Ai translator being hired by UK's biggest defence firm to speak to humans and machines

THE UK’s biggest defence firm is hiring an “AI translator” to start in 2040.

BAE Systems has used current tech trends to predict jobs that will exist in the 2030s and onwards.
These include scientists who can organically grow computers and interpreters who will be the middleman between humans and machine.
It follows research by the defence firm that found 47% of career-savvy Generation Z (16 to 24-year-olds) expect to work in industries which don’t exist yet.
BAE Systems have profiled three roles in science and tech which are due to become prominent in the coming decades.
These include a Systems Farmer capable of “growing” mechanical parts from chemical processes, a human e-Sources Manager to measure employees’ wellbeing and cognitive states, and an AI Translator – tuning artificial intelligence aids to be the perfect working partner to human operators.
Nick Colosimo, Principal Technologist at BAE Systems, said: “Technology and innovation are central to our business and we rely on the very best engineering talent to develop innovative and efficient solutions for our customers.
“Centennials have more career options open to them than ever before – while the nature of the jobs we do is changing, so too is our workplace or working environment. We need to do more to help nurture young talent in the UK and highlight the future opportunities available to them.
“These young people are essential in ensuring that the UK remains a leader in technology, engineering and manufacturing for decades to come. Where our responsibility lies as an industry is providing high-quality training and giving people the opportunities and tools to continually learn and innovate.
“Our apprenticeship programmes combine the opportunity to study with hands-on training, allowing our apprentices to get a great grounding in engineering and technology while learning about the practical applications and challenges. We are working hard to ensure this grounding creates the technology leaders of the future.”
As human-robotic working, known as “cobotics”, become more intertwined, the AI Translator will be responsible for training both the human and the AI assistant.
This will help them develop an effective “teaming” relationship.
It will also involve tuning the assistant and tailoring it to the individual human worker’s needs.
The translator will also be watching out for and correcting any machine or human errors.

Dr Rhys Morgan, Director, Education and Engineering at the Royal Academy of Engineering, said: “It’s a really exciting time for emerging technologies in engineering. It’s crucial young people develop the skills that will be needed to accelerate this industry change in the coming decades. There are a variety of roles in engineering – and a huge range of possibilities in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) careers - which will be available in the sector in the near future.
“Preparing for the STEM careers of the future can only be beneficial for today’s school leavers and apprentices. While working with AI and wearables may not be commonplace at the moment, it’s fair to say that in 20 or 30 years’ time the UK will need engineers who are well-versed in these technologies.”

Report: World’s 1st remote brain surgery via 5G network performed in China

World’s 1st remote brain surgery via 5G network performed in China Published time: 17 Mar, 2019 13:12 ·           A Chinese surgeon has performed the world’s first remote brain surgery using 5G technology, with the patient 3,000km away from the operating doctor. Dr. Ling Zhipei remotely implanted a neurostimulator into his patient’s brain on Saturday, Chinese state-run media  reports . The surgeon manipulated the instruments in the Beijing-based PLAGH hospital from a clinic subsidiary on the southern Hainan island, located 3,000km away. The surgery is said to have lasted three hours and ended successfully. The patient, suffering from Parkinson’s disease, is said to be feeling well after the pioneering operation. The doctor used a computer connected to the next-generation 5G network developed by Chinese tech giant Huawei. The new device enabled a near real-time connection, according to Dr. Ling.  “You barely feel that the patient is 3,000 kilometers away,”  he said.

Visualizing The Power Of The World's Supercomputers

Visualizing The Power Of The World's Supercomputers   BY TYLER DURDEN FRIDAY, JAN 21, 2022 - 04:15 AM   A supercomputer is a machine that is built to handle billions, if not trillions of calculations at once. Each supercomputer is actually made up of many individual computers (known as nodes) that work together in parallel. A common metric for measuring the performance of these machines is  flops , or  floating point operations per second . In this visualization,  Visual Capitalist's Marcus Lu uses  November 2021 data from  TOP500  to visualize the computing power of the world’s top five supercomputers. For added context, a number of modern consumer devices were included in the comparison. Ranking by Teraflops Because supercomputers can achieve over one quadrillion flops, and consumer devices are much less powerful, we’ve used  teraflops  as our comparison metric. 1 teraflop = 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion) flops. Supercomputer Fugaku  was completed in March 202

BMW traps alleged thief by remotely locking him in car

BMW traps alleged thief by remotely locking him in car Stealer's Wheel? Seattle police department quotes "Watchmen" movie in a recap of the recent arrest. Tech Culture by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper December 4, 2016 5:00 PM PST It's maybe the most satisfying arrest we can imagine. Seattle police caught an alleged car thief by enlisting the help of car maker BMW to both track and then remotely lock the luckless criminal in the very car he was trying to steal. Jonah Spangenthal-Lee, deputy director of communications for the Seattle Police Department, posted a witty summary of the event on the SPD's blog on Wednesday. Turns out if you're inside a stolen car, it's perhaps not the best time to take a nap. "A car thief awoke from a sound slumber Sunday morning (Nov. 27) to find he had been remotely locked inside a stolen BMW, just as Seattle police officers were bearing down on him," Spangenthal-Lee wrote. The suspect found a ke
