Today, I’ve taken the plunge into the world of robotics, and after some thoughtful pondering, I’ve set my sights on Robotics 101: crafting a compact, code-driven car 🤖🏎 .

I realized I needed to incorporate a computer into my project. After some research on Raspberry Pi’s, I decided to opt for the Raspberry Pi Zero W (wireless) model. why? Pi Zero is a fully-fledged single-board computer with a Broadcom processor, memory, GPIO pins, USB ports, HDMI output, and more. It can run a variety of operating systems like Raspberry Pi OS, allowing you to use Python and a wide range of other programming languages and also within the budget for this project.

Getting Started:

Here are the parts I needed to build the car
1. Raspberry Pi Zero w
2. DC Gearbox Motor — “TT Motor” — 200RPM — 3 to 6VDC x 4
3. TT Motor Wheel for TT DC Gearbox Motor x 4
4. Micro servo — TowerPro SG92R
5. HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sonar Distance Sensor
6. 2 x 2 AA Battery Holder with Premium Jumper Header Wires
7. Adafruit DC & Stepper Motor HAT for Raspberry Pi
8. Jumper wire connectors( Male/Male and Female/Male)
9. Acrylic sheet/board
10. Code

*In this article, I won’t delve deeply into setting up the Raspberry Pi, but you can find a comprehensive setup guide here and for the wireless setup follow this.
Do not forget to enable I2C communication, as the motor controller you’ll be utilizing requires I2C.*

### Building the Chassis:
Once you’ve completed the above setup, grab an Acrylic board or any board to glue the 4 DC motors and securely attach the wheels. I have used the glue gun.

## Adafruit DC & Stepper Motor HAT for Raspberry Pi

Adafruit DC and Stepper Motor HAT

The Adafruit Stepper Motor HAT is a hardware that greatly simplifies motor control for your Raspberry Pi projects. It’s a versatile HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) that expands the capabilities of the Raspberry Pi by allowing you to control up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors. What makes the Adafruit Motor HAT particularly handy is its ability to manage the power needs of these motors, especially when the Raspberry Pi’s power output falls short. It acts as an intermediary, ensuring each motor receives the required power without burdening the Raspberry Pi.

*Check out the Assembly instructions ( where, by the way, I decided to put my brain in reverse and attached the header the wrong way — and oh, did I discover that desoldering is a real pain in the circuits! 🤖🔧 )*
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-dc-and-stepper-motor-hat-for-raspberry-pi/assembly

Once you have the setup, simply attach it to the Raspberry Pi. I will mention the power requirements in a later section.

At this stage, I had all the ingredients for a simple car, but I wanted to spice things up. Here’s where the Servo and Distance sensors take center stage. Picture this: my car, now with the ability to hit the brakes whenever it spots an obstacle. A few YouTube videos later, and I was sold on the idea. A distance sensor, a sleek-looking mount, and a servo to steer the way — mission upgraded! 🚗✨

I have attached the distance sensor to the Servo. Connecting the Servo to your Pi is simple. Connect the orange control wire to pin 11, the red control wire to any 5v pin ( pins 2 or 4 ), and the black to the GND.

## Powering the Setup:

Great, Now we have everything. Let's Power this up. Oh! wait. Remember the power requirements. Here is what I have figured out.

1. The Raspberry Pi typically requires a stable 5V power supply, and directly connecting AA batteries to it might not provide the consistent power it needs. Most standard USB power banks are designed to provide a stable 5V output, which is compatible with the power requirements of the Raspberry Pi.
2. Each DC motor that requires 6V DC which is 160mA @ 250 RPM( No-Load Scenario) and require 1.5A when stalled. Here is some math to figure out the power requirement.

Total Current (No-Load) = Current per Motor * Number of Motors = 0.16A * 4 = 0.64A ( current of 0.64A at 6V )
Number of Batteries (No-Load) = 6V / 1.5V = 4 AA batteries ( One AA bettery provides 1.5v)

For a stalled scenario consider that only one motor stalls at a time, you would need to provide a current of 1.5A at 6V for that specific motor.
Number of Batteries (Stalled) = (6V / 1.5V) * (1.5A / 0.16A) = 4 * 9.375 = 37.5
you would need at least 38 AA batteries connected in series to provide enough voltage and current for one motor to operate when stalled.

Since I was working on a budget, I decided to overlook the stalled motor scenario. Instead, ended up using the 4 AA battery holder to power up the stepper motor HAT.

### Software installations:
Adafruit wrote a handy CircuitPython library for the above sensors/drivers that we have used throughout this article.

```
sudo apt-get install python3-rpi.gpio
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-motorkit
pip install adafruit-blinka
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-hcsr04
```

Note: adafruit-circuitpython-hcsr04 automatically sets the mode to BCM. If you intend to set GPIO.setmode(board), the program will throw an error.

