Researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have created a reasoning virtual 4-year-old child. The "child," named "Eddie," can reason about his own beliefs to draw conclusions in a manner that matches human children of that age. To test Eddie's reasoning powers, the group created a demo in S...
Advances in nanotechnology have given flight to some seemingly fanciful, and also alarming, projections and fictional scenarios.
