'Greatest peril': study finds Australia most dependent on China among the Five Eyes. The report did not recommend an immediate economic decoupling from China as that would be “painful and expensive” but said the Five Eyes countries should work together to prevent China dominating the nine industries that it identified would dominate the future economy. They are: artificial intelligence and machine learning, autonomous robotics, computing hardware, cryptographic technology, materials and manufacturing science, nano-technologies, networking and data communication, quantum technology and synthetic biology.

Almost No One Out There Thinks That Isaac Asimov's Three Laws Could Work For Truly Intelligent AI. The First Law fails because of ambiguity in language, and because of complicated ethical problems that are too complex to have a simple yes or no answer. The Second Law fails because of the unethical nature of having a law that requires sentient beings to remain as slaves. The Third Law fails because it results in a permanent social stratification, with the vast amount of potential exploitation built into this system of laws.

High school students will get hands-on experience in SA’s emerging space sector, as companies hope to inspire a new generation into becoming the workforce of the future. Premier Steven Marshall has announced a plan to give students in Years 10 to 12 the opportunity of work experience in a “pilot” scheme set to take off later this year.

Jaguar is willing to pay you to drive your car and it is all about connection, according to the British maker. The company will pay drivers in cryptocurrency for providing road data including traffic conditions and pothole locations. The data will then be passed on to navigation companies and local authorities to help improve traffic flow and expedite road repairs. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is developing a “Smart Wallet” to hold the cryptocurrency. It will allow users of connected cars to pay for a range of products including tolls, parking fees and electric vehicle charging.

Adelaide’s mission to become a “Space City” will have a boost today from an announcement that it will be the home of smart satellites. Alongside Space HQ — the Australian Space Agency — and the promised Mission Control and Space Discovery Centre, Adelaide will be the strategic and decision-making base of a SmartSat co-operative research centre (CRC)

Yang is running a rather methodical, data-driven, science-happy campaign. He’s applying that approach to more standard-issue problems like labor, climate change, and the economy but giving them a decidedly tech-forward approach: how (and why) we should define robots, what use might geoengineering have in saving the planet, and whether the government should embrace universal basic income and give every American a $1,000 check.

Aston Martin boss Andy Palmer says a push for semi-autonomous driving systems is “reckless”. Palmer says the brand won’t follow Tesla, Audi and Mercedes down the path of “level three” autonomous driving features, which allow people to hand over control to the car in some circumstances but put the responsibility back on the driver if something goes wrong.

Land Rover’s plan to fix the huge problem with driverless cars. The new tech would project the autonomous vehicle’s direction of travel onto the road ahead, giving surrounding pedestrians and other road users an indication of what the vehicle will do next.

Drone delivery service to fly to Canberra's northern suburbs. Plans for the permanent delivery service - which Wing is spruiking as a world first - come after the ACT Assembly last week agreed to launch an inquiry into the Bonython trial, which has been plagued by community angst over noise, privacy concerns and a perceived lack of government and regulatory oversight.

Uber's self-driving Volvo SUV, which observed Herzberg six seconds before the crash, didn't know "what" she was at first. The software originally classified her as an unknown object, then a vehicle, then a bicycle, the report said. At 1.3 seconds before the crash, the self-driving system realized emergency braking was needed to prevent a crash. But Uber had disabled the feature to reduce the potential for unwanted braking, such as for a plastic bag in the road. Some self-driving car companies use teams of two in their test vehicles. A person behind the wheel monitors the road, and someone in the passenger seat takes notes on a laptop.

The Uber self-driving car that struck and killed a woman crossing a roadway in March appears to have seen the victim and her bicycle with the car’s multiple sensors. But the car — the car’s software algorithms — apparently determined she was not in the car’s path, or she wasn’t a danger to the car. In other words, the car’s sensors generated what the car considered a false positive.
