, at times, even dangerous world. Facebook is making many steps forward to bring technology to those who cannot see, and from today it seems that it will also be able to "tell" photos. The new service is launched today to act as a guide for those who cannot see all the photographs that social networks are flooded with. The system works using artificial intelligence: in short, Facebook's servers are… Read more

The app that allows you to see is coming

airpoly app

It's called Aipoly and it's an app that allows blind or partially sighted people to "see" what's around them. Aipoly is an artificial intelligence app that allows you to explore the world in a different way, through a technology that communicates what you are framing with a guiding voice, obviously thanks to the use of the smartphone camera. The app currently allows you to identify around 1.000 different objects and 900 colors in real time. Aipoly was presented for the first… Read more

Google Glass to cure Autism

curaut

The Autism Glass Project is a laboratory at the School of Medicine: in a small office in the administration building, researchers Catalin Voss and Nick Haber are bringing together facial recognition technology and artificial intelligence to create new autism treatments. The second phase will involve 100 young people to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatments, which can also be carried out at home. The goal is to create a sort of "translator of emotions" capable of providing children with a "dictionary" of moods in real time... Read more

6 bets for the future

6tech

The list of technologies under study is very long and is constantly updated: one of the latest lists of future developments that could change the world forever comes from the Institute of Ethics and Emerging Technologies, a research center founded in 2004 by a philosopher, Nick Bostrom, and a bioethicist, James Huges. The list, drawn up with the consultancy of futurologist Gray Scott, presents really interesting elements: here are the "magnificent" 6 technologies that could arrive in the near future. Age reversal… Read more
