Implementing sensitivity to norms, laws, and human values in computational systems has transitioned from philosophical reflection to an actual engineering challenge. The “value alignment” approach to dealing with superintelligent AIs tends to employ computationally friendly concepts such as utility functions, system goals, agent preferences, and value optimizers, which, this chapter argues, do not have intrinsic ethical significance. This chapter considers what may be lost in the excision of intrinsically ethical concepts from the project of engineering moral machines. It argues that human-level AI and superintelligent systems can be assured to be safe and beneficial only if they embody something like virtue or moral character and that virtue embodiment is a more appropriate long-term goal for AI safety research than value alignment.

Indonesian development runs on the foundation of Indonesia's long-term vision, namely the realization of nation-states, modern Indonesia that is safe and peaceful, fair and democratic, and prosperous by upholding human values, independence and unity based on Pancasila and The 1945 Constitution. To realize this, education as a subsystem is one of the important aspects to be considered in its direction and purpose so that education is not merely an aspect of supporting Indonesia's development, but as a locomotive of development itself. Because in reality, education is one aspect of life that is run by being influenced by various external aspects that are interrelated with each other such as political, economic, socio-cultural, defense-security aspects, even ideology has a very strong influence on the continuity of education, and vice versa. This paper aims to find out how the Long Term Development Plan (RPJP) is specifically regarding national education between 2005-2010 and 2010-2025. To achieve this goal, the author uses content analysis research using written documents that have been used as guidelines to determine the direction of the Indonesian government's policy in realizing national development. The results of the research in this paper show that the development of national education in the future is based on the paradigm of developing Indonesian people as a whole. The humanitarian dimension includes the three most basic things, namely: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. This is based on the desire to realize the education system as a strong and authoritative social institution to empower all citizens of Indonesia to develop into quality human beings so that they are able and proactively respond to the challenges of an ever-changing era.

Target Corporation’s famous use of big data to predict which of its customers were pregnant involved a potent cocktail of behavioral science and data science to influence customers’ behavior without their knowledge. In Target’s case, it sent coupons to pregnant women so as to habituate them into becoming long-term Target customers. Its real lesson is that human information confers the power to control human behavior. Rather than thinking principally about defining privacy, we should think about regulating to protect people from the power that human information confers. This conclusion has four important implications. First, it reveals that privacy is fundamentally about power—power over human beings in society. Second, struggles over “privacy” are really struggles over the rules that constrain the power that human information confers. Third, privacy rules of some sort are inevitable. Fourth, privacy should be thought of in instrumental terms to promote human values.

Background: Business ethics is the doorbell in management literature and for business houses today. The essence of human values is quite pertinent for long term sustenance of organizations. Understanding business ethics and its relevance in recent times is the most calling global challenge across organizations. The objective of the study is to explore and investigate the prominent domains and items that may be considered on the relevance, applicability and rationale of business ethics viz. Domain A: Employee Goals for Business Ethics, Domain B: Diversity Management, Domain C: Entity Value on Decision making, Domain D: Legal Perspectives of Business, E: Diversified Ethics with Gender Differentiation. The paper ultimately aims towards developing a scale for finding conclusive remarks in certain identifiable areas within the field of Business Ethics. The main source of conceptualizing the domains is formulated with related literature and the Experts opinion comprising both academicians and practicing managers in the industry in Kolkata as well as across the country through primary and secondary collection methods.

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract in English only.Robert Sparrow's critical reflection on the growing enthusiasm for applying AI to medicine is timely and deeply thought provoking. Despite AI's apparent benefits, its potential to restructure medical practice, the doctor–patient relationship and, more generally, human values in the long term give us every reason to be cautious. Before AI is fully embraced, its potential perils should be carefully considered.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 25 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.

AbstractNeurobiology-based interventions for mental diseases and searches for useful biomarkers of treatment response have largely failed. Clinical trials should assess interventions related to environmental and social stressors, with long-term follow-up; social rather than biological endpoints; personalized outcomes; and suitable cluster, adaptive, and n-of-1 designs. Labor, education, financial, and other social/political decisions should be evaluated for their impacts on mental disease.

AbstractRapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) of words or pictured scenes provides evidence for a large-capacity conceptual short-term memory (CSTM) that momentarily provides rich associated material from long-term memory, permitting rapid chunking (Potter 1993; 2009; 2012). In perception of scenes as well as language comprehension, we make use of knowledge that briefly exceeds the supposed limits of working memory.

AbstractA long-term photographic search programme for minor planets was begun at the Kleť Observatory at the end of seventies using a 0.63-m Maksutov telescope, but with insufficient respect for long-arc follow-up astrometry. More than two thousand provisional designations were given to new Kleť discoveries. Since 1993 targeted follow-up astrometry of Kleť candidates has been performed with a 0.57-m reflector equipped with a CCD camera, and reliable orbits for many previous Kleť discoveries have been determined. The photographic programme results in more than 350 numbered minor planets credited to Kleť, one of the world's most prolific discovery sites. Nearly 50 per cent of them were numbered as a consequence of CCD follow-up observations since 1994.This brief summary describes the results of this Kleť photographic minor planet survey between 1977 and 1996. The majority of the Kleť photographic discoveries are main belt asteroids, but two Amor type asteroids and one Trojan have been found.

AbstractThe large-scale coronal structures observed during the sporadically visible solar eclipses were compared with the numerically extrapolated field-line structures of coronal magnetic field. A characteristic relationship between the observed structures of coronal plasma and the magnetic field line configurations was determined. The long-term evolution of large scale coronal structures inferred from photospheric magnetic observations in the course of 11- and 22-year solar cycles is described.Some known parameters, such as the source surface radius, or coronal rotation rate are discussed and actually interpreted. A relation between the large-scale photospheric magnetic field evolution and the coronal structure rearrangement is demonstrated.
