Advanced Nuclear Energy: Innovations & Global Energy Challenges | Jon Guidroz, SVP, Aalo Atomics

The ethos of the office at Bryden Wood is very good and very strong in terms of letting everybody, both men and women, participate and provide opinions that are heard.. We’re working on a bigger effort here...trying to demystify the [robotics] technology for as many people as possible, so that we are all on the same page as we try to implement and adopt it within the construction industry...

Whether you're an industry newcomer or a seasoned professional, there's something for everyone.From Orac in Blake’s 7 and K9 in Doctor Who to HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey.These imaginations of self-thinking machines were interesting, amusing, and at times creepy and threatening.. As AI enters a new realm where there are artificial systems that can make independent decisions, a light has been thrown on as much about the guiding purpose, ethics, and morals of such systems, as the technological capability..

In the Ethics Unit of my Business Module, I present and discuss data presented in Nature 2018.Through global interviews a team sought to discover, in a life-or-death situation, who people would prioritise to save.Was it the young, the old, the fit, the lawful, humans over animals?

The idea was to investigate the embedded moral decisions made by autonomous cars in dangerous situations.The results are interesting in that they showed, unsurprisingly that different individuals and cultures gave different responses.

Whose do we use?

These decisions have real-life implications.. ‘We better be sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose we really desire,’ Norbert Weiner stated in 1960..We are also associating process simulation data with those Chips, so that we can look at throughput, and use throughput to define what Chips we need..

The Chip as future enabler.We are often asked what ‘Chip’ stands for.

It doesn't stand for anything.It's based on the idea of a microchip within a computer.
