Again the thinking about opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence

People will sometimes ask, what is artificial intelligence? The answer for that question is, that it’s about the computer program, what collects data from various sensors, compiles it with the database, and if there is action in some database, the system will accomplish it. The simplest way to make an example of that computer advantage is the program, what observes the space of computer hard disk. If the usage of this memory increases too high, the program would erase old data from that hard disk. Another way to give an example of that thing is the automatized control system of some airplanes. Then the airplane will rise it nose too fast, will the system make correlative movement independently without the human need to make anything. The artificial intelligence is very effective when a large mass of information need to handle. That system might be used as the selector, what will find risk companies from the many asks for start money.


The system might compile the profit and loss statements fixed costs and incoming money, and if the incoming currency doesn’t fill even those costs, the company is not able to make business. This is why those systems are very effective, they are sharp and they will not get tired. They will not influent from outside, and if there would be some problems with the calculations, could those systems send this kind of applications straight to leaders of the company, because they would cause only losses for that company’s financial department if it will begin to support unwealthy business.


The problem with the financial corporations is that they will get many applications for financial support every day. In this kind of situation, some worker could offer money for business, what is not even meant to success. In the world of artificial intelligence is not feelings. The computers make their decision without mercy, and they will not care about any things, what is not connected with the business.


If the guard of the place is a robot, it won’t make exceptions with the persons, who are allowed to let in. They can equip with sensors, what can notice if the person has something wrong, and if there would be a case of the heart attack the system will call medical attention to that person. The same thing makes those programs so effective in military use.


They don’t care if the attack plane is full of holes, and the artificial intelligence would make everything to accomplish the mission. Those computers don’t afraid anything, and this makes them so deadly. Artificial intelligence might have parameters in its memory, what kind of target is so important, that also the aircraft could sacrifice in the attack, and those drones could use as a ”Kamikaze” planes. The use of artificial intelligence with weapon systems is a growing threat.


When those military systems are equipped with image recognition systems, they can shoot even one specific person, and that might feel very frightened. Modern military drones are connected with the network, where the operators can set same operational parameters in many drones, and that network system allows to connect big supercomputers with those drones, and this allows to give more calculating capacity for the system.


If some persons face having been saved to the combat drones, they would be the hunt this person without mercy, and do they have the authorization to use deadly force in the city area depends how many secondary casualties is allowed to make. And this is the terrifying situation. Because if somebody wants to use that system wrong way, the threat for any person in this planet is very real. Those robots will not have mercy when they will open fire. They don't rebel or deny their missions, and this makes them so effective. Those robots might look like some tank or they might have the human shape, and in wrong hands they are deadly. If somebody wants to misuse the robot, might this person just get the nurse-robot, and then reprogram it for use the weapons. Those robots "muscles" can also replace with more powerful hydraulics and in the body will installed the kevlar armor.


Those vehicles can equip with self-destruction thing, and this will help the operators cover their identity. The use of electron-metal might destroy all data from components, and cover the origin of that system. Also, those robots can be terminated after the mission, and if some criminals use them the example in bank robberies, they can destroy that thing straight after the mission. And those robots can also use as the "mercenaries", what can make very much worse things. This is the thing, what creators of the artificial intelligence must realize when they make their systems.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
