Subscribe to Manufacturing

What would it be like to subscribe to a crane? A bulldozer? A 3d printer? It would have to go beyond a service contract, that’s for sure. It will include telematics, built in intelligence about what the machine is doing, as well as applied information from other sources--weather or market prices, for example. Maybe customers could access a fleet of machines based on their needs each month, like a Netflix for equipment. Or maybe they could pay for the machines on their premises based on the results of that machine.

Robots

With the increased use of AI for driverless cars, drones supporting police work, robots replacing human for repetitive work, four-legged robotic dogs for patrolling public parks, robots for elder care, I wonder how a robot would make a decision in such a scenario? 

As robots become more advanced, their ethical decision-making will only become more sophisticated. But this raises the question of how to program ethics into robots, and whether we can trust machines with moral decisions, if so, by what moral standards. These are the kinds of questions the society will have to confront much sooner than many of us are ready for.

Artificial intelligence

Deep Blue beat Garry Kasparov in 1997, humans did not stop playing chess. Rather, thanks to AI trainers human chess masters became better than ever, and at least for a while human–AI teams known as ‘centaurs’ outperformed both humans and computers in chess. AI might similarly help groom the best detectives, bankers and soldiers in history.