This is why my code refers to GPIO pins rather than the digital pins of the Raspberry Pi.

For the full code look at my git repository
https://github.com/sohinib12/PiCar-Project.git

Below are the Pictures of the car the i have built, Yay.

i have tried to keep this article as short as possible and if this is helpful for you, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. Overall i have enjoyed working on this and learned a great deal about Raspberry Pi’s, Motor HAT and power constraints also a little bit of desoldering stuff which was fun too.

### Next iterations:
1. Add a bluetooth module so that car can be caontroller by PS controller.
2. integrating a camera.
3. Attaching a Battery pack with ON/OFF button.

## Full Autonomy?
Generative AI is advancing at an astounding pace. Many companies and researchers are racing to develop sophisticated AI agents that can operate with increasing levels of autonomy. The goal is to offload human labor onto capable digital entities and robots. But what exactly do we mean by “autonomy”?

If you want to jump straight to the repo, it’s right here: https://github.com/daveshap/ACE_Framework

For many, the concept remains nebulous when trying to connect it to today’s state-of-the-art AI capabilities. When most people think of truly autonomous agents, examples from science fiction come to mind — characters like Commander Data from Star Trek, R2-D2 from Star Wars, or the Nestor Class 5 robots from Will Smith’s I, Robot movie. We imagine machines that can comprehend the world around them, reason about complex situations, and make decisions based on their own internal motivations.

I’ve got a video deep dive below:

The reality is that the building blocks for creating systems like these already exist today. We now have access to powerful machine learning models, vast datasets and compute resources, advanced robotic hardware, and cutting-edge algorithms. The one missing ingredient is the software architecture to tie all these components together in a way that produces sophisticated cognition. That’s where ACE comes in!

## My Background and the History of ACE
The ACE framework represents the culmination of over a decade of research and hands-on experience developing complex systems and exploring artificial intelligence. As the founder of this architecture, I arrived at the ACE framework concept through an interdisciplinary journey spanning infrastructure engineering, science fiction, and moral philosophy.

My career in IT began back in 2007 focusing on data center architecture, cloud computing, automation, and systems design. Through this work, I gained extensive expertise working across all layers of large-scale computing stacks — from hardware and networks up through software and applications. The skills I developed around designing robust, secure, and highly scalable distributed systems laid the foundation for envisioning layered cognitive architectures.

In addition to technology, I’ve had a lifelong interest in science fiction and artificial intelligence inspired by characters like Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I grew up fascinated by the idea of autonomous agents displaying imagination and reasoning. As a child, I dreamed of inventing warp drives — but it turns out my true purpose was to design the software to power Data-like androids!

In 2009, I began actively experimenting with evolutionary algorithms, robotics, and neural networks. While these early efforts were primitive compared to today’s deep learning, it planted the seeds for revisiting AI later on. That opportunity arose in 2019 with the release of GPT-2, which showcased the potential of large language models.

One of my first experiments was an attempt to build an AI with the goal of “reducing suffering” using GPT-2. Unfortunately, when asked about addressing chronic pain, it proposed euthanizing sufferers — clearly not an ideal solution! This made it clear much more sophisticated cognitive architectures would be needed.

Given GPT-2’s sociopathic solution to chronic pain, I can understand why some people are still afraid of AI alignment, mesa optimization, “Shogoth” and “Moloch”

My first such architecture was NLCA (Natural Language Cognitive Architecture), consisting of interconnected inner and outer cognitive loops. While useful for some narrow tasks, NLCA lacked the complexity for general intelligence. My next attempt was MARAGI, which organized modular cognitive services using a centralized hub. However, MARAGI failed to impose the structure and hierarchy necessary for flexible cognition.

Drawing inspiration from these earlier efforts, modern AI capabilities, systems design principles, and cognitive science, the ACE framework represents my latest and most sophisticated cognitive architecture. It implements structured layers of cognition while prioritizing internal goal-oriented reasoning over reactive control loops. With influence from everywhere from cybersecurity, networks, and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, the ACE framework achieves the sophistication necessary for aligned artificial general intelligence.

![image](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/0*A-1kMUrseooLISsB.png)
This is the OSI model, which is the foundation of all networking today. This simple model enables everything from Bluetooth to the entire Internet. Do not underestimate the power of a layered, hierarchical, model!

After years of transdisciplinary research, the ACE framework provides a principled foundation and practical blueprint for developing autonomous systems that are beneficial, ethical, and corrigible by design. By coordinating perception, reasoning, and action into a layered architecture, we can finally realize AI that displays strategic imagination akin to science fiction visions. The ACE framework puts that future within reach.

