Teachers replaced- Can AI give students feedback?
I work in a Research project that tests AI in schools. It could give students the opportunity to have fair assessment, but there are some obstacles…

The danger of AI: Does no one want to talk about the children?
Children get in contact with AI through many things. AI systems are “embedded in toys, virtual assistants, video games, and adaptive learning software”. Children are on social media and algorithms determine what they watch, what products are advertised to them, and how they regard sexuality, race, and religion.

Exciting new study: AI can read our minds
AI can do a lot of cool stuff. If you read my articles, you know that scientists managed to let AI develop an intuition for physics like a child. AI can manipulate human behaviour and AI unfortunately adapted one of the most human traits possible, racism and sexism. But a recent study from the university…

How different are men and women and why is this question so important to people?
A lot of stereotypes in social science turned out to be not exactly true. One other narrative is, for instance, that women are less competitive than men, but recent studies show that this is very task-specific and regarding beauty. Women are actually very competitive. Women are also not more cooperative, that’s too easy. Studies show…

Is Ex-Google engineer Blake Lemoine crazy?
I read a lot about LaMDA this year. The Google chatbot, that engineer Blake Lemoine, claimed to be sentient. I have made an article before where I explain why LaMDA was a false alert. You can read the article here . Undeniably, Lemoine received a mock and scepticism for his claims. In June this year,…

Why stupid people always win-The Math of stupidity.
What makes a person stupid and why do stupid people win over smart ones? An essay. There is a logic behind stupidity, and why it grows so fast. It’s a mathematical function. Before I show the reader the function of stupidity, we might want to clarify how one should define stupidity. This, however, is more complicated…

The physics Nobel prize this year was an honor to Max Planck
Three men received on the 4th October, 2022 the physics Nobel prize “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science”. Their names are Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger. Simultaneously, I was at an event to commemorate the 75th date of death of the famous…

The paradox of pain- I’ll gladly live in hell
We feel, we control, we lose. Why you maximize pain when you try to reduce it. A paradox is a statement or a concept that refutes itself, but when investigated may prove well-founded or true. To explain the paradox of pain, we first must ask ourselves how we shall define the term itself. There is a…

AI will become conscious sooner than we think
Google engineer Blake Lemoine claimed the chatbot LaMDA was conscious. It was probably a false alert. Why this should still worry us! A few weeks back, I had a heated debate with my best friend, who is an upcoming physicist and psychologist. The topic: AC- Artificial Consciousness. In all those movies where the protagonist falls…
