The Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
This video gives a crash course on the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. It is my entry into the Breakthrough Junior Challenge. The scripting of this video, in addition to all 1400 hand-drawn frames of original animation, was completed in 15 hours.
Are We Ready For Artificial Intelligence?
From We Need To Talk About A.I. (2020): James Cameron and leading experts explore what an AI future could look like and who might control it. Once thought to exist purely in the realms of science fiction, the creation of a Super Intelligence is becoming more and more likely every day and, should it come to pass, would be the single biggest threat to humanity that has ever existed. From the creators of Beyond The Edge and McLaren and narrated by Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey) this exciting and necessary documentary explores artificial intelligence and the effects it could have on the future of mankind. Featuring interviews with the world’s leading authorities on AI including filmmaker James Cameron, world-renowned physicist Professor Max Tegmark, and neuroscientist and philosopher Dr Sam Harris, as they explore why we need to talk about AI…before it’s too late
Amazon uses artificial intelligence to enforce social distancing
Amazon has unveiled a new artificial intelligence system to monitor social distancing among employees, in the hopes of reducing coronavirus infections. Wired staff writer Louise Matsakis joined CBSN to explain what that new system is and how employees are responding.
How Do Quantum Computers Work?
All the computing devices rely on a very basic ability to store and manipulate information. The classical computers manipulate individual bits and store information as binary 0 and 1 states. But in quantum computers, that’s not the case. Information is stored in something called qubits. Now, what are these?

Artificial intelligence or A.I is vital in the 21st century global economy. The development of A.I algorithms have made automation critical in almost every field of technology. As we make technological progress, one day, we will eventually have the capacity to build a super intelligence or Artificial general intelligence commonly known as A.G.I. But before that day comes, we have to solve the A.I alignment problem. The development of autonomous weapons seems like a step backwards of that goal. Humanity has to solve the A.I control problem if we want to survive. An A.G.I might decide to exterminate us if it sees us as a threat to its existence. In this video we explain the current development of A.I systems which will lead inevitably to the rise of an artificial general intelligence
Decentralized Train Network Demo | Blockchain AI | Fetch.ai
Fetch.ai is a world-changing project, a “decentralized digital world” where autonomous software agents act on the behalf of their owners, or themselves, to get useful economic work done. We are a dynamic, fast-growing international team of experts and forward-thinking technology enthusiasts working on the convergence of blockchain, AI and multi-agent systems. We are building technology for both today and tomorrow – a collective super-intelligence on top of decentralized economic internet built with a highly scalable next-generation distributed ledger technology. Combined with machine learning, this delivers the predictions and infrastructure to power the future economy. Developing fascinating and promising new technology, we have a team of top class software engineers and researchers working across multiple fields (multi agent systems, machine learning, economics, cryptography). To further improve our solutions and deploy them in real life scenarios, we also collaborate with top academics and corporate partners across the world . We believe our technology will improve how we communicate, it will give voice and new opportunities to people, organizations and the Internet of Things, effectively democratizing the space and improving lives of citizens.
Inside the Lab Where Robots Run Their Own Experiments
This is a laboratory run by robots with virtually no human intervention as part of an industry-wide push toward automation. The robot scientists can be found executing thousands of experiments, searching for life-saving drugs, and building synthetic organisms. In this Focal Point, we take a look inside Strateos, a robotic cloud lab that is fundamentally reimagining scientific discovery. We sit down with both Ben Miles, Head of Product at Strateos Cloud Lab, and Robert Murphy, Head of Computational Biology at Carnegie Mellon University, to learn more about what automation could mean for the future of scientific research. Find out how these labs run by robots can transform how we develop new therapies, and even offer more reliable results, in this Focal Point.
Elon Musk’s Plan To Merge Humans With A.I.
Musk suggests that Neuralink will facilitate his mission to merge humans with artificial intelligence – and subsequently save the human race from AI
