Top 26 robotic innovations in healthcare

brain operated bionic arm

Brain-operated bionic hand.

We are living in a time where the concept of robotic healthcare isn’t as foreign as it might seem.  In regard to healthcare, the surge of innovation is supported by a strong attention to the world of technology and robotics. The evolution of the healthcare market is astonishing. We are becoming more accustom to the idea of automation and exploring the possibilities with open minds rather than anxiety.

Pew Research: AI, robotics, and the future of jobs

robot

How will AI and robotics impact the economic and employment picture in the future?

A majority of people who responded to the Pew Research 2014 Future of the Internet canvassing anticipate that robotics and artificial intelligence will permeate wide segments of daily life by 2025. They anticipate there will be huge implications for a range of industries such as health care, transport and logistics, customer service, and home maintenance. But even as they are largely consistent in their predictions for the evolution of technology itself, they are deeply divided on how advances in AI and robotics will impact the economic and employment picture over the next decade.

The robots are here.

Robots are here now. There is proof of this concept in the amount of working automation in labs and warehouses right now. The video below combines two thoughts that reach an alarming conclusion: “Technology gets better, cheaper, and faster at a rate biology can’t match” + “Economics always wins” = “Automation is inevitable.”

Will the robot-job apocalypse be good or bad?

There is enough excess billions laying around at Google that they can pay the world’s brightest minds to just think for them. Hal Varian, the famed Berkeley economist, moonlights as Google’s chief economist and responded to Pew’s recent call on tech experts to predict what happens when robots begin to automate the current crop of existing jobs.

Artificial intelligence is more dangerous than nuclear weapons: Elon Musk

robot

AI is something all of us should “keep an eye on.”

Tesla CEO Elon Musk told CNBC back in June that he’d invested in a company called Vicarious that is developing products and services based on artificial intelligence. Musk wasn’t interested in the firm because of that. Instead he was backing the form “to keep an eye on” unforeseen terrifying scenarios where the products began to threaten humanity.

Top 9 ways Google is changing the world

Google Loon

Project Loon aims to bring internet access to the two-thirds of the world.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, last month, thumbed his nose at Google for its various “moonshot” projects, currently housed at Google’s semi-secret X Labs. When Nadella was asked if Microsoft could learn a thing or two from X Labs, he said that there’s always something to learn from “from people who market themselves well.”

‘Uncanniest valley’ – when robots know us better than we know ourselves

robot

Robots don’t judge. Humans do.

Japanese roboticist Mashahiro Mori coined the term “uncanny valley” in 1970 to describe the strange fact that, as robots become more human-like, we relate to them better—but only to a point. The ”uncanny valley” is this point.

Will killing robots with artificial brains be unethical in the future?

robot

In the future it’s possible we will be able to create artificially human brains that emulate a real human.

Imagine that in hundreds of years in the future it becomes possible to create an exact replica of any human brain on Earth. How should the copy be treated? Should scientists be allowed to experiment on it and, ultimately, put it down if it is no longer needed? After all, it is merely artificial intelligence (AI).
