What Turing did not foresee is the power of deep-learning AI to acquire this wealth of information in an exploitable form without having to understand it. Turing

the CIRL framework, one can formulate and solve the off-switch problem—that is, the problem of how to prevent a robot from disabling its off-switch. (Turing may rest easier.) A robot that’s uncertain about human preferences actually benefits from being switched off, because it understands that the human w

but, using this simple idea, Bertrand Russell changed the course of mathematical history and it is the fundamental paradox used to show computers are Turing limited. The Russell Paradox In the late 19 century, mathematicians began to think about the nature of numbers. What is a number? It is certainly

The slicing technique was invented independently in the 1970s by Sir Godfrey Hounsfield, working for EMI in England, and Allan Cormack, of Tufts University in America, and they shared the 1979 Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work. Legend has it that EMI was making so much money from The Beatles they c
