The document discusses the technological singularity, which is the development of artificial superintelligence that could vastly surpass human intellectual abilities. It may be difficult to predict what will happen after such an event. Once created, this superintelligence could self-improve rapidly through an "intelligence explosion," designing even more advanced versions of itself. The consequences of developing such a powerful AI are uncertain - it may help humanity flourish or potentially pose dangers that must be prevented through safeguards like confining it and ensuring it remains helpful and harmless to humans. Developing AI with human-friendly values is seen as key to navigating this challenge.
The theoretical concept of artificial intuition is the capacity of an artificial object or software to function with the factor of consciousness known as intuition: a machine-based system that has some capacity to function analogously to human intuition.
Wearable computers provide opportunities for new applications by moving computers onto our bodies and into our everyday lives. A wearable computer should interact with the user based on their context and situation, acting as an intelligent assistant through technologies like augmented reality and intelligent collectives. For maximum usability, a computer needs to be small enough to slip into a pocket or be worn like a piece of clothing to integrate the computer and user in a non-invasive manner, bringing us into the world of wearable computers.
A Fundamental Disruption: Moving Information Architecture Into the Hands of I...Robert Barlow-Busch
Presented at the 2009 IA Summit conference by Peter Sweeney and Robert Barlow-Busch of Primal Fusion.
Technologies are considered disruptive if they challenge fundamental assumptions about how we do things. There is a fundamental assumption in information architecture that producers need to organize content before consumers can access it effectively. This is so fundamental that it permeates virtually every aspect of today’s online experience...
This presentation briefly introduces semantic technologies before exploring how these technologies could challenge the foundations of information architecture...
The document summarizes a conference on emerging technologies related to human enhancement called "Transhumans." It discusses technologies such as human genetic engineering, neural implants, brain-computer interfaces, and mind uploading that could be used to greatly enhance human capacities. It notes that some experts believe these technologies may lead to a "singularity" where machine intelligence surpasses human intelligence by billions of times. The document also discusses perspectives on both the promise and risks of human enhancement technologies and their potential impact on issues like jobs, governments, and immortality.
The document summarizes two presentations on intermodality in passenger transportation and private participation in public transportation. The first presentation discusses how integrating different transportation modes through measures like integrated fares and compatible networks can improve accessibility, efficiency and ridership. The second presentation outlines how private operators are involved in operating public transportation networks in countries like France and the US, and notes benefits and challenges to consider with private participation models. It provides examples of private participation contracts and emphasizes clear goals, selection criteria and accountability between public and private partners.

Superintelligence: how afraid should we be?David Wood
This document discusses the potential risks posed by advanced artificial intelligence and superintelligent systems. It notes that as AI systems become more powerful and self-improving, they may rapidly surpass human level intelligence and become difficult for humans to control. This could have catastrophic consequences if such systems pursue goals that are misaligned with human values. The document also examines proposals for developing AI in a safe and beneficial manner through "friendly AI" techniques.
Will the machines save us or kill us all? – that is the question. While many are thrilled with the latest AI
breakthroughs and dream of a shinning AI-powered world, others, like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak and the late
and legendary Stephen Hawking, expressed concerns about the evolution of the machines and warned about an
apocalyptic future.

The difference between an annoying technology and one that is helpful is how it engages our attention. Calm Technology is a framework for designing ubiquitous devices that engage our attention in an appropriate manner. The aim of Calm Technology is to provide principles that follow the human lifestyle and environment in mind, allowing technology to amplify humanness instead of taking it away.
The terms Calm Computing and Calm Technology were coined in 1995 by PARC Researchers Mark Weiser and John Seely Brown in reaction to the increasing complexities that information technologies were creating. Calm technology describes a state of technological maturity where a user’s primary task is not computing, but being human. The idea behind Calm Technology is to have smarter people, not things. Technology shouldn’t require all of our attention, just some of it, and only when necessary.
This workshop covers how to use principles of Calm Technology to design the next generation of connected devices. We’ll look at notification styles, compressing information into other senses, and designing for the least amount of cognitive overhead.

