AI in space! NASA to roll out ChatGPT-like chatbot for astronauts to talk to spacecraft

[ad_1] ChatGPT has taken over every aspect of human activity imaginable on Earth and now it is spreading its tentacles to space too. NASA engineers are working on the development of an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant. It is likely to be similar to ChatGPT. Amazingly, just like in science fiction novels, it will enable astronauts to have conversations with their spacecraft. For example, this advancement in communication capabilities brings to mind the iconic depiction of HAL 9000, the supercomputer in the science fiction novel "2001: A Space Odyssey" by Arthur C, Clarke - it conversed with mission pilots on a spacecraft bound for Jupiter.The focus of NASA's efforts is the Lunar Gateway. It is an upcoming "extraterrestrial" space station scheduled for launch in November 2024. This ...

Cyborg alert! AI robotic arms that can be attached to humans engineered in Japan

[ad_1] In your very busy day, have you not thought that an extra arm, or two, may come in very handy to finish the tasks at hand? Well, now you can have them, literally!Humans and technology share a very symbiotic relationship, where humans have constantly explored and tried to innovate the way we interact with it. Till now, help was limited. Smartphones and laptops introduced a more visually and touch-oriented interface, while recently virtual reality headsets like the Meta Quest Pro VR extended the boundaries of visual interactions with tech. Now, a Japanese robotics firm has turned to artificial intelligence, Jizai Arms, to engineer AI-powered robotic arms that make our interaction with technology even more seamless. Like taking a page out of science fiction, Jizai Arms has designed ...

Older adults perceive AI as more human-like than younger adults: Study

[ad_1] Artificial Intelligence is becoming more prevalent in our daily lives. While these technologies primarily assist us, they may sometimes be utilised in negative ways, such as in fraudulent or scam calls, thus we must be able to recognise them.According to a recent Baycrest study, older persons tend to be less capable than their younger counterparts to distinguish between computer-generated (AI) speech and human speech. "Findings from this study on computer-generated AI speech suggest that older adults may be at a higher risk of being taken advantage of," says Dr. Bjorn Herrmann, Baycrest's Canada Research Chair in Auditory Aging, Scientist at Baycrest's Rotman Research Institute and lead author of this study. "While this area of research is still in its infancy, further findings c...

Competing With Robots Is Making Work Worse

[ad_1] It's said that as work becomes increasingly automated thanks to artificial intelligence, our special human traits — empathy and humor, creativity and kindness — will become only more valuable.I wonder. What we've seen so far doesn't leave me optimistic. Instead of embracing what makes us different from machines, we humans often seem to be trying to imitate them. Too many of us skip lunch, eschew breaks and work more feverishly, as if we're just brains attached to rather inefficient, fleshy hardware — the bodies that (irritatingly) get sick, break down and require regular feeding and rest. Or we try to do too many things at once — texting while driving, emailing during meetings — as if we're a laptop that can run multiple programs instead of a human that can focus on only one thi...
