"Open source" and artificial intelligence are problematic tools.

The "open source" AI-development project means that the developers use free software for their development process. The database connections and programming codes can get from the internet. And that means there is nobody who controls that development process. The world is full of artificial intelligence programs. 

Some of them are "simple" discussion programs. And the other programs can control robots. But the fact is that there can be millions of developers in the world. They have their own private "free time" application development in progress. The thing is that every programmer in the world uses their personally-owned computers in that kind of project. 

This means their own companies or workplaces wound not have a chance to make anything for the things. What those persons do in their part-time. Programming tools like editors are free and there is lots of literature about programming and development. 

Artificial intelligence is a problematic tool. Its missions are hard to predict. And that means especially when artificial intelligence can collect data from the internet straight from the homepages that mean that system might have unpredictable abilities. 

But when we are thinking about artificial intelligence from the point of view of the military. The unpredictable actions are increasing the power of that system. The unpredictable actions guarantee the success of the operations. But when we are thinking about the classic questions like can AI make crimes? 

We must say that AI doesn't make crimes for money like human criminals. There are always some people behind the criminal AI. The AI is an effective tool in the cases like hacking. The hacking algorithm is quite easy to make. And the hacker who wants to create the automatic, AI-based hacking algorithm must only record the commands that this person uses in hacking operations. 

So the problem with the predictions of the abilities of the AI. Is that they are made for the cases where the algorithm is running on the binary computer. Quantum computers are a million times more powerful than the fastest possible binary computers. And the number and capacity of those computers are increasing all the time. 

When we are thinking about the possibility to make a digital copy of human brains by creating 200 billion databases. The only thing that denies us from making that thing is time. There is needed a lot of time for making that number of databases. In the time of binary computers, that kind of system seemed science fiction. 

But in the time of quantum computers, the quantum system can run that kind of complex database structure. And the ability to make new databases and establish connections between those databases automatically makes it possible that the system can learn spontaneously. And that kind of system is almost like humans. 

The key element in artificial intelligence is the internet. That allows making the systems in many positions at the same time. The net makes it possible to control large project teams which are working for a common purpose. 

Artificial intelligence requires complicated programming code. And the internet is the best possible platform for that kind of R&D operation. In that case, there is the possibility that somebody steals the code. When we are thinking about programming code anybody can learn to program. The code itself is free. 

Computer programming languages are standards, and programming instructions are free to read from the net. And that means there is the possibility that somebody has the undercover "open source" artificial intelligence project.

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
