If Biden Gets His Way, Correct Pronouns Could Be Harassment – The Federalist

March 20, 2023 | Author: admin

President Joe Bidens Department of Education plans to enact new rule changes to civil rights law this May that would end free speech as Americans have known it.

The changes would inject gender ideology straight into the heart of Title IX of the Civil Rights Act by erasing the Supreme Courts long-standing distinction between protected speech and punishable conduct.

In its 1999 ruling in Davis v. Monroe County Board of Education, the Supreme Court held that expressive activity such as speech can only constitute harassment when it is so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it can no longer be considered pure speech and is more properly viewed as actionable conduct. In the process, the court emphasized that single instances of speech no matter how offensive to the listener do not rise to the level of harassment.

The Biden administration is purposefully muddying the waters between mere speech and harassing conduct specifically to force the use of pronouns and gender-affirming language. Under the proposed rule, students and faculty can violate Title IX simply for refusing to use someone elses preferred pronouns.

Ideally, investigations involving Title IX are mindful of First Amendment protections and proceed according to the American standard of due process that a person is innocent until proven guilty. Title IX has typically been reserved for incidents of sexual assault or harassment. Under the Biden administration, however, students and faculty could be reported for mere speech. By coercing and compelling speech, this administration will set legal precedent ablaze and steamroll arguably our nations most foundational principle.

In the U.S., the First Amendment protects a very wide range of speech and, therefore, actions that demonstrate political messages. The highest court in the land has ruled that the Nazi Party of Americas march through Skokie, Illinois, and the burning of the American flag are protected forms of speech.

Whats really going on here? The administration, spurred on by power-hungry college administrators, seeks the destruction of freedom of speech by other means. It wishes for us to become Canada. In the Great White North, the alleged misuse of pronouns is not just illegal, it is a human rights violation.

Following a drawn-out court battle in the Canadian justice system, the court told a Canadian father that he had to stop referring to his own daughter as a girl because his daughter identified as a boy. The father rightfully refused to comply with the court order, and in May 2021, a warrant was issued for his arrest.

He had originally sought mental health help for his daughter, but by the time of the litigation, she had already been transitioning for two years. The father was jailed as a criminal.

In 2016, Canadian professor Jordan Peterson refused to use transgender pronouns and condemned Canadas bill C-16, legislation that codified gender ideology into Canadian law. Now Peterson is facing the governing body of the College of Psychologists of Ontario, which is threatening to pull his psychology license if he doesnt undergo social media re-education.

During the Canadian trucker strike of 2022, a Polish-Canadian pastor was jailed for 51 days for just speaking to the convoy.

Canadas totalitarian actions even extend to political opponents. In 2021, Maxime Bernier, leader of the Peoples Party of Canada, was arrested for attending an anti-lockdown event in protest of Canadas authoritarian lockdowns. Bernier warned that Americans should not take their freedoms for granted.

The United States boasts a rich, intrepid history of protecting and enforcing both the natural and legal rights of its citizens. Despite that history of liberty, theres a rapidly growing desire on the left to control myriad forms of speech, everywhere and at all times.

This trend is readily apparent across the country. From college campuses to corporate offices, and from social media platforms to bookstores, speech is increasingly under attack from leftist elites. And theres still much more damage that can be done.

With Title IX enforcing gender ideology, what will happen to students who disagree with this dangerous dogma? What will happen to students who believe in basic biology, namely the notion that there are two sexes, that a man cant become a woman, and vice versa? What will happen to students who have traditional values and remain true to their faith?

The answer is alarming. Under this butchered version of civil rights law, these students will be vulnerable to an array of punishments, including suspension and even expulsion. They will be treated as lawbreakers. And inevitably, they will be vilified in the left-dominated public square, crushing professional dreams and aspirations. Either comply or face the social guillotine.

Biden is confused about a lot of things. You would hope he would at least know the difference between Canada and the United States.

Artificial Intelligence Preventing Workplace Accidents Before They … – Nationwide Newsroom

March 20, 2023 | Author: admin

Business owners want to keep their employees safe while on the job. Despite their best efforts, they may not be able to see a workplace hazard even if its right in front of them.

Nationwide, Swiss Re Reinsurance Solutions and CompScience understand the role that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can play in helping business owners find those safety blind spots. Theyre teaming up to make CompSciences Intelligent Safety Platform available to more business owners and prevent workplace injuries.

