DARPA's ASIMOV seeks to develop Ethical Standards for Autonomous Systems
Thursday, 02 January 2025 05:40
CoVar, a prominent developer of AI and machine learning solutions for the Department of Defense, has secured a multi-year contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to contribute to the Autonomy Standards and Ideals with Military Operational Values (ASIMOV) program. This initiative aims to establish a quantifiable framework for assessing the ethical readiness of autonomo Are we ready for the ethical challenges of AI and robots

Artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-enabled robots are rapidly integrating into everyday life, evolving from simple tools into entities that resemble human partners. This transformation brings critical ethical and legal challenges, ranging from privacy and safety to the regulation of increasingly autonomous systems.
The *Cambridge Handbook of the Law, Policy, and Regulation for Human-Robot A call for collaboration in solar energy meteorology research
Thursday, 02 January 2025 05:40
Solar energy has become a leading renewable energy source, renowned for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness in reducing dependency on fossil fuels. However, optimizing solar energy production presents challenges that extend beyond traditional engineering solutions, prompting the rise of a specialized field known as solar energy meteorology.

The pursuit of nuclear fusion as a clean and abundant energy source has made significant strides with the advent of inertial confinement fusion (ICF). This technology relies on compressing deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel to extreme temperatures and pressures to initiate fusion. While neutrons generated in this process primarily contribute to electricity production, alpha particles remain in the fuel Passed the Turing Test living in Turing Futures

A recent perspective published in the Nov. 13 issue of Intelligent Computing has highlighted how modern artificial intelligence systems have fulfilled Alan Turing's vision of machines capable of learning from experience and engaging in human-like conversations. Authored by Bernardo Goncalves of the University of Sao Paulo and University of Cambridge, the paper explores how transformer-based AI s SpaceX launch surge helps set new global launch record in 2024

Sun emits three powerful solar flares
Wednesday, 01 January 2025 18:47
The Sun unleashed three significant solar flares on December 29, 2024, recorded at peak times of 2:18 a.m. ET, 11:14 p.m. ET, and 11:31 p.m. ET. These events were documented by the Solar Ultraviolet Imager operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a continuous observer of solar activity.

Sols 4402-4415: Rover Decks and Sequence Calls for the Holidays
Tuesday, 31 December 2024 23:17
Welcome to the 2024 holiday plan for Curiosity! This year we're spanning 14 sols to last us through the Earth new year. And this is my fourth year operating Mastcam during the holidays (throwback to 2023 Marsmas!). I already knew to expect a long day, so I got my lunch prepared - blew Mars a kiss in the pre-dawn sky - and headed to work at 0600 Pacific time to start planning prep.
