Communications of the ACM: Artificial Intelligence
In 1967, English philosopher Philippa Foot wanted to discuss the doctrine of double effect2: The difficulty of evaluating acting from good intentions whilst also bringing about harm as a side effect. She invited readers to imagine being “the driver of a runaway tram which he can only steer from one narrow track onto another; five men are working...
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) will transform many aspects of our lives and society, bringing immense opportunities but also posing significant risks and challenges. The next several decades may well be a turning point for humanity, comparable to the industrial revolution. If so, future historians will judge how well we harnessed the...
In the past decade, computer vision (CV), machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) have been applied to problems in the history and interpretation of fine-art paintings and drawings. Such automated methods provide new tools for connoisseurs and art scholars and have resolved art-historical debates that proved resistant to traditional...
Embodied Artificial Intelligence (EAI) integrates artificial intelligence into physical entities like robots, endowing them with the ability to perceive, learn from, and dynamically interact with their environment. This post serves as a brief review of the history of EAI, its current developments, as well as a discussion of its future outlook. ...
A new era is emerging in which artificial intelligence (AI) will play an ever-increasing role in many facets of daily life. One defining characteristic of this new era is the ease with which novel content can be generated. Large language models (LLMs)—neural network-based models trained on vast quantities of text data4—are capable of creating...
It was 4:30 in the morning when I awoke to the loud buzzing at my apartment door. I’m not a morning person, so getting up is a chore. But this noise penetrated the walls of my tiny bedroom with such piercing aural dissonance that I quickly jumped out of bed, grabbed my robe, and made my way down the short hall to the front door.
