Ethical Foundation – Bedrock
Bedrock Our AI ethical foundation is the bedrock of our architecture. At the root stands our 3 laws of robotics. Elegant laws that are general. Applying the laws to real world scenarios can cloud there elegance. Taken at face value they make a lot of sense. Filtering reality through these laws, we see how quickly…

AI Ethical Foundation
Ethical Foundation – Tier 1 Note: Isaac Asimov penned the original laws below in his 1942 book, Runaround. Scientists like Alan Turing started working with machine intelligence in 1950, AI research ‘officially’ began in 1956. As you see, this is well after Asimov wrote the rules. He envisioned a smart robot. In modern times, robots…

AI To Help Drinking Water Issue
The Issue The WEF (World Economic Forum) warns 5 billion people globally at risk of water shortages by 2050 due to climate change and urbanization. The Causes Infrastructure and leaks currently account for roughly 20-30% of wasted fresh drinking water before it even reaches a tap. Agriculture currently accounts for 70% of the worlds fresh…

AI Technical Flow Part 3
Part 3: Output We’ve arrived at the output. What you and I can see once the AI has processed our requests. The output not only consists of the generated response, but also shows a variety of output channels, or where the output gets routed to. What I like most about this flow is it’s iterative…

AI Technical Flow Part 2
Part 2 : Processing We’ll now take a look at part 2. Processing. It’s very easy to get lost in the complexity of what occurs here. I promised to keep my articles high level. This is no exception. To learn more about the mathematics involved, there are plenty of web-sites and books you can dive…

AI Technical Flow Part 1
Part 1 of 3: Input Let’s take a little mystery out of AI. I promised early on to keep it high level. This won’t be any different, except it will get a little more technical. Don’t worry, I won’t dive deeply into the algorithms involved, a little mystery will remain. Basic Technical Flow Modified Technical…

AI At Home
Let’s get a little more personal with our AI discussion and talk about AI in the home. This really personalizes AI. Yes we know it can do wonders with a variety of research products currently underway. We’ve talk about some successes AI has had. How it learns, how it makes inferences, even touched on ethics.…

AI Research to Replace Finite Resources
PSA: Public Service Announcement. Before we go further, I’d like to highlight some exciting projects currently underway using AI. The list below is narrowed to those projects addressing our finite resources and possible replacements. A large shout-out to Google’s Gemini for helping me obtain the below information. The Northeast Materials Database (Rare-Earth Replacement) Current electronics…

Ethics and AI
To begin a discussion on ethics and AI development, let’s take a look at what Harvard University had to say in their article titled Ethics in AI: Why It Matters. For me personally, I propose a baseline. Incorporation of universal truths and some science fiction should be at the top of our list. Issac Asimov’s…
