    Using the idea of the Technological Singularity this essay offers some reflections on the possible future of bots in Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs). The paper starts by briefly introducing the notion of Technological Singularity as the advent of a super-intelligent Artificial Intelligence that could threaten human existence. Bots are computer programs that automate repetitive and time consuming activities for the Internet user. In MMOGs, bots are often used to cheat and could have nefarious effects on the gameplay. Assuming that bots are rudimentary forms of Artificial Intelligence that also pose a threat to MMOGs and their players, the paper presents some evidence-based trends of the future evolution of bots and the implications of these for Virtual Worlds research

    The growing speed of Information and Communication Technology has paved way to more technological advancement which has opened up a novel subject matter named Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education. This paper focuses on advent of artificial intelligence: prospects and challenges in Nigeria education system. It is envisaged that Artificial Intelligence systems are becoming adopted and its application is racing fast in teaching and learning, hence, the need to look at highlights on achievements of Artificial Intelligence, benefits of Artificial Intelligence, challenges of Artificial Intelligence and the way-forward. In addition, suggestions made include that government should make deliberate and conscious effort to fund the project, involvement of teachers and students, training and retraining of teachers. These suggestions made if put into consideration will compliment and support teachers to combine human capabilities with artificial intelligence to bring about quality delivery in lifelong education

    The forgery of deepfake and the "advent" of artificial intelligence

    The concept of politics changes its semantic value according to the historical period and the cultural changes affecting the social fabric. In classical literature, there was no distinction between politics and society or politics and ethics, since the first indicated the collective space in which cultural, social, economic relations of human life developed that were differentiated from other living forms. To date, with the advent of digitalization and artificial intelligence, we have a concrete assessment of how politics has acquired a new perspective and is changing to adapt to new technologies and its uses: on the one hand, we are experiencing the propagation of debate, confrontation, and information accessible at any time. On the other hand, it has become an instrument for the annihilation of rivals and subjugation of those who consider any data received from the Internet as truthful, exploiting the media and digital technologies, until it pervades the social structure, making even nonsense seem credible. The purpose of this contribution, therefore, is to outline theoretically the contours and contemporary phenomena that relate, through a dialogical relationship, with the use of deepfake techniques and artificial intelligence technology, the concepts of politics - in its dimension of the relationship of collective power - and of social communication

    Get PDF
    This book is organized as follows. Section 2 introduces the notion of the Singularity, a stage in development in which technological progress and economic growth increase at a near-infinite rate. Section 3 describes what artificial intelligence is and how it has been applied. Section 4 considers artificial happiness and the likelihood that artificial intelligence might increase human happiness. Section 5 discusses some prominent related concepts and issues. Section 6 describes the use of artificial agents in economic modeling, and section 7 considers some ways in which economic analysis can offer some hints about what the advent of artificial intelligence might bring. Chapter 8 presents some thoughts about the current state of AI and its future prospects.

    The developments in Artificial Intelligence have been on the rise since its advent. The advancements in this field have been the innovative research area across a wide range of industries, making its incorporation in dentistry inevitable. Artificial Intelligence techniques are making serious progress in the diagnostic and treatment planning aspects of dental clinical practice. This will ultimately help in the elimination of subjectivity and human error that are often part of radiographic interpretations, and will improve the overall efficiency of the process. The various types of Artificial Intelligence algorithms that exist today make the understanding of their application quite complex. The current narrative review was planned to make comprehension of Artificial Intelligence algorithms relatively straightforward. The focus was planned to be kept on the current developments and prospects of Artificial Intelligence in dentistry, especially Deep Learning and Convolutional Neural Networks in diagnostic imaging. The narrative review may facilitate the interpretation of seemingly perplexing research published widely in dental journals

    The Reform of Cultivation Mode of Chinese University English Translation Talents in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

    Get PDF
    The advent of the era of artificial intelligence will make artificial intelligence steadily integrate into the cultivation mode for translation talents, greatly innovate the concepts and methods of translation teaching in college English in China, and continuously improve the quality of talent cultivation. The paper aims to analyze the connotation and main characteristics of artificial intelligence, and then probe into the current situation of English translation talents cultivation in Chinese universities. Finally, it puts forward the path of reform of the cultivation mode for translation talents from the aspects of the objectives of translation talent cultivation and curriculum system, teaching philosophy and teaching methods, teaching resources and teaching tools as well as the teaching evaluation

    Human-AI ecosystem with abrupt changes as a function of the composition

    Get PDF
    The progressive advent of artificial intelligence machines may represent both an opportunity or a threat. In order to have an idea of what is coming we propose a model that simulate a Human-AI ecosystem. In particular we consider systems where agents present biases, peer-to-peer interactions and also three body interactions that are crucial and describe two humans interacting with an artificial agent and two artificial intelligence agents interacting with a human. We focus our analysis by exploring how the relative fraction of artificial intelligence agents affect that ecosystem. We find evidence that for suitable values of the interaction parameters, arbitrarily small changes in such percentage may trigger dramatic changes for the system that can be either in one of the two polarised states or in an undecided state
