Aye, robot? Amazingly lifelike humanoid another Star Trek concept well on the way IS DATA Sentient ?

[Cidersomerset]

DATA was a concept that in the future AI's would be created and over the course of
the TV series many moral questions were asked of it and its evolution into a sentient
being which in the end DATA was classed as a new sentient life form. Obviously
DATA was played excellently by a human actor Brent Spiner. There have been
many movies on the subject from Blade Runner to the recent movie Chappie with
lots of good , bad and scary ones in between. But as with a lot of other Science /
Scy -fy concepts robotics and AI's have come a long way and it is only a matter of
time.before they are sentient .

‘With his lively eyebrows, winkled cheeks and eyes that follow you around the room –
this state-of-the-art robotic head is menacingly lifelike.The humanoid, known as
Ham, has been drawing in crowds with his incredible range of facial expressions at
an electronics event in Hong Kong this week.The head, designed by American
robotics designer David Hanson, is able to answer basic questions and can also be
used in the simulation of medical scenarios.’

Incredibly lifelike: Known as Ham, this humanoid is made using specialised
software and can recognise and respond to facial expressions

Ham is currently on exhibit at the Global Sources spring electronics show at
AsiaWorld Expo - the largest event of its kind in the world, with more than 4,000
booths displaying the latest gadgets.

The head is created with malleable material called Frubber using soft-bodied
mechanical engineering and nanotechnology.It contains realistic pores that
measure just 4 to 40 nanometers across (there are 10million nanometers in one
centimetre).


Using specialised software the machine can recognise and respond to a number of
human facial expressions in a natural way.

According to Hanson Robotics's website, the humanoids can actually see your face,
make eye contact with you, and understand speech to 'engage you in witty dialogue'.

Such reactions are a major feat of engineering, according to chief designer David
Hanson, the founder and and president of Hanson Robotics.

Reactive: The robot smiles using multiple motors - which whir into action and
subtly adjust multiple points of articulation around his mouth and brown eyes

State-of-the-art: The head is created with malleable material using soft-bodied
mechanical engineering and nanotechnology. It contains realistic pores that
measure just 4 to 40 nanometers across (there are 10million nanometers in one centimetre)

It is not the first human-looking robot that his firm has created either. An earlier
version of Ham drew headlines as it was sculpted to look like Albert Einstein,
complete with a bushy moustache and a shock of white hair.

The Einstein humanoid made facial expressions by using multiple motors - which
whirl into action and subtly adjust multiple points of articulation around his mouth
and brown eyes. Mr Hanson sees robotics as his calling and works on many fronts,
from sculpting features to developing artificial intelligence.

To advance to the next step of producing robots for everyday applications in
entertainment, health care and education, he decided to move to Hong Kong with
his family - his wife Amanda and their son Zeno.The city has a booming robotics
community with a high amount of expertise and design infrastructure and new
technology can be developed at a lower cost than in the US.

Invertuality: Jules says goodbye...

Jules is a Conversational Character Robot designed and built by David Hanson. Jules is
Ai, made with a light weight material called Frubber™ , which enables his/her face to be
mobile and expressive. Jules runs on batteries and was commissioned by the UWE with
a statistically perfect androgynous face.

Thanks for putting this AI info together. When I watched the last video of "Jules", I was surprised at the emotions that came up. Much like the people that were interacting with him seemed to, I felt the sort of warm, protective, affection that I feel when looking at a small child or animal. He seemed to emit the same innocence and purity that children and animals do.

DARPA Wants to Make a Computer Program that Evolves for 100 Years

‘The most fearsome specter brandished by the “artificial intelligence will ​enslave us all”
crowd is the computer program that can adapt. Not only would such software’s core
function evolve and change, but it could survive both new and crumbling physical infrastructure.

This week, the Defense Advanced Research Agency (DARPA) published a request for
proposals on how to design software than can do exactly this. Not just for 10 or 20
years, when much of today’s technology will surely be obsolete, but for a century.
The program is known as BRASS—Building Resource Adaptive Software Systems.

When Florida is underwater and California is a desert dystopia, BRASS programs will
live on. When the personal computer and the smartphone are distant, archaic memories;
when our bodies interface with machines; when our thoughts become data inputs;
BRASS programs will adapt with us.’

Paypal Head Wants Brain Chips to Replace Passwords

New technology will have to fit inside ‘cultural norms’ to be accepted

Paul Joseph Watson

April 20, 2015



‘Paypal’s ‘Global Head of Developer Evangelism’ Jonathan LeBlanc is
pushing implantable brain chips as a replacement for passwords, but
insists that such technology must be made to fit inside “cultural norms”
before it is accepted by the general public.

z19V6sm17wg


In a presentation called ‘Kill All Passwords’, LeBlanc admits that the future
of authentication security is “going to get creepy” as traditional passwords
are phased out due to their innumerable security flaws.

LeBlanc envisages using brain chips to measure thought patterns so that
childhood memories could be invoked by the user to unlock their computer.’

LeBlanc also discusses how bio-hacking companies are already using embedded
NFC and RFID tags to unlock doors. In January, the BBC reported on a company
in Sweden that was implanting its workers with computer chips under the skin in
order for them to access the building.

“Daily ID chips” with wi-fi sensors could also be swallowed by employees to
provide secure authentication, says LeBlanc.

Paypal is currently working with partners to get the ball rolling on such technology,
a process LeBlanc says is part of the payment processor becoming a “thought leader”
on the transition.

“I can’t speculate as to what PayPal will do in the future, but we’re looking at new
techniques – we do have fingerprint scanning that is being worked on right now – so
we’re definitely looking at the identity field,” LeBlanc told the Wall Street Journal.

“Realistically the ones that will succeed, whether it’s embeddable, ingestible, injectible
or what have you, are the ones that are going to play into cultural norms, the ones that
are going to meet the demands of the populace overall….and not be creepy, so even
though they seem creepy at the current time, the future are gonna be the ones that hit
those cultural norms,” said LeBlanc.

LeBlanc’s identification of “cultural norms” as a major hurdle to be overcome before the
public becomes comfortable with wearable ID technology or implantable chips echoes
similar sentiments made by Google executive Regina Dugan.

During a 2013 D11 conference, Dugan said that Google was working on an ingestible
microchip that would turn a user’s entire body into a biological authentication system for
cellphones, cars, doors and other devices. The company is also developing a wearable
e-tattoo that can decipher a user’s thoughts by detecting the unvocalized words in their throat.

Dugan predicted that young people would want to adopt the e-tattoo if it was made to
look cool and was seen as a form of rebellion against their parents.

Dugan’s role in developing such technology can be placed in a somewhat sinister context
given that she is the former director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA), an agency of the US Department of Defense, which many see as a pioneer of a
dystopian big brother surveillance society.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt even suggested earlier this year that the Internet itself could one
day disappear as an external concept, greasing the skids for the world wide web to exist
inside people’s brains. In December 2013, Google engineering director Scott Huffman also
predicted that within five years web users would have microphones attached to their ceilings
and microchips embedded in their brains in order to perform quicker internet searches.

Would you swallow an identification pill or have one embedded in your brain for greater
password security and convenience? How could such technology be abused by governments
and corporations? Let us know in the comments below.