CompSciences technology detects previously unreported workplace risks by analyzing existing workplace videos to identify and stop an accident before it happens. CompSciences computer vision models can detect more than 50 behavioral and environmental hazards. The technology has reduced their customers workers compensation claims by as much as 23%.

Nationwide looked at two years of actuarial data and saw that the technology shows promise. We found that the CompScience computer vision models, data science, and reporting tools could help potentially save lives and reduce costs, said John Lopes, SVP of Nationwide Product Expansion.This platform provides truly actionable insights into workplace risks.

We are pleased to be partnering with Nationwide and Swiss Re so that we can bring the disruptive power of computer vision and data science to help reduce losses on Workers Comp policies," explained Josh Butler, Founder and CEO, CompScience.

In this new partnership, CompScience will act as a managing general agent (MGA). Nationwide will underwrite, bind and service the workers compensation policies and Swiss Re will provide data analytics and reinsurance capacity.

"Both Nationwide and Swiss Re recognize that insurance products are ripe for innovation and we are ready to go to market now that weve proven the impact of our approach. We work tirelessly to eliminate workplace hazards and accidents so that everyone can go home safely each day, said Jacob Geyer, Chief Insurance Officer, CompScience.

"We're delighted to be part of a project that helps make workplaces safer and reduces the financial cost of insurance protection," said Sebastien Bert, Head Strategic Partnerships US,Swiss ReReinsurance Solutions. Our predictive risk models enable benchmarking against the market, monitors portfolio trends, and allows CompScience to quantify the value of its risk mitigating technology.

Potential to locate life on Mars with Artificial Intelligence – Innovation News Network

March 20, 2023 | Author: admin

As there are only a few opportunities to collect samples from Mars in the search for life beyond Earth, it is crucial that these missions target locations that have the best chance of harbouring extra-terrestrial life. The new study, led by an international team of over 50 researchers, ensures that this can be supported by using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning methods. This technology can be used to identify hidden patterns within geographical data that could indicate the presence of life on Mars.

The work, Orbit-to-Ground Framework to Decode and Predict Biosignature Patterns in Terrestrial Analogues, has been published in Nature Astronomy.

The first part of the study, led by Dr Kimberley Warren-Rhodes at the SETI Institute, was an ecological survey of a 3 km area in the Salar de Pajonales basin, at the boundary of the Chilean Atacama Desert and Altiplano in South America. This was used to map the distribution of photosynthetic microorganisms. Gene sequencing and infrared spectroscopy were also used to reveal distinct markers of life, called biosignatures. Aerial images were then combined with this data to train a Machine Learning model to predict which macro- and microhabitat types would be associated with biosignatures that could indicate life on Mars and other areas.

The resulting model could locate and detect biosignatures up to 87.5% of the time on data on which it was not trained. This decreased the search area required to find a positive result by up to 97%. In the future, life on Mars could be detected through the identification of the areas most likely to contain signs of life. These can then be extensively searched by rovers.

Dr Freddie Kalaitzis from the University of Oxfords Department of Computer Science led the application of Machine Learning methods to microhabitat data. He said: This work demonstrates an AI-guided protocol for searching for life on a Mars-like terrestrial analogue on Earth. This protocol is the first of its kind trained on actual field data, and its application can, in principle, generalise to other extreme life-harbouring environments. Our next steps will be to test this method further on Earth with the aim that it will eventually aid our exploration for biosignatures elsewhere in the solar system, such as Mars, Titan, and Europa.

On Earth, one of the most similar analogues to Mars is the Pajonales, a four-million-year-old lakebed. This area is considered to be inhospitable to most forms of life. Comparable to the evaporitic basins of Mars, the high altitude (3,541 m) basin experiences exceptionally strong levels of ultraviolet radiation, hypersalinity, and low temperatures.

The researchers collected over 7,700 images and 1,150 samples and tested for the presence of photosynthetic microbes living within the salt domes, rocks, and alabaster crystals that make up the basins surface. Here, biosignature markers, such as carotenoid and chlorophyll pigments, could be seen as orange-pink and green layers respectively.

Ground sampling data and 3D topographical mapping were combined with the drone images to classify regions into four macrohabitats (metre to kilometre scales) and six microhabitats (centimetre scale). The team found that the microbial organisms across the study site were clustered in distinct regions, despite the Pajonales having a near-uniform mineral composition.

