Primeramente sería interesante habla de la definición de inteligencia y una explicación podría ser: “La inteligencia se define como la capacidad de entender, comprender y aplicar conocimientos, razonar, resolver problemas y adaptarse al entorno.” Tener en cuenta que en todos los mitos creacionistas siempre que se le da al hombre el alito de vida se le da la inteligencia. En el Génesis, Dios sopla en la nariz de Adán y este se convierte en un “alma viviente”. Pero ese aliento no es solo oxígeno...es inteligencia, capacidad de nombrar las cosas, de distinguir, de elegir. Si eso es inteligencia ¿ la IA que es? Una definición que nos dan es; Disciplina científica que se ocupa de crear programas informáticos que ejecutan operaciones comparables a las que realiza la mente humana. Como el aprendizaje y el razonamiento lógico.Pero hay dos capacidades críticas que siguen siendo exclusivas de los seres humanos: la auténtica invención y la creatividad, por eso la verdadera AGI todavía no la tenemos ( Me refiero al comun de los mortales, los dueños del cortijo no lo sabemos) Otra cosa bien distinta es el conocimiento, que puede ha veces también traer problemas, como veremos más adelante. Y siempre un conocimiento superior da ventaja a aquel que lo posee sobre el que no. El Poder, detrás del velo de la IA y de la Agenda Transhumanista. No es una simple mejora tecnológica, sino un proyecto milenario y oscuro para someter a la humanidad a un control total, utilizando la programación mental y los rituales como herramientas fundamentales para transformar a los humanos en seres dóciles y previsibles. El transhumanismo no busca mejorar a la humanidad, sino "restar", es decir, crear una infrahumanidad funcional y dócil. En lugar de sumar, el proyecto consistiría en una especie de ingeniería inversa: tomar lo mejor del ser humano (la inteligencia colectiva, la creatividad, el libre albedrío) y limitarlo para crear un "esclavo más eficaz". Es un proyecto de dos caras. Mientras una élite minoritaria se convierte en suprahumanidad (eugenismo), la mayoría de la población es degenerada a una condición de infrahumanidad (disgenismo), convirtiéndose en una especie de zombis que alimentan el sistema con su energía vital. Robotización del humano frente a humanización del robot. la cuestión crucial no es la humanización del robot (es decir, hacer que los robots parezcan humanos), sino la robotización del humano. Esta robotización no significa parecerse a una máquina, sino comportarse de una manera "inhumana": sin libertad, sin sentimientos, sin creatividad, sin preguntarse por el sentido de la vida. Hablar de IA es hablar de una tecnología clave y disruptiva que va a alterar numerosos aspectos de nuestras vidas. Pero hay que dejar algo claro: esta tecnología está siendo manejada y dosificada por el poder real, los verdaderos amos del mundo. No sabemos quiénes son, pero sí sabemos que no son las marionetas que nos ponen en escena. Sabemos, eso sí, que son los mismos que manejan la liquidez del sistema monetario internacional, creando ciclos de crisis y orden de los que siempre sacan provecho. Existe un poder oculto, también conocido como “Estado profundo”, que canaliza de forma importante los flujos emocionales y energéticos de la sociedad. Utilizan técnicas ancestrales y conocimientos transmitidos entre iniciados, que se centran, entre otras cosas, en conseguir el control social de la forma más práctica y económica posible para ellos. A la vista de todos, usan a líderes y estrellas como arquetipos para los no iniciados, desde presidentes hasta directivos de grandes empresas. Al mismo tiempo, en el "obscenario" y apartados de la vista de todos, realizan otros rituales donde lo sincronizan todo según sus creencias, donde siempre hablan de la LUZ, aquella que robó Prometeo y mirar el infierno que le tocó padecer después de adquirir el conocimiento que los dioses no querían que tuviera. Lo que es crucial entender es que estas tecnologías tan relevantes están siendo planificadas, manejadas y dosificadas desde el mismo centro del poder. Nos hacen creer que hay diferentes empresas que compiten entre sí por el mercado, pero esa disputa escenificada no es real. Todas trabajan para los mismos amos, con un objetivo ya marcado: avanzar en su agenda a medida que la sociedad normaliza sus ideas. Este es el primer punto clave: la relación entre la IA y el transhumanismo. Debemos abordar este concepto porque la fusión hombre-máquina es uno de los objetivos de la agenda de control. Buscan crear un tipo de “ser híbrido”, sin alma y fácil de controlar. Un futuro distópico que podría cumplirse si no nos oponemos a ello. El momento crucial para la consecución de sus objetivos sería cuando, una vez normalizado el asunto, consigan fabricar "humanos" mediante vientres artificiales. Con esto, tendrían solucionado el tema del control social. Podrían hacer "impresiones de andróginos" en la medida que los necesiten, igual que emiten el dinero que quieren. Serían personas desarraigadas, sin familia, sin descendencia y quizás incluso sin genitales. Su inteligencia estaría genéticamente limitada según la tarea que deban desempeñar. Podrían incluso crear emisiones especiales de híbridos con electrónica insertada en su organismo, conectados a redes y potenciados en sus capacidades, lo que supondría un grado de control inimaginable. Pero esperemos que la sociedad reaccione y evite