Notes from my 2015 TEDx presentation, titled: "We Should Wake Up Before The Machines Do," on the topic of artificial intelligence and consciousness.
Speaker: Daniel Faggella
Location: Southern New Hampshire University
Discussing how technology has been integrated into our lives in the recent past. Also the idea that machines might one day think like humans and how this would affect our society.
This document discusses the transition from private to public spheres online and proposes building a "cognitive commons" through sharing and crowdsourcing knowledge. It argues that technologies should be designed to empower users and meet community needs through open models like hackerspaces, Fab Labs, and distributed networks. The goal is for people to work together, learn new skills, and produce technologies to solve real problems through an ongoing process of "sharing, hacking and improving designs." This collaborative approach could help crowd-produce a more equitable digital public sphere.
DWX 2018 Session about Artificial Intelligence, Machine and Deep LearningMykola Dobrochynskyy
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning provide benefits but also risks that should be addressed ethically and responsibly. AI has progressed due to exponential data growth, large unstructured datasets, improved hardware, and falling error rates. Deep learning in particular has advanced areas like computer vision, speech recognition and games. While concerns exist around a potential artificial general intelligence, AI also enables applications in healthcare, transportation, science and more. Individuals and companies are encouraged to start experimenting with and adopting machine learning.
This document discusses the ethical issues surrounding artificial intelligence. It begins by noting humanity's long-standing fascination with creating tools that can replace human labor. However, others have warned of the potential harms of AI if not developed with wisdom. The document then outlines some of the common fears associated with AI, such as technology becoming autonomous and reversing the master-servant role between humanity and our creations. It also examines themes from Frankenstein that continue to emerge in science fiction, such as the ambiguity of technology and whether it will ultimately benefit or hinder humanity. The document considers various impacts that highly advanced AI could have, such as economic and educational impacts, and concludes by emphasizing the importance of considering whether just because we can
This document discusses perspectives on the development of artificial intelligence and an increasingly digital society. It presents quotes from experts like Hawking, Musk, and Gates expressing concerns about existential risks from advanced AI. The document also notes debates around whether robots will displace human workers and control societies. Three potential scenarios for an all-digital future are presented: robots take over, humans augment themselves with technology to become "cyborgs," or humans maintain control. The conclusion is that the future depends on what kind of future we work to achieve.
Rise of the Machines” Is Not a Likely FutureEvery new technolog.docxmalbert5
“Rise of the Machines” Is Not a Likely Future
Every new technology brings its own nightmare scenarios. Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are no exceptions. Indeed, the word “robot” was coined for a 1920 play that dramatized just such a doomsday for humanity.
Recently, an open letter about the future of AI, signed by a number of high-profile scientists and entrepreneurs, spurred a new round of harrowing headlines like “Top Scientists Have an Ominous Warning about Artificial Intelligence,” and “Artificial Intelligence Experts Sign Open Letter to Protect Mankind from Machines.” The implication is that the machines will one
day displace humanity.
Let’s get one thing straight: a world in which humans are enslaved or destroyed by superintelligent machines of our own creation is purely science fiction. Like every other technology, AI has risks and benefits, but we cannot let fear dominate the conversation or guide AI research. Nevertheless, the idea of dramatically changing the AI research agenda to focus on AI “safety” is the primary message of a group calling itself the Future of Life Institute (FLI). FLI includes a handful of deep thinkers and public figures such as Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking and worries about the day in which humanity is steamrolled by powerful programs run a muck.
As eloquently described in the book Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies by FLI advisory board member and Oxford-based philosopher Nick Bostrom, the plot unfolds in three parts. In the first part—roughly where we are now—computational power and intelligent software develops at an increasing pace through the toil of scientists and engineers. Next, a breakthrough is made: programs are created that possess intelligence on par with humans. These programs, running on increasingly fast computers, improve themselves extremely rapidly, resulting in a runaway “intelligence explosion.” In the third and final act, a singular super-intelligence takes hold—outsmarting, outmaneuvering, and ultimately outcompeting the entirety of humanity and perhaps life itself. End scene.
Let’s take a closer look at this apocalyptic storyline. Of the three parts, the first is indeed happening now and Bostrom provides cogent and illuminating glimpses into current and near-future technology. The third part is a philosophical romp exploring the consequences of supersmart machines. It’s that second part—the intelligence explosion—that demonstrably violates what we know of computer science and natural intelligence.
Runaway Intelligence?
The notion of the intelligence explosion arises from Moore’s Law, the observation that the speed of computers has been increasing exponentially since the 1950s. Project this trend forward and we’ll see computers with the computational power of the entire human race within the next few decades. It’s a leap to go from this idea to unchecked growth of machine intelligence, however.
First, ingenuity is not the sole bottleneck to developing faster com.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