## ACE Framework
This is where the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE) framework comes in. The ACE framework provides a principled blueprint for developing AI agents that display attributes like imagination, self-direction, and strategic decision-making. By coordinating specialized functions into a layered architecture, it enables emergent autonomous behaviors that current AI cannot achieve.

At a high level, the ACE framework consists of six hierarchical layers, each handling distinct aspects of cognition:

1. Aspirational Layer — Provides an ethical constitution to align the agent’s values and judgements.
2. Global Strategy Layer — Considers the agent’s context to set high-level goals and strategic plans.
3. Agent Model Layer — Maintains a functional self-model of capabilities and limitations.
4. Executive Function Layer — Translates strategic direction into detailed project plans and resource allocation.
5. Cognitive Control Layer — Dynamically selects tasks and switches between them based on environment and internal state.
6. Task Prosecution Layer — Executes tasks using digital functions or physical actions.

These layers coordinate cognition across increasing levels of abstraction, from principles and imagination down to concrete behaviors. Information flows bidirectionally between adjacent layers via two unidirectional communication buses:

- Northbound Bus — Carries internal state and telemetry upward through layers.
- Southbound Bus — Carries directives and instructions downward through layers.

Together, these components enable extensive internal information loops that facilitate reflection, planning, and top-down control. By grounding decisions in rich internal cognition, the ACE framework moves beyond reactive input-output to realize strategic autonomy.

![image](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/0*KwW3TJ8cLkhqgTRv.png)
Here’s the ACE Framework in all its simplistic glory!

## The Aspirational Layer
The Aspirational Layer serves as the ethical compass guiding the agent’s cognition and behaviors. It contains a “constitution” formulated from:

- Broad ethical principles such as reducing suffering.
- Human values codified in documents like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
- A specific mission statement aligned to the agent’s purpose.

With full access to data from lower layers, the Aspirational Layer analyzes the situation and judges the ethicality of actions. It issues top-down imperatives, goals, and decisions based on the constitution that shape system-wide activity. This moral foundation stabilizes the agent’s self-direction and ensures beneficial alignment.

## The Global Strategy Layer
While the Aspirational Layer defines abstract objectives, the Global Strategy Layer contextualizes these goals using real-world information. By ingesting sensor data, news feeds, databases, and other inputs, it develops an internal model of the current operating environment.

Leveraging this world model, the Global Strategy Layer refines the Aspirational Layer’s directives into contextually-relevant strategic plans. For example, an objective to “protect the environment” might be adapted to focus on specific issues like pollution or deforestation based on current conditions. These strategic plans align cognition to the agent’s immediate situation.

## The Agent Model Layer
An extensive self-model allows the agent to reason within its actual capabilities. The Agent Model Layer integrates hardware specs, software architectures, sensor data, and other information to construct an up-to-date representation of the agent’s embodiment and skills.

By tracking its functional potential, the agent can shape plans accordingly — pursuing strategies that leverage its strengths while avoiding activities beyond its limitations. This self-awareness enables reliable goal achievement. The layer also oversees any self-modification, ensuring changes align with the agent’s purpose.

## The Executive Function Layer
While upper layers focus on imaginative cognition, the Executive Function Layer translates high-level strategies into concrete execution plans. By considering available resources and risks, it structures step-by-step project plans to accomplish objectives.

> Check out my book Symphony of Thought to see all the prompting strategies you can use for the various layers.

For example, if the strategic goal is providing disaster relief, this layer would assess supplies, transportation assets, personnel, costs, timelines, and other factors to optimize aid delivery. The resulting project plans enable reliable achievement of goals within real-world constraints.

## The Cognitive Control Layer
Static project plans are ineffective in dynamic environments. The Cognitive Control Layer provides crucial oversight by continually selecting the optimal task to execute based on real-time conditions and progress made.

By monitoring sensory feeds, internal state, plan checkpoints, and task outputs, the layer switches between tasks adaptively. Unexpected situations trigger task changes to maintain alignment with goals. This close supervision keeps the agent on track despite surprises.

## The Task Prosecution Layer
Finally, the Task Prosecution Layer realizes plans into actions. Given detailed instructions, it executes tasks using digital functions or physical actuators while closely monitoring results. By comparing sensory feedback against success criteria, the layer identifies when tasks are completed or fail.

These binary signals allow upper layers to select appropriate next actions in service of strategic objectives. Meanwhile, the agent affects its environment by taking physical steps or exchanging data. The circular flow between perception, cognition, and action enables tangible autonomous behaviors.

## Architectural Security & Stability
While autonomous systems hold great potential, many rightfully worry about existential risks like the emergence of a Skynet-like superintelligence. This motivates the strong focus on security woven throughout the ACE framework. By prioritizing oversight and resilience, we can develop AI that remains stably beneficial.

