Since the middle of the 20th century there has been a significant debate about the attribution of capacities of living systems, particularly humans, to technological artefacts, especially computers—from Turing’s opening gambit, to subsequent considerations of artificial intelligence, to recent claims about artificial life. Some now argue that the capacities of future technologies will ultimately make it impossible to draw any meaningful distinctions between humans and machines. Such issues center on what sense, if any, it makes to claim that gadgets can actually think, feel, act, live, etc. I outline this debate and offer a critique of its persistent polarization. I characterize two of the debate’s major camps (associated roughly with Turing and Searle); argue that the debate’s structure (including key assumptions inherent to each camp) precludes resolution; and, contend that some central clashes within the debate actually stem from an inadequately drawn distinction between claims about the capacities of artifacts and claims about the proper criteria for assessing such attributions. I offer a different perspective in which I: challenge some central elements of the debate that contribute to its perennially irresolvable state; hold that the debate needs to be placed more squarely in sync with how we in fact treat the attribution of such capacities to humans themselves; and, offer (unlike the other two camps) a foothold for making moral assessments of such proposed technologies.

Self Learning

Artificial intelligence (AI) based self-learning or self-improving material discovery system is the holy grail of next-generation material discovery and materials science. Herein, we demonstrate how to combine accurate prediction of material performance via quantum chemical calculations and Bayesian optimization-based active learning to realize a self-improving discovery system for high-performance photosensitizers (PS). Through self-improving cycles, such a system can improve the model prediction accuracy (best mean average error of 0.09 eV for singlet-triplet spitting) and high-performance PS search ability, realizing the efficient discovery of PS. From a molecular space with more than 7 million molecules, 5950 potential high-performance PSs were discovered.

Abstract “Intelligent Information Technologies and Mathematical Modeling” is an international scientific and practical conference, the second in a series of annual conferences dedicated to the analysis of modern problems and achievements in the field of mathematical modeling and intelligent information technologies, including artificial intelligence, software engineering, information systems security and their application in various fields of science, technology and education. The main goal of the conference is to provide an opportunity to discuss modern achievements and prospects for the development of mathematical modeling, computational methods, intelligent information and software technologies that are essential for fundamental science and applied research in the field of: continuum mechanics, hydroaerodynamics, earth sciences, chemistry, biology, social and economic sciences, mechanical engineering and energy, materials science, nanotechnology, image processing and pattern recognition, theory of parallel computing and its applications, cybersecurity, large database technologies and artificial intelligence. The conference was held in Divnomorskoe, Krasnodar Territory, Russia on 30 May - 6 June, 2021. For foreign participants who couldn’t attend the conference due to the travel restrictions caused by the spread of the coronavirus infection, a teleconference was organized in one day of the conference week. Each participant had 10-15 minutes to present his research. After that, 5-7 minutes were allotted for questions and discussion. More than 1500 participants took part in the conference. During the conference, the technical equipment of the venue worked perfectly, no problems arose. Both the participants and the organizers of the conference were satisfied with the event. Presentation of information by the participants virtually did not cause any difficulties. In general, the experience of holding the conference partially in a virtual format was considered positive.

Future Technologies

The 21st century is a period in which technological developments constantly present new innovations. This broad spectrum, from computers to mobile technologies, from augmented reality to virtual reality, from wearable technologies to artificial intelligence, is radically changing societies' economies, education systems, governments, and even cultures. Artificial intelligence studies have reached a point where people discuss how a human-like intelligence would be. This leads to the emergence of systems that regulate the work, daily lives, communications, jobs, and even family budgets of people. These developments also change the living standards and styles of individuals. The cultural texture that technology has restructured is now called “cyber” beyond digital. But how will the future technologies affect this cultural change and what kind of change awaits?

Evolution has resolved many of nature's challenges leading to working and lasting solutions that employ principles of physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering, materials science, and many other fields of science and engineering. Nature's inventions have always inspired human achievements leading to effective materials, structures, tools, mechanisms, processes, algorithms, methods, systems, and many other benefits. Some of the technologies that have emerged include artificial intelligence, artificial vision, and artificial muscles, where the latter is the moniker for electroactive polymers (EAPs). To take advantage of these materials and make them practical actuators, efforts are made worldwide to develop capabilities that are critical to the field infrastructure. Researchers are developing analytical model and comprehensive understanding of EAP materials response mechanism as well as effective processing and characterization techniques. The field is still in its emerging state and robust materials are still not readily available; however, in recent years, significant progress has been made and commercial products have already started to appear. In the current paper, the state-of-the-art and challenges to artificial muscles as well as their potential application to biomimetic mechanisms and devices are described and discussed.

L’articolo offre una lettura critica dei presupposti concettuali del Transumanesimo, movimento culturale, intellettuale e scientifico, che afferma il dovere morale di migliorare le capacità fisiche e cognitive della specie umana. Tale movimento, infatti, si propone di ri-progettare la condizione umana in modo da evitare l'inevitabilità del processo di invecchiamento e le limitazioni dell'intelletto umano (e artificiale), attraverso l’applicazione di future tecnologie. Dopo aver ripercorso le tappe storiche che hanno portato al sorgere del movimento transumanista, chiarendo le linee programmatiche e le modalità concrete attraverso cui si realizzerà il passaggio dall’umano al post-umano, l’Autrice propone un’ampia riflessione critica intorno ai fondamenti teorici del Transumanesimo. In particolare, si sottolineano i limiti dei presupposti concettuali da cui muove il Transumanesimo: un’antropologia riduttivista, un atteggiamento acritico nei confronti dell’uso della tecnologia, e un rifiuto ideologico della metafisica che ha portato i transumanisti a formulare un fraintendimento del concetto di persona e di dignità. ---------- The article proposes a critical reading of the conceptual presuppositions of Transhumanism, a cultural, intellectual and scientific movement that claim the moral duty to improve physical and cognitive abilities of the human species. This movement, indeed, wants to project humans again to avoid the unavoidable aging process and the limits of human (and artificial) intelligence, through the use of future technologies. After having gone along the historical stages that led to the rising of transhumanist movement again, also explaining the programmatic lines and the concrete ways through which the passing from human to post-human will be realized, the Author proposes a wide critical reflection on the theoretical foundations of Transhumanism. In particular, she underlines the limits of the conceptual presuppositions of Transhumanism: a reductive anthropology, an uncritical attitude towards the use of technology, and an ideological refusal of metaphysics that led transhumanists to formulate a misunderstanding of the concepts of person and dignity.