Follow-up experiments showed that rather than environmental variables, like nutrient or light availability, determining the position of, biological hotspots water availability is the most likely factor.

The combined dataset was used to train convolutional neural networks to predict which macro- and microhabitats were most strongly associated with biosignatures.

For both the aerial images and ground-based centimetre-scale data, the model demonstrated high predictive capability for the presence of geological materials strongly likely to contain biosignatures, said Dr Kalaitzis.

The results aligned well with ground-truth data, with the distribution of biosignatures being strongly associated with hydrological features.

Now, the researchers aim to test the models ability to predict the location of similar yet different natural systems in the Pajonales basin, such as ancient stromatolite fossils. The model will also be used to map other harsh ecosystems, including hot springs and permafrost soils. The data from these studies will inform and test hypotheses on the mechanisms that living organisms use to survive in extreme environments.

Our study has once again demonstrated the power of Machine Learning methods to accelerate scientific discovery through its ability to analyse immense volumes of different data and identify patterns that would be indiscernible to a human being, Dr Kalaitzis added.

Ultimately, we hope the approach will facilitate the compilation of a databank of biosignature probability and habitability algorithms, roadmaps, and models that can serve as a guide for exploration of life on Mars.

Artificial Intelligence is Slowly Taking over the World and Humans … – Transcontinental Times

March 20, 2023 | Author: admin

INDIA: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made giant progress in recent years and has the potential to change various industries.

While the benefits of Artificial Intelligence are evident, its also worth noting that AI is expected to take over many jobs currently performed by humans.

- Advertisement -

Unfortunately, many people are unaware of this, and there seems to be a general sense of blindness about this impending reality.

Artificial Intelligence is far more dangerous than we can possibly imagine, as Elon Musk has repeatedly warned us. He has stated that AI could become an existential threat to humanity if it is not regulated and developed safely.

- Advertisement -

Musk believes that we should be cautious when developing Artificial Intelligence and that it should be restricted for further advancement.

The reality is that Artificial Intelligence is already taking over jobs across various industries. Chatbots, autonomous vehicles, and robots are just a few examples.

Customer serviceChatbots have replaced human representatives in many companies. Autonomous vehicles are being developed to replace human drivers.

Robots are being designed to perform tasks that were previously performed by humans in manufacturing industries.

According to recent data, many companies have already replaced a significant number of jobs with AI systems.

The list of jobs that Artificial Intelligence will take over is extensive and includes tasks that were previously thought to be exclusively human, such as writing, journalism, graphic design, and law. Even jobs that require creativity and critical thinking are vulnerable to an AI takeover.

There are growing concerns about whether AI can think and become conscious. The Sophia robot is one example of how AI is becoming more sophisticated and human-like, raising questions about the nature of AI and its potential impact on humanity.

In addition to the aforementioned points, its worth noting that there have been several incidents that demonstrate the potential danger of AI.

For example, in 2019, a seven-year-old boy in Russia lost two fingers after an AI-powered educational robot, designed to teach children to play chess, grabbed his hand and wouldnt let go.

This incident highlights the risk of physical harm posed by AI-powered devices, especially when they are not designed or programmed properly.

But the question of whether Artificial Intelligence can think or become conscious is a complex one. While current AI technology is not truly thinking or conscious in the same way that humans are, some experts believe that there is a possibility that AI could eventually reach a point where it is self-aware and able to make decisions based on its own desires and goals, rather than simply following pre-programmed rules.

If AI can achieve consciousness, this could be the time when it takes over 100% of humans.

This raises serious ethical concerns about the potential for AI to become uncontrollable and even hostile toward humans.

In terms of coping with the potential impact of AI on jobs, several strategies could be pursued.

For example, governments and companies could invest in education and training programs to help workers transition to jobs that are less likely to be automated.

In addition, policies could be implemented to provide financial assistance and support for workers who are displaced by AI.

The development of AI was initially motivated by the need to create machines that could perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence, such as automating dangerous and life-threatening jobs.

However, as AI technology has advanced, its applications have evolved and are taking a different direction.

Its also important to recognize that AI is not inherently good or bad, but rather a tool that can be used for both positive and negative purposes.

Therefore, we must continue to monitor the development of AI and ensure that it is used responsibly and ethically.

Ultimately, the future of AI is in our hands, and its up to us to decide how we want this technology to shape our world.

