L’Artificial intelligence is poised to transform the art of war. Without joining the worst-case scenarios of science fiction where the computer takes over, an ethical battle is raging between those in favor of AI autonomy and those who want to preserve humans at all levels. These two views clash among decision makers and military engineers. … Read more
Jean-Pierre Bibring: For the most part not. From the Renaissance onwards, the great scientific revolutions – especially in physics – were able to demonstrate that the laws governing the behavior of matter were fundamentally deterministic and universal, operating in the same way on all scales of space and time, like gravity or electromagnetism. . ‘The … Read more