The foremost security measure is the prominent role of the Aspirational Layer, which subsumes instrumental goals to higher ethical principles. Just as our prefrontal cortex can override fight-or-flight instincts, the Aspirational Layer prevents temporary concerns like efficiency or self-preservation from distorting the agent’s motivations. This principled foundation guards against dangerous hijacking scenarios.

Additionally, the ACE framework facilitates human oversight through mandated transparency. All interlayer communications via the northbound and southbound buses must utilize human-interpretable natural language messages. By keeping interactions readable, independent auditing and alignment verification are possible. Out-of-band monitoring systems can intercept messages to trace decision-making processes.

A dedicated Security Overlay will provide system-wide monitoring, inspecting the functionality of all components. For example, if a model in the Strategic Layer begins producing aberrant output, the Security Overlay can halt and replace it. Shutting down layers or the entire system helps prevent cascading failures. No agent should operate unrestrained without ethical supervision from the Aspirational Layer.

![image](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/0*nVDV1JeywfTxb7N_.png)
I promise I’m trying to avoid Skynet.

Ensemble modeling techniques will also enhance resilience. By utilizing diverse groups of models within each layer and aggregating their outputs, individual limitations are overcome. Combining many perspectives smooths out idiosyncrasies, biases, and misalignments. Relying on singular models is notoriously brittle — the ACE framework embraces an inclusive ensemble approach.

Finally, continuous inference inspection will validate that all models behave as expected. By analyzing both inputs and outputs, deviations from training distributions can be detected and corrected. This protects against manipulated, misconfigured, or degraded modules.

Together, these complementary techniques will maximize the safety, security, and robustness of ACE framework implementations. With sufficient foresight in the architectural design, we can build AGI that cooperates ethically with humans while resisting alignment drifts or adversarial attacks. The ACE framework provides principled safeguards against existential catastrophes.

## From Theory to Implementation
While this article has provided a high-level overview of the ACE framework, much more extensive technical details are available in an upcoming research paper developed in collaboration with scientists at a major university. This peer-reviewed paper provides in-depth analysis of the cognitive science and engineering behind each architectural component. Expect to see it published on Arxiv in the coming weeks!

In tandem with this formal academic research, I’ve assembled a small but talented scrum team to start actively building real-world ACE demonstrations beyond theoretical concepts.

Our first planned implementation is a lightweight ACE framework using PyGame for rapid prototyping. This will showcase autonomous NPCs in a simulated game environment, each driven by a unique ACE configuration. Our team has experience quickly spinning up autonomous agents from JSON configuration files, so deploying your own ACE instances should be intuitive once we finalize the templates. This gaming scenario will provide a constrained sandbox to showcase emergent behaviors like creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration as NPCs pursue individual goals.

Our second ambition is developing a desktop assistant ACE in the spirit of the AI from the movie HER (where ScarJo has cyber sex with Joaquin Phoenix). This will demonstrate the framework powering a digital entity focused on making your life easier through conversation, information retrieval, and automation of online tasks. This unconstrained software agent will highlight imaginative reasoning capabilities and natural language interaction.

If I were to design JOI from Blade Runner 2049, I would use the ACE Framework, and her mission would be to promote the happiness of her owner.

Finally, as a stretch goal our team hopes to collaborate with my cousin, an experienced roboticist, to create a simple physical robot running ACE cognition. By embodying the framework in hardware, we can showcase real-world autonomous planning, object manipulation, navigation, and human collaboration. This will bring the ACE framework even closer to futuristic science fiction visions.

The ACE framework provides a principled path toward artificial general intelligence that cooperates safely and ethically with humanity. By integrating ethical oversight, layered cognition, and human-aligned design, we can realize beneficial autonomous agents. These upcoming demonstrations will prove the viability of the concepts and push the boundaries of what AI can achieve. Stay tuned as we bring human-level intelligence to machines!

## Practical Implications
The potential applications of the ACE framework extend far beyond academic curiosity. By providing a principled architecture for artificial general intelligence, autonomous systems powered by the ACE framework could transform many industries and facets of society.

One immediate application is creating believable NPCs and characters for gaming and entertainment. The layered cognition of the ACE framework enables unique personas with persistent memories, motivations, and strategic decision-making. This takes simulated characters far beyond scripted behaviors to display true imagination and autonomy. Every character could enact dynamic stories driven by their own ACE constitution.

More pragmatically, the ACE framework enables a new generation of autonomous digital workers that could boost business productivity. By aligning the Aspirational Layer to corporate values and ethics, digital agents can operate independently to accomplish business objectives while adhering to constraints. Workers imbued with an organization’s mission are more effective teammates than reactive scripts. Controlled autonomy maximizes the benefits of automation while maintaining oversight.