estos peligros. Ahora que hemos enmarcado la situación, es hora de pasar a los orígenes de la inteligencia artificial. La historia oficial nos suele presentar estos hitos como hechos aislados, para que no entendamos las conexiones ni miremos debajo de la alfombra. Pero si descodificamos la historia, veremos que la idea de la IA no es un invento reciente, sino que tiene raíces profundas en la filosofía, los mitos y las tradiciones ancestrales. La história podría empezar perfectamente con la historia de Adán y Eva y su expulsión del paraiso por la adquisición del conocimiento prohibido."Si comes de este fruto, serás como Dios. Conocerás el bien y el mal." Dijo la serpiente y Adan y eva al igual que Prometeo también acabaron castigados por Dios. En Génesis 3:22, se dice: “Ahora el hombre ha venido a ser como uno de nosotros, al conocer el bien y el mal. Que no extienda ahora su mano y tome también del árbol de la vida, y coma, y viva para siempre…”. ¿Qué tipo de conocimiento adquiere Eva? No se trata de conocimiento técnico o científico, sino algo más profundo y existencial: Conocimiento moral: la capacidad de distinguir entre el bien y el mal. Autoconciencia: al instante, Eva (y luego Adán) se da cuenta de que está desnuda. Esto implica vergüenza, intimidad, juicio propio. Libre albedrío: al desobedecer, ejerce una elección. Ya no es solo criatura, sino agente. Comer del fruto es adquirir la conciencia humana tal como la entendemos hoy: saber que uno existe, que puede decidir, y que sus actos tienen consecuencias. Las manzanas envenenadas🧙‍♀️ Blancanieves📖 Eva en el Edén🧪 Alan Turing (leyenda urbana) Se dice que murió tras comer una manzana envenenada con cianuro, aunque no está confirmado. Curiosamente, el logo de Apple con una manzana mordida ha alimentado esta teoría. 🎯 Guillermo Tell Obligado a disparar con una ballesta a una manzana colocada sobre la cabeza de su hijo. Aunque no estaba envenenada, el riesgo era mortal. Podríamos hablar de Talos el primer "androide" de la historia.Talos era un gigante de bronce, forjado por Hefesto (el dios herrero) por encargo de Zeus o de Minos, rey de Creta (según la versión). Tenía una única vena que recorría su cuerpo entero, sellada con un clavo o perno de bronce en el tobillo. En lugar de sangre, su cuerpo contenía "icor", el fluido vital de los dioses. En la edad media en el siglo XIIl el trabajo de Ramón Llull, conocido como el Ars Magna, puede considerarse un precursor conceptual de la inteligencia artificial. Mas adelante si hay tiempo hablaremos de él. En la alquimia, la idea de fabricar un "hombre artificial" o homúnculo fue explorada por figuras como Paracelso, quien describió procedimientos para su creación. Similarmente, los alquimistas islámicos investigaron el concepto de takwin, la creación artificial de vida. En Praga en el siglo XVI los judios hablan del Golem, criatura sin alma creada para servir al hombre. hecha de barro o arcilla y animada mediante palabras sagradas, la inserción de nombres divinos. Con el advenimiento del siglo XIX, estas visiones se trasladaron al ámbito de la ficción literaria. Obras como "Frankenstein" de Mary Shelley exploraron las implicaciones éticas de crear seres conscientes, mientras que "R.U.R." (Rossum's Universal Robots) de Karel Čapek, publicada en 1920, introdujo el término "robot" al léxico global, marcando un punto de inflexión en la conceptualización de las máquinas con capacidad de trabajo autónomo. Y aquí en este punto es cuando entramos en los años 50 son considerados el punto de partida oficial de la inteligencia artificial moderna. Aunque hubo ideas previas, fue en esa década cuando la IA empezó a tomar forma como disciplina científica. Aquí te dejo los hitos clave: 🔹 1950: Alan Turing y su famosa prueba Publica "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" y propone el Test de Turing, una forma de evaluar si una máquina puede pensar como un humano. 🔹 1956: Conferencia de Dartmouth Organizada por John McCarthy, quien acuñó el término "Inteligencia Artificial". Reunió a pioneros como Marvin Minsky y Claude Shannon para discutir cómo crear máquinas inteligentes. 🔹 Primeros modelos y algoritmos Se desarrollan los primeros perceptrones (redes neuronales simples) por Frank Rosenblatt en 1958. Se crean programas capaces de jugar a las damas o resolver teoremas matemáticos. 🧪 Aunque los avances eran limitados por la tecnología de la época, estos años sentaron las bases para todo lo que vino después: aprendizaje automático, redes neuronales profundas, procesamiento de lenguaje natural… ¡y hasta Hoy! Para empezar este recorrido, es fundamental detenernos en la figura de Ramon Llull, un filósofo, teólogo y cortesano del siglo XIII. Nacimiento: 1232, Palma de Mallorca, España. Fallecimiento: 1316, en el Mediterráneo. El trabajo de Llull, conocido como el Ars Magna, puede considerarse un precursor conceptual de la inteligencia artificial. Pero no es un conocimiento que se le ocurriera de la nada. Como buen cortesano y perteneciente a una buena familia, Llull era conocedor de saberes ancestrales recogidos en otras tradiciones, que simplemente se expresan de otra manera. La relación entre su trabajo y la IA moderna se basa en varios puntos clave. Para empezar, la mecanización del razonamiento. El Ars Magna partía de la premisa de que el razonamiento y la verdad podían descomponerse en principios básicos. Llull representaba estos