Want to Get Along With Robots? Pretend They’re Animals
Pretend They’re Animals Robotics ethicist Kate Darling surveys our history with animals—in work, war, and companionship—to show how we might develop similar relationships with robots. Just as we can’t help but ascribe agency to animals, we also project intent, emotions, and expectations onto...

Interpretable survival prediction for colorectal cancer using deep learning
In this study, we first present a weakly supervised deep learning system (DLS) for predicting disease-specific survival (DSS) in colorectal cancer patients and then develop a method for generating human-interpretable histologic features that can both explain the DLS predictions and be used as...

Ethics
Moving away from AI ethics as “window-dressing” to scientifically informed policies
But as Joanna J. Bryson pointed out in her recent talk at the Schwartz Reisman Institute’s (SRI) weekly seminar, AI is “just another artifact,” an ordinary extension of human-made technologies that is now meshed into our society.
Creativity in the Era of Artificial Intelligence
This paper details the various aspects of creativity from a value-creation and process perspective, highlighting where AI might be a useful mechanism to augment rather than replace our abilities. Intrinsic limits of AI for a self-contained creative agent In the Wallas model of creativity that spans...
