You can take the woman out of the workplace, but you can't take the woman out of the machine she helped create.

Ars Technica Videos shared a short film titled Sunspring directed by Oscar Sharp in collaboration with Ross Goodwin, who built "Benjamin" (previously named "Jetson"), the AI who wrote the screenplay.

Google wants to make sure that if anyone is going to take over the world and subjugate humanity, it's going to be Google the company not Google the inevitable self-chosen name of the sentient AI that will one day destroy us all. That's why they're working on an off switch for artificial intelligence, which is a trickier proposition than it may seem.

A Silicon Valley startup called Unanimous A.I. has built a methodology for gathering poll results based on public opinion, using predictive artificial intelligence to guess the decisions that people will make.

Bill Murray's Baloo is a bear who announces he takes lots of naps in this new The Jungle Book  clip. Same.

Do you enjoy bedtime stories? I hope you do, because the reading of these stories might be the best way to teach robots how to be more human.

We love Sammus around here. That's for real.

Google's cooking up some neat stuff for their next Gmail innovation: Smart Reply, an AI that will analyze incoming e-mails and provide you with three options to reply back with.

If you've ever wanted to talk to Stephen Hawking about the future robot uprising artificial intelligence, here's your chance.

The Bechdel test has helped raise awareness about the dearth of strong, autonomous women in movies, and while the Bechdel test is monumentally important, there is another group often neglected in discussions of social equality: ROBOTS.

Yesterday we showed you the iffy poster, now watch the trailer for Ex Machina starring Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander, and Oscar Isaac. And we were just discussing how certain forms of artificial intelligence make us feel about the direction the world is heading. This movie will not comfort you if you're among the fearful.

If we want to create truly sophisticated artificial intelligence, we're going to have to set the bar a little higher than a test that Cleverbot can pass.

Researchers at the University of Tübingen in Germany have given Mario the ultimate power up: he can learn about his environment and enemies. They gave him rudimentary "feelings," too, but apparently forgot empathy, because he sure is obsessed with how to kill things. So, par for the course for artificial intelligence.

According to Wu Youyou, lead author on a study published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, "the human-computer interactions depicted in science fiction films such as Her seem to be within our reach." Yay?

Did no one see Her? Or Battlestar Galactica? Or like... any piece of fiction where teaching robots to be our friendly BBFs/have any artificial intelligence ever is a horrible idea?

Sure, we nearly constantly warn the Internet about the impending threat of our eventual robot overlords, but who wants to listen to a bunch of bloggers making nervous Terminator jokes? Now there's an open letter signed by actual experts in artificial intelligence that urges everyone to make sure that they build their AI to factor "is this good for humans" into its decisions.

Somebody call Matthew Broderick; there's an unbeatable AI on the Internet that wants to play a game with you. Luckily for the safety of the world, that game is poker.