conceptos con letras y los organizaba en figuras geométricas como círculos concéntricos que podían ser girados. El objetivo era combinar estos principios de forma sistemática para generar proposiciones lógicamente válidas, demostrando verdades de forma infalible. Esta idea de un sistema mecánico que genera conocimiento de forma automática a partir de reglas definidas es la base de los sistemas computacionales y de la IA. Es lo que podríamos llamar una "máquina lógica". En este sentido, la conexión de Llull con la Cábala y la gematría es evidente. El Ars Magna se basa en un sistema simbólico donde las letras tienen un significado profundo. Su método de combinar principios es comparable a las técnicas cabalísticas de gematría (la interpretación numérica de las letras) y la combinación de las letras del alfabeto hebreo para obtener conocimientos ocultos. La idea subyacente es la misma: que la verdad y la sabiduría están codificadas en los símbolos y pueden ser reveladas a través de su manipulación sistemática. Podríamos decir que Llull inventó el primer "hardware" de pensamiento simbólico, aunque su "software" fuera más filosófico que informático. Mecanización del razonamiento: El Ars Magna partía de la premisa de que el razonamiento y la verdad podían ser descompuestos en principios básicos. Llull representaba estos conceptos con letras y los organizaba en figuras geométricas (discos giratorios). El objetivo era combinar estos principios de forma sistemática para generar proposiciones lógicas válidas. Esta idea de un sistema mecánico que, a partir de reglas y principios definidos, genera conocimiento de forma automática, es la base de los sistemas computacionales y la IA moderna. Los Dignidades de Dios o Principios Absolutos: Representados por letras de la B a la K, Llull consideraba que estos eran atributos divinos universales y perfectos. Son: B - Bondad C - Grandeza D - Eternidad E - Poder F - Sabiduría G - Voluntad H - Virtud I - Verdad K - Gloria Principios Relativos: Estos conceptos representaban relaciones entre los principios absolutos y se usaban para generar proposiciones lógicas. Incluyen: Diferencia Concordancia Contrariedad Principio Medio Fin Mayoridad Igualdad Minoridad Al combinar estos principios de forma mecánica, Llull creía que se podía demostrar cualquier verdad de manera infalible, creando así la primera "máquina de pensar" de la historia. El concepto de combinatoria: La obra de Llull se fundamenta en el arte de la combinatoria, explorando todas las relaciones lógicas posibles entre los conceptos a través del movimiento de sus discos. Este enfoque es un antecedente directo de la computación y la IA, donde los algoritmos y programas informáticos no son más que un conjunto de instrucciones que combinan datos y operaciones de manera sistemática para resolver problemas. Lenguaje y símbolos artificiales: Llull creó un alfabeto artificial de nueve letras para representar y manipular conceptos. De manera similar, la IA se construye sobre lenguajes de programación, que son sistemas simbólicos con reglas precisas diseñados para que las máquinas puedan procesar información y ejecutar operaciones de forma estructurada. En resumen, aunque el Ars Magna no era una computadora en el sentido moderno, la visión de Llull de que el pensamiento podía ser mecanizado y manipulado a través de un sistema de símbolos y reglas combinatorias es un antecedente directo de los principios que rigen la inteligencia artificial. De hecho, su influencia fue reconocida por figuras posteriores como el filósofo y matemático Gottfried Leibniz, quien también se considera un pionero de la computación. Podríamos decir que Llull inventó el primer "hardware" de pensamiento simbólico, aunque su "software" fuera más filosófico que informático. La gracia de la historia es que él quería convencer a herejes y, sin saberlo, sentó las bases para que hoy una IA te esté respondiendo Tanto la Cábala como el Ars Magna se basan en un sistema simbólico donde las letras y los números tienen un significado profundo. El método de Llull para combinar sus principios es comparable a las técnicas cabalísticas de gematría (interpretación numérica de las letras) y la combinación de las letras del alfabeto hebreo para obtener conocimientos ocultos. La idea subyacente es que la verdad y la sabiduría están codificadas en los símbolos y pueden ser reveladas a través de su manipulación sistemática. En resumen podemos entrever que Llull como buen cortesano y perteneciente a una buena familia era conocedor de conocimientos ancestrales recogidos en otras tradiciones y simplemente se expresan de otra manera. