This document discusses the future of human-machine relationships and intelligent machines. It explores how the relationship started with simple machines and has progressed to more complex and intelligent machines. The future may see even more human-like machines that we can form emotional connections with. The document also summarizes precedents like projects that explored human-robot interaction and relationships. The overall goal is to better understand future interactions between humans and intelligent machines.
Artificial Intelligence or the Brainization of the EconomyWilly Braun
60 years ago, John McCarthy used for the first time the term “Artificial Intelligence”. What does it mean and how has it evolved since 1956?

Real-time Anomaly Detection for Real-time Data Needs: Much of the world’s data is becoming streaming, time-series data, where anomalies give significant information in often-critical situations. Examples abound in domains such as finance, IT, security, medical, and energy. Yet detecting anomalies in streaming data is a difficult task, requiring detectors to process data in real-time, not batches, and learn while simultaneously making predictions. Are there algorithms up for the challenge? Which are the most capable? The Numenta Anomaly Detection Benchmark (NAB) attempts to provide a controlled and repeatable environment of open-source tools to test and measure anomaly detection algorithms on streaming data. The perfect detector would detect all anomalies as soon as possible, trigger no false alarms, work with real-world time-series data across a variety of domains, and automatically adapt to changing statistics. These characteristics are formalized in NAB, using a custom scoring algorithm to evaluate the detectors on a benchmark dataset with labeled, real-world time-series data. We present these components, and describe the end-to-end scoring process. We give results and analyses for several algorithms to illustrate NAB in action. The goal for NAB is to provide a standard, open-source framework for which we can compare and evaluate different algorithms for detecting anomalies in streaming data.

Hierarchical Temporal Memory: Computing Like the Brain - Matt Taylor, NumentaWithTheBest
Most of today's AI technologies are extensions of ANN models that were envisioned twenty years ago. While they have some amazing capabilities, they are not truly intelligent. To attain truly intelligent machines, our approach is to understand the only thing we can all agree is intelligent today: the human brain. HTM is an AI technology that is biologically-constrained. All major algorithms at work in an HTM system were uncovered by years of intensive neuroscience research. In this presentation, I'll describe the major mechanism of HTM at a high level, and lay a path towards the future of truly intelligent machines. http://numenta.com/open-source-community/

Learning from Stories: Making AI Programming Accessible - Mark RiedlWithTheBest
The future is not distributed evenly. How do we take artificial intelligence, which has the potential to reshape the world, and make it accessible to non-programmers and non-AI experts? We present a technique called "Learning from Stories” in which reinforcement learning agents and robots can be taught how to act by telling them stories in natural language.

by Samantha Adams, Met Office.
Originally purely academic research fields, Machine Learning and AI are now definitely mainstream and frequently mentioned in the Tech media (and regular media too).
We’ve also got the explosion of Data Science which encompasses these fields and more. There’s a lot of interesting things going on and a lot of positive as well as negative hype. The terms ML and AI are often used interchangeably and techniques are also often described as being inspired by the brain.
In this talk I will explore the history and evolution of these fields, current progress and the challenges in making artificial brains

The Relationship Of AI With Human Thinking.pptxssusere5168c
Do you believe you make all your decisions on your own? Not, even as I am writing this blog. Artificial Intelligence (AI) may shape our judgments. We make several decisions daily, such as where to go, what to eat, where to shop, what to read, and so on. This helps humans in all aspects of their daily lives. You might listen to someone or browse for reviews to help you decide. To make a choice. But what if the information is biased?
The Blue Brain Project is the first attempt to reverse-engineer the brain of
mammalian, so that simulations of the function of brain can be understood. BLUE BRAIN is the
name of the world's first virtual brain, which is a machine that can function as human brain.
Today, scientists are attempting to create an artificial brain that can think, respond, take decision,
and store anything in memory as like humans do. The primary goal of this project is to preserve
the knowledge, intelligence, personalities, feelings and memories of a person that can be used for
the development of the human society.
Imagine a day when you will be able to transfer your memories onto a computer. A day when you will have a ‘backup’ of everything that is stored in your head right now.

Can Artificial Intelligence Replace Our Friends And Teachers?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used to help people make decisions. It collects and analyses huge amounts of data and provides us with conclusions. AI not only allows us to direct, purchase, and so on. But it also allows us to make more critical decisions about our current societal benefits, such as medical treatment, verdicts, health insurance, and so on.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Exploring the future of the
human-machine relationship
What if machines could think?

• Path/Maze – correct path only be
“seen” by the computer
• Lights indicate when the user has
followed the correct path.
Electric Wheelchair