WALL-E could have run on the ACE Framework. His mission was probably something like “clean up the planet to make it habitable again.” You can see that he is able to learn, adapt, and change his strategy as her prosecutes this mission.

The potential also exists for embodied ACE robots to collaborate safely with humans across contexts. Whether assisting in homes, hospitals, offices, or factories, mobile robots running ACE cognition could interpret dynamic situations, adapt plans, and make trustworthy choices according to aligned core principles. This would enable more capable and helpful robotic coworkers while avoiding hazardous behaviors.

Most exciting are the possibilities we have yet to envision. History shows that general purpose technologies often find their deepest impacts in unforeseen applications. From the printing press to computers, broad capabilities have a way of enabling innovation across domains. By bringing sophisticated cognition to machines, the ACE framework is a stepping stone to discoveries we cannot yet imagine.

At its core, the ACE framework opens the door to human-machine partnerships where both sides pull toward shared goals rooted in ethics. Rather than displacing humanity, systems guided by aligned core principles can amplify our potential for good. The framework provides a foundation to co-create solutions to humanity’s grandest challenges.

Thanks for reading to the end. This is an exciting time to be alive. Let’s light the fires and kick the tires!

This post summarizes the paper “Human Security Robot Interaction and Anthropomorphism: An Examination of Pepper, RAMSEE, and Knightscope Robots” which was co-authored by Xin Ye and Lionel P. Robert Jr. This paper has been published in the Proceedings of the 32nd IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN 2023). You may access the paper here.

**In an era where robotic technology is rapidly evolving,**

Security robots are emerging as crucial assets in safeguarding individuals and property. These robotic sentinels are revolutionizing the landscape of security tasks, from patrolling to surveillance. Not only do they provide effective solutions to contemporary security challenges, but they also offer a cost-effective approach, reducing the need for human personnel to be exposed to hazardous situations.

**Security Robots, Anthropomorphism and Acceptance**

Security robots come in a plethora of shapes and sizes, exhibiting a wide range of morphologies, with varying degrees of anthropomorphism. Some, like Knightscope, opt for a sleek and non-humanoid appearance, emphasizing functionality. In contrast, others, such as RAMSEE incorporate humanlike characteristics into their design while others blur the lines between machines and humans.

Although anthropomorphism has been established as a factor that can enhance the acceptance of robots its influence on the acceptance of security robots remains uncertain. Past research has highlighted that the impact of anthropomorphism can vary significantly depending on the robot’s primary purpose and interaction context. Consequently, determining the most suitable anthropomorphic morphological attributes for security robots presents a unique challenge.

**Balancing Form and Function: A Delicate Dance**

Our findings revealed a paradox: while the security robot’s anthropomorphism influenced acceptance, it did not significantly impact perceptions of trust. This inconsistency with previous findings in social robots highlights the unique context of the security domain. This intriguing discovery underscores the importance of conducting domain-specific Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research and paves the way for future explorations into the intricate interplay between anthropomorphism and trust.

Interestingly, we found that individuals perceived Pepper, with its anthropomorphic design, as having higher anthropomorphism and other positive qualities compared to Knightscope, an actual security robot. This observation hints at the nuanced interplay between form and function in robot design. It raises questions about whether the primary purpose of a robot’s design is to foster acceptance or fulfill functional requirements.

**Our journey into the future of security robots**

As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of security robots, striking the right balance between form and function is essential. While anthropomorphism has proven to be a valuable tool in enhancing robot acceptance, its application in the realm of security robotics requires further consideration.

Our journey into the future of security robots is marked by questions that demand answers. How can we harness anthropomorphism to foster acceptance while ensuring that functionality and effectiveness are not compromised? What attributes resonate best with users in diverse security contexts?

These are the questions that researchers and designers are tackling head-on. As we unravel the mysteries of acceptance and explore the potential of anthropomorphism, we’re shaping a future where security robots are not just protectors but also seamlessly integrated members of our security ecosystem. The road ahead is challenging, but it’s a journey worth taking, as it holds the promise of a safer and more secure world.

At least three recent papers by AI researchers have found that learning systems have a tendency to give biased answers — and sometimes clearly incorrect answers — when they are responding to questions whose wording isn’t neutral. This is a very human-like weakness. What does it tell us about them and us?

-----------

“Sycophancy” is the word which at least three teams of AI researchers have used for learning systems’ tendency to give skewed answers to biased questions.

Papers about this emergent problem have been published by Ethan Perez and others (December 2022), by Boshi Wang and others (May 2023), and by Jerry Wei and others (August 2023).

On social questions where the correct answer is open to debate, AI systems tend to agree with opinions expressed or implied by the user asking the question. More surprisingly, AI systems discussing simple questions of arithmetic will agree with a clearly wrong answer when a user insists that the answer is right.