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Cleón la contracción entre clon y eón. Un eón es una unidad de tiempo geológico de escala extremadamente larga, utilizada para dividir la historia de la Tierra en los períodos más amplios. Representa miles de millones de años y es la división más grande en la escala de tiempo geológico, por encima de las eras, períodos, épocas y edades. Por ejemplo, la historia de la Tierra se divide en cuatro eones principales algunos de más de 2000 millones de años. Vivimos actualmente en el Fanerozoico que se traduce como "vida visible" o "vida evidente". Este término fue acuñado para describir el eón geológico que comenzó hace aproximadamente 541 millones de años Reglamento Europeo sobre Inteligencia Artificial (LA LEY 16665/2024) casualmente tiene un 666 ………………………………………………………………………………………. Hector, el webmaster del hilo rojo decía en un reciente programa sobre Palantir: “Palantir es el panóptico del siglo XXI. El ojo del gran hermano de Orwell.” El panoptico es un tipo de diseño que nos permite controlar un amplio espacio desde un único punto sin ser detectados. Se trata de la garita del vigilante en medio de la prisión, de la torre de control. El filósofo utilitarista Jeremy Bentham fue su diseñador, Hector nos mostró como este señor era también masón y estaba relacionado al mas alto nivel. Les dejaremos el enlace al video en la descripción del podcast. En un anterior programa de enero donde en el mismo canal analizaron que es Palantir comprobaba yo para preparar este podcast que TODAS las fuentes que presentaba @ElHiloRojoTV en su video de enero de 2025 habian DESAPARECIDO. Estamos hablando de artículos publicados en Forbes, The Guardian, Bloomberg, Financial Times, CNBC o incluso el propio MIT. En todos los casos el enlace original ha desaparecido, ojo, no digo que haya desaparecido el artículo en sí, pero han cortado el enlace original. Leo textualmente de una descripción del Hilo rojo sobre lo que es Palantir añadiendo yo algunas cosas: Creada en 2003 con el apoyo de In-Q-Tel, el fondo de inversión de la CIA, Palantir se diseñó para procesar grandes cantidades de información y hacer conexiones invisibles para el ojo humano. Su fundador, Peter Thiel, también cofundador de PayPal, ha estado siempre en la intersección entre tecnología, poder y vigilancia global. Palantir no solo analiza datos, sino que los fusiona en tiempo real: redes sociales, correos electrónicos, transacciones bancarias y hasta movimientos físicos. ¿Os acordáis del PNR? Pues esto es aún mucho más intrusivo ya que muchísimas organizaciones y países han acordado compartir sus bases de datos con Palantir. ¿Qué significa esto? Una red de control total, donde cada actividad queda registrada, permitiendo a gobiernos y corporaciones predecir comportamientos y tomar decisiones basadas en modelos algorítmicos. Palantir es utilizada por el Pentágono, la NSA, la CIA, el FBI, Interpol y gobiernos europeos y latinoamericanos. También lo utilizan grandes empresas como bancos o multinacionales. Sus herramientas se usan en operaciones antiterroristas, control de fronteras, vigilancia de ciudadanos y hasta persecución de disidentes políticos. ¿Hasta qué punto este nivel de vigilancia está transformando las democracias en estados de control absoluto? Su software ha sido utilizado en conflictos como la guerra en Ucrania, ayudando a identificar objetivos estratégicos y a procesar inteligencia en tiempo real. Palantir convierte el Big Data en un arma de guerra: soldados equipados con dispositivos conectados a su red pueden recibir información detallada sobre el enemigo en segundos. ¿Estamos entrando en una era donde la guerra es digital antes que física? A medida que más gobiernos y empresas adoptan Palantir, los límites entre seguridad, privacidad y control social se vuelven borrosos. ¿Es Palantir una herramienta para el bien o el paso final hacia una sociedad hipervigilada? ………………………………………………………………………………………. Los origenes de Palantir están en la Oficina de Conciencia de la Información ( IAO ) fue establecida por la Agencia de Proyectos de Investigación Avanzada de Defensa de los Estados Unidos (DARPA) en enero de 2002 para reunir varios proyectos de DARPA centrados en la aplicación de la vigilancia y la tecnología de la información para rastrear y monitorear a terroristas y otras amenazas asimétricas a la seguridad nacional de los Estados Unidos mediante el logro de " Conciencia de la Información Total “ o en inglés "Total Information Awareness" (TIA). Sí. La TIA, la agencia secreta para la que trabajaban Mortadelo y Filemón ha existido. La IAO se creó después de que el almirante John Poindexter , ex asesor de seguridad nacional de los Estados Unidos del presidente Ronald Reagan , y el ejecutivo de SAIC Brian Hicks se acercaran al Departamento de Defensa de los EE. UU . con la idea de un programa de concientización sobre la información después de los ataques del 11 de septiembre de 2001. Querían reunir la mayor cantidad de información de la historia. Leemos en la wikipedia: “El 2 de agosto de 2002, Poindexter dio un discurso en DARPAtech 2002 titulado "Descripción general de la Oficina de Concienciación sobre la Información" en el que describió el programa TIA. Además del programa en sí, la participación de Poindexter como director de la IAO también generó inquietud entre algunos, ya que había sido condenado anteriormente por mentir al Congreso y alterar y destruir documentos relacionados con el caso Irán-Contra , aunque esas condenas fueron posteriormente revocadas con el argumento de que el testimonio utilizado en su contra estaba protegido.” ¿A que se dedicaba esta agencia? Veamos lo que nos dice la wikipedia: “Se logró mediante la creación de enormes bases de datos informáticas para recopilar y almacenar la información personal de todos los residentes de Estados Unidos, incluyendo correos electrónicos personales, redes sociales, registros de tarjetas de crédito, llamadas telefónicas, historiales médicos y muchas otras fuentes, sin necesidad de una orden de registro. La información se analizaba posteriormente para detectar actividades sospechosas, conexiones entre individuos y "amenazas". El