From New York Times bestselling author Robert Venditti comes the second book in the Miles Taylor and the Golden Cape series, about an eighth grader who finds himself unexpectedly thrust into the role of real-life superhero. His latest mission: to defeat an army of robots designed to destroy him! Master the golden cape. Been there. Save the world from an alien invasion. Done that. Dominate the eighth grade. Keep dreaming. Battle an army of super-deadly robots designed to destroy you. Sure didn’t see that one coming. After a summer of fighting crime as Gilded, the world’s only superhero, Miles Taylor is bummed to learn that nothing has changed for him at Chapman Middle School. He is still the primary target of the Jammer’s bullying. And Josie, the girl of his dreams, has put him squarely in the friend zone. Miles starts spending more and more time as Gilded, neglecting his schoolwork and his friends. His bad attitude lands him and his best friend, Henry, in a military compound, at the mercy of the power-crazed General Breckenridge. When the general steals the golden cape, Miles finds himself back at square one with no superpowers…and no hope of escape. On the verge of losing everything—and everyone—he cares about, Miles must discover the hero within himself before the general puts his evil plans into action.

Intelligent algorithms are already well on their way to making white collar jobs obsolete: travel agents, data-analysts, and paralegals are currently in the firing line. In the near future, doctors, taxi-drivers and ironically even computer programmers are poised to be replaced by ‘robots’. Without a radical reassessment of our economic and political structures, we risk the very implosion of the capitalist economy itself. In The Rise of the Robots, technology expert Martin Ford systematically outlines the achievements of artificial intelligence and uses a wealth of economic data to illustrate the terrifying societal implications. From health and education to finance and technology, his warning is stark – all jobs that are on some level routine are likely to eventually be automated, resulting in the death of traditional careers and a hollowed-out middle class. The robots are coming and we have to decide – now – whether the future will bring prosperity or catastrophe.

This monograph examines a growing culture of casualty aversion, and its effects on the need for military robots. It makes a comparison between the growing influence and effectiveness of airpower in World War II, and the current rise of military robot interaction. The theories, capabilities, acceptance, and availability of airpower made it a vital part of Allied victory in World War II. Similarly, the early theories of military robots have come to fruition, their capabilities match current military needs, they have been accepted by the U.S. public and military, and they are cheaper and more available than ever before. Military robots are on the cusp of creating a shift in the way war is fought, the same as airpower shifted warfare in the middle of the twentieth century. These factors, combined with the aforementioned casualty aversion, make military robots the fighting force of the future.The beginning of the twenty-first century has brought a number of changes to the art of operational military planning. The United States Army, in particular, moved from a doctrine focused on defeating a known monolithic enemy to one that espouses more flexibility and adaptability in its forces. Concurrent with this doctrinal evolution are astounding advances in technology that affect both the battlefield and the home front. Military robots are able to perform many of the duties that once took one or more soldiers to do, enabling those soldiers to stay out of harm's way. Increasing communications and media capabilities have put near-real-time battlefield video into the homes of U.S. citizens. This modern technology has democratized access to information about war and its casualties, while at the same time making warfare itself safer for the U.S. soldiers. These two influences of technology have reached a point of synthesis where the technology is capable of and the citizens are adamant about minimizing human casualties. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of casualty aversion in the United States, examine a historical case of technology affecting the battlefield, investigate the current and near-future capabilities of military robots, and determine the timeliness of incorporating robots into operational planning and execution in a casualty averse environment.1.

