AI systems, at their core, are complex algorithms capable of processing and learning from data at a scale and speed...

But there is much more to the mind and behavior than that; just think of the many branches of psychology. There are sections dedicated to learning about typical human development and the growth and learning processes of youngsters. Other fields look into abnormal psychology to understand its causes and treatments.

The year is 2075. A relatively small percentage of the Earth’s population has survived World War III, which ended in 2035.

Although it’s against the law for robots to hold positions of power in the government and large companies in the Sector, they have managed to do so because of RobotWorld—one of the largest corporations on the planet. RW has created sentient robots that can totally pass for human. Bots appear to be taking over, as humans are ...

Instead of nothingness, he encountered an infinite field of information, a vast and ever-changing ocean where knowledge flowed endlessly—yet he himself was dissolving into it.
