Man and Machine: Questions of Risk, Trust and Accountability in Today's AI Technology

Artificial Intelligence began as a field probing some of the most fundamental questions of science - the nature of intelligence and the design of intelligent artifacts. But it has grown into a discipline that is deeply entwined with commerce and society. Today's AI technology, such as expert systems and intelligent assistants, pose some difficult questions of risk, trust and accountability. In this paper, we present these concerns, examining them in the context of historical developments that have shaped the nature and direction of AI research. We also suggest the exploration and further development of two paradigms, human intelligence-machine cooperation, and a sociological view of intelligence, which might help address some of these concerns.Comment: Preprin

Effect of SiC/Al2O3 particle size reinforcement in recycled LDPE matrix on mechanical properties of FDM feed stock filament

In this research work, an effort has been made to develop fused deposition modelling (FDM), feed stock filament wire from recycled low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with different particle sizes (i.e. single particle size (SPS), double particle size (DPS) and triple particle size (TPS) in different proportions) of SiC/Al2O3 as reinforcement. After evaluation of melt flow index (MFI), the best combinations were selected and used for filament wire preparation on twin screw extruder. The results of the study highlight that Al2O3-based DPS reinforcement resulted in better mechanical properties of the feed stock filament. Finally, the non-functional prototypes have been printed with feed stock filament prepared on open-source FDM. The Al2O3-based DPS reinforcement in LDPE resulted in better dimensional stability with improved surface hardness. The results have been supported by SEM-based photomicrographs and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)

Faults Detection in Three Phase Transmission Line with Safety Measure

The "Faults Detection In Three Phase Transmission Line With Safety Measure" aims to enhance the safety and reliability of electrical power transmission systems by developing an intelligent fault detection and monitoring system for transmission lines. The project utilizes advanced sensing and communication technologies to detect faults on transmission lines promptly and accurately, allowing for timely intervention and mitigation of potential hazards. The proposed Transmission Line Fault Safety Project contributes to enhancing the reliability and safety of transmission line operations. By enabling rapid fault detection, early warning systems, and effective response mechanisms, it aims to reduce downtime, prevent accidents, and improve the overall efficiency of electrical power transmission systems

Multiple muscle tear after fall on buttock-role of conservative management and exercise for early recovery and return to play

Background: to describe role of alternative management as an approach to management and rehabilitation of multiple hip muscles tears by the use of 1 RM (Repetition Maximum) testing and hip muscle strengthening program along with the use of sports specific drills for rehabilitation and recovery. There is very limited literature describing multiple hip muscle tears and the conservative management of the same. 1RM testing and strengthening of hip muscles is an approach that is able to help in the return to sports of an athlete without surgical intervention. Methods: the patient, is a 21-year-old male hockey player who presented with pain right buttock, right lower leg and a limp on the right side while walking. Physical examination revealed a positive Trendelenburg sign both in stance and gait phase. Hip rotational movements showed a normal range of motion, there was a severe pain in the right buttock on movements which he described at 8/10 on VAS (Visual Analogue Scale). Strength assessment revealed weakness of the right hip flexors and extensors and also of the abductor and external hip rotator muscles. Treatment protocol followed was based on 1 RM testing of muscles and hip strengthening exercises and sports specific drills. Results: following the intervention, the patient reported pain at 0/10 VAS while doing all activities and also showed good muscle control with no limp. Conclusions: this highlights an alternative protocol for treating multiple hip muscle tears and illustrates the importance of 1 RM testing as a part of examination and sports medicine intervention
