LATEST RESEARCH: IS THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE REALLY DANGEROUS OR THREAT TO HUMAN BEINGS?

Image
     In this 21st century, it is really wonderful and quite amazing that from various applications like computers to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing rapidly. While science fiction often portrays AI as robots with human-like characteristics, AI can encompass anything from Google’s search algorithms to IBM’s Watson to autonomous weapons.  Artificial intelligence today is properly known as narrow AI(or weak AI), in that it is designed to perform a narrow task (e.g. only facial recognition or only internet searches or only driving a car). However, the long-term goal of many researchers is to create general AI(AGI or Strong AI). While narrow AI may outperform humans at whatever its specific task is, like playing chess or solving equations, AGI would really outperform humans at nearly every cognitive task.  Since recent developments have made super-intelligent machines possible much sooner than initially thought, the time is now to determine what dangers artifi

HOW TO REDUCE THE POLLUTION AND BEAT PLASTIC POLLUTION USING THE TECHNOLOGY?

Image
     Each year, around 13 million tonnes of plastic end up in the oceans. That’s the equivalent of a full garbage truck emptying into the ocean every minute.  In the last decade, the world produced more plastic than in the whole last century.  And 50 percent of the plastic we use is single-use or considered ‘disposable.  How can we flip this trend and end plastic pollution?  The ‘3 Rs’ aim to reduce, reuse, and recycle plastic use and consumption. And this year, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has added, "If you can't reuse it, refuse it". " With the current scale of the problem, it is clear that reducing our use and cleaning up our impact is critical to the health of our environment.      So let us see how can Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) help to clean up and prevent plastic pollution using the following ideas: 1. Using the Internet and social media: Firstly, you are reading this because of the power of the internet to connect pe

WHY DID NASA STOP THE MANNED MISSIONS TO THE MOON AFTER APOLLO 17 MISSION IN 1972?

Image
     The Mission  Apollo  13 accident in April 1970 led to many calls to  end  lunar  missions . Later on, the widespread desire to  end Apollo  after a successful flight and to counter Soviet claims that robotic lunar exploration was safer, cheaper, and more effective than human lunar exploration helped to prolong the  program .     Astronauts often say the reasons humans haven't returned to the lunar surface are budgetary and political hurdles,  not  scientific or technical challenges. Private companies like Blue Origin and SpaceX may be the first entities to return people to the  moon . However,  Landing 14 people on the moon still remain to be one of NASA's greatest achievements of all time history, if not it was the greatest achievement.  Astronauts had collected many rocks, took photos, performed experiments, planted some flags, and then came back home on earth. But those week-long stays during the Apollo program did not actually establish a lasting human presence on the

NANO-ROBOTS REVOLUTIONIZES AND PROMISES TO CHANGE THE FUTURE OF MEDICAL TREATMENT

Image
      Advances in technology have increased our ability to manipulate the world around us on an ever-decreasing scale. Nanotechnologies are rapidly emerging within the realm of medicine, and this subfield has been termed nanomedicine. The use of nanoparticle technology has become familiar and increasingly commonplace, especially with pharmaceutical technology. An exciting and promising area of nanotechnological development is the building of nanorobots, which are devices with components manufactured on the nanoscale. This area of study is replete with potential applications, many of which are currently being researched and developed.      Scientists have touted that the nanotechnology, or extremely small-scale devices, as a promising method for assessing patient health, delivering medicine, or potentially even repairing damaged tissue or fighting cancerous cells in patients. However, nanobots have a long way to go from smart pills currently in development.  Still, the idea of microsco

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO FLIGHT MH370 IS THE MOST MYSTERIOUS CASE OF AIR ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION.

     It has been more than eight years since disaster of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 which went missing into the deep Indian Ocean. Officials reports have confirmed that at  12:42AM  on the quiet, moonlit night of March 8, 2014, a Boeing 777-200ER operated by Malaysia Airlines took off from Kuala Lumpur and turned toward Beijing, climbing to its assigned cruising altitude of 35,000 feet. The designator for Malaysia Airlines is MH and the flight number was 370. Fariq Hamid, the first officer, was flying the airplane. He was 27 years old. This was a training flight for him, the last one; he would soon be fully certified. His trainer was the pilot in command, a man named Zaharie Ahmad Shah, who was at the age of 53 was one of the most senior captains at Malaysia Airlines.     The search for it was initially concentrated in the South China Sea, between Malaysia and Vietnam. It was an international effort by 34 ships and 28 aircraft from seven different countries. But MH370 was nowhere
