A look at Columbia University's Creative Machines Lab, which is exploring questions around artificial consciousness and the possibility of self-aware robots

“This is not just another research question that we're working on — this is the question,” says Hod Lipson of Columbia University. “If we can create a machine that will have consciousness on par with a human, this will eclipse everything else we've done.” https://www.nytimes.com/...

Definitions of consciousness str often vague. “I need something that is totally buildable, dry, unromantic, just nuts and bolts,” says Hod Lipson of the Creative Machines Lab. He settled for the practical: the ability to imagine oneself in the future. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Study: Bitcoin transactions show 64 key players mined most of the cryptocurrency in its first two years, contrary to the ethos of decentralized crypto

In myth, the cryptocurrency is egalitarian, decentralized and all but anonymous.  The reality is very different, scientists have found. Source: Aiden Lab .
