Can machines truly think? 🤔 Dive into the debate with "Philosophy and AI: Artificial Intelligence and its Discontents "

The Historical Context of the philosophical debate relating to the issue of whether Artificial Intelligence is anything more than a hypothetical metaphor awaiting more exact characterisation dates back to the 1940's and 50's. The central figure who initiated this discussion was, of course Alan Turing, the mathematical genius who worked with English military intelligence on the Enigma Project. The invention of ACE(The automatic computing engine) and its role in solving a problem that had defeated the best minds in England was the initiating event of the claim that machines of this kind were in a sense "intelligent". Intelligence, of course, is a psychological term with a contested psychological definition as was evidenced by the discussions that followed Piaget's theories and the attempts to construct tools to measure this elusive capacity. This work argues that it is to Philosophy we must turn if we are to clarify a problem that was challenging theoreticians of the scientific and psychological community.

🌟"Quarante ans de dialogue:Evolution des Relations politico-diplomatiques sino-françaises (1964-2007)" by Qibin Hou

Comme premier grand pays occidental qui reconnaît la Chine en 1964, les rapports privilégiés avec Beijng sont devenus l’un des trois grands axes de la politique asiatique de la France. Et du côté chinois, les dirigeants chinois sont aussi attentifs à cette relation bilatérale. Puisque le contexte international ne cesse pas d'évoluer durant les quatre dernières décennies, les relations sino-françaises se développent aussi. Face à cette période, plusieurs questions concernées sont posées : Pourquoi les deux gouvernements décident d’établir les relations officielles en 1964 ? Quels sont les changements de cette relation bilatérale durant les dernières quarantaines d’années ? Quelles sont les raisons de ces changements ? Commet le contexte international et les politiques extérieures des deux pays ont influencé cette relation ? Etc. L'auteur fait cette recherche afin d’illustrer comment les relations sino-françaises se développent depuis 1964, sous les influences internes et externes : l’alternance du gouvernement, réformes politiques et économiques, géopolitiques régionales et le contexte international.

Embark on a journey of diplomatic history with "Quarante ans de dialogue" and gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between two global powers.

🐆 Calling all wildlife conservationists and leopard enthusiasts!

Human wildlife conflicts has been under the lens for a long time. Human response to the conflict situations vary. On one hand, Indians are known to be surprisingly tolerant; but in other cases, people retaliate against wildlife which drives these species to extinction. Conflicts is one of the threats to long term survival of 75 per cent of the world’s most iconic species like wild cats. The Indian leopard is reclusive by nature. However, in recent times the animal is seen venturing into human habitation because of dwindling prey base, habitat loss and poaching.
The aim is to study the cause, patterns and factors influencing the Human – Wildlife (leopard) Conflict at Valparai, India and to use Spatial Temporal approaches to suggest altered corridors using correlated Walk Analysis to reduce human - leopard interactions. The altered corridor is a suggestion to minimise and limit the movement of animals and humans based on road network and frequency of human population & settlements. The distance based estimated path of HWC is a hotspot where officials must concentrate on alertness and protection measures.
