Current Status, International Trends, Myths and Prospects of AI Application
Introduction
The term “artificial intelligence (AI) normally denotes a computer program, i.e. an
algorithm
, that is capable of solving problems which an adult human brain can solve. The
International Dictionary of Artificial Intelligence
[

] denotes AI as the area of knowledge that deals with ...

In the meantime, the US seems more interested in deflecting the smart questions of today than in building the smart factories of tomorrow. Nothing embodies this better than the recent attempt by MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) and the Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) to create an
AI-based filter
to “stamp out fake-news outlets before the stories spread too widely.”

... Even though AI technologies are developing rapidly, the “
black box
” problem, that is, the situation when decision-making algorithms remain hidden from developers, is still relevant. Thus, before entrusting decisions on deploying lethal weapons to artificial intelligence, we need to make AI itself far more transparent. However, a contradiction inevitably arises from the need to combine the comprehensibility of machine learning mechanisms with protecting them from the enemy, since data used by neural networks can be “poisoned” by deliberate ...

Experts from Russia, China, the United States, France, Britain, Japan, South Korea, India, and Pakistan, attended the event to discuss the possible impact of machine learning technologies, autonomous systems, and artificial intelligence on the development of weapons and the possibility of their use in conflicts.
As a result of the conference, joint recommendations were developed to reduce the risk of escalation of relations between nuclear powers and to prevent ...
As Strong Artificial Intelligence continues to develop, so does the range of jobs it can do
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think about the soon-to-come widespread introduction of robots and artificial intelligence (AI)? Endless queues of people waiting to get unemployment benefits? Skynet drones ploughing the sky over burnt-out slums? Or the opposite: idleness and equality provided by the labour of mechanical slaves? In all likelihood the reality will be less flashy,...
... Artificial Intelligence Development Plan and the Three-Year Action Plan discuss the need to encourage Chinese companies to carry out mergers and acquisitions of foreign partners. This policy has been successful. A few years ago, Chinese tech company Baidu opened its Silicon Valley Artificial Intelligence Lab, and in 2017, the company
opened
a second centre there for research and development of self-guided cars as part of the Apollo project. Soon after that, the company’s third centre in the US, the Business Intelligence Lab,...

Ethics and Artificial Intelligence
There is a well-known thought experiment in ethics called the trolley problem. The experiment raises a number of important ethical issues that are directly related to artificial intelligence. Imagine a runaway trolley going down the railway lines. There are five people tied to the track ahead. You are standing next to a lever. If you pull it, the trolley will switch to a different set of track. However, there is another person tied to that set of track. Do you pull the lever or not?...