The New York Times-bestselling guide to how automation is changing the economy, undermining work, and reshaping our lives Winner of Best Business Book of the Year awards from the Financial Times and from Forbes "Lucid, comprehensive, and unafraid . . . ;an indispensable contribution to a long-running argument." -- Los Angeles Times What are the jobs of the future? How many will there be? And who will have them? As technology continues to accelerate and machines begin taking care of themselves, fewer people will be necessary. Artificial intelligence is already well on its way to making "good jobs" obsolete: many paralegals, journalists, office workers, and even computer programmers are poised to be replaced by robots and smart software. As progress continues, blue and white collar jobs alike will evaporate, squeezing working -- and middle-class families ever further. At the same time, households are under assault from exploding costs, especially from the two major industries-education and health care-that, so far, have not been transformed by information technology. The result could well be massive unemployment and inequality as well as the implosion of the consumer economy itself. The past solutions to technological disruption, especially more training and education, aren't going to work. We must decide, now, whether the future will see broad-based prosperity or catastrophic levels of inequality and economic insecurity. Rise of the Robots is essential reading to understand what accelerating technology means for our economic prospects-not to mention those of our children-as well as for society as a whole.

An “intriguing, insightful” look at how algorithms and robots could lead to social unrest—and how to avoid it (The Economist, Books of the Year). After decades of effort, researchers are finally cracking the code on artificial intelligence. Society stands on the cusp of unprecedented change, driven by advances in robotics, machine learning, and perception powering systems that rival or exceed human capabilities. Driverless cars, robotic helpers, and intelligent agents that promote our interests have the potential to usher in a new age of affluence and leisure—but as AI expert and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Jerry Kaplan warns, the transition may be protracted and brutal unless we address the two great scourges of the modern developed world: volatile labor markets and income inequality. In Humans Need Not Apply, he proposes innovative, free-market adjustments to our economic system and social policies to avoid an extended period of social turmoil. His timely and accessible analysis of the promises and perils of AI is a must-read for business leaders and policy makers on both sides of the aisle. “A reminder that AI systems don’t need red laser eyes to be dangerous.”—Times Higher Education Supplement “Kaplan…sidesteps the usual arguments of techno-optimism and dystopia, preferring to go for pragmatic solutions to a shrinking pool of jobs.”—Financial Times

Humanity's quest to find innovative ways to deal with difficult, monotonous and dangerous activities has been an ever evolving and unending endeavor. The current proliferation of robotic technology is just the next step in this evolutionary sequence. Both civilian and military agencies alike are vying for this new round of technology. Most civilian applications of robots are innocuous and generally perform menial tasks. The same cannot be said for the military. Currently there are numerous systems in each branch of the military that have some autonomous lethal engagement ability. As military professionals, we have a duty to ensure the legal framework, proper policy, moral and ethical considerations, as well as proper tactics and doctrine are in place to ensure compliance with the Rule of Engagement (ROE) and the Laws of Armed Conflict (LOAC) before embarking down a path to fully automated autonomous lethal force. This paper will investigate some of the more pressing issues and present recommendations for potential paths forward. To facilitate the discussion, the paper is divided into three major areas: the legal implications, ethical implications and professional implications of use of robots in warfare.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.The giant leaps in technology during the past decade have also led to some very sophisticated robot technology. In fact, the 2013 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Robotics Challenge showcased some of the most advanced robots seen to date. The winning robot, SCHAFT, developed by Japanese company SHAFT Inc., attained an impressive 27 of 32 possible points during the challenge. The challenge consisted of eight distinct tasks: driving a vehicle, maneuvering the robot over rough terrain, going up an industrial ladder, removing debris from a pathway, opening different types of doors, cutting through a wall in a certain pattern, closing different types of valves, and finally, unwinding and connecting a hose to a spigot. While the DARPA robots are intended for peaceful and innocuous purposes, there are other robots being developed for uses that are more threatening.There are many governments and associated defense contractors working on various robots for use in combat situations. Some of these machines have the ability to autonomously target and engage adversaries. Recently, Rear Admiral Matthew L. Klunder, Chief of United States Naval Research, debuted a new swarming boat technology where as many as 20-30 autonomous boats can be designated to surround a single target. The boats can carry a number of different payload options including spotlights, high powers speakers, or even offensive weapons. Of course, the U.S. Navy is not the only service researching autonomous weapon systems. The U.S. Air Force and Army also have active programs. The Air Force developed the MQ-9 Reaper and deployed it successfully to both Iraq and Afghanistan.
