Replicators, lineages, and interactors
The target article argues that whole groups can act as interactors in an evolutionary process. We believe that Smaldino's discussion would be advanced by a more thorough analysis of the appropriate replicators and lineages for...

Ensemble-averaged QM/MM kinetic isotope effects for the S<sub>N</sub>2 reaction of cyanide anions with chloroethane in DMSO solution
The existence of solvent fluctuations leads to populations of reactant-state (RS) and transition-state (TS) configurations and implies that property calculations must include appropriate averaging over distributions of values...
Constantly connected - The effects of smart-devices on mental health
A number of studies have demonstrated the mental health implications of excessive Internet-browsing, gaming, texting, emailing, social networking, and phone calling. However, no study to date has investigated the impact of being...

Magnetic resonance and the structure of magnesium acceptors in gallium nitride
J.J. Davies
Jun 15, 2013
In recent years there have been several theoretical and experimental investigations concerned with the detailed structure of the acceptor states in Mg-doped GaN. Thus, the shallow effective-mass-like acceptor has been attributed...
Flexible latching
Controlling cognitive systems like domestic robots or intelligent assistive environments requires striking an appropriate balance between responsiveness and persistence. Basic goal arbitration is an essential element of low...
The meaning of the EPSRC principles of robotics
Joanna J Bryson
Apr 17, 2017
In revisiting the Principles of Robotics — as we do in this special issue — it is important to carefully consider their full meaning. The meaning of communication depends both on the context in which that communication is...
A role for action selection in consciousness
We investigate a small footprint cognitive architecture comprised of two reactive planner instances. The first interacts with the world via sensor and behaviour interfaces. The second monitors the first, and dynamically adjusts...

Standardizing Ethical Design for Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems
AI is here now, available to anyone with access to digital technology and the Internet. But its consequences for our social order aren't well understood. How can we guide the way technology impacts society?

Semantics derived automatically from language corpora contain human-like biases
Machine learning is a means to derive artificial intelligence by discovering patterns in existing data. Here, we show that applying machine learning to ordinary human language results in human-like semantic biases. We replicated...

Introduction to the special issue on machine morality
One of the enduring concerns of moral philosophy is deciding who or what is deserving of ethical consideration. This special issue of Philosophy and Technology investigates whether and to what extent machines, of various designs...

<em>Homo homini lupus</em>? Explaining antisocial punishment
Punishing group members who parasitize their own group’s resources is an almost universal human behavior, as evidenced by multiple cross-cultural and theoretical studies. Recently, researchers in social and behavioral sciences...
On the reliability of unreliable information
When individuals learn from what others tell them, the information is subject to transmission error that does not arise in learning from direct experience. Yet evidence shows that humans consistently prefer this apparently more...
Designing and implementing transparency for real time inspection of autonomous robots
The EPSRC's Principles of Robotics advises the implementation of transparency in robotic systems, however research related to AI transparency is in its infancy. This paper introduces the reader of the importance of having...
The role for simulations in theory construction for the social sciences
Religion is, at the very least, a highly complex social phenomenon. The theories we use to understand religion – and sociocultural systems more generally – are often so complex that even experts in the field may not be able to...
