On Jan 26 the Doomsday Clock was brought forward to 2 1/2 minutes to midnight. Worried?
I’m glad to report that the robotics and AI industry is responding. IEEE seeks input into Guidelines for Ethically Aligned Design for AI and Autonomous Systems, the $27 million Ethics and Governance of AI fund was announced, Stanford announced the 100 year study on AI, Apple joined Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook and IBM in the Partnership on AI, and the Obama WhiteHouse released 3 white papers on AI, automation and the economy.