See if you can work with the computer to navigate the invisible maze
3. Overview
• The human-machine relationship
– When did it start?
– Where is it now?
– What is it’s future?
– Precedents of our project
4. When did it start?
• A machine is any device that uses energy to perform some activity
• Machines owe their lineage to the advent of the first tools, which
used the energy provided by humans (or gravity) to perform tasks.
Simple Machines:
• Over time, and with new forms of energy, the sophistication and
complexity of machines has increased.
5. When did it start? (con’t)
• Parallel with the increased complexity of machines runs
the increased complexity of our relationship with them.
• The more human-like and intelligent the machine, then
the more we relate and bond to it.
• We design machines as much as they design us.
– Machines influence the world we are in and therefore influence
our identities.
– Eg. Machines assist in food production, allowing us more leisure
time.
6. Where is it now?
• The sophistication of machines is incredible.
• They are able to perform human tasks but at greater
speeds with greater accuracy (and less complaints!).
7. Where is it now? (con’t)
• We are at a point where we are forming more meaningful
relationships with machines.
• This is due to their increased intelligence and their increased
human-like behaviours.
• It is clear from these examples that we can (and are) foster human
connections with machines that act and behave with human-like
behaviours.
8. What is the future?
• As machines become even more intelligent and more
human-like how will we interact with them?
• Will we have emotional connections that rival or exceed
our emotional connections with other humans?
• Will machines ultimately become exactly like us or will
they even become us?
• Philosophies of Artificial Intelligence & Technology
Futurists seek to answer exactly these type of questions
9. What is the future? (con’t)
• Artificial Intelligence: Influences and Philosophies
– Computing Power
Law of accelerating returns (Ray
Kurzweil)
• Moores law
number of transistors that can be
placed on an integrated circuit has
increased exponentially.
10. What is the future? (con’t)
• Can we achieve artificial intelligence?
– Many of the machines that we have shown you previously display
forms of what easily can be regarded as intelligence.
– For this reason John Searle defined two different forms of AI:
– "strong AI": A physical symbol system can have a mind and
mental states (consciousness)
– "weak AI": A physical symbol system can act intelligently
(problem solving)
– “traditionally, emotions have been seen as the antithesis of
intelligence” – Michio Kaku
– “our emotional intelligence, in my opinion, is the cutting edge of
human intelligence” – Ray Kurzweil
11. What is the future? (con’t)
• Computational neuroscience - Brain Simulation
"if the nervous system obeys the laws of physics and chemistry, which we have every
reason to suppose it does, then .... we ... ought to be able to reproduce the behavior of
the nervous system with some physical device." - Marvin Minsky
– Advancements in brain scanning technologies such as MRI’s have allowed for a
greater understanding of the brain
– Jeff Hawkings
» The human processing system and computer processing systems are
fundamentally different.
» This is why problems we find hard, such as mathematical theorems, a computer
finds easy.
» And problems we find easy, such as pattern recognition, a computer finds hard.
» If we can replicate the way in which the brain processes information then we
might be able to replicate human intelligence, emotions, feelings etc.
12. What is the future? (con’t)
Blue Brain
• aims to construct a biophysically
detailed simulation of a human
brain down to the molecular level.
• The initial goal of the project,
completed in December 2006,
was the simulation of a rat
neocortical column.
• The neocortical column is about 2
mm tall, has a diameter of 0.5
mm and contains about 60,000
neurons in humans (10,000 in
rats)
Numenta
• Numenta is creating a new type
of computing technology modeled
on the structure and operation of
the neocortex.
• The technology is called
Hierarchical Temporal Memory,
or HTM
• An HTM system is not
programmed in the traditional
sense; instead it is trained.
• Sensory data is applied to the
bottom of the hierarchy of an
HTM system and the HTM
automatically discovers the
underlying patterns in the sensory
input.
13. What is the future? (con’t)
• Rodney Brooks (we are not special!)
– When you break us down to our fundamental components we are no
different to machines.
– We are both made from molecules which interact together according to
well defined laws.
– Therefore, if we can replicate the structure of a brain from the molecular
level, then there is no reason why machines can’t have a conscience,
emotions and feelings.
• But will we become machines?
– “Robots will become more biological and we will become machine.”
BioTechnology
– Cochlear Implants
– Retinal Implants
– Memory Implants?
– Leg replacements?
– Brain Transplants?
works by directly stimulating any functioning auditory
nerves inside the cochlea with an electric field.
15. Helpless Robot
• The Helpless Robot is an artificial personality that
responds to the behavior of humans by using its
electronic voice which speaks a total of 512
phrases.
• The speech that is delivered depends on its
present and past experience of "emotions" ranging
from boredom, frustration, arrogance, and
overstimulation.
• Norman White - “I've attempted to create an artificial personality. It
is the most literal in a long line of works where I've tried to give
blatantly electro-mechanical systems a "life of their own"
16. Sleep Waking
What was the idea behind the work?
• "Sleep Waking" acts as a way to "play-back" dreams.
• hope to investigate one of the possible human-robot relationships.
What was the motivation for producing it?
• More and more robotic technology is being integrated into our society.
• This furthers our experience of reality through agency.
• Robots already go beyond the limitations of our bodies.
• The robot is destined to be essential to our society.
• What will humanity’s relationship be to the robot in the future?
How was it implemented/performed?
• Record brainwave activity and eye movements during REM sleep,
• This determines the robot’s behaviour, movements and head positions
17. Fish Bird
What was the idea behind the work?
• Artwork that investigates the dialogical possibilities between
two robots.
• It confronts major continuing issues and concerns regarding
interaction through the human/machine interface.
• The work both requires and fosters notions of trust and shared intimacy
How was it implemented/performed?
• It uses wheelchairs that can communicate with each other and with their audience through
the modalities of movement and written text.
• The manner in which the participants move in the space, their proximity to the robots, and
the time spent with them determines the behaviour of the robots towards them.
• Human participants try to read the ‘body language’ of the robots and visa versa.
• a lack of audience perception of the underlying technological apparatus focuses attention
on the poetics and aesthetics of the artwork, and promotes a deeper psychological and/or
experimental involvement of the participant/viewer.
18. Conclusion
• In our project we are aiming to explore our (not too
distant) future relationships with machines
• We aim to do this by simulating a situation in which a
machine displays independent thought’s and actions.
• By being confronted with this "reality" we hope that the
participants will gain insights into the future of human-
machine relationships.
• This should encourage them to reflect upon their own
personal emotions and attitudes towards machines as
well as their thoughts on what makes us human.
