New research has shown robots can encourage humans to take greater risks in a simulated gambling scenario than they would if there was nothing to influence their behaviors. Increasing our understanding of whether robots can affect risk-taking could have clear ethical, practical and policy implications, which this study set out to explore. ( source ) But why not gamble? There is nothing to lose. But the things you can lose. A robot knows that. It was created out of nothing. It

Artificial intelligence (AI) learning machines can be trained to solve problems and puzzles on their own instead of using rules that we made for them. But often, researchers do not know what rules the machines make for themselves. A new method quizzes a machine-learning program to figure out what rules it learned on its own and if they are the right ones. ( 1 ) Funny. Even if we get the correct result, we need to know. Was that based on the correct rules? Otherwise, it is not