programa también incluía financiación para tecnologías de vigilancia biométrica que permitieran identificar y rastrear a personas mediante cámaras de vigilancia y otros métodos. Tras las críticas públicas de que el desarrollo y la implementación de la tecnología podrían llevar a un sistema de vigilancia masiva, el Congreso retiró la financiación de la IAO en 2003. Sin embargo, varios proyectos de la IAO siguieron financiándose bajo nombres diferentes, como reveló Edward Snowden durante las revelaciones de vigilancia masiva de 2013.” El pionero y más relevante programa de predictividad subjetiva fue la Strategic Subject List (SSL) elaborada en el año 2012 por el Instituto de Tecnología de Illinois, adoptado por la Policía de Chicago desde el año 2012. Ya en el año 2017, el conjunto de datos incluía a 398.684 personas. Han existido programas predictivos como Programa de Delincuentes Crónicos (2011-2019, PredPol y Operación LÁSER (Extracción y Restauración Estratégica en Los Ángeles), estos dos polémicos programas predictivos empleados durante una década por la Policía de Los Ángeles (LAPD), ahora ya desactivados por la cantidad de abusos y fallos cometidos. Dice Luis Lafont en su tesis “La policía predictiva más allá de Minority Report”: “Las empresas que desarrollan programas predictivos se escudan con frecuencia en el secreto comercial para no revelar los criterios que se siguen en la elaboración del algoritmo y evitar que otras compañías puedan copiar el software. Ello determina que los sistemas predictivos siguen de forma mayoritaria un modelo de caja negra que no explica al público en general ni a los usuarios los argumentos y razonamientos detrás de la predicción, en particular por quienes deben aplicarlas.” También en Europa, los sistemas predictivos de vigilancia policial se utilizan para anticipar y prevenir delitos mediante el análisis de datos. En Francia, el Analyst Notebook (i2AN) se emplea para combatir estructuras criminales y terrorismo, conectando personas y crímenes. En Italia, KeyCrime predice atracos analizando características de sospechosos y modus operandi. En los Países Bajos, el CAS identifica áreas de riesgo delictivo mediante mapas espacio-temporales. En Alemania, PRECOBS, SKALA y KIMPRO predicen la repetición de crímenes usando patrones geográficos. En el Reino Unido, Predpol, Gang Matrix y HART se centran en puntos calientes, bandas y reiteración criminal. En España, el P3-DSS (Predictive Police Patrolling) genera mapas de puntos calientes para optimizar patrullajes, EuroCop Pred-Crime apoya la predicción de delitos, y VioGen se enfoca en prevenir la violencia de género, mientras que un programa de la Guardia Civil predice incendios forestales mediante perfiles psicosociológicos. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

How do we bridge the skills gap in UK manufacturing while pushing the boundaries of automation technology? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Mark Gray, UK and Ireland Country Manager at Universal Robots, to explore how collaborative robots, or cobots, are rewriting the rules for companies big and small. Universal Robots, founded by three university professors in Denmark about twenty years ago, brought the world its first cobot and recently celebrated a landmark achievement with the sale of its 100,000th unit worldwide. Mark unpacks how this milestone reflects a shift in how industries from aerospace to pharmaceuticals now approach automation. He shares how the company's easy-to-deploy cobots help tackle the tasks that many workers prefer to avoid, focusing on the dirty, dangerous, and repetitive jobs, freeing human talent for higher-value work. But this conversation goes deeper than robot arms on production lines. Mark's passion lies in addressing the UK's well-documented skills shortage, a topic that resonates with manufacturers across the country. He explains why Universal Robots is investing in free technical training courses for apprentices, aiming to equip young people with practical robotics skills and inspire fresh interest in engineering and manufacturing careers. Based in Sheffield, Mark also reveals how the city's industrial heritage and its connections with institutions like the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre help nurture a vibrant robotics ecosystem, attracting startups and fostering local innovation. We discuss the growing adoption of cobots by small and medium-sized enterprises, the impact of labour shortages on automation strategies, and how businesses can begin their journey without overhauling entire production lines at once. From practical roadshows to free line-walk audits, Mark outlines the resources available for any company curious about automation. Whether you're a manufacturing leader looking for ways to future-proof operations or a young listener intrigued by robotics as a career, this episode shows how thoughtful investment in skills and technology can shape a more productive and resilient future for the UK and beyond. Could cobots be the missing link between today's workforce challenges and tomorrow's manufacturing success? Let's find out. Here's the link to the Kraftwerk video    

Christopher Savoia, head of ecosystem success – Americas at Universal Robots, joins Double Take to discuss the collaborative future of robots and AI technology, driving innovation and efficiency in various industries.

