The dawn of a Superintelligence or the process of the creation of artificial general intelligence has often been described as a digital metamorphosis. By seeking better and cheaper technology, we are inevitably fueling the process that will eventually give rise to a superintelligence or AGI. Computer scientists have pointed out that there are only two possibilities why AGI wont emerge. Either we destroy ourselves, or we agree not to pursue better technology. Since the last alternative is quite improbable, one day, if we do not destroy civilization, we will witness the rise of artificial general intelligence. Superintelligent machines pose a unique threat to humanity if our values are not aligned. One solution to the apparent Fermi paradox could be the misaligned values between artificial life and biological life. The development of AI, in particular Strong AI or General AI most often referred as AGI could also be the architect of a Utopian world. However we can not afford for a best case scenario by sitting on our hands. We have to tread carefully in these unfamiliar digital waters and put the right systems and regulations into place. There is also hope for humanity in the sense of us merging with intelligent machines into a symbiotic relationship. The dawn of artificial general intelligence and aligning our values with such an AGI which is also known as the AI control problem, might be the single most important task in the history of our species.
The Technological Singularity
The technological singularity is one of the most popular topics in computer science today. The implications of it are immense, and it could change the course of history. Artificial Intelligence is on the rise, and soon enough, we will have Superintelligence. It’s not slowing down any time soon. What is the technological singularity? When is it coming? Are robots actually a threat? I have a few ideas.
Artificial Intelligence vs Machine Learning vs Deep Learning Explained
This video discusses the basics of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning.
Facebook showed this ad to 95% women. Is that a problem?
In 2019, Facebook settled a lawsuit with civil rights groups following the revelation that advertisers using their platform could use the targeting options to exclude many specific demographics from seeing their ads. It’s now more difficult for an unscrupulous advertiser to use Facebook’s platform to discriminate.
However, even when you remove human bias from the system, Facebook’s ad delivery algorithms can result in biased outcomes. According to research from Northeastern University, Facebook sometimes displays ads to highly skewed audiences based on the content of the ad.
By purchasing ads and inputting neutral targeting options, the researchers found that the algorithmically determined audience for job ads for cleaners, secretaries, nurses, and preschool teachers was mostly women. The job ads for fast food workers, supermarket cashiers, and taxi drivers skewed toward Black users. The studies show that by targeting “relevant” users, these systems can reinforce existing disparities in our interests and our opportunities.
Tesla’s Tiny Robotics Business
Tesla is not just a car company. Long term, Elon Musk is likely to make Tesla an autonomous robotics logistics company with the advent of full self driving autonomous vehicle software and hardware. At the moment, all Tesla’s are large and heavy due to their enormous battery pack technology. However, what if Tesla did a 180 and started creating super small autonomous delivery drones by the late 2020s? If Tesla did this, perhaps they could unlock new revenue growth and net income profits to help their bottom line. Tesla could absolutely dedicate 1 or 2 gigafactories to this idea and exploit their new found autonomous computer hardware and software for the tiny robot revolution. If Tesla did this successfully, perhaps Tesla may be able to solidify itself as the worlds most valuable and profitable company on Earth and in the stock market with its clean energy technology stack…
Artificial Superintelligence Documentary – AGI
This is a short documentary about artificial superintelligence or A.G.I This artificial intelligence 2019 documentary focuses mainly on aritficial general intelligence or as Nick Bostrom and Elon Musk call it a superintelligence. Which is an artificial intelligent agent that surpasses humanity’s thinking capability.
Artificial intelligence on the rise
How will the application of artificial intelligence (AI) integrate with people’s lives and benefit mankind? And to what extent can personal privacy be maintained at the same time? Considering the benefits and potential risks of AI, how should it be regulated? What should be the rules and boundaries?

Machine Learning: Supervised versus Unsupervised – what’s the difference?
Unsupervised learning is an algorithmic way to implement “birds of a feather flock together.” To do supervised learning, you supply the right answers. Not so with unsupervised learning…
Why The United States Is Turning To Recycling Robots
For decades, the United States and other wealthy countries have been dependent on China to buy and process almost half of the world’s plastic waste. Now, stricter recycling standards in China mean its cheaper for some US cities to simply send recyclables to the dump rather than pay a higher fee to process them. That’s why a number of researchers and tech companies are working on robots to make US recycling more efficient. *** Correction *** at 2:19 we describe the capacity of the Mobro 4000 as 3,000 pounds. The actual capacity is 3,000 tons.