In conclusion, AI has enormous potential but also poses significant risks. It is crucial to recognize these risks and start thinking about solutions to mitigate them.

Otherwise, we may face a future where AI has taken over many aspects of our lives, leaving humans with few opportunities for meaningful work and participation in society.

On Humanity and Brutality in ‘A.I. Artificial Intelligence’ – The Michigan Daily

March 20, 2023 | Author: admin

The conversation surrounding the future of Artificial Intelligence weighs heavily on the possibility of artificial life becoming a sentient threat to the human race. Steven Spielbergs (The Fabelmans) A.I. Artificial Intelligence changes the tone of this conversation and turns a mirror to mankind, a reminder that humans are solely responsible for what they bring into the world.

A.I. opens on a catastrophic picture. Surging waves swallow the screen as a narrator tells the familiar tale of a planet ravaged by humans. With only the developed world left with a fighting chance, humans turned to an invention that would maximize economic profit and minimize resource consumption: mecha (humanoid robots).

The idea for A.I. comes from the minds of cinema legends Spielberg and Stanley Kubrick (The Shining), both recognized for their influence on the sci-fi genre. Kubrick conceived A.I. about two decades before passing the project to Spielberg, deciding he would be better suited to handling the intensely sentimental material. Elements of The Adventures of Pinocchio and even Mary Shelleys Frankenstein can be found in A.I. a story driven by the love for and the desire to be loved by our creators. Although Kubrick did not live to see the final cut, his influence on A.I. is present and valuable to one of Spielbergs darkest and most lachrymose tales of heartbreak, humanity and brutality.

In the world of A.I., Mecha become more than just a means to survive, and the cybertronic industry begins mass-marketing them for human use. David (Haley Joel Osment, The Sixth Sense), a prototype Mecha built to resemble a young boy and programmed to feel love, is given to grieving couple Henry (Sam Robards, American Beauty) and Monica Swinton (Frances OConnor, The Conjuring 2) after their ailing son Martin (Jake Thomas, Lizzie McGuire) is placed in cryostasis.

Once warmed to him, Monica recites an imprinting code that causes David to feel unconditional love for her. David relishes life as her son until Martin is miraculously cured and becomes vindictively jealous of David. The tension culminates in an unfortunate incident that triggers a decision to disassemble David. Monica, unable to send David to his destruction, instead abandons him with Teddy (Jack Angel, Toy Story), Martins Mecha teddy bear. Monica warns David to stay away from humans: Im sorry I didnt tell you about the world, she tells him. In a scene shot in beautiful Spielberg fashion, David begs Monica not to leave him and clings to the side of the car, his small figure confined in the cars side-view mirror as she accelerates away.

The meaning behind Monicas warning is revealed shortly, as David proves himself to be just as vulnerable to the world as a human child would be. He, along with Teddy, is captured by a Flesh Fair a sadistic, circus-esque spectacle and Spielberg spares the audience no discomfort in the films most disturbing scene.

Let he who is without Sim cast the first stone, Flesh Fair presenter Lord Johnson-Johnson (Brendan Gleeson, The Banshees of Inisherin) preaches sanctimoniously to the crowd of humans who roar as Mecha are tortured, blown apart, melted and disassembled barbarically at the Flesh Fair: Celebration of Life. This allusion to John 8:7 of the Bible equates the quality of artificial life to sinfulness, demonstrating that the humans of this future have failed to advance beyond the tendency to fear the unknown and seek to destroy the unnatural. In the words of a Mecha awaiting slaughter, They made us too smart, too quick and too many. We are suffering for the mistakes they made because when the end comes, all that will be left is us. Thats why they hate us. The thought is a warning we must heed a sad reminder of the human inability to look past otherness and perceive without judgment, resentment or hate.

David and Teddy narrowly escape the Flesh Fair, spared by the chaos made by the onlookers who are stricken by Davids likeness to a helpless child. In this sequence, Kubricks influence is found in the unforgiving depiction of violence and Spielbergs incredible ability to invoke empathy for his characters is on full display. David, doe-eyed and clutching Teddy, starkly contrasts the violence of his surroundings. The Kubrick-Spielberg fusion paints the bleak picture that is the backdrop to Davids innocence reminiscent of Spielbergs E.T. and even the little girl in the red coat in Schindlers List.

