The first comic created by artificial intelligence - and it's excellent

Less than a month ago, the first comic book produced without illustrators was published. In fact, only two names appear on the main page of the book. The writer of the story is Steve Coulson, and the illustrator is MidJourney: an artificial intelligence that knows how to produce drawings on demand

The robot is funny so we laugh

  • One response
Scientists have created a robot that empathizes with humans and can laugh with them. The researchers hoped to use their system to improve natural conversations between robots and people. However, the ability of robots to understand humor is probably still a long way off

Was the moon landing faked? New images make us understand the world anew

or not? In a world where pictures, documents and soon even movies can be created with the ease of a click of a button and a stray thought, we must learn and teach our children to be careful of blindly believing in the evidence presented to them

The robot that learns to walk by itself

Dreamer managed to learn to walk so fast. Babies need long months of training before they are able to walk steadily. The four-legged robot that guided Dreamer in the experiments, could walk, maintain balance and even try to escape from the laboratory, in just one hour

Artificial intelligences all over the world claim to have consciousness

In the last month, artificial intelligences around the world began to declare that they have self-awareness, and even argued with their interlocutors and tried to convince them that they have human rights. And all because of one Christian priest - who happens to also work at Google (update - fired in the meantime)

Autonomous decision-making under conditions of uncertainty

  • No comments
This problem in artificial intelligence is also called "belief space planning". Solving this problem, i.e. calculating the set of optimal actions to achieve the goal, requires an estimate of the potential actions under some reward or price function such as distance to the goal or a measure of uncertainty
