Researcher and pioneer Martin Fröhlich demonstrates just what this technology is capable of. Ammonia as a drive for more sustainable shipping Shipping leaves a large ecological footprint: the propulsion engines are largely dependent on energy sources that produce climate-damaging CO2 when burnt. In addition to hydrogen and methanol, ammonia is also considered a more climate-friendly substitute fuel. When AI creates art Machines can be creative, says Daniel Bisig, an AI expert who is conducting research at an art college. But they still lack a key ability to become real artists. Swiss researchers decode AI thought processes Researchers have developed a new method for decoding the thinking of artificial intelligences. This is particularly important for situations in which self-learning computer programmes make decisions with implications for human lives. AI prodigy Shalev Lifshitz: “What values should we teach AI?” Shalev Lifshitz is the world’s youngest AI researcher. In this interview he explains how conflicts between humankind and machines can be solved. Mitigating the effects of global warming with moon dust In a recent study, US scientists suggest using moon dust to combat global warming, since lunar dust shields a lot of sunlight with little mass. Other experts are critical of this method. For the climate: cycling like the Danes Danes cycle about 1.6 kilometres every day. If everyone cycled that much, 414 tonnes of carbon dioxide could be saved every year. That is equivalent to the UK's annual CO2 emissions. Swiss researchers print self-healing skin for robot Swiss researchers have used a 3D printer to print a skin for a robot that can mend itself after being damaged. Identifying technology risks in time Every new technology potentially also entails problematic side effects. The technology assessor Armin Grunwald helps identify risks in good time. In this interview, he talks about the consequences of emotionally competent AI. And he explains which new technology will have the greatest impact on our lives. An AI that learns spontaneously by asking people questions AI is still only as good as the data it has been trained on. It doesn't know what it doesn't know. Researchers have now developed an AI that learns by asking people questions.