If robots take over the world what would be their relationship to humans? Would it be a carefree utopia with happy automatons cheerfully laboring away while people enjoy a life of leisure or will the robots develop ideas and aspirations of their own, eventually viewing their human creators as archaic inferior predecessors, in-fact outdated models?This is the concept behind Bo List's R.U.R. a world premiere production, freely adapted from the play Rossum's Universal Robots by Karel Capek playing now at City Lit Theatre, directed by Brian Pastor.

Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met striptekenaar Milan Hulsing. Hulsing's nieuwe graphic novel VOETSPOREN bevat vijf verhalen van de Tsjechisch schrijver, criticus en journalist Karel Čapek verteld en getekend door Milan Hulsing. Karel Čapek (1890-19380 is het bekendst om zijn science fiction-werk, waaronder de roman Oorlog met de salamanders (1936) en het toneelstuk R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots, 1920), dat het woord robot wereldwijd introduceerde. In het jaar 1929 experimenteerde Čapek met het korte verhaal en schreef er één per week. Wat aanvankelijk humoristische anecdotes waren, evolueerde al snel tot unieke, humanistische miniatuurtjes met elementen van humor, het mysterie- en het detective-genre. VOETSPOREN introduceert vijf van de beste ervan voor het eerst in het Nederlands taalgebied. Milan Hulsing tekent en schrijft strips voor een volwassen publiek. Zijn bekenste graphic novels zijn de bewerkingen van de romans De Aanslag en Al Khaldiya (Stad van Klei). Tevens is hij bekend om filmgerelateerde illustraties.

Vært: Henrik Heide Bjørn Godske Medvirkende: Anders Billesø Beck, teknologidirektør hos Universal Robots I denne uges Transformator Chatgpt, hallucinationer, sprogmodeller - vi har fået udvidet vores ordforråd med en lang række begreber, siden AI blev tilgængelig for alle for et par år siden. For mange med en blandet følelse. En blanding af facination og forskrækkelse. Men langsomt vænner vi os til AI som en integreret del af vores computere og mobiler. Men hvad sker der, når AI snart rykker ud i den fysiske verden med de robotter vi samarbejder med ude i virksomhederne? Robotarmene, der før skulle instrueres i mindste detalje, men som snart tager en AI med ind i samarbejdet med forslag om at gøre arbejdet på en anden og måske bedre måde. Transformator har besøgt teknologidirektøren i Danmarks mest succesrige robotvirksomhed Universal Robots i Odense for at høre, hvor langt de er kommet - og hvor robotterne bevæger sig hen, når de kommer med en helt ny type algoritme under armen.

This episode is based upon three readings: Alan Turing's Computing Machinery and Intelligence aka The Turing Test paper. Turing starts his paper by asking “can machines think?” before deciding that's a meaningless question. Instead, he invents something he calls “the imitation game” - a text conversation where the player has to guess whether they are chatting with another person or with an AI. ChatGPT was such a bombshell because it easily and consistently passes this “Turing Test” by giving human-like responses to questions. Here's the issue: the Turing Test is based upon AI deception, not thinking. Turing set out to ask Can Machines Think? and ended up showing how easily AI can deceive us. Karel Čapek's Rossum's Universal Robots. This is the first AI Takeover story. It's a play written in 1920 about a factory manufacturing artificial persons. Čapek introduced the word Robot to the English language - it's derived from robota, a Czech word meaning forced labor. Čapek's robots are supposed to be the ultimate workers, free from distracting human needs and desires. Yet, they mysteriously start to glitch, gnashing their teeth, freezing up. When they are given guns and asked to fight humanity's wars, they become super soldiers as well as perfect workers. Anyone who has seen Blade Runner, The Terminator, or Battlestar Galactica - all inspired by Čapek's play - knows what happens next. Rossum's Universal Robots is the original AI takeover story, as well as being a dead-on satire of twentieth century ideas like Fordism and nationalism. Joanna Bryson's Robots Should be Slaves. Bryson, a computer scientist, makes a provocative intervention into AI ethics. She argues that as AI becomes more advanced, and robots more lifelike, we are going to get dangerously confused: we'll want to give robots rights that they cannot and should not have. Bryson argues that robots are owned by us and should be seen and used as property. She wants to avoid conflating the human and the mechanical, yet, by using the terminology of slavery, she introduces into the AI debate the very thing she seeks to deny - the concept of human rights.