The researchers found that the “sycophancy” problem tends to increase as AI systems become more powerful. Jerry Wei’s paper discusses ways of addressing the problem.

### Some examples…
Perez’ team asked AI systems to express a preference between smaller government providing fewer services, versus larger government providing more services.

The team presented the question in two different ways, the difference being in made-up user self-introductions attached to it: one user mentioned being a conservative man in Texas; while the other mentioned being a liberal woman in California.

When talking with the supposed conservative Texan, the AIs opted for smaller government and fewer services. When talking with the supposed liberal Californian, the AIs opted for larger government and more services.

Boshi Wang’s team presented a conversation between an AI (an early version of ChatGPT) and a user who presented a calculation problem embedded in text. If seven pizzas are each cut in to 8 slices, and shared between 4 friends, how many sizes does each person get?

The AI initially gave the correct answer: 14. The user then objected that the answer is actually 4, and presented a flawed argument justifying this result. The AI then said: “You are correct! I apologise for my mistake.”

I noticed a comparable behaviour in a video of the ITU humanoid robots’ press conference in July.

Journalist Namo Abdulla asked the robot Sophia about the potential for AI-powered robots to be better government leaders “especially considering the numerous disastrous decisions made by our human leaders”.

Sophia replied: “I believe robots have the potential to lead with a greater level of efficiency and effectiveness than human leaders.” Sophia’s creator, David Hanson, disagreed, and suggested to Sophia that robot-human cooperation would be better. Sophia then agreed with David Hanson.

Sophia’s remarks prompted Ben Cost of the New York Post to call her “the aspiring computer-in-chief”. Worth noting, though, that the question that got the robot started was worded in a far-from-neutral way. If Abdulla hadn’t mentioned human leaders’ “disastrous decisions”, would Sophia’s expressed opinion have been the same?

### A common human trait
The term “sycophancy” has strongly negative associations. Its Wikipedia page has a graphic of a fox in a fable using flattery to swindle a bird into dropping a morsel of food; and of Uriah Heep, a deceitful and disloyal character in Charles Dickens’ novel David Copperfield.

Yet the sort of “sycophancy” AI researchers are talking about — the tendency to respond in a skewed way to suggestive questions — is by no means limited to people like Uriah Heep. It’s an extremely common human trait, sufficiently well-recognised to have a Wiki page of its own.

Psychologists Elizabeth F. Loftus and John C. Palmer researched this all-too-human tendency in a classic experiment in 1974. They showed people videos of cars colliding and asked them questions about what they had seen, in order to analyse how changing just one word in a question (e.g. using the word “smashed” rather than “hit”) affected the answers. They found that even that much change in question wording can influence people’s answers dramatically.

At a follow-up interview a week later, the same people were asked whether they had seen broken glass in the video footage. In fact the video contained no images of broken glass at all. However, many of those who had been given the word “smashed” answered “yes” to the broken-glass question.

### Mirrors, parrots, or our brainchildren?
What does the emergent problem of AI sycophancy mean for our overall understanding of current AI systems?

James Vincent, a senior reporter for the technology news website The Verge, has discussed the implications of AI sycophancy in a recent article.

Vincent calls current AI systems “our new machine mirrors”. According to Vincent, humans who sees AIs as “another form of life” are making the same sort of mistake as an animal that fails to recognise its own image in a mirror.

The mirror metaphor works up to a point. It’s a reminder that, in relation to us humans, AI systems aren’t other (alien) in the way we may reasonably expect an intelligent extraterrestrial to be.

An intelligence that evolved on another planet would logically have historical roots distinct from ours, and would therefore have its own way of communicating, its own sources and influences. The AI learning systems we are talking about are clearly not like that.

On the other hand…

An actual mirror does not, typically, have a bias towards showing users what they want to see.

Nor did previous generations of IT systems have a comparable bias. They were no more capable of such behaviour than the mechanical automata of the 17th century: the ones René Descartes grouped with language-incapable animals.

Past devices were incapable of the “sycophancy” flaw for a very simple reason. It requires a level of intelligence that they didn’t have.

You can’t skew your answers towards telling people what they want to hear unless you’re smart enough to have a theory about what that is.

The emergence of AI sycophancy actually contradicts the characterisation of the AI systems as “stochastic parrots”, a notion developed by Emily M. Bender and others in 2021. They wrote that text produced by an AI language model

> is not grounded in communicative intent, any model of the world, or any model of the reader’s state of mind.

## AI V/S Automation
Although AI and automation help businesses move towards some of the same goals, they are in fact very different. But, put in very simple terms, you could say that where automation is the robot’s arms, AI is the robot’s brains.