Spielberg juxtaposes the humanity of the Mecha with the wickedness of humans, urging the audience to disagree with the notion that artificial life cannot grant humanity, and that biological life alone endows it. A re-examination of the first act of A.I., though less brutal and more subtle in its messaging than the second, reveals that this theme has already been introduced by Spielberg.When there are two boys living in the Swinton home, it is not the artificial child who exhibits spiteful and manipulative behavior it is the real child. Monica, who warns David of other humans, commits perhaps the cruelest act of all herself giving David the ability to love in order to fill a void in her life, then abandoning him to fall prey to her predator kin.

Even though Monica disowns him, David recalls a story she once read to him about a marionette who desperately wanted to be a real boy and whose wish was granted by a fairy. David sets off on a journey to meet the Blue Fairy (Meryl Streep, The Post) from The Adventures of Pinocchio, believing Monica will love him again if he is made into a real boy.

The story of Pinocchio is a much milder, more compassionate version of Shelleys Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus. A.I. favors the darkness of the gothic tale. Both stories scrutinize the risks and ethics of advanced technology in the hands of human beings. Popular media has redrawn the face of Shelleys masterpiece as a token of camp horror, but it is in fact a science fiction tale. Dr. Frankenstein, a gifted but obsessive scientist, succeeds in creating sapient life only to reject his creation and leave it to suffer alone in the unforgiving world.

Without a soul to guide or console it, the monster contemplates its existence harshly with a passionate self-hatred sprung from the pervasive separation between itself and the race of men. I was, besides, endued with a figure hideously deformed and loathsome; I was not even of the same nature as man Was I, then, a monster, a blot upon the Earth, from which all men fled and whom all men disowned?

When the monster confronts its creator, it asks Frankenstein why he would give life to a thing he could only hate and cast it away to be shunned and abused by all of mankind I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on.

The monster, though composed of adult body parts and of frightening stature, possesses a childlike optimism and curiosity similar to David in A.I. Both creations are abandoned callously and spend their journeys in near absolute solitude as they live on with the sole ambition of reuniting with their creators. The Modern Prometheus and Modern Pinocchio raise the question of how we define humanity, as Shelley and Spielberg bring attention to the flaws of men and the empathy we feel for the other.

Frankenstein and A.I. should be taken as warnings rather than mere works of fiction. Shelley explores the delicate relationship between creator and creation that is sensitive to imbalance, the supernatural elements of her work serving as a vehicle to convey the consequences of playing God. Themes of creation and acceptance are shared with A.I. a less miraculous but imaginative cautionary tale of our future as a society if we continue on the path we are on, and an intelligent commentary of the morality of A.I. and how we understand humanity. Still, at the heart of the analogous stories of Frankensteins monster and David is the simple yet profound desire to be loved by their creators.

The fulfillment of this desire takes the form of maternal love in Davids story, a natural force so desperately needed that it manifests between a human and a Mecha. Maternal love, and the mercy of a woman, anchors Davids poignant journey as Monica and the Blue Fairy are idolized and worshipped in his adoring eyes. In the face of tragedy and atrocity, it is these two feminine figures that keep Davids hope and humanity intact. At worlds end, where the lions weep, David finds himself face-to-face with a statue of the Blue Fairy, submerged underwater among the relics of a sunken Coney Island. She who smiled softly forever, she who welcomed forever. Eventually, the floodlights dimmed and died, but David could still see her palely by day and he still addressed her in hope.

Centuries pass before a battery-drained David is woken by alien-like, evolved Mecha in a world without humans. In their meeting, an evolved Mecha confesses, I often felt a sort of envy of human beings. Of that thing they call spirit. Human beings have created a million explanations of life: in art, in poetry and mathematical formulas. Certainly, human beings must be the key to the meaning of existence. The words of this Mecha revisit the question of humanity, and the audience is reminded of the future society Spielberg presented to them impaired by technological materialism and devoid of the noble pursuits and pleasures that give life meaning. David, the last artifact of human existence, possesses what the humans of his time did not: the very spirit that allowed him to find purpose in life through love and wish for nothing more than his mothers affection.

What may appear as impertinent or illusive ideas from A.I. and even Frankenstein are in fact valuable analyses of mankind that are essential to the modern discourse on AI. We should not just ask ourselves whether artificial beings are trustworthy, but if we are. As A.I. warns us, the pursuit of an automated future may cost us our humanity our spirit. And in such a world so bleak and colorless, the meaning of existence is lost.
