Sensory Toolkit Artefacts - Sense of Sight - Ophthalmoception

The sensory toolkit piece that I have produced for the sense of sight asks the user to look through a loupe and read small, distorted text, highlighting the difficulties some individuals may face when experiencing print media in their everyday life. As sight is the primary way we most commonly apprehend print media, visuals are of key importance, but the addition of more sensory elements within a printed piece may create a more evocative, memorable or inclusive experience for the user.

Will Artificial Intelligence Do Great Harm or great Good?

How much do we really know about the impact of scientific breakthroughs on technology or on society? Morality needs to play a stronger role in innovations such as artificial intelligence and cyborg technologies due to the risk they could pose to humanity. An artificial intelligence more creative and powerful than humans is the greatest threat to our species.

At the most basic level, if we do indeed enhance our abilities through a combination of artificial intelligence and embedded technologies, we must consider how these changes to the very way we function will affect our psychology. At a social level, we must wonder who will have access to these technologies. Most probably, they will initially be costly and accessible to a minority. (Not to mention military forces.) The greatest unknown is how this now divided society will function. Will the different humans cooperate or battle for dominance?

The greatest fear behind Artificial Intelligence is loss of control — the machine that we want as an ally becomes a competitor. Given its presumably superior intellectual powers, if such a battle would ensue, we would lose. We must make sure this situation never occurs. There are technological safeguards that could be implemented to avoid this sort of escalation. An AI is still a computer code that humans have written, so in principle, it is possible to input certain moral values that would ensure that an AI would not rebel against its creator.

From a policy perspective, governments should work in partnership with scientists and philosophers to maintain transparency and to implement humane operating procedures. Progress in the control of new technological output should come not just at the national, but at the international level. Global treaties should ensure that cutting-edge research involving AI technologies are implemented according to basic moral rules to protect the social order.

The human drive to kill existed before science was here. It’s not a scientific problem — it’s a moral problem embedded in a species that evolved within a hostile environment and that is still unable to look beyond its origins. Humans will continue to use science to kill and to heal.

But with the emergence of a new mindset - one that seeks a higher moral ground; this mindset is a byproduct of a new global consciousness, a consequence of increasing knowledge of our cosmic position as molecular machines living in a rare planet that are capable of self-awareness. Science not only creates new machines and technologies, but also new world views. It’s time we moved on from our ancient tribal divides.

Scientists create ghosts in the lab by tricking the brain Scientists elicit the sensation of an apparition or 'ghost' in a laboratory setting using a robotic device to trick the brains of test subjects.
