Just another round fired in the war to feminize the workplace across the country. The male environment is, of course, inferior, even pathological. Right? Equality? No.
Now they have to understand that emotion is a state indicator and it is used to communicate to ourselves and others the state of satisfaction of our peculiar accent of motivations in the nominal Human Motivation Array. Think of an N - dimensional motivation array with each axis corresponding to one motivation. The motivation vector points out a vector nulling behavior we have developed in our behavior-space over our lifetime. We convey emotions to each other so we can read another's state and adjust our behavior to their state. The more intensely social a species is, the more intensely emotional it most be according to the complexity of its Motivation Array.
Words and phrases and sentences have motivations satisfaction value. Researchers and programmers need to develop a dictionary of words, phrases, and sentence fragments and append motivation satisfaction values to them. In this way a computer would be able to construct meaningful conversation that is very human-like.
What moves the motivation vector? Air temperature, thought-behaviors, other people, what we see, hear, touch etc etc. Environmental inputs, both internal and external. Connect sensors -- both hardware and software -- to the array.
They will lobby to have bullying and assault laws cover "robots," humanizing them. They are already laying the groundwork with words. Corrupt and incompetent legislators are capable of anything. Don't be surprise when it happens.
These technology and dollar-and-cents kind of analyses always leave out the most important thing: human psychology. The acceptance or rejection of control loss will be the deciding factor. The rest doesn't matter if people refuse to sit helplessly in a vehicle that does what it does in some unknowable way.
Nobody addresses the fact that these things will make a lot of noise in settled areas. And as the drone traffic increases, so will the noise level, to the point that in some communities there may be incessant drone delivery noise.
May I suggest that this may be a way to keep ahead of evolving bacterial strains by letting an organism and this process evolve the antibiotic producing organism that is capable of producing an antibiotic. Think in terms of the penicillin mold.
This seems just another case of a women who has had a lifetime of women's privilege deference and accommodation running into the hard truths of equality in a tough work environment. The courts will probably force the feminization of the work environment--women's privilege at work once again. The result, of course, will be the destruction eventually of an aggressively creative and forward pushing company.
One high tech car, because it is becoming impossible to avoid, and one "burner car" for travelling with more privacy. The burner car would be an antique, or close. eschewing all high tech gadgetry.
Just more useless busy-think as science goes down the rabbit hole of irrelevance. The scientific-industrial-complex makes sure this stuff is constantly in the news in order to justify expensive programs to the government and public.
I'm not saying it happened here, but many people do not understand that you have to put things in appropriate packaging for the machines to process. It saddens me every work day to see what is thrown out of the machines without the packaging it came with. No address, no delivery. Only paper goes in envelopes for example. Not hard items. Not keys. Not pens. Not coins. Not makeup you want your friend to try. Not anything but paper. And that is because it has to go around hundreds of steel rollers, held between high speed belts for sorting. If you have a hard item, put it in a flat bubble-wrap protected envelope for protection and processing through the Automated Package Processing System machines, or, better, in a well-taped box with an address written on the box. And NOT a tiny box. Heck, if you have ANYTHING that is very important, put it in a flat or a box and make it bigger than the item by far. And let me say that only a very tiny percentage of the 156 Billion pieces of mail the USPS processes every year is damaged, destroyed or lost. And most all of that is due to improper packaging of items. Think before you send because people don't route mail anymore, multi million dollar machines do, and at high speed and accuracy.
We (humanity) don't even know if diseases ARE diseases from evolution's viewpoint. They may simply be an evolutionary vector, a change on the way to something else. But let's fix evolution for individual humans. And how many times have we seen this cycle? They have a serious concern. They have conferences and write papers. Then they do it anyway, because it is interesting to them.
Eighty percent of schizophrenics smoke, and scientists have recently found that nicotine increases blood flow to the prefrontal cortex of the brain, lessening some symptoms of the disorder. Are there other reasons for self medication with nicotine?
"... the algorithm scored 91% as well as the doctors, in terms of sensitivity (catching all the cancerous lesions)..."
Great, it only killed 9% of the people! Let's start using this magnificent technology! Think of the money that will be saved!
A fundamental problem with computers doing medicine is that it reduces the number of people in medicine and therefore the advance of diagnostics and technique. Computers don't push anything forward. Use too many computers and you will freeze medicine in place at some steady level of knowledge.
This is bound to happen. But it is merely a thin veneer argument covering the real intent, and that is to reach into the future to pocket the future earnings of students seeking an education. The education business considers the value-added life of their students to belong to them. I point out that there is a Macroparasitic (government, finance, business) infection abroad in the country today of such virulence that I'm afraid it will not be stoppable short of collapse and violence by the mass of people. The Macroparasite, aided by technology, is targeting any asset of the mass to transfer it to its own pocket. The result of this will be the complete devaluing of a STEM education, damaging this country. Why would anyone get an education if no benefit can be expected from doing so? Do they expect people to go through the effort and expense of getting an education for the good of society alone, gathering to themselves crushing, un-payable debt in the process?
This battle has already been lost. Cameras are everywhere and growing in number. Everything you do or say on the internet is parsed now. Your data is stolen on a regular basis. I've had Amazon Echo since the beginning and it is integrating itself into my life skill by skill. What's the weather? What's my commute time? What's on my calendar? Put this on my calendar. Buy this; buy that. (I have a mountain of TP sent by just telling her to buy it since it is already on my list, for example) Music. Lights control. Heat and air. And more skills are coming. She learns things using AI. When it comes to my car I'll have it even better. Put down that crank mentality and get a car with a starter.
Supposedly there is a 7% difference between the machine tally and the paper tally. They ascribe this to voting machines being hacked. I suggest it might as well be thought that the machines are correct and that the traditional ways of "hacking" paper ballot totals are responsible for the difference.

What SiFi movie to you consider most likely to come true in the future?
Without a doubt the best SciFi film ever made. They should remake it though, give it the benefit of the subsequent advances in video graphics.

A.I. and machine takeover of jobs actually eats its own seed corn. In the end it collapses.

But next week scientists will decide that cats will be responsible for the extinction of the human species.

I mean, like, WOW. My intro to the microprocessor was the 8085 in a course in the early 1980s. Just sayin.

Most media outlets have become naked propaganda producers for one particular ideology or the other.
