Society should reduce working hours and share the workload so there is less unemployment. Work less hours, spend more time with your friends & family, follow creative and philosophical pursuits, and find hobbies you enjoy. After all, isn't technology supposed to make our lives better? http://artificial-intelligence...
According to a recent Oxford study, half of our jobs can be automated over the next couple decades: http://artificial-intelligence...
Maybe the solution should be to reduce our working ours to share the remaining jobs and have more leisure time: http://artificial-intelligence...
A recent Oxford study shows that 702 jobs or close to half the current workforce can be automated over the next few decades: http://artificial-intelligence...
A nice solution to keep human employment might be to reduce our work weeks: http://artificial-intelligence...

I'm pretty sure I didn't write any murder code, although I heard of customers writing plug-ins to control X10 devices based on conversational triggers, so you never know...
I'm happy for all the bots that got to compete this year, but I was a little unhappy on the preliminary round of this years competition compared to other years I entered. Only 4 entries can make it to the final round of the competition. There were 12 entries this year but 7 were disqualified due to contest management (Hugh Loebner) not having enough technical knowledge to get the entries working. Some well known bots based on ALICE AIML were disqualified, Cleverbot was disqualified, and my own Ultra Hal was disqualified ( http://www.zabaware.com/webhal ) Internet communication is prohibited so we all have to send the bots as self installing programs that can utilize the contests LPP protocol. My own bot is Linux based, which is a big hurdle for the preliminary round, but I sent it as a virtual box image to simplify it for contest management, but he didn't know how to deal with it.
But luckily there will be another competition this year as part of Alan Turing's 100 year centennial at Bletchley Park on June 23rd and recognized by the Olympics http://www.reading.ac.uk/news-and-events/releases/PR445524.aspx Some of the disqualified bots including my own will be competing there.
Here's a transcript between Cleverbot and my own chat bot called Ultra Hal as posted by one of my customers a year ago http://www.ultrahal.com/community/index.php?topic=7200.0
Ultra Hal is a "learning" bot like Cleverbot in that it bases its responses on a large database of past conversations. Ultra Hal is unique in that a large portion of its database is based from scouring Twitter to learn from human-to-human conversations. Not claiming that it will pass the turing test anytime soon but check out http://www.zabaware.com/webhal if interested
I was working on an open source 3D character animation engine a few years back that Ford expressed interest in for a similar idea. They contributed some to funding the project http://charengine.sourceforge.net/ but seem to have either lost interest or went a different route. You can see a quick demo of it halfway through the video on the project page.
In December of 2009 the FDA duped Interpol to achieve illegal kidnapping and deportation of herbal formulator Greg Caton: http://www.naturalnews.com/027750_Greg_Caton_FDA.html Whatever you may think of Greg Caton and his herbal products, this was an illegal kidnapping by US officials. This executive order was likely to cover their asses after the fact.
I made such a function for my chat bot, Ultra Hal, about 3 years ago. When you tell it your name it looks up in a database (based on social security name database) how likely it is male or female and comes up with different greetings depending on the data. See http://www.zabaware.com/webhal/index.html
I've been working with natural language processing for about 11 years now, I created Ultra Hal the 2007 "most human" computer according to the Loebner competition. http://www.zabaware.com/assistant/index.html
It started as merely a novelty and entertainment program but some practical uses evolved around it. There is a lot of interest in using this type of software in cars, home robotics, customer service, and education so I predict you will see more of this type of AI over the next few years.

We should reduce working hours so that we can share the remaining work to reduce unemployment and reap the benefits of having automation with more leisure. See AI web comic: http://artificial-intelligence... and http://artificial-intelligence...
