Wired up coffee plants help farmers counter climate change

Researchers are 'wiring up' coffee plants with solar-powered sensors in Tanzania in a bid to understand how climate change is affecting the health of Arabica coffee plants in the region. Camilla Pandolfi from think tank PNAT explained how the technology works. Ilan Rubens has more.

The National Robotarium has bought Ameca, often called “the world’s most advanced” humanoid robot. This acquisition by the UK’s company for Robotics and artificial intelligence, based at Heriot-Watt University and in collaboration with The University of Edinburgh.

This will mark the predominant moment of a successful accomplishment towards attaining aimed goals that consider the need to engage the public with Humanoid Robot

I just did a 30-second internet search, and Tanzania coffee production is booming.

This "climate change" propaganda piece is just that.

It takes 30 seconds of curiosity and research to debunk hours or professionally produced political propaganda -- if one bothers to do it. Here are a couple of examples. There's plenty more.

This four-legged robot with wheels for feet makes Boston Dynamics' Spot robot look positively primitive. Created by Swiss Mile, a spin-off from E-T-H Zurich's Robotic Systems Lab, it can climb stairs (forwards or backwards, it's all the same to this thing) and rear up on two legs for greater height. This robot can perform a variety of tasks, including mapping, inspection, disaster relief, as well as logistics in urban environments.

Is the thing that's missing from AI programming a sense of morality and ethics?

But if that's to be programmed in, we get into questions like, "Whose sense of morality and ethics?" Judeo-Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and theirs and others' religious variations and interpretations. It's been debated and the subject of wars since the beginning of civilization, up to today.

Will different AI systems have different moral codes, depending on their creators' values?

Or will each system's morals and ethics be left up to it to reconcile the various systems and interpretations, and figure out for itself which path to choose? Will there be "good" and "evil" AI?

Might be time for them to consult with some religious scholars and fold that into the mix.

religious 'scholars' have been part of the problem from time immemorial...and they've been the powers or tools of the powers all along.
Used to divide people, control people, and persecute people.

will AI be any different...prolly not...just a tool of the powers that be

Of course, in addition to this>>

To put it simply, artificial intelligence is ‘intelligence’ exhibited by machines that may mirror human ability – the ability to learn, read, write, create, and analyze. (from next article)

*it will also mirror the bad traits

Religions -- of all types -- are what have established the moral and ethical bases for civilized societies.

And yes, they've been more or less corrupted at times, not unlike the politicians that they've produced.

In the end, it's GIGO, swayed by the writers of the algorithms and the GI that they've already digested and regurgitated thanks to the bias in the database that's reflected over the past 20+ years of social media and data manipulation.

The FBI (and other intel agencies) and certain cooperative news media have been known for a trick involving the FBI planting a story with a cooperative media contact who publishes it, then permitting the FBI to cite the "legitimate" news media as a seemingly unbiased source when, e.g. seeking warrants and wiretaps.

Similarly, AI can use "planted" information to establish facts, history, and analysis in order to make decisions that will affect the future.

AI can be a force multiplier for falsehood.