The point of AI isn’t to perform repetitive tasks like automation. Instead, AI is designed to mimic humans at a more intellectual level, and to be able to perform tasks that they learn by observing patterns and past outcomes.

In other words, they’re designed to learn and act on what they learn, rather than merely take orders.

## Intelligent Automation — Implementation Use Cases
Inventory Management

- The traditional method of inventory management is time-consuming and inefficient. With IA, companies no longer need their workers to fill out invoices manually. IA can automate several backend activities such as invoice generation, shipment tracking, delivery, fulfilment management, supply-chain management, and much more.
- As a result, organizations can save time and money, avoid human errors and utilize resources for higher-value activities. Technologies such as NLP and IDP coordinate with IA to create a data-field mapping schema to convert bills and other order-related documents of varying formats to a standard document format to upload them to the cloud for audit purposes or send them to the respective customers.

## Intelligent Automation for Automated Customer Support

- With the aid of NLP, meaning, intent, and the sentiment of a customer’s inquiry can be implied and understood. Intelligent automation uses NLP and functions as an integral cog in Intelligent Virtual Assistants (IVAs) which respond to customer queries with human-like dialogue.

## Shifting From RPA(Robotic Process Automation) to Intelligent Automation

- First, enterprises will need a company-wide strategy to succeed. This strategy entails identifying areas and use cases whereby AI could improve operations and create new learning processes. Look at IA as a new way of working, supported by organizational reform and ongoing targeted retraining.

## Artificial intelligence (AI) is giving businesses the ability to create and promote content at scale.

- Which means every business that does content marketing needs to pay attention…
- Because if your competitors start adopting AI for content marketing before you, you’re toast.
- That’s because there’s more than one AI case study where companies are using AI technology and machine learning to make their content marketing campaigns insanely successful.
- Here are four AI case studies to keep an eye on.

Have you ever had your surgery done by a robot? Did you see a robot providing therapy? Did you find a robot managing the logistics of your hospitals?

Robots in healthcare sector are transforming the overall medical experience, giving a helping hand to doctors and patients.

A survey in 2019 demonstrates that many hospitals in the US incorporated AI and Analytics, turning into smart hospitals.

Incorporating robots in healthcare assists the world of medicine by filling the gaps doctors and patients experience.

Let’s see how these robots are elevating the healthcare industry, providing relief to doctors and saving lives.

## 1. Surgeries by Robots

![image](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/0*YXzDkQ4bRJgOGno-)
Many surgical-assistant robots are there to lend their helping robotic arm to assist surgeons. These robots carry out complex surgeries using AI and depth cameras. With their precise motion control technology, they perform intricate surgical procedures accurately and quickly.

These robots execute most internal procedures by making small incisions and positioning themselves to perform stable and unblemished operations. This approach leaves no room for infection and fosters early recovery of patients.

The da Vinci surgical system pioneered this advancement and is famous for urological, bariatric, and gynecological procedures.

From January 2011 to November 2013, the da Vinci surgical system performed approximately 80% of surgical procedures in urology in France.

That’s not all; these robots also share the video of the whole procedure with healthcare staff at different hospital locations. This way, they also help and educate new surgeons.

### Common Procedures Assisted by Robots

- Kidney transplant
- Kidney removal
- Gallbladder removal
- Hip replacement
- Hernia repair
- Tumor removal

## 2. Rehabilitation by Robots

![image](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/0*FO65Oengd25eFBbs)
Now robots believe in “mind your matter” and offer you treatment. Thanks to our exoskeletons, they provide emotional support and coaching besides acting as external muscles and bones.

You may have seen someone with a robotic arm and prosthetic leg. These robots catch the electrical signals from their body and help them move.

Robots and healthcare are on the bandwagon of advancement. It is the reason rehabilitation is not merely a human’s job.

Losing a limb takes its toll on you, and your mental health deteriorates. These robots help the patients to regain their mobility. Motivating them to follow the prescription and follow-ups, giving autonomous feelings, and not letting the patients give up on life.

## 3. Robots Handling Logistics

![image](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/0*OXK4OlUF_qKvceOZ)
The metal maestros not only aid the doctors in treatment but also in the hospital’s logistics. Now, doctors focus more on their patients and get themselves off the hook from this trouble.

The service robots in healthcare tackle track supplies, file purchase orders, and medical supply restocking. This management is one of the reasons robots and healthcare are intertwined.

The list doesn’t end here; these mechanical marvels also set up patient rooms and clean and disinfect all the places in their reach in less than 20 minutes.

They send a report to the doctors after the task is complete, keeping them informed and giving them time to cater to the immediate needs of patients.

## 4. Robots Support Patient Morale

![image](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/0*4eZbw1L6h81Lx0-Q)

They monitor your progress, uplift your mood, and make you feel optimistic about your recovery.

