Increasingly rapid development of IT and AI means a growing demand for employees who are constantly poached from universities. Although the problem of financial conditions in the case of doctoral studies may seem down-to-earth, it is far from being unimportant, says professor Krzysztof Krawiec, Ponznan University of Technology, in an interview conducted by Maciej Chojnowski.
Many people say we don’t understand consciousness. Let them speak for themselves. I believe we’re getting to know it better and better. We’re able to use our knowledge about the brain to build better artificial intelligence step-by-step. Maciej Chojnowski talks to Professor Włodzisław Duch.
Imagine today a new Marx or a new Aristotle or a new Kant being born. What would they be thinking about? I think they would be engaging in all the digital transformations, innovation and technologies. Prof. Luciano Floridi in conversation with Maciej Chojnowski.
It can spot any scratch or dent. It is capable of detecting any oil leak or source of corrosion. It is even smart enough to check the condition of your tires and tell if the pressure is in line with producer’s recommendations. An Israeli start-up, UVeye, uses deep learning to support professionals in effective vehicle inspection.
Excitement over capabilities of digital technology must not drown out fundamental questions about relations between a man and intelligent machines. The stakes are high – our autonomy and humanity.
Perhaps we will be able to develop a culture in which everyone learns for its own sake and for the sake of having a richer inner life. But I think this not necessarily the most likely outcome of current trends. The danger of enfeeblement is real. Prof. Stuart Russell in conversation with Maciej Chojnowski.
In 5-10 years, companies designed as completely autonomous may appear. The majority of their operational processes will be done automatically and a human will have supervisory and managerial roles – says Andrzej Sobczak in a conversation with Maciej Chojnowski.
There is a borderless system of technology and we’re trying to use bordered laws to deal with it. I wonder if the authority of the state will be able to get anything done anymore – says Jamie Bartlett, the author of “The People vs Tech”, in conversation with Maciej Chojnowski.
Ethical artificial intelligence is to be the product made in Europe. An example? An intelligent vacuum cleaner or an intelligent fridge which can be trusted. An appropriate test will verify, whether all the rules were adhered to at the level of AI design, implementation, and usage. Maciej Chojnowski talks to Robert Kroplewski.
