Artificial intelligence

While some experts predict that developments in human robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) could results in over 50% of humans losing their jobs in the next 30 years, other are trying to create humanoid robots that are ‘creative’ ‘conscious’ and capable as any human!

The Research Center for Islamic History, Art and Culture (IRCICA) develops a new system, the first of its kind, which allows researchers around the world to easily work on Ottoman documents The Ottoman Optical Character Recognition (OCR) project, which enables rare Ottoman works to be transferred to the electronic world, has been launched by the Research Center for Islamic History, Art and Cult

A cooperative project funded by the EU researchers from the Excellence Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC) of Bielefeld University funded by Edinburgh (UK), Crete (Greece) and Munich (Germany) are working to create the first robotic bartender, called James (Joint Action in Multimodal Embodied Systems).

A new search engine for scientists was launched by the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2 ) giving researchers more powerful tools to search through the millions of academic papers available online.

The Demokritos Research Centre in Athens is planning a series of classes in robotics for school children aged 9 to 15.

The classes will take place at the Demokritos centre facilities in Agia Paraskevi and are organized by the Software and Knowledge Engineering Laboratory at the centre’s Informatics and Telecommunications Institute.

It sounds like a science-fiction nightmare. But "killer robots" have the likes of British scientist Stephen Hawking and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak fretting, and warning they could fuel ethnic cleansing and an arms race.

?One day, artificial intelligence will look back on us the same way we look at fossil skeletons on the plains of Africa: Upright apes, ready for extinction.?

If you watched ?Ex Machina,? which was screened in the middle of the year, you must have registered this sentence.

If you have forgotten it, please note it somewhere.

A 19-year-old man, identified only by the initials ?.K., has been convicted of sexually assaulting a 21-year-old Japanese tourist on the Diyarbak?r-Mu? highway in southeastern Turkey, but has had his sentence postponed for ?good conduct.?

The experts run the whole gamut from A to B, and they're practically unanimous: artificial intelligence is going to destroy human civilization.