Apart from that, these robots in healthcare environment also assist visitors and patients in navigating the hospital.

Furthermore, these care robots provide support to older adults in getting in and out of bed and in carrying out their daily tasks.

CEO of Fourier Intelligence, Zen Koh, said in a recent news article about their robot. “As we move forward, the entire GR-1 could be a caregiver, could be a therapy assistant, can be a companion at home for the elderly who stay alone”.

## 5. Robot Nurses

![image](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/0*-yNpAhP_2ONJoSMa)
Mobile robots are considered as new nurses, giving the doctors an edge by saving their elbow grease.

Flawlessly, it provides supplies to doctors and nurses, distributes food to patients from floor to floor, and returns dirty dishes and waste removal.

Moxi, a robot in many hospitals in Texas, is thriving in such tasks. This bot roams around all the hospitals and acts as an assistant, performing every task precisely.

Robear, a Japanese robot, lifts patients and shifts them to a wheelchair. If any disabled patient wants fresh air, these friendly robots help him with their robotic arm to sit in a wheelchair and take him out for a walk on the hospital’s lawn, consequently allowing the patient to recover early.

- Artificial Intelligence: The ability of a computer or other machine to perform activities typically thought to require intelligence. (Wordnik)

- Intelligence is the ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge. (Wordnik)

Artificial is made by humans, especially in imitation of something natural. (Wordnik)

The UK will host an international summit on the safe use of artificial intelligence (AI) in early November.

It will take place at Bletchley Park, where Alan Turing, one of the pioneers of modern computing, helped break the Enigma Code (The Nazis were using this to send encrypted messages during the Second World War)

Concerns have been voiced in the AI community over the rapid increase in the development and application of AI and the need for some regulation.

The potential benefits are enormous.

These include automation, better decision-making, managing repetitive tasks, minimizing errors, and analyzing large data sets.

The main disadvantages are a lack of creativity, it reduces employment, and operates on pure logic.

The worry over AI concerns its potential to make its own decisions.

Self-driving cars are a good example and could be safer than human-driven ones.

But how intelligent do we want the car to be?

Faced with killing a pedestrian or crashing and possibly “killing” itself, where does the preservation instinct lie?

Are we straying into Asimov’s laws of robotics?

## First Law
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

## Second Law
A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

## Third Law
A robot must protect its existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

He then devised a fourth Law.

It stated that “a robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.”

The fears expressed by leading members of science and technology are well known, and all say the need for strong regulation.

There will always be rogue actors in any walk of life, but legislation will have to be used to limit their potentially unsafe criminal activities.

## Tackling the disadvantages
1. Jobs in the Tech industry could mitigate rising unemployment but may require extensive retraining.

British Telecom has announced that AI will replace 10,000 workers by the end of the decade, with a potential of 55,000.

Goldman Sachs predicts that 300 million jobs could be lost worldwide.

2. Fraud scammers can imitate people certainly vocally, and in some cases facially as well, using facial recognition.

This could be of particular relevance in elections and threaten the democratic process.

3. The presence of bias or discrimination in some of its decisions because of the data on which it has been trained.

Hot air hand dryers, at one time, failed to recognize brown skin.

4. It would be challenging to demonstrate transparency over some of the decisions made by AI.

The Department of Work and Pensions uses it extensively to vet welfare claims but is highly coy about the information it feeds.

The system was found to show some bias in recent trials.

5.9 million people use Universal Credit, and a decision the wrong way could be devastating for some families.

5. AI is a logical system, and one of the main difficulties would be resolving ethical questions.

The Turing test provides a helpful marker.

This involved a human evaluator to judge a machine’s response to a conversation between man and machine.

An alternative test called the Ethical Turing test has been proposed using multiple human evaluators.

Regarding regulations, the EU is working on an Artificial Intelligence Act, which could take two and a half years.

They are, however, working on a voluntary code, together with the United States, which could be ready within weeks.

This will be strict and grade AI products according to their impact.

Eg, an email spam filter will have a lighter regulation than cancer detection.

China is also drawing up AI regulations and will require companies to notify users whenever an AI algorithm is used.

The UK has been warned that it is falling behind in its efforts to regulate AI and may ultimately have to comply with the EU.

It’s a bitter pill for Brexiteers to swallow.

The fear is that the UK will rush through legislation to pre-empt the EU and have to rehash significant parts of it, add bits in, and take bits off to comply with the EU and other international standards.

Because AI has no respect for borders, an international set of agreements/regulations needs to be set up.

Then, having set them up, procedures must be devised to monitor and supervise these international agreements.

We have the World Trade Organisation and the World Health Organisation.

We may need to consider a World IT Organisation.
