This document discusses the implications of robots and automation for the labor market and human jobs. It explores whether robots will substitute for human labor or complement it. While robots may substitute for human tasks, different tasks are often complements. The document also examines the challenges of developing human-level artificial intelligence and how rapidly technology could advance, with one estimate that overall economic growth enabled by technology could double every month.

Impact of technology on employment
The document discusses the impact of technology on employment, noting that 320,000 industrial robots were sold in the last two years. It shows that the majority of jobs are now in the services sector rather than agriculture or industry. The fastest growing jobs are those related to software engineering and computer support, while traditional jobs like butchers, secretaries, and cashiers are among the most vulnerable to automation. Employment in manufacturing has declined both in the US and worldwide since 1980 as technologies have replaced some human roles.
Robots
Will robots take our jobs? A report from the World Economic Forum found that while 7.1 million jobs may be lost due to automation, 2.1 million new jobs will be created, resulting in a net loss of over 5 million jobs by 2020 across major economies. The drivers of increased robotization include technological advances in areas like machine learning, 3D printing, and quantum computing, as well as the increased productivity, lower costs, and improved safety that robots provide compared to human workers. Nearly every industry like transportation, farming, healthcare, and IT will be impacted. Proposed solutions include retraining workers, incentivizing lifelong learning, and political actions like a universal basic income.
Technology labor ppt
Technology is automating many jobs and replacing human labor. While this increases efficiency and profits, it also eliminates some jobs, especially lower-skilled positions. It creates a need for new highly-skilled technical jobs, but many displaced workers may struggle to retrain. The effects are a growing divide between highly-skilled workers who benefit from new opportunities, and others who face unemployment or an urgent need to gain new technical skills.
Robots Replacing Humans: Our Automated World
Robots have now replaced many daily functions of humans. Our world has become more automated than ever with machines that do some amazing tasks - functionally and just for fun.
I Robot. You Unemployed
Robots are often portrayed as substitutes for human labor in fiction and early economic theories. However, modern economics views automation as more of a complement to human labor. While robots may substitute for specific human tasks, different tasks are generally complementary. As robots improve, they will likely substitute for more human tasks but humans will still maintain advantages in performing complex mental tasks. This could lead to both changes in the supply and demand for human labor. Estimates suggest robot capabilities may progress rapidly, potentially doubling capabilities every 1-2 months, but fully replicating human-level intelligence may take centuries to achieve.

Popular talk from ted
Robin Hanson describes a possible future where machines called "ems" emulate human brains and think, feel, and work just like humans. These ems could run on superfast computers, copying themselves to multitask and take over the global economy, leaving humans with no choice but to retire. However, Hanson notes that for ems to become a reality, we would need advances in cheap, fast parallel computing; detailed scans of individual human brains; and computer models of how different brain cells work and interact.

Kim Solez Singularity explained promoted winter 2015
The document discusses the concept of the technological singularity, which refers to the hypothetical future emergence of artificial superintelligence that greatly surpasses human intellectual abilities. It provides an overview of the main ideas, including the three schools of belief about the singularity (accelerating change, event horizon, intelligence explosion). It also discusses the four main paths to the singularity, including creating an AI that exceeds human intelligence. The document summarizes the history of ideas around the singularity concept from the 1800s onward and perspectives from thinkers like Kurzweil and Hutter on whether the singularity is negotiable or inevitable.
Transhumanismo
The document discusses several topics related to posthumanism and transhumanism. It first examines utopian and dystopian visions of humanism from historical and technological perspectives. It then discusses concepts like the singularity event, extended bodies and minds, uploading consciousness, and hybrid meta-beings. It notes debates around enhancing and modifying the brain and questions what defines humanity. The document critiques the assumptions of arguments for an inevitable superintelligent AI, noting that intelligence is relative to human problem-solving abilities and experience. It conjectures that simulating qualitative experience requires first constructing societies of interconnected minds.

