Is the rise of the robots on the horizon? Not while closed doors, stairs, and uneven floors still pose a problem.

The Chinese search engine Baidu was found to have cheated in a computer science competition.
Voice recognition technology is getting better at understanding what we are saying, even if we only say part of what we mean. So how does it work?
Why would our software turn against us when without us it’s useless?
The more we automate jobs, the more we need to find new jobs for people, especially if the government wants us to stay in the workforce longer. That’s going to take some clever thinking.
Some economists and others have argued smart machines are increasingly stealing our jobs. In fact, the opposite may be true.
More STEM education isn’t a bad thing, but if we want to safeguard our jobs from being taken by machines, we need more emphasis on the humanities.
Artificial intelligence is the future, but are computers ready to take a seat at the board?
The debate over whether lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS) – often called ‘killer robots’ – should be banned continues, although it’s far from settled.
There are very few jobs that are can’t be done in principle by robots and artificial intelligence. What will you do when a robot takes your job?
Computers try to predict our behaviour and anticipate our needs, but sadly they often get things dreadfully wrong.
Should robots be treated with the same concern as any other intelligent being? Or are they unnatural, dangerous, to be eliminated?
If machines run by artificial intelligence take over the world it’s only because we programmed them to do so. So how can fuzzy logic help us prevent that?
Tech companies are investing big in artificial intelligence research that allows machines to learn things from scratch, with no pre-programmed rules. So what’s the potential for this new technology?
Some of the biggest players in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have joined together calling for any research to focus on the benefits we can reap from AI “while avoiding potential pitfalls”. Research into…
Pretty much all of us work with computers these days. The problem with computers is that while they can complete complex calculations and recall distant details, they’re terrible at sensing how you’re…
The possibility that advanced artificial intelligence (AI) might one day turn against its human creators has been repeatedly raised of late. Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, for instance, surprised…
In Australia, there are reports that up to half a million of existing jobs could be taken over by robotics or machines run by artificial intelligence. So with smarter computers taking on more of the work…
The immense popularity of social media seems to have redefined “privacy” from the sense of keeping information secret to being in control over how information is shared – among friends, colleagues, companies…
The human race has long designed and used tools to help us solve problems, from flint axes to space shuttles. They affect our lives and shape society in expected and sometimes unexpected ways. We may understand…
