The Anthropic case: Creativity on trial | Laura Morató | TEDxEsade Salon
TEDx Talks· 2025-11-12 17:20
Any of us can be best-selling authors and not only that we also can be script writers, musician, software developers, illustrators. But no, I'm not referring to the typical motivational phrase I will tell my daughter. You can be anything you want in life. I'm talking about something much more literal because today any of us can write a book in a matter of hours. So what has changed? It's not that we are suddenly smarter or that we became much more creative. What has happened is that AI has burst into the sc ...
War Without Killing | Worrachit Borkham | TEDxLCCUniversity
TEDx Talks· 2025-11-11 17:20
Core Argument - The central question explored is whether warfare without killing is possible, challenging the conventional reliance on lethal force to achieve military objectives [2][3] - The analysis suggests that while killing has been a convenient means to an end in warfare, alternative non-lethal approaches exist and warrant further exploration [6][7] - The report advocates for a shift towards integrating AI and unmanned technologies into military operations to reduce unnecessary pain and suffering [12] Technological Advancement - AI, particularly computer vision and deep learning, holds significant potential for integration into military technologies like drones, autonomous robots, and unmanned vehicles, enabling non-lethal control methods [10][11] - Examples include transitioning from robots with guns to robots with non-lethal guns, and from drones with bombs to drones with signal jammers [11] - The United Kingdom and Canada are actively developing AI technologies for military applications, highlighting a global trend [12][13] Ethical Considerations - The ethical implications of AI development in warfare must be carefully considered to ensure the right outcomes, emphasizing the need for ethical guidelines [13][14] - Despite potential dangers, AI, with proper ethical frameworks, can be a valuable tool for improving lives, society, and security [14] Practical Limitations & Future Directions - Current non-lethal weapons, such as neutralizer dart guns and non-lethal gas, have limitations, including dosage control and human vulnerability [7][8] - The development of fully practical AI machines capable of neutralizing enemies without killing remains a challenge, but continued exploration of alternatives is crucial [14] - The report encourages action and advocacy for change, urging individuals to reach out to NGOs, decision-makers, and leaders to raise awareness about the potential of AI in warfare [15][16]

Pushing ethical and legal boundaries is as old as the Republic and going strong. For every Elizabeth Holmes, there are entrepreneurs prone to stretching the truth who are celebrated instead of sitting in prison.Read more: https://t.co/FMac3hYpm0 https://t.co/hr09k4QPTO ...

RT Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex)Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life. ...

[Music] Hi everybody. My name is Dr. . McKenzie Bolan and I am a very proud neuroscientist.My credentials include a pretty cool PhD in biomedical sciences and having spent a substantial amount of time interacting with the US medical system following a head trauma.

RT Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal)SPINOZA: YOU DON'T NEED A GOD TO DO GOODBaruch Spinoza, the 17th-century heretic philosopher excommunicated from Judaism for thinking too freely, didn’t believe in a personal God who judges us. He didn’t believe in heaven, hell, or miracles.And yet, Spinoza believed in an absolute morality.How? Because for Spinoza, God wasn’t some sky-bound accountant tracking sin. God was nature itself - Deus sive Natura. The universe wasn’t cold or indifferent; it was divine.In this system, e ...

Ethical and Moral Considerations - AI technology enables digital resurrection, raising ethical concerns about consent and the use of deceased individuals' likenesses [3][4] - The core issue revolves around whether it is ethical to use the image and personality of deceased individuals to deliver created messages [5] - AI decisions reflect the decision tree implemented by its creator, blurring the lines of responsibility [6] - The technology reflects human moral and ethical boundaries, emphasizing the human element behind AI [13] - It is important to consider whether to seek consent from relatives when using the image and identity of deceased individuals [14] Legal and Regulatory Landscape - The digital world lacks the boundaries of the physical world, complicating legal frameworks for AI [7] - Partial regulations exist in various jurisdictions, such as Italy, South Korea, the US, and the European Union, addressing issues like deep fakes [8] - The industry needs to ask how to regulate AI and whether it is possible at all [9] - The industry should consider liability for content created by AI, emphasizing that legality depends on the user, not the technology [10] - Overregulation could stifle innovation and the beneficial uses of AI [16] Call to Action - The industry needs a global discussion and an ethical framework before law, emphasizing a consent-based approach [18] - Transparency guidelines are necessary to inform audiences whether content is AI-generated [18] - The industry should find its own ethical and moral boundaries to benefit from technology while providing a framework [19]
