Technically Incorrect: Releasing a list of 12 threats to human civilization, academic researchers put artificial intelligence as an emerging and powerful risk.
Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.
And one day he'll have had enough of his creators. Documentary & Discovery HD Channel/YouTube screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET
If we're all going to die, there's something slightly exciting in the idea that the end will be unexpected.
For many, the most pulsating thought is that we'll build robots that will take a look at us one day and see us as mere detritus.
Stephen Hawking has warned of it. So has Elon Musk. Now artificial intelligence has appeared on the list of 12 Risks That Threaten Human Civilization.
Published by the Global Challenges Foundation and written by academics from Oxford University and elsewhere, the report seeks to identify risks to humanity that are, in its words, "infinite."
There, amid such well-known threats such as extreme climate change, nuclear war, major asteroid impact and nanotechnology is artificial intelligence. Yes, straight into the chart at No. 11.
The report's authors write of robots that we might create: "Such extreme intelligences could not easily be controlled (either by the groups creating them, or by some international regulatory regime), and would probably act to boost their own intelligence and acquire maximal resources for almost all initial AI motivations."
The use of "probably" is interesting. Is it logical that any artificial intelligence created would necessarily want to boost its own intelligence -- because that's what humans try to do (allegedly)?

Lockheed Martin Receives First TS-323 GENASYS Test Platform for Testing of Satellite Subsystems
IRVINE, CA /PRNewswire/ -- Marvin Test Solutions, a trusted provider of globally deployed, innovative test solutions for military, aerospace, and manufacturing organizations, today announced the delivery of its TS-323 GENASYS Test Platform to Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company (LMSSC). GENASYS is a high-performance PXI-based system designed to meet the demands of mission-critical applications that require performance functional testing. GENASYS features a high-density, multiplexed switching subsystem with any-pin-to-any-resource architecture and switch management software that provides automated, end-to-end signal routing. GENASYS also includes a high-performance digital subsystem that supports up to 512 I/O pins with multiple timing sets and per-pin PMU capability. The system will be deployed by LMSSC for the functional testing of satellite systems and subsystems.
"As aerospace systems become more complex, engineers must have increasingly flexible and capable test equipment to ensure accuracy, reliability, and safety of mission-critical systems. The lack of available OEM support for legacy ATE systems compels users to either replace or upgrade high-performance legacy ATE systems, and both of these decisions are typically expensive, difficult, and often don't yield the needed results," said Major General Steve Sargeant, USAF (Ret.), CEO of Marvin Test Solutions. "We created the GENASYS platform and added this new switching subsystem to solve that problem. With a compact footprint, open, expandable architecture, and SwitchEasy software, the GENASYS platform eases the burden on test engineers, becoming a replacement for obsolete legacy digital functional test systems from manufacturers including Teradyne, Schlumberger, and GenRad. The platform also can form the basis for a completely new system that will address next-generation, complex testing challenges and manage up to 4,500 interface test points without manual programming."
Lockheed Martin's test requirements for future applications include: an open architecture, a functional test platform that is configurable, scalable, and the capability to support more than 4,000 I/O test points as well offering performance digital and analog test capabilities. The GENASYS platform, with its high-performance digital subsystem and high-density switching subsystem, provides LMSSC the required functionality to support both their legacy and future test needs.
Maximize the GX7016 High-Density Switching Architecture with SwitchEasy Software The GENASYS platform now features the GX7016, a high-density, modular switching subsystem with SwitchEasy software for easy use and high-performance testing of complex, high I/O count, and mixed-signal applications including those for complex electronic systems. With SwitchEasy software, test engineers no longer have to manually route individual signals, and can automatically and efficiently monitor relays. And, to support legacy test requirements, GENASYS includes software tools that test engineers can use to migrate existing applications to the GENASYS platform. For new, mission-critical test needs, the GENASYS platform offers test engineers advanced software tools with system and UUT simulation capabilities, and user-defined FPGA instrumentation for the support of custom control interfaces.
The high-performance PXI digital subsystem addresses a range of bus test requirements including 1553, 429, RS-232, and custom or parallel digital busses. In addition, the multiplexed pin architecture of the GENASYS platform supports more than 6,000 UUT pin connections. With hybrid pin capability, both analog and digital tests can be performed at the pin level.
Achieve Mission-Critical Success The GENASYS platform is ideal for high-value, mission-critical electronics applications whether at the board, box, or system level including satellite payloads, platform management systems, armament electronics and subsystems, and flight management and control systems.
To learn more about how the Marvin Test Solutions GENASYS functional test system can successfully address both current and future test needs that are currently supported by legacy functional test platforms, download the new white paper: Solving Functional Test Obsolescence.

Regenestem Network, a subsidiary of the Global Stem Cells Group, announced plans to join Charles Mahl, M.D. to open a Regenestem Health Clinic in the historic Westin Colonnade in Coral Gables, Florida. The state-of-the-art clinic will serve as the flagship center for the Regenestem Network and U.S. headquarters for stem cell training courses and patient treatments.
Mahl, a specialist in regenerative medicine, preventive aging medicine and pain therapy, is a member of the Global Stem Cells Group Advisory Board. His recent plans to open a clinic in the spectacular landmark hotel in central Miami lead Mahl to invite Global Stem Cells Group co-founder and Regenestem CEO Ricardo DeCubas to collaborate.
The Westin Colonnade clinic will offer pain, anti-aging and aesthetic regenerative medicine treatments and therapies.
The Regenestem Network is a global family of premier regenerative medicine providers all sharing the same missionto bring the latest in stem cell medicine to patients worldwide. The Regenestem Network is comprised of physicians, medical professionals, researchers, teachers and regenerative medicine product development specialists.
Regenestems commitment to helping improve the quality of life for patients through stem cell therapies makes it a model I wanted to incorporate into the clinic, Mahl says. This collaborative framework will allow us to offer patients promising new stem cell therapies and treatments.
The clinics location within the historic Coral Gables Westin Colonnade in central Miami will welcome patients from across the U.S., Canada, and worldwide. Located just five minutes from the University of Miami, the iconic neoclassical hotel built in the early 20th century that originally served as the offices for Coral Gables intellectual founder George Merrick now serves as a 157-room hotel and hosts a mix of offices and retail space.
According to DeCubas, the clinic will make pain management, anti-aging and aesthetic regenerative medicine treatments readily available to physicians and patients in a clinical setting.
We could not be more pleased or gratified to announce this new shared path of medical and scientific promise with Dr. Mahl and the Coral Gables Community, DeCubas says.
This opens new possibilities for discovery and treatments, and we are proud to work alongside Dr. Mahl to grow Regenestem Health into a cornerstone of patient care that will serve the community for years to come.

Phil Robertson's comments about same-sex marriage and LGBT people have earned him a freedom of speech award.
Later this month, the Duck Dynasty star will receive the Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award from Citizens United at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in National Harbor, Md., according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Jesse Jackson: Phil Robertson's comments are "more offensive" than Rosa Parks incident
In 2013, Robertson said in an interview with GQ that he believed homosexuality to be a sin, and later said that he believes AIDS is God's punishment for immorality. In the wake of his comments, A&E suspended him from the network, but lifted the suspension after backlash from many Duck Dynasty fans.
"Even when the entire mainstream media demanded he disavow his beliefs and attempted to have him fired from his own hit show for expressing these beliefs, he stood firm in his faith," Citizens United President David Bossie said, according to THR.
Phil Robertson continues to defend controversial comments
Added Robertson: "When one does not have the freedom to speak out loud and anywhere what one believes, freedom is dead."
He will receive the award on Feb. 27.
Do you think Robertson deserves an award for his remarks?
