AI Digest: 7/31/09. 10 Worst Evolutionary Designs.

Wired: “10 Worst Evolutionary Designs.” Example: human stomach. “People can digest a lot — except for cellulose, the primary component of plant matter. Why don’t we have commensal bacteria in our guts to do it? They’re busy helping termites.”

Fast Company: “Autonomy Without Intelligence.” “Competition requires speed. Wisdom requires patience. In a hyper-computerized world, which one wins?”

Crunchgear: “Meet An9-PR, the cutest multi-purpose robot out there.” “It features a simple electric bulletin board that’s wrapped around its head and a total of three LCD screens built into its body (one 19-incher is on the front and there are two 12-inchers on the back). People can view ads, information on buildings and other information on these (touch) screens. Needless to say, the battery-powered and four-wheeled An9-PR is also equipped with Wi-Fi and a camera that helps him identify humans with a face recognition function. This means the robot can also be used for simple security purposes.”
