The future of autonomous systems - and the future of futurism

Dr.Roey Tsezana has developed an artificial intelligence tool that studies the research process of futurists. Specifically, his own. He receives as his main input the field he is supposed to research, and the target year for which he is
This is how induction cookers work, including a cross-section showing their interior. The figure shows the following components: the ceramic glass surface, the induction coil below it, the power supply unit, a ferromagnetic pot on the stove. The arrows in the figure indicate the magnetic field created by the induction coil and heating the pot. The image was prepared using DALEE and is not used as a scientific image. The text that appears in it is also in the best DALEE tradition "about".

All attempts to regulate the field of artificial intelligence were at best amateurish, states the Knesset's research division. New regulations must be built and an adequate budget allocated to them

According to estimates, by 2014 there will be around 2 billion computers in use in the world. The energy consumption of such an amount is equal to the energy required for a country like India for a whole year. The European Union estimates that the consumption of electric current in standby mode in various devices reaches up to about 10% of the consumption in the countries of the Union. In a short time, with the proliferation of computers and mobile devices in Europe, their annual electricity consumption will reach the level of the aggregate consumption of Austria, the Czech Republic and Portugal together.
