Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) the End of ‘Man’s Slavery'?

As the world continues to be pervaded by rapid technological advances characterized by increased automation and demand for cloud storage, there has been a notion that human work is set to be displaced with artificial intelligence (AI).

According to a report published on Forbes Magazine, Stanford is planning to host an event dubbed: “Intelligence Augmentation: AI Empowering People to Solve Global Challenges.” The imminent function was prompted by the misguided belief that AI will drive many individuals jobless.

Several AI researchers have advanced the narrative that “AI will supplement humans rather than substituting them.”

“AI is going to bring humans and machines closer together. It is not about machines replacing humans. Humans and machines have different relative strengths and weaknesses, and it’s about the combinations of these two that will allow human intents and business process to scale,” business leader Robin Bordoli was quoted by the Forbes Magazine.

Bordoli’s assertion is well summed up by former IBM CEO Gina Rometti who stated in a 2018 Wall Street Journal open editorial: “AI is better understood as augmented intelligence and complements rather than replaces human cognition.”

AI is credited for doing things more quickly, accurately and cheaply than humans can do. This means that AI can deliver tasks more accurately and cheaply where there’s no economic justification for continued human involvement.

How Human Noise Kills Marine Species, as revealed by Scientists

Scientists have warned that the discord of noise made by humans is harming marine species . A comprehensive assessment revealed that large noise from human activities was as harmful as pollution, overfishing and climate change . The study that was conducted by the Journal Science exposed how marine animals can hear from far distances than they can see or smell. According to a report published in the Guardian, most of the marine life uses sound to catch prey as well as attracting a mating partner. Prof Carlos Duarte of King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia argued that: “Marine animal can only sea up to around 10 meters, smell up to around a hundred meters, but they can hear across the entire ocean basins.” The research concluded that sound “is very important in the marine ecosystems, and noise is pervasive, affecting animals at all levels .” The increasing cacophony in the marine habitat is interfering with how marine animals respond to various survival...

Carbon dioxide to Make Jet Fuel, Study Reveals

Photo Source: twitter.com Aircrafts release a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which contributes to climate change. A research that was conducted by Science News and reported on December, 22 2020 stated that there was a new iron-based catalyst that has been invented to convert carbon dioxide into jet fuel. It is only a matter of time that carbon dioxide pumped to the atmosphere by planes could be sucked and used to power the same. The air travel’s footprint in carbon emissions could be tremendously curtailed, if the carbon dioxide that is released is recycled to generate fuel. As per Science News reports, Air transport contributes to about 12 percent of the entire transportation carbon-related emissions. Unlike cars, aircrafts cannot carry bigger batteries which can be run on electricity generated from wind or solar panels. The current breakthrough in the conversion of carbon dioxide to fuel involves cheap ingredients such as iron and transformed through a single s...

Why World Tycoons Should Emulate Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, in the Battle against Climate Change

The silent biggest global pandemic is global warming. Global problem deserves global attention; and that is why world moguls and leaders should use their influence to initiate change that can positively impact the world. Microsoft founder Bill Gates has consistently advocated for environment conservation and has been a key personality in the battle against climate change . Gates keen focus has been to increasing access to clean electricity in remote parts of the world. As a key defender of the environment, he is quoted by the Guardian saying that: “The idea of adding new electricity capacity- you can’t just go build coal plants.” The Guardian reported that Gates likes using private jets because he can get affordable fuel for flight. He revealed that he has already footed the bill of carbon footprint to a group dubbed Climeworks , a firm that captures up direct air in Iceland. Gates pointed out that the future of vehicles travels lie with electric cars; but excluded the el...
