How to Build a Self-Conscious AI Machine
Long, but well written article on the development and future of self-aware machines.

We're building a dystopia just to make people click on ads
Inspiring and terrifying TED talk by Zeynep Tufekci about the crisis of building AI to maximize profit from advertising.
It May Not Feel Like Anything to Be an Alien
Humans may have one thing that advanced aliens don’t: consciousness. Super intelligence may only be ethical without consciousness and may not need it.
AI Anxiety
Big-name scientists worry that runaway artificial intelligence could pose a threat to humanity. Beyond the speculation is a simple question: Are we fully in control of our technology?
Research Priorities for Robust and Beneficial Artificial Intelligence
How to maximize the benefits of AI while avoiding potential pitfalls. This article gives numerous examples of such worthwhile research aimed at ensuring that AI remains robust and beneficial.

AI masters Atari games
Using a bio-inspired system architecture, Deep Mind scientists have created a single algorithm (Deep Q-network: “deep convolutional network”) that is actually able to develop problem-solving skills and is able to understand spatial relationships between different objects in an image, such as distance from one another, in such a sophisticated way that it can actually re-envision the scene from a different viewpoint. This type of system was inspired by early work done on the visual cortex. And then they immediately put it to use learning a set of classic Atari video games.
Facebook AI Director Yann LeCun on His Quest to Unleash Deep Learning and Make Machines Smarter
Q&A with one of the people behind deep learning. Good details about machine learning.
The Next Technology Revolution Will Drive Abundance And Income Disparity
Machine learning impact on the economy will be increased productivity and abundance, but far less human labour and judgement. We may need a system focused on more than just efficient production that places greater prioritization on the less desirable side effects of capitalism.
