In recent years, machine learning (and as a result artificial intelligence) has experienced considerable progress. As a result, robots in different shapes and with different purposes have found their ways into our everyday life. These robots, which have been developed with the goal of human companionship, are here to help us in our everyday and routine life. These robots are different to the previous family of robots that were used in factories and static environments. These new robots are social robots that need to be able to adapt to our environment by themselves and to learn from their own experiences. In this paper, we contribute to the creation of robots with a high degree of autonomy, which is a must for social robots. We try to create an algorithm capable of autonomous exploration in and adaptation to unknown environments and implement it in a simulated robot. We go further than a simulation and implement our algorithm in a real robot, in which our sensor fusion method is able to overcome real-world noise and perform robust exploration.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the form of different machine learning models is applied to Big Data as a way to turn data into valuable knowledge. The rhetoric is that ensuing predictions work well—with a high degree of autonomy and automation. We argue that we need to analyze the process of applying machine learning in depth and highlight at what point human knowledge production takes place in seemingly autonomous work. This article reintroduces classification theory as an important framework for understanding such seemingly invisible knowledge production in the machine learning development and design processes. We suggest a framework for studying such classification closely tied to different steps in the work process and exemplify the framework on two experiments with machine learning applied to Facebook data from one of our labs. By doing so we demonstrate ways in which classification and potential discrimination take place in even seemingly unsupervised and autonomous models. Moving away from concepts of non-supervision and autonomy enable us to understand the underlying classificatory dispositifs in the work process and that this form of analysis constitutes a first step towards governance of artificial intelligence.

A program for Artificial Intelligence (AI) is knowledge as intelligent agent, which typically interacts with the ecosystem. This agent is capable of identifying the status of the ecosystem using the sensors before affecting the state via the actuators. We call the smart systems "agents” whenever they are able to make some decisions on their own with respect on particular goals. On the other hand, Machine Learning (ML) signifies a specific strategy meant to design smart systems whereby these systems can adapt to specific behaviors with respect to data. In the modern age, humans are rapidly collaborating with ML and AI systems. The AI that is human-based is a perspective of ML and AI, which algorithms have to be established with the awareness that they are a major segment of the massive system incorporating human. In this paper, we have presented a research that means that AI systems understand humans with respect to their socio-cultural aspects and that AI system assist humans comprehend them. We also present an argument of the challenges of social responsibility e.g. transparency, interpretability, accountability and fairness.

Abstract Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have always been among the most popular topics in science fiction (sci-fi) movies. This paper endeavors to review popular movies containing Fictional Robots (FR) to extract the most common characteristics and interesting design ideas of robots portrayed in science fiction. To this end, 134 sci-fi films, including 108 unique FRs, were investigated regarding the robots’ different design aspects (e.g., appearance design, interactive design and artificial intelligence, and ethical and social design). Also, in each section of this paper, some characteristics of FRs are compared with real social robots. Since some researches point to the significant role of the cinema in forming the community’s expectations, it is very important to consider these characteristics and differences in choosing the future pathway of robotics. As some examples of findings, we have found that unlike the non-metallic skins/covers of real social robots, most FRs are still covered by highly detailed metal components. Moreover, the FR ability of interactions are generally (more than 90%) shown to be similar or even more advanced than normal Human–Human interactions, and this milestone was achieved by ignoring the AI challenges of real HRI. On the other hand, the ethical aspects of movies do inspire us to consider the potential ethical aspects of real robot design. All in all, according to popularity of movies, studying FR could be a step toward more appropriate development of robotics and AI entities to be accepted by general users in the real world. Highlights: We reviewed 134 sci-fi movies containing 108 unique fictional robots regarding different design aspects. Fictional Robot (FR) is an artificial entity acting as a result of a fictional technology and playing a role in a movie. Investigating fictional robots can shed light on the development of real robotics and AI entities.

Cybersecurity systems are required at the application, network, host, and data levels. The research is purposed to evaluate Artificial Intelligence paradigms for use in network detection and prevention systems. This is purposed to develop a Cybersecurity system that uses artificial intelligence paradigms and can handle a high degree of complexity. The Pragmatism paradigm is elaborately associated with the Mixed Method Research (MMR), and is the research philosophy used in this research. Pragmatism recognizes the full rationale of the congruence between knowledge and action. The Pragmatic paradigm advocates a relational epistemology, a non-singular reality ontology, a mixed methods methodology, and a value-laden axiology. A qualitative approach where Focus Group discussions were held was used. The Artificial Intelligence paradigms evaluated include machine learning methods, autonomous robotic vehicle, artificial neural networks, and fuzzy logic. A discussion was held on the performance of Support Vector Machines, Artificial Neural Network, K-Nearest Neighbour, Naive-Bayes and Decision Tree Algorithms.

The current decade has witnessed the remarkable developments in the field of artificial intelligence, and the revolution of deep learning has transformed the whole artificial intelligence industry. Eventually, deep learning techniques have become essential components of any model in today’s computational world. Nevertheless, ensemble learning techniques promise a high degree of automation with generalized rule extraction for both text and sentiment classification tasks. This paper aims designed and implemented optimized feature matrix using ensemble learning used for sentiment classification and its applications.

Machine learning is an emerging field of artificial intelligence which can be applied to the agriculture sector. It refers to the automated detection of meaningful patterns in a given data.  Modern agriculture seeks ways to conserve water, use nutrients and energy more efficiently, and adapt to climate change.  Machine learning in agriculture allows for more accurate disease diagnosis and crop disease prediction. This paper briefly introduces what machine learning can do in the agriculture sector.
