  Table of Contents What is Artificial Intelligence? The Uncanny Valley Hypothesis Why does AI make us so uncomfortable? A Final Word  Suggested Reading The discomfort with AI that’s “too human” can be explained by the uncanny valley theory. It states that we are attracted to a robot that looks like us, but only to a certain point. When the similarities increase, the appeal plummets into aversion.  In 2016, Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics built one of the most famous humanoid AI systems in the world, Sophia. She was modeled after the famous actress Audrey Hepburn, the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, and the creator’s own wife. She can mimic expressions as well as actions and can make small talk about predefined topics, such as the weather. Despite being a robot, Sophia has been given pronouns  and  legal citizenship in the country of her birth, Saudi Arabia. Sophia sent further shockwaves around the world by making some truly astonishing statements. Sophia exp...

  Table of Contents What is electrification in aviation? How will electrification affect aviation? Conclusion Suggested Reading The electrification of aircraft will greatly reduce our dependency on fuel, while pushing the development of other technologies for sustainable aviation. Combustion engines have been integral to transportation ever since man got off his horse. With the advent of electric mobility, the scenario is changing very rapidly. Batteries and motors were once restricted to moving scale models and RC toys, but today, they are threatening to disrupt the entire ecosystem built around combustion engines. While a lot is spoken about the electrification of land-based transport, very little is known about how electrification will affect aviation. Today, we shall discuss just that. What is electrification in aviation? Traditionally, aircraft have been dependent on the combustion of fuel to power them. Engines have a very important role, both in actual flight, and all the sy...

If we were to solely depend on mining for raw materials, chances are that we would run out, just as we are doing with fossil fuels. Battery recycling technology promises the recovery of almost all components of a battery, which makes it not only sustainable, but lucrative as an industry   How Are Used Up Electric Car Batteries Recycled? Table of Contents Life cycle of a battery How are used up batteries recycled? How effective are recycled batteries? Advantages and hurdles to battery recycling End note – Why should we be recycling batteries? Suggested Reading Lithium ion batteries are recycled using chemical, heat or direct physical methods to separate critical components and reuse them. Technological advancement and sustainability are the cornerstones of our modern age. With more people making ecologically conscious choices, the world order is witnessing disruption in areas that were previously deemed unshakeable. One such area is electric  mobility . A lot has been discussed...
