FanboyOf91 Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Quote In August, the state-run China Daily reported that the country had embarked on the development of a cruise missile system with a “high level” of artificial intelligence. The new system appears to be a response to a missile the United States Navy is expected to deploy in 2018 to counter growing Chinese military influence in the Pacific. Known as the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile, or L.R.A.S.M., it is described as a “semiautonomous” weapon. According to the Pentagon, this means that though targets are chosen by human soldiers, the missile uses artificial intelligence technology to avoid defenses and make final targeting decisions. The new Chinese weapon typifies a strategy known as “remote warfare,” said John Arquilla, a military strategist at the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, Calif. The idea is to build large fleets of small ships that deploy missiles, to attack an enemy with larger ships, like aircraft carriers. “They are making their machines more creative,” he said. “A little bit of automation gives the machines a tremendous boost.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, AI needs to be done with extreme caution. Automation is just as concerning to me as to millions of jobs being lost over time. I see the obvious value to advances but the down side to these things doesn't seem to be discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FanboyOf91 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Quote Increasingly, they're moving from assembly work to higher-value pursuits, such as engineering, design and branding. Outbound direct investment surged by 44 percent last year as Chinese firms acquired technology companies overseas. Investment in automation has soared: China is now the world's biggest market for industrial robots, with sales growing by about 20 percent a year. By and large, U.S. manufacturers haven't responded to this competition by becoming more innovative in their own right. One recent study found that, faced with rising Chinese imports, they've cut spending on research and development and filed far fewer patents. A bigger problem, as Apple's Tim Cook recently noted, is that the U.S. labor force lacks the skills required for large-scale advanced manufacturing.

FanboyOf91 Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/02/10/world/asia/trump-one-china-taiwan.html?smid=tw-share&referer=https://t.co/snMnZosxNI&utm_content=buffere02a6&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer Quote In an unusual move, the state-run Chinese news agency Xinhua posted on Twitter a cheeky quiz on the possible reason Mr. Trump had changed his mind on the One China policy. Twitter is banned in China. Xinhua gave four choices, giving prominent play to the options “blackmailing didn’t work” and “China’s unyielding stance,” and including the possibility that a visit by Ivanka Trump and her 5-year-old daughter, Arabella, to the Chinese Embassy’s New Year reception last week had played a role.
