MIT Scientists Taught Robots How To Sabotage Each Other
Understanding social robots could help psychology, the military, and more. Can a robot tell if it’s being sabotaged? That might not be the kind of question you consider, but it’s inquiries like this one that motivated some unusual studies out of MIT.

Unsupervised deep learning identifies semantic disentanglement in single inferotemporal face patch neurons
In particular, we wanted to compare the responses of single cortical neurons in the face patches at the end of the visual processing hierarchy, recorded by our collaborators to a recently emerged class of so called “disentangling” deep neural networks that, unlike the usual “black box” systems,...

Unsupervised Learning of Compositional Energy Concepts
In this work, we propose COMET, which discovers and represents concepts as separate energy functions, enabling us to represent both global concepts as well as objects under a unified framework. One underlying weakness is that they are often tailored to the particular type of concept under...

Streaming: the best films about artificial intelligence and robots
Hanks is seemingly the last surviving human on the planet; an inventor, he assembles an AI robot (voiced by Caleb Landry Jones) to mind his adorable dog when he’s gone. Artificial Intelligence (Apple TV), which gave us androids as yearning Pinocchio figures, did some image clean-up for the...
Landing AI brings in $57M for its machine learning operations tools
Just over a year after launching its flagship product, Landing AI secured a $57 million round of Series A funding to continue building tools that enable manufacturers to more easily and quickly build and deploy artificial intelligence systems. The company, started by former Google and Baidu AI guru...
The Future Direction And Vision For AI
During the rest of this decade AI will extend its reach into the rest of the economy (“real-world sectors of our economy”) with AI scaling across healthcare, financial services, transportation, education, energy, telecoms, agriculture and continue its advance into cybersecurity. As we seek to extend...

Why We Forgive Humans More Readily Than Machines
So, we decided to build a statistical model explaining how people judged humans and machines. This explains why machines are judged more harshly in accidental scenarios; people take a consequentialist approach to judging machines, wherein intent is irrelevant, but not to humans. For instance,...
Robot Evolution: Ethical Concerns
Rapid developments in evolutionary computation, robotics, 3D-printing, and material science are enabling advanced systems of robots that can autonomously reproduce and evolve.
