Digital prepping: How to survive in a world dominated by AI
Isaac Asimoc, a writer well-known for his works of science fiction, penned the “Three Laws of Robotics” in 1972. Asimov wrote these “laws” while thinking about androids, and he imagined a world where human-like robots would have human masters and need a set of programming rules to prevent them from causing harm. But 51 years after […]

A whole new kind of lie detector: Robots in the court room are able to tell when someone is lying
We often rely on lie detectors or polygraphs, but these devices are not always 100 percent accurate. There are other means to determine if an individual is lying, such as by observing micro-movements, or movements that we subconsciously make while lying. These can include anything from a raised eyebrow to tilting our heads. Now, a group […]
