Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

It will be impossible to control superintelligent AI 29.09.2022

The idea of overthrowing humanity with artificial intelligence has been discussed for decades, and in 2021 scientists delivered their verdict on whether high-level computer superintelligence can be controlled.

The catch is that in order to control a superintelligence that is far beyond human understanding, it will be necessary to simulate this superintelligence, which can be analyzed and controlled. But if people are not able to understand this, then it is impossible to create such a simulation.

Rules like "don't hurt people" can't be set if people don't understand what scenarios AI has to offer. Once a computer system is running at a level beyond the capabilities of our programmers, then no more limits can be set.

The superintelligence presents a fundamentally different problem than those usually studied under the slogan of "robot ethics". This is due to the fact that the superintelligence is multifaceted and, therefore, potentially able to mobilize a variety of resources to achieve goals that are potentially incomprehensible to humans, not to mention so that they can be controlled.

Part of the team's reasoning came from the halting problem posed by Alan Turing in 1936. The problem is to know if the computer program will come up with an output and an answer (so it will stop) or just loop around trying to find it.

Scholars noted, as Turing proved with clever math, while we may know this for some specific programs, it is logically impossible to find a way that would allow us to know this for every potential program that could ever be written. This brings us back to AI, which, in a superintelligent state, could simultaneously hold in its memory all possible computer programs.

According to the scientists, any program written to prevent AI from harming humans and destroying the world, for example, can decide (and stop) whether or not it is mathematically impossible to be absolutely sure anyway, which means that its can't be contained. The scientists said the alternative to teaching the AI some ethics and telling it not to destroy the world - something no algorithm can be absolutely sure of - is to limit the capabilities of the superintelligence.

“The study also rejected this idea, suggesting that it would limit the possibilities of AI. The argument is that if we are not going to use it to solve problems beyond human capabilities, then why create it at all? If we are going to move forward with AI "we may not even know when a superintelligence beyond our control will appear, such is its incomprehensibility. This means that we need to start asking serious questions about which direction we are moving in," the scientists noted.
