Welcome to the Momenta Learning News on Artificial Intelligence. This is issue 64, please feel free to share this post.
Researchers at Georgia Tech with support from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) have designed an ingenious – arguably – artificial intelligence (AI) software that will teach robots the difference between right and wrong. Through the art of storytelling, the software, called Quixote, should teach the robot acceptable behavior in social gatherings.

Neural lace isn’t just some hypothetical concept Musk is cooking up — there are real moves being made right now to develop this technology. Just last year, a group of nanotech chemists and engineers published a paper about an ultra-fine mesh that can merge with the brain, providing a flexible circuit that could interface with neurons.

Google quantum computer prototype with nine superconducting qubits. (Image courtesy of Google Research). The 8 Ball supercomputer, a spherical monolith that can harness the rules of quantum mechanics to solve vastly complex problems, is not real. It’s actually a quantum computer that appeared in a short story written by science fiction novelist Gregory Dale Bear last year.

Monday’s edition of the Federal Register contains new property disclosure requirements for mining companies and a review of artificial intelligence. Here’s what is happening: Artificial intelligence: The Obama administration is looking into artificial intelligence. The White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy announced Friday a request for information as it considers the challenges and opportunities presented by artificial intelligence.

Self-driving cars may be the new direction for the automotive industry, even though realistically it could be decades before we start seeing them all around us. That isn’t stopping some from pondering a moral dilemma these cars may pose. When you take the control away from the driver, you are giving the motor vehicle power to make judgment calls.

An anti-ship cruise missile (ASCM) developed by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that “thinks” thanks to its onboard artificial intelligence (AI) will arm U.S. Navy warships and strike aircraft beginning 2019 and U.S. Air Force combat aircraft in 2018.

Why the photo of a robot hugging Jimmy Fallon? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It just felt right. Google has its fingers in just about everything these days, and the tech giant is making a hard push into artificial intelligence. So, what do the brains working on AI view as the biggest problems moving forward?

Artificial intelligence (AI) on the rise with human simplemindedness this week as the former embraces the business opportunities being generated by the latter. The smart money is riding on big bot business ventures, starting with – who else? – Elon Musk.
