AI Weekly: Contrary to current fears, AI will create jobs and grow GDP
"In separate reports, McKinsey and Tata recently outlined the socioeconomic impacts of AI and automation over the next 10 to 12 years, with both expecting AI to contribute to GDP growth -- as much as 1.2 percent over the next 10 years -- and $13 trillion in net economic benefits could be captured over the next 12 years. These forecasts also introduce several opportunities for entrepreneurs. At a technical level, a paucity of labeled data sets, lack transparency in AI systems, and difficulty in generalizing models across domains will need to be solved. At a social level, employees will need to be retrained, and policymakers will need steady hands through the transition..."

You Might Live in a 3D Printed House Some Day
"A mother and her three children huddle inside a tent as the rain beats thunderously outside. The water slowly seeps in and forms a pool around their feet, soaking their beds. Their home is a tarp and dirt floors. When the sun beats down, the tent is stifling. When it rains, the water rises so high they have to sleep standing up. This isn’t the world’s worst camping trip. This is how thousands of displaced people in Haiti, El Salvador and Pakistan live. Now, an alternative could be on its way.
While Washington debates a ban on the 3D printing of guns, others are using variations of the same technology to help rebuild lives. Faced with a crippling housing crisis globally, an emerging set of non-profits and companies is increasingly developing 3D printing technology that can churn out ready-to-use construction materials to build houses faster and often at lower costs than by conventional methods. New Story, a U.S.-based non-profit is partnering with tech company ICON, to build 600 - 800 square foot homes in some of the poorest parts of the world, using a specially designed 3D printer. Also in America, companies like MarkForged and Desktop Metal are manufacturing 3D metal printers that produce construction materials – and autoparts and electronics.
Across the Atlantic Ocean, the Dutch city of Eindhoven is preparing to build and rent out its first 3D printer-built houses in 2019. And back in the U.S., NASA is going one step further, seeking designs to build 3D houses on Mars. It might sound like a gimmick, but the technology can build a house in 24 hours for $4,000..."

New Artificial Intelligence Does Something Extraordinary — It Remembers
"Irina Higgins, a senior research scientist at Google DeepMind, used her presentation during the conference to announce that her team had begun to crack the code.
She had developed an AI agent — sort of like a video game character controlled by an AI algorithm — that could think more creatively than a typical algorithm. It could “imagine” what the things it encountered in one virtual environment might look like elsewhere. In other words, the neural net was able to disentangle certain objects that it encountered in a simulated environment from the environment itself..."

Disruption coming to an industry near you
"There are no sanctuaries — disruption is coming, and it may cause 40% of companies listed on the S&P 500 to disappear
Technology is expected to disrupt everything in future, from mining, manufacturing, medicine and agriculture to auditing.
The technology to disrupt today’s tech kings — the likes of Uber and Airbnb — already exists (it is called ethereum). The same is true for almost every industry, old and new..."

WASP Introduces the Modular WASP Crane Construction 3D Printer
"WASP, or the World’s Advanced Saving Project, is a versatile company with a reach that extends into multiple industries, from medicine to food and much more. But what it has perhaps become most well-known for is its large-scale construction 3D printers, with which it is currently working to 3D print an entire village. For the past two years, the company has been working on the development of a new construction 3D printer, and will be presenting it to the public on October 6th and 7th, where the village of Shamballa is being constructed..."

MIT’s New Robot Taught Itself to Pick Things Up the Way People Do
"Back in 2016, somewhere in a Google-owned warehouse, more than a dozen robotic arms sat for hours quietly grasping objects of various shapes and sizes. For hours on end, they taught themselves how to pick up and hold the items appropriately—mimicking the way a baby gradually learns to use its hands.
Now, scientists from MIT have made a new breakthrough in machine learning: their new system can not only teach itself to see and identify objects, but also understand how best to manipulate them..."

SCRIM: An Innovative Method for 3D Concrete Printing
"Researchers at the Centre for Information Technology and Architecture (CITA) of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and at the Danish Technological Institute have developed a new hybrid construction concept called "Sparse Concrete Reinforcement In Meshworks" (SCRIM). Their method, to be presented at the upcoming ROB|ARCH conference and outlined in a paper on Research Gate , addresses existing limitations in 3D concrete printing (3DCP) particularly related to the printing of non-extruded geometries, allows for full exploitation of six-axis robotic control and targets the manufacturing of lightweight components..."