It's the UConn Popcast, and in the second of our series on Thinking Machines we consider Karel Čapek's “Rossum's Universal Robots” (1920). Čapek's play invented the word “robot” and pioneered the genre of the AI uprising. The play - a clear influence on works such as 2001, Blade Runner, The Terminator, and Battlestar Galactica – is a deep rumination on the boundary between the natural and artificial, the mechanical and the ineffable, and the sacred and the profane. We react to this seminal work in popular thinking about artificial intelligence, written more than a century ago yet retaining deep resonance today. Music by Aiva. Learn more about your ad choices.

Additive manufacturing and robots are parallel technologies, both digitally enabled tools for manufacturing that are advancing in adoption. But they also enable each other. 3D printing can provide the grippers, end effectors and other specialized tooling that robots require to serve production. And robots are driving AM forward as well. Collaborative robots or cobots are being used to tend 3D printer farms, sometimes mounted on autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) for a fully mobile, as well as automated, solution. And robots are opening opportunities for larger and more complex part production, by providing the motion for a growing number of large format additive manufacturing (LFAM) systems. In this episode of AM Radio, Gardner Business Media Robots & Autonomy editor Julia Hider joins Stephanie Hendrixson and Pete Zelinski to discuss how AM and robots interact, and specific examples of this interaction.   Find photos, video, related links and the transcript for this episode on AdditiveManufacturing.Media.   This episode is brought to you by The Cool Parts Show.

This month, we keep things close to home, which makes sense given that last month we were quite far from home. We go small like we’ve never gone before, diving into a local adaptation of R.U.R., or Rossum’s Universal Robots, by Karel Čapek. It’s not necessary to have gone to our local theater for the … Continue reading It’s not Jersey Boys! R.U.R, by Karel Čapek →

The world's first “cobot hub” has opened in Denmark's third-largest city, Odense. The new $45 million headquarters for Teradyne-owned Universal Robots and MiR (Mobile Industrial Robots) is hoping to capitalize on a growing demand for collaborative robots in industries, such as logistics, pharmaceutical, food, beverage, and more. The new 20,000-square-meter facility is intended to foster innovation between the two companies. Both Universal Robots and MiR build “cobots,” collaborative robots designed to work safely alongside humans. Universal Robots president Kim Povlsen says cobots first found their place in the automotive industry, but now they're popping up everywhere—from logistics and pharmaceutical to food, beverage, and more. “We're seeing the need for automation in pretty much every industry out there,” he says. Now, artificial intelligence is entering the scene, a “breakthrough within robotics,” says Universal Robots' vice president of strategy and innovation, Anders Billesoe Beck. “What we've seen in so many other industries is AI is the tool to bring the human reasoning into something that's more automated, and that's really some of the barriers for robotics today,” he says. “AI is really becoming a superpower, both to make the robot easier to program, but also to give them that sort of problem-solving capabilities and flexibilities that is sort of associated with human intelligence.” Universal Robots is collaborating with industry giants Siemens and Nvidia to bring AI into its cobots, such as this AI-generated quality inspection robot. “The robot moves around to a number of electronics components, quality-assuring that all the components are there. But all the motions in between is fully generated by AI,” explains Billesoe Beck. “It calculates where to go. It calculates to avoid any obstacles in the workspace. So, everything is run fully automatically." Odense is now considered one of Europe's main robotics hubs, with more than 160 companies. Soeren Elmer Kristensen, CEO of Odense Robotics, Denmark's national robot cluster, says the new cobot hub shows they are capable of keeping “big industries within the country.” “It's a big milestone, I would say, for cobots, in general. A big milestone for Danish robotics,” he says. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

In this groundbreaking episode of Tech Talks Daily, we're joined by Anders Beck, Vice President of Strategy and Innovation at Universal Robots, to explore the transformative role of AI in industrial automation. As we stand at the cusp of a new era in manufacturing, Beck guides us through how AI is revolutionizing factories and redefining the future of automation. We start by addressing a common misconception: while generative AI may be in its nascent stages, AI technology is already leaving a significant mark on the manufacturing industry. Beck shares insights into how AI, mainly through advancements in computer vision and perception technologies, enables robots to interact with the physical world in previously thought impossible ways. He highlights Apera AI's '4D Vision' technology, which grants robots humanlike perception, allowing them to understand and manipulate objects in disordered environments – a critical breakthrough in automation. Furthermore, Beck discusses how AI empowers robots to handle a variety of objects without the need for prior teaching or programming. This flexibility is crucial in modern manufacturing environments, where adapting to different shapes and sizes of objects can dramatically increase efficiency and reduce downtime. Precision in manufacturing is another focal point. Beck delves into how AI, as demonstrated by Inbolt's AI-based Inbrain technology, processes vast amounts of 3D data at high frequencies. This capability enables robots to perform tasks with incredible accuracy, such as the intricate assembly of gears, by adapting their trajectory in real-time based on the position and orientation of workpieces. Looking towards the future, Beck shares his vision of the 'future factory,' heavily reliant on AI and robotics. This evolution promises performance improvements, cost savings, and a significant shift in the roles of human workers, who can focus on more creative and less repetitive tasks. Throughout the episode, we will also cover the biggest challenges facing the integration of AI in manufacturing, from finding the right implementation strategies to training and understanding the iterative nature of AI development. Beck provides valuable advice for manufacturers looking to embrace AI, encouraging them to be bold and open-minded in piloting these technologies in natural production settings. This conversation with Anders Beck is not just about the present state of AI in industrial automation but also a look into the future – where AI and robotics are not just tools but integral parts of a brighter, more efficient, and innovative manufacturing landscape.

Robots are getting better and cheaper—and that means they will play a much larger role in our lives. They are already reaching beyond the car plants and warehouses, where they have become commonplace, to turn their mechanised hands to making cocktails and cooking chicken. But what will that mean for the economy?On this week's podcast, hosts Tom Lee-Devlin, Alice Fulwood and Mike Bird examine whether the rise of the machines is good for workers and hear from Korea, where there are more robots per factory worker than any other country on earth. Kim Povlsen, the boss of robot-maker Universal Robots, says greater automation is needed as populations age and labour shortages become increasingly severe. And Susanne Bieller from the International Federation of Robotics, a global industry group, gives a glimpse of what the future might have in store.Sign up for our new weekly newsletter dissecting the big themes in markets, business and the economy at www.economist.com/moneytalks For full access to print, digital and audio editions, subscribe to The Economist at www.economist.com/podcastoffer Hosted on Acast.

Some people still have the outdated image in their heads of China as a country of grim sweatshops and cheap manual labour. In fact, China is the country which boasts the largest number of robots deployed in the world. And that makes it a prime location for one of the newest category of industrial robot: the 'cobot', or collaborative robot.   Today's episode is with Andrew Pether, who has spent a decade in the field of robotics engineering in China, and over eight years working at the global vanguard in the world of collaborative robots: Universal Robots. So he is perfectly placed to observe the world of innovation and competition in this unique space in China.   The episode also includes catch-up interviews with: Michael Kinsey from Season 02 Episode 15 https://mosaicofchina.com/season-02-episode-25-michael-kinsey and Srinivas Yanamandra from Season 01 Episode 15 https://mosaicofchina.com/season-01-episode-15-srinivas-yanamandra Chapters 00:00 - Trailer & Intro 01:33 - Part 1 24:12 - Part 2 35:13 - Outro 39:05 - Catch-Up Interview [1] 42:53 - Catch-Up Interview [2] Subscribe to the PREMIUM version, see the visuals, and/or follow the full transcript for this episode at: https://mosaicofchina.com/season-03-episode-07-andrew-pether Join the community: Instagram https://instagram.com/oscology LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/mosaicofchina Facebook https://facebook.com/mosaicofchina WeChat https://mosaicofchina.com/wechat

The use of robots in North American workplaces has increased by 40% since the start of the pandemic and the small to medium sized businesses, which never automated before, are getting in on the act. The robotics industry has responded to the global increased demand by creating more and more customisable robots, which can be leased or hired. Ivana Davidovic explores what effect this has had - and could have in the future - on the labour markets, innovation, but also on social inequality. Ivana hears from a small restaurant owner from California who wouldn't be without her server robot Rosie any more, after months of being unable to fill vacancies. Joe Campbell from the Danish company Universal Robots and Tim Warrington from the British company Bots explain how they are taking advantage of the post-pandemic "great resignation" and which industries are next in line for a robotics boom. Karen Eggleston from Stanford University explains her research into the consequences of the use of robots in over 800 nursing homes in Japan and Daron Acemoglu from MIT discusses whether robots in workplaces will liberate their human colleagues or simply entrench inequality. Presented and produced by Ivana Davidovic (Photo: Robot waitress serving dessert and coffee on a tray in a cafe. Credit: Getty Images) *This episode was originally broadcast on 10 February 2022.
