A Buddhist temple in Beijing built a robotic monk to spread the word

So cute.

Scared of superintelligent AI? You should be, says neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris -- and not just in some theoretical way. We're going to build superhuman machines, says Harris, but we haven't yet grappled with the problems associated with creating something that may treat us the way we treat ants.

Everyday Illustrations

NYC-based illustrator Bella McGoldrick creates hyper realistic drawings of everyday items. Using colour pencils, Bella creates the pieces often large than there original sizes. All of Bella’s work can be purchased as original pieces or limited run prints.

Unzipped building 

British sculptor Alex Chinneck has unzipped the facade of a building in Milan for his first art installation in Italy. In collaboration with Philip Morris’ IQOS brand, Chinneck worked to playfully transform the building’s architecture. Using the chunky masonry that is typical of Italian architecture, Chinneck created the zipper and “peeled” back a layer of the building to reveal a glowing light that alternates between white and blue.

The EO is a robotic car with highly modular and flexible features. The concept electric car was created and engineered by the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence. It features a 54V LiFePo4 battery, can travel a maximum speed of 65 km/hr, and has a 5000N 1x Folding Servo engine. The EO also has autonomous parking capabilities—regardless of the traffic or road conditions—thanks to the auto-navigation that runs on the car’s computer. In addition, it can drive sideways and shrink to almost half its size to enter into tight spaces.

The Rise of AI Makes Emotional Intelligence More Important

The booming growth of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), like most transformational technologies, is both exciting and scary. It’s exciting to consider all the ways our lives may improve, from managing our calendars to making  medical diagnoses, but it’s scary to consider the social and personal implications — and particularly the implications for our careers. As machine learning continues to grow, we all need to develop new skills in order to differentiate ourselves. But which ones?

It’s long been known that AI and automation/robotics will change markets and workforces. Self-driving cars will force over three thousand truck drivers to seek new forms of employment, and robotic production lines like Tesla’s will continue to eat away at manufacturing jobs, which are currently at 12 million and falling. But this is just the beginning of the disruption. As AI improves, which is happening quickly, a much broader set of “thinking” rather than “doing” jobs will be affected. We’re talking about jobs, that, until the last few years, we couldn’t imagine being done without the participation of an actual, trained human being.  Jobs like teacher, doctor, financial advisor, stockbroker, marketer, and business consultant.

Some people may say that we will never trust machines with important decisions such as the management of our health and money, but this is twentieth century thinking.  But a new generation is engaging with smart machines that they trust, and often prefer.  Further, it’s hard for anyone to argue with results.  IBM’s Watson is already cracking medical cases that stump doctors, and investors are fleeing expensive, actively managed funds for better-performing passive ones. The value of some of our most prized career paths is already being eroded.

Those that want to stay relevant in their professions will need to focus on skills and capabilities that artificial intelligence has trouble replicating — understanding, motivating, and interacting with human beings.  A smart machine might be able to diagnose an illness and even recommend treatment better than a doctor.  It takes a person, however, to sit with a patient, understand their life situation (finances, family, quality of life, etc.), and help determine what treatment plan is optimal.

Similarly, a smart machine may be able to diagnose complex business problems and recommend actions to improve an organization.  A human being, however, is still best suited to jobs like spurring the leadership team to action, avoiding political hot buttons, and identifying savvy individuals to lead change.

It’s these human capabilities that will become more and more prized over the next decade.  Skills like persuasion, social understanding, and empathy are going to become differentiators as artificial intelligence and machine learning take over our other tasks.  Unfortunately, these human-oriented skills have generally been viewed as second priority in terms of training and education.  We’ve all experienced the doctor, financial planner, or consultant who is more focused on his or her reports and data than on our unique situations and desires.
