The debate topic was: “This house believes that AI will never be ethical.” To proposers of the notion, we added the Megatron – and it said something fascinating: After such extensive research, it forms its own views.

In other words, the Megatron is trained on more written material than any of us could reasonably expect to digest in a lifetime. Like many supervised learning tools, it is trained on real-world data – in this case, the whole of Wikipedia (in English), 63 million English news articles from 2016-19, 38 gigabytes worth of Reddit discourse (which must be a pretty depressing read), and a huge number of creative commons sources. It was the Megatron Transformer, developed by the Applied Deep Research team at computer-chip maker Nvidia, and based on earlier work by Google. Along with the students, we allowed an actual AI to contribute.

We recently finished the "Ethics of AI" in our postgraduate Diploma in Artificial Intelligence for Business course with a debate at the celebrated Oxford Union, crucible of great debaters like William Gladstone, Robin Day, Benazir Bhutto, Denis Healey and Tariq Ali. We Invited an AI to Debate Its Own Ethics In the Oxford Union – What It Said Was Startling But before that happens, it plays flawlessly through hundreds of levels while the game itself is throwing up weirdo color schemes and scores from random places in its memory - the game’s creators didn’t imagine anyone or anything would get anywhere close to these levels. But how much better? Well, it can play all the way to the end of the game, which…did you know Tetris ended? I didn’t. With nearly instant reaction times, superhuman button tapping frequency, and an inability to fatigue, an AI called StackRabbit can play Tetris better than any human player. Looks like it had a stroke.īigger, faster, stronger: This is Ascento Pro! Our newest creation can climb full flights of stairs, drive at up to 12km/h-and all this for up to 8h per battery charge. This head and neck has 22 custom servo actuators - only 5 around the mouth which is not enough for really good lip sync - which is why its not speaking in this clip. This is a small motion test for a Mesmer robot head.
