The chaos created by the education reform, namely regarding teacher appointment procedures through mysterious algorithms not only explicitly reveals how incoherent, useless and damaging the reform is, it also strongly underlines the issue of the value of work and the importance of contract regulation. Can work, or more crucially, workers, be reduced to mere variables […]
Ethics, robotics and the workplace The explosive and rapid impact of technological process characterises the fourth industrial revolution and transforms production, management and governance, tearing down the barriers between the physical sphere, the digital and biological worlds. The irruption onto the scene of robots as automated labourers poses ethical problems and raises issues for […]
The integration of robotics and artificial intelligence will revolutionize our society and lead to many new questions. Initially designed for factory production, robots today are a fundamental component of mass production, and are increasingly indispensable (as science-fiction writers had imagined they would be) in space science and the medical world. So what is the next […]
In the current international context, artificial intelligence and robots are often represented as the future that will steel our future: “they” will replace us and take our jobs. This presentation is about a certain unsual vision of the future, where artifical intelligence is not just what kills us but also a crucial element in the […]
Computers and the internet are taking away our jobs. Yesterday technology stole all the blue-collar jobs, and today the same is happening to white-collar ones. What next? Ethics, Robotics and the workplace The explosive and rapid impact of technological process characterises the fourth industrial revolution and transforms production, management and governance, tearing down the […]
By applying many sciences, we can imagine a future where brain emulations are the first sort of human-like robots. We can foresee mind speeds, body sizes, wages, career paths, aging, mating, talk, wealth, growth, cities, politics, law, war, & death. Ethics, Robotics and the workplace The explosive and rapid impact of technological process characterises […]
In the last thirty years, many private Chinese companies have experienced rapid development, emerging unscathed from the recent global financial crisis, continuously generating wealth and value not only on a financial level, but on social one as well. Hengdian Group, for example, is among the top ten private Chinese groups with a turnover of 9 […]
Is gender a salient issue for the definition and evolution of future forms of artificial intelligence and robotic entities (the Internet of things)? Neutrality or gender for the robots of the future? And which gender? And what if they were trans or inter-gendered?
