  • Technological advancements create opportunities for improved human welfare but also require careful consideration of ethical implications.

Key Concepts

-- SelfDriving Cars
Vehicles that use technology to navigate and drive without human intervention, expected to improve safety and reduce the need for parking.
-- Humanoid Robots
Robots designed to resemble and imitate human behavior and interaction, exemplified by Sophia, who communicates with humans.
-- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, particularly computer systems, allowing them to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence.
-- Drones
Unmanned aerial vehicles that have applications ranging from military use to commercial deliveries and emergency services.
-- GPS
Global Positioning System, a satellite-based navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions.
