Thanks to technological development, we have learned to live with machines that surpass us in physical strength and calculation power.
We already live in another reality. Any concept of ethics has to go through this new scenario: our relationship with intelligent machines. The appearance of advanced artificial intelligence calls into question the intellectual superiority of humans, our essence, our place in life. This extraordinary book proposes a reflection on an ethic for those new intelligent machines that will surpass us. They will make decisions for us, they will govern us. Our responsibility now is to leave you a good legacy: the human.
Thanks to technological development, we have learned to live with machines that surpass us in physical strength and calculation power. However, the appearance of artificial intelligence is a new challenge, an ethic for new times. Many people prefer not to think about this uncertain future. When their universe changes, they will try to adapt. Neither now nor later will they try to understand what is happening. It is a pity. Understanding is perhaps the greatest challenge a human can experience.

ADMIRA Project: Activities with Medipix Detectors to Research Radiation in the Classroom
The ADMIRA Project (Activities with Medipix Detectors to Investigate Radiation in the classroom) aims to create a network of schools around the use of Timepix Detectors designed at CERN. The objective is to bring the Institutes closer to the research done in Universities and Research Centers. A group of schools that have participated in a selection process will use these devices in their classrooms. Teacher training activities will be open to any institute teacher who is interested (with the aim of expanding the network in future editions).
On this website you can consult the objectives of the ADMIRA project, the ways of participating and the activities offered for teachers and students. You can also find the didactic orientations, skills and key contents that are intended to work.
Projecte
Simulations of Quantum Mechanics
Simulations of Quantum Mechanics starts as a collaborative project involving undergraduate students, professors and researchers. It is based on the development of computer programs, created by students under the supervision of professors, which allow introducing basic concepts of quantum mechanics and the physics of ultracold gases to the students of baccalaureate and degree. The programs carried out aim to be rigorous from the scientific point of view, solving the relevant equations in a precise manner, combined with a graphical interface that allows users to interact with them in a pleasant way.
OBJECTIVES:
Encourage cooperation among seniors of degree
Bring seniors in the research that takes place in our department
Produce a useful tool for the dissemination of science at the high school level
