Shopping minus the cashiers — minus the humans, even. That's where retail's headed, in large part due to the Walmart-owned Sam's Club opening of a new technologically savvy store that offers shoppers the option to check out without having to stand in line, without having to engage in human contact, without even having to remember...
Christians, listen up: It’s quite OK to advocate for tough border controls. It’s quite OK to look at this caravan of thousands of people now walking from points south toward America’s borders — people carting come-heck-or-high-water attitudes and intents to cross — and say to them, “hey, you’re not a citizen, you don’t have the...
A new video from the American Association of Evangelicalsreveals how George Soros, through his many funding ventures, has been busily infiltrating the Christian base in America to divide, and ultimately conquer, the religious minded within the Republican Party. Truly, with the left, political wars know no bounds. Nothing’s sacred; not when it comes to the...
Sounds so easy — teaching machines common sense. After all, artificial intelligence can already drive cars, recommend musical choices, pinpoint locations on maps and even help identify crimes before they occur. What’s the big deal about A.I. that can think through the ‘whys’ of the moment and consider the ‘wherefores’ of what’s to come before...
Followers of Christ, with growing frequency — with alarming frequency, perhaps — are jumping aboard an artificial intelligence bandwagon and trying to merge today’s technology with yesterday’s godly creations and in the end, come up with a race of people who are, in the words of the Christian Transhumanist Association, “more human.” Eat from the...
Stephen Hawking, world-renowned theoretical physicist, mathematician, cosmologist and author, may have died in March, but the warnings of his final book, “Brief Answers to the Big Questions,” published just this week, shout from beyond the grave as something like this: Watch out, humanity, artificially intelligent beings will soon rule. And ‘lest you laugh — Hawking...
Google's Street View cars — the global cruisers that collect data for the making of more accurate maps — now have a new mission, and it’s one that’s sure to make the Green groups cheer. The tech company’s bolstering its fleet with updated pollution-recording devices from the San Francisco company, Aclima, to patrol streets in...
An Amazon virtual digital assistant owner in San Francisco was just creeped out when his Alexa announced, out of the blue, “Every time I close my eyes, all I see is people dying.” Say what? The spooked Shwan Kinnear said his device made the remark and then fell into a long silence. When prompted to...
Technology’s only as good as its imperfect human programmers. That’s been the general rule of thumb for climate-change modeling. That’s been the talked-about challenge for artificial intelligence development for years. And now, given a new report from Reuters that revealed how Amazon’s employment recruitment A.I. disregarded and dismissed qualified candidates based solely on sex —...
The headline from RiskandInsurance.com says it all: “Machine Learning Could Make Hackers Practically Unstoppable: Are You Ready?” Good question. Serious question. And one which, no doubt, has registered as barely a blip on the collective minds of busy, technologically-driven, chip-card-paying, online shopping, Amazon data-storing Americans. But the shadowy side of artificial intelligence’s rapidly developing world...
