	2022 | Needs for Robot Laws     An autonomous robot is involved in an accident (or a crime), resulting in the death of a human person. Several governments come to think about a set of regulations/ laws whose aim is to establish the "moral responsability" of autonomous machines.   posted by Cyril Fievet , on 03 SEP 2004 16:47:48 (UTC+01)   rate this: 70.00% (total 7) / 30.00% (total 3), post/view comments:   2022 | Death of the Turing Test     As a final nail in the coffin concerning the debate over the possibility of "Artifical Intelligence', around this time (2022) an 'AI' will refuse to answer questions stemming from a Turing test, claiming them to be biased and from an organic perspective.   posted by G.

This is a 6-hour job on my part, 8am-2pm, with a 40-minute break therein. This is public education (privately funded, like PBS). This is not my sole source of income.   posted by Corbin Supak , on 18 AUG 2004 03:25:15 (UTC+01)   rate this: 47.50% (total 19) / 52.50% (total 21), post/view comments:   2022 | operation cuban liberation     Fidel Castro will finally die, leaving room for Americans to push for democracy (although somewhat artificially, since our own democracy will be suffering). The embargo against Cuba will be lifted, making conditions in Cuba more favorable, but Miami will still have a higher concentration of Cubans than Havana.   posted by jnobody , on 17 AUG 2004 16:14:19 (UTC+01)   rate this: 52.50% (total 21) / 47.50% (total 19), post/view comments:   2022 | Manifest of New Paradigm     After year-long discussions in the media, a group that mostly consists of artists, but also of scientists and mystics of various denominations releases a first draft of a manifesto that is destined to shape the development of art and science in the new millennium. Release is probably done during a conference that spans many realms of human knowledge and focuses on long-range problems of humankind. Born from the "roaring twenties" of the new century, it draws from such various sources as (among many others) post-fractal geometry, heterachical integration psychology, network science, advanced subtle level perception, computer architecture, mental self-help techniques and neuronal nanochemistry. Being mass-spread by the planetary net, it evolves within months into a plethora of local intiatives that strive to implement in their disciplines what they have understood of the manifesto.   posted by reader , on 11 AUG 2004 14:20:15 (UTC+01)   rate this: 56.25% (total 27) / 43.75% (total 21), post/view comments:   2022 | Schweiz in der EU     Die Schweiz triit in der EU bei. Und zwar bei der Volksabstimmung im Mai waren 52% für ein Ja. Ausschlaggebend waren die Kantone Appenzell IR und URI, die sich mit 63% JA-Stimmen für ein EU-Beitritt erklärt haben   posted by dalai , on 11 AUG 2004 08:12:15 (UTC+01)   rate this: 51.72% (total 30) / 48.28% (total 28), post/view comments:   2022 | Boring Year     While all other years were pretty cool, 2022 is so boring that historians afterwards decide to skip '22. Fifty years later the urban rumors rises, that the philadehia experiment was resposible for the loss of a whole year :-) BTW - in 2021 humanity finally learned what humor is.   posted by Thomas , on 11 AUG 2004 00:34:14 (UTC+01)   rate this: 48.33% (total 29) / 51.67% (total 31), post/view comments:
