South Korea recently announced a 300-million-dollar research and development plan for the robotics industry. It’s part of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. But independent studies estimate 800 million people could be displaced globally by automation and the rise of artificial intelligence in the next decade. And as Joseph Kim reports, in a high-tech economy such as South Korea, the transition could be devastating to the workforce.

AdShares: Decentralized Programmatic
Adshares is the first genuinely decentralized marketplace for programmatic advertising. It is also the most advanced blockchain-based project in the advertising market. We use own blockchain to connect publishers and advertisers and let them make direct deals. Adshares is not about a group or an individual controlling the market, but about creating a decentralized space for the market to grow freely.

Debating IBM’s Artificial Intelligence – BBC Click
Computer scientists around the world are working on ways to make artificial intelligence indistinguishable from humans – with varying degrees of success. One way this is being tested is in debates between people and computers. This week IBM’s AI system was on stage at Cambridge University and Jen Copestake was in the audience to see the results.
Nanotechnology 2.0
Nanotechnology may one day allow the molecular fabrication of many products from basic raw materials. This video by futurist Christopher Barnatt explains current “top down” nanotechnologies, as well as potential future “bottom-up” innovations in molecular self-assembly.
What Is A DAO?
This video on decentralized autonomous organizations outlines one of the most power blockchain applications available.
Robots are dead – long live the Robots – SingularityNET and Hanson Robotics
Sophia the Robot and Philip K. Dick are joined on the Web Summit mainstage by Dr David Hanson from Hanson robotics and Dr Ben Goertzel from SingularityNET, where they discuss the advances in social AI and robotics at the Summit 2019 in Lisbon.
Introduction: What is Nanotechnology?
The Shared Materials Instrumentation Facility (SMIF) is the Pratt School of Engineering’s core facility that enables materials, devices, and integrated systems research at Duke University in a variety of fields that include nanotechnology, biomaterials and biomedical engineering, information sciences, optoelectronics, sensor technology, and renewable energy. SMIF is housed in the Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences (FCIEMAS). The facility consists of 7,000 square feet of clean room fabrication space, and nearly 3,000 square feet of specialized laboratory space for characterization and imaging equipment. SMIF is part of the Research Triangle Nanotechnology Network (RTNN) in partnership with similar facilities at North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The RTNN is one of 16 organizations nationwide that comprise the National Science Foundation sponsored National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) program.
