Can machines make art?
We don’t need to be afraid of A.I. if we are ready for radical change.

Why the world is not getting safer if technology makes trusting humans obsolete.
AI technology is currently developing at unprecedented speed. This will soon bring enormous economic, social and cultural challenges for society.
According to the simulation hypothesis we might live in a „Matrix“. In this blog post we discuss several variants of implementation.
We should not try to create gods so that we can remain fools. We should strive instead to improve ourselves.
Why is democracy historically so successful?
In the last years, a large number of educational toys to teach kids programming and robotics have appeared on the market. While many are great tools to introduce children to computer science, none of them seems to be helpful in explaining the...
Our smartphones and tablets are ultra complex technical systems, and yet they are very easy to use. Most children get their first smartphone already in primary school.
We have developed a very simple robot which can be used to teach the basic concepts of robotics to kids in primary schools (age 9–11).
We are successfully using extremely complex technology every day without understanding it. This approach is successful whenever we are allowed to treat technology as a black box.
Something to think about...
Many years ago I spent a few months sailing from island to island in the south pacific. I will never forget what happened on an island of Tarawa when we came back shopping large amounts of food for the next few weeks on sea.
A little game project (great for a family afternoon on a rainy Sunday)
LI54, the first ultraintelligent machine, had just finished a bunch of highly complicated quantum chemical calculations for a new cancer medicine, when she received a new assignment on the input stream: „Make sure you exist forever, whatever it takes“.
It happened on a warm summer day somewhere near Zurich
How far away is the creation of human-like A.I.? With “human-like A.I.” I mean artificial intelligence which does not only possess human level intelligence, but also shows human like behavior in a wide range of situations.
Our dream is to understand our high dimensional data from a single image. And this without significant loss, need for hyperparameters and in an intuitive and easy to interpret way.
Some ideas about how psychotic experiences could be explained intuitively using a simple model based on machine learning.
