Shared Goal

Today, it is evident that we are part of a planetary trust. Conserving our planet represents a public good, global as well as local. The threats to future generations resulting from human activities make applying the normative framework of a planetary trust even more urgent than in the past decades. Initially, the planetary trust focused primarily on threats to the natural system of our human environment such as pollution and natural resource degradation, and on threats to cultural heritage. Now, we face a higher threat of nuclear war, cyber wars, and threats from gene drivers that can cause inheritable changes to genes, potential threats from other new technologies such as artificial intelligence, and possible pandemics. In this context, it is proposed that in the kaleidoscopic world, we must engage all the actors to cooperate with the shared goal of caring for and maintaining planet Earth in trust for present and future generations.

This article presents a brief overview of the effect of new technologies, how they are changing the manufacturing process, and how the machines are starting to get a lot smarter thanks to the artificial intelligence. The focus is over the examination of Industry 4.0 and how it revolutionized the whole manufacturing segment and what promise of a better, more efficient future it brings. This analysis focuses primarily on how artificial intelligence is integrated, what benefits it brings, and how big of an improvement it is over basic programming. Part of the research is based on 771 publications tracked over the past three to five years. Publications are within some of the well-known databases Scopus, Web of Science, and IEEE. We will examine the basic use case scenarios where AI is crucially needed and how a new generation of the factory can look and feel like a living human being. Keywords: Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, predictive maintenance, industrial robotics, computer vision.

It is not as though degradation of environment is only a recent phenomenon. In the past also human activities have resulted in the degradation of environment, though they were not aware of it. Mans impact on the environment has resulted in pollution of environment. The protection and improvement of the human environment is a major issue which affects the well-being of people and economic development. Environmental protection is a practice of protecting the environment, on organizational levels, for the benefit of the natural environment and human- been.  According to section 2 (a) of the environmental protection Act, ‘Environment’ includes water, air and land inter-relationship which exists among and between water, air and land and human beings other living creatures, plants, micro-organism and property.  There are about two hundred laws dealing with environmental protection both before and after independence in India.

In this article, I discuss problems associated with new technologies, digital communications and the future of analog interaction models. I also analyze the development possibilities of artificial intelligence and neural networks based on analog computhttping systems. The transformation today, involves a radical change in existing models and the rediscovery of the benefits of some traditional approaches, which in another context can be much more effective than existing information and digital tools. In this case, it is the analog approaches of quantum computing in combination with new technologies that lead to better results, development of society and the creation of a more human environment.

High-performance computing (HPC) storage systems are a key component of the success of HPC to date. Recently, we have seen major developments in storage-related technologies, as well as changes to how HPC platforms are used, especially in relation to artificial intelligence and experimental data analysis workloads. These developments merit a revisit of HPC storage system architectural designs. In this paper we discuss the drivers, identify key challenges to status quo posed by these developments, and discuss directions future research might take to unlock the potential of new technologies for the breadth of HPC applications.

Artificial Intelligence is a type of program that think, mimic and act like human and do all the activities that a human can do . In the past decade, Artificial Intelligence has observed a great rise in many field. Artificial Intelligence has now become a very important tools which has changed the way we interact in front of others & in future it will change the way we live our lives. It also explore the current use of artificial intelligence. These days, Artificial Intelligence solves various complex problems in various field of our lives like medicines, data, weather forecasting, science, business, emergency. In the future, Artificial Intelligence will replace and upgrade human activities in many areas. This paper gives an overview of Artificial Intelligence and its application in different areas of our lives. This paper also explore the current use of Artificial Intelligence and its application in healthcare area.

Human civilisation faces a range of existential risks, including nuclear war, runaway climate change and superintelligent artificial intelligence run amok. As we show here with calculations for the New Zealand setting, large numbers of currently living and, especially, future people are potentially threatened by existential risks. A just process for resource allocation demands that we consider future generations but also account for solidarity with the present. Here we consider the various ethical and policy issues involved and make a case for further engagement with the New Zealand public to determine societal values towards future lives and their protection.

In the past decade, rapid advancement of new technologies including data technology, virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI), which are all related to language disciplines, brings a new era of data-based language studies, relying on AI to enhance the language ability and VI to create fresh new experience. Practice of language processing in language disciplines by those technologies in turn promotes the emergence of some other revolutionary technologies, for example, the increasingly common data thinking and computational thinking in language research. In this context, it is of great significance to seize the opportunity of big data era, and make full use of AI and other new technologies to substantially promote language-related studies. Thus, an overview of several important language processing technologies and the corresponding rationales, as well as the latest progress is expounded in this paper.

The challenges of including factual information in public policy and political discussions are many. The difficulties of including scientific facts in these debates can often be frustrating for scientists, politicians and policymakers alike. At times it seems that discussions involve different languages or dialects such that it becomes a challenge to even understand one another’s position. Oftentimes difference of opinion leads to laws and regulations that are tilted to the left or the right. The collaborative balancing to insure public and natural resource interests are protected ends up being accomplished through extensive litigation in the courts. In this article, the author discusses the history of environmental balancing during the past three decades from the perspective of a field biologist who has used the strength of our policies, laws and regulations to fight for the protection of our Commonwealth’s aquatic resources. For the past 7 years, the author has taken over the reins of “the most powerful environmental agency in Pennsylvania” and charted a course using science to properly represent natural resource interests in public policy and political deliberations.