Artificial Intelligence Robotics (AI) PPT by Aamir Saleem Ansari
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence exhibited by machines. In computer science, an ideal "intelligent" machine is a flexible rational agent that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at an arbitrary goal.Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is likely to be applied when a machine uses cutting-edge techniques to competently perform or mimic "cognitive" functions that we intuitively associate with human minds, such as "learning" and "problem solving".The colloquial connotation, especially among the public, associates artificial intelligence with machines that are "cutting-edge" (or even "mysterious"). This subjective borderline around what constitutes "artificial intelligence" tends to shrink over time; for example, optical character recognition is no longer perceived as an exemplar of "artificial intelligence" as it is nowadays a mundane routine technology.Modern examples of AI include computers that can beat professional players at Chess and Go, and self-driving cars that navigate crowded city streets.
AI research is highly technical and specialized, and is deeply divided into subfields that often fail to communicate with each other. Some of the division is due to social and cultural factors: subfields have grown up around particular institutions and the work of individual researchers. AI research is also divided by several technical issues. Some subfields focus on the solution of specific problems. Others focus on one of several possible approaches or on the use of a particular tool or towards the accomplishment of particular applications.
The History of Artificial Intelligence in KRCT
Artificial intelligence (AI) has captured the imagination of everyone around the world for decades. From the early conceptualization of intelligent robots to the recent advancements in machine learning, the history of AI is a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance.

Humans versus robots
As humans explore space, robots have preceded and will accompany them. While fictional robots capture our imagination as companions, current space robots are more like appliances and tools that can perform tasks in extreme environments. Whether to use robots or humans for a space mission depends on what each are best suited for based on their capabilities and costs. Both robots and humans have advantages, so future space exploration will involve synergistic human-robot partnerships, with robots augmenting human missions to make tasks easier, safer, and more cost-effective.
Introduction to AI.pptx

Mary Shelley, Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, 1818
Boris Karloff in Frankenstein in 1931 directed by James Whale
Mary Shelley first published Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus 1818. the novel allegorizes the Romantic obsession with discovering the power or principle of life. Ideas about a life power were consistent with the scientific understanding of the day. Darwin himself spoke of an organizing “spirit of animation” in his Zoonomia; or, The Laws of Organic Life, in which he stated “the world itself might have been generated, rather than created.”
Dr. Frankenstein picked all the parts for his monster based on their beauty, but when it comes to life, the monster is unbearably ugly. “I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body…the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart. Unable to endure the aspect of the being I had created, I rushed out of the room”.

Whether to use robots or humans for a space mission depends on what each are best suited for based on their capabilities and costs. Both robots and humans have advantages, so future space exploration will involve synergistic human-robot partnerships, with robots augmenting human missions to make tasks easier, safer, and more cost-effective.

Mary Shelley, Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, 1818
Boris Karloff in Frankenstein in 1931 directed by James Whale
Mary Shelley first published Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus 1818. the novel allegorizes the Romantic obsession with discovering the power or principle of life. Ideas about a life power were consistent with the scientific understanding of the day. Darwin himself spoke of an organizing “spirit of animation” in his Zoonomia; or, The Laws of Organic Life, in which he stated “the world itself might have been generated, rather than created.”
Dr. Frankenstein picked all the parts for his monster based on their beauty, but when it comes to life, the monster is unbearably ugly. “I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body…the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart. Unable to endure the aspect of the being I had created, I rushed out of the room”.

Two definitions of AI:
“The use of computer programs and programming techniques to cast light on the principles of intelligence in general and human thought in particular.
--Margaret Boden
“The science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by humans.”
-Marvin Minsky

Working assumption: all cognition is computable
Question:
Is what’s not yet known to be computable actually computable?
if so, then what?
if not, why not, and what does that tell us about cognition?

Who was Alan Turing?
B. 1912 London, attended King’s College, Cambridge and Princeton University. He studied mathematics and logic (he hadn’t invented computer science yet)
At 23, he invented the “Turing machine” and published “On Computable Numbers in 1936, the first and most important paper in comp. sci.
During WWII, solved the German Enigma code by use of electromechanical devices—a precursor to the computer
Laid the foundation for major subfields of comp sci: theory of computation, design of hardware and software, and the study of artificial intelligence

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.

https://app.box.com/s/qhtvq32h4ybf9t49ku85x0n3xl4jhr15LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation results
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
