    Liu Feng's team proposes AI 'Robinson Test': can AI survive independently after humans are withdrawn?

    The research team of Dr. Liu Feng, author of "The Rise of Superintelligence," has exploratorily proposed the AI "Robinson Test": after providing necessary supplies, human maintenance and task instructions are withdrawn to observe whether an AI can sustain itself, expand its living space, and whether it holds a cooperative, adversarial, or neutral attitude toward humans. The test is divided into a roughly three-month nurturing period, a roughly one-month handover period, and a one-year hands-off period. Inside a physically isolated local network, batteries, servers, robots with replaceable parts, and operating manuals are left behind, and disturbances such as power outages and hard drive failures are randomly injected. Results are graded from level zero to level four, with behavior toward humans marked separately. The team says this is only a preliminary concept and still needs calibration in pilot trials.

    Tsinghua-led expedition identifies new large high-temperature hydrothermal field in the Western Pacific

    An 18-day joint Western Pacific hydrothermal expedition by Tsinghua University, the Qingdao Institute of Marine Geology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and other institutions conducted seven dives and identified a new large high-temperature active hydrothermal field, preliminarily confirming its potential for large-scale polymetallic sulfide resources, with associated gold content of up to 15.4 ppm and associated silver content of up to 1,271 ppm.

    Study predicts nearly 40% of household chores may be handled by robots in 10 years

    Researchers from the University of Oxford in the UK and Ochanomizu University in Japan interviewed 65 AI experts and predicted that in 10 years about 39% of household chores may be completed by automated programs, with time spent buying daily necessities possibly cut by nearly 60% and house cleaning saving 46% of time. The report also noted that only 28% of caregiving work such as education, accompanying children, and caring for the elderly can be automated, and highly automated households may face privacy issues.

    Brief: Bubble microrobots achieve remote speed modulation; study on timing in human-robot collaborative operation; multiple institutions publish a review of efficient NLP methods, and more

    A team from the Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, published research in Small on magnetically controlled bubble microrobots. By adjusting the orientation of Janus microspheres through a 3D Helmholtz coil magnetic control system, they achieved remote speed modulation, and used microbubble collapse jets to accomplish propulsion, anchoring, and grasping; surface capillary waves can sweep particles in the far field.
