This Redshift article - 3 Ways Robots Can Shape the Future of Architecture - On Earth and Beyond - examines the future of robots with benefit of insights gleaned from Towards a Robotic Architecture , a text coedited by Dr. Mahesh Daas (KU's Dean of Architecture) and Andrew John Witt (assistant professor of Digital Practice within Temple University’s Division of Architecture and Environmental Design). Enjoy!
In this Wired article , former Google/Uber wunderkind Anthony Levandowski envisions the future of AI as a "for-prophet" not-for-profit venture. Levandowski seeks converts who embrace the tenets of his newly founded religion Way of the Future . It's goal - to herald and shape mankind's new relationship with our inevitable AI divinity. When it comes to AI, it seems no job is safe.
We have all seen the recent headlines that highlight the potential impact of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems on our collective futures—“What jobs will robots take first?”—“Cars that are designed to kill”—“The Internet of Battlefield Things, Robots at War”—“One in three jobs will be eliminated by AI” “Should AI be programmed to feel pain?” Funding agencies are starting to shift from basic AI technology to seeking understanding of social implications and integrated human-machine systems. This topic touches all facets of science and society and is ripe for interdisciplinary exploration. How can we prepare ourselves and our students for the future? This blog provides a forum for the KU research community to share both current and speculative perspectives on artificial intelligence, automation, and robotics.
