Amnesty International welcomes the call by a major investor in a Dutch manufacturer of cameras deployed in occupied East Jerusalem for human rights safeguards to be applied. ASN Impact Investors said it would lose its investment if TKH Group did not adopt a human rights due diligence policy within a year. This sets the right precedent to hold investors accountable for the actions of the beneficiaries of their investment. The move comes just over a year after Amnesty International released its Occupied Palestinian Territories report, “Automated Apartheid: How Facial Recognition is Dividing, Segregating and Controlling Palestinians,” which documented how Israel’s…

The idea that superintelligent robots are alien invaders “coming to take our jobs” exposes serious flaws in how we think about work, value, and intelligence itself. Work is not a zero-sum game, and robots are not the “other” in competition with us. Like any technology, robots are part of us, growing out of our civilization in the same way that hair and nails grow out of living organisms. Robots are part humanity, and we are part machine.When we “otherize” fruit-picking robots, that is, when we think of them as competitors in a zero-sum game, we are ignoring the real problem:…

Ethics play a key role While many tech standards efforts are focused on interoperability, stewards of technologies like AI and brain-computer interfaces that are pushing the boundaries of human-machine interaction have a more pressing set of concerns, said Brad Shimin, principal analyst for AI and data analytics at Omdia. China’s new committee and groups like the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) aiming to articulate these emerging standards will need to put ethical and safety considerations at the forefront of their agendas, he said. “These organizations will have the difficult task of providing ethical guidance, offering a sustainable foundation…

According to Tianjin University, this is “the world’s first open-source brain-on-a-chip intelligent complex information interaction system” and could lead to the development of brain-like computing.”[This] “This is a technology that combines an in vitro-cultured ‘brain’, such as a cerebral organoid, with an electrode chip to form a ‘brain-on-a-chip’ to encode and decode stimulation feedback,” Ming Dong, vice president of Tianjin University, told the state-run Science and Technology Daily on Tuesday.BCI technology has attracted widespread attention thanks to the Elon Musk-backed Neuralink, an implantable interface designed to allow patients to control devices using only their thoughts.Tianjin University now says its research…
