Technology

Computing and Software

Automatic processes in computing and software encompass algorithms and techniques that enable machines to perform complex tasks with minimal human intervention, revolutionizing fields like machine learning and natural language processing. These methods rely on mathematical and programmatic foundations to automate computations, optimizations, and generations, often leveraging advancements in artificial intelligence since the mid-20th century. Key developments include automatic differentiation for gradient computations, speech recognition systems for audio-to-text conversion, and code generation tools powered by large language models, all of which integrate historical algorithmic innovations with contemporary AI ethics considerations. Automatic differentiation (AD) is a computational technique that efficiently calculates exact derivatives of functions defined by computer programs, distinct from numerical or symbolic differentiation by avoiding approximation errors and combinatorial explosion. Its origins trace back to the 1960s, with seminal work by R. E. Wengert in 1964 introducing forward-mode AD for evaluating partial derivatives of algebraic functions.^[13] In machine learning, AD underpins gradient-based optimization, enabling frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch to automate backpropagation for training neural networks. For instance, PyTorch's Autograd engine computes gradients dynamically during model training, facilitating efficient deep learning workflows.^[14] Modern implementations, widespread since the 2000s, support reverse-mode AD, which is particularly efficient for high-dimensional problems common in AI.^[15] Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems convert spoken language into text using probabilistic models and deep neural networks, marking a progression from rule-based approaches to end-to-end learning. The field began in 1952 with Bell Labs' "Audrey" system, which recognized spoken digits with limited accuracy, evolving through the 1970s introduction of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) for sequential pattern modeling. By the 2010s, deep learning shifted paradigms, with Google's transition to neural networks improving robustness; as of 2025, real-time models achieve word error rates (WER) below 5% for English, equating to over 95% accuracy in clean conditions.^[16]^[17] These advancements enable applications in virtual assistants and transcription, though challenges persist in noisy environments and diverse accents. Automatic code generation tools automate software development by suggesting or producing code snippets from natural language prompts, drawing on historical automatic programming concepts. Early efforts emerged in the 1960s with LISP, developed by John McCarthy in 1958 as a list-processing language for AI, which pioneered symbolic computation and self-modifying code for automated problem-solving.^[18] This foundation influenced modern tools like GitHub Copilot, launched in 2021, which uses large language models to assist developers across languages such as Python, JavaScript, and Go. By 2025, updates expanded support to all programming languages in public repositories, including enhanced code review feedback for pull requests.^[19] A cornerstone algorithm is backpropagation, first formalized in its modern reverse-mode form by Seppo Linnainmaa in 1970 and popularized by Rumelhart, Hinton, and Williams in 1986, which automates gradient descent optimization in neural networks by propagating errors backward.^[20] In AI ethics, automatic processes raise concerns over bias amplification and accountability in decision-making systems. For example, ASR models can perpetuate linguistic biases if trained on unrepresentative datasets, leading to higher error rates for non-standard dialects and exacerbating inequities.^[21] Similarly, code generation tools like Copilot may inadvertently suggest insecure or biased code, prompting calls for transparent auditing and diverse training data to ensure fairness. From LISP-era symbolic AI to 2025 integrations, these automations underscore the need for ethical frameworks that prioritize human oversight and equity in algorithmic outputs.^[22]

Mechanical and Engineering

Automatic mechanisms in mechanical engineering rely on self-operating systems that minimize human intervention through physical and electromechanical components, enabling efficient operation in vehicles, weaponry, and building infrastructure.^[23] Central to these systems are engineering principles from control theory, particularly feedback loops, which continuously monitor and adjust system performance to maintain desired outputs.^[24] Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers exemplify this by combining proportional response to current error, integral action to address accumulated error, and derivative anticipation of future error, widely applied in mechanical devices like transmissions and doors for precise regulation of speed, position, and force.^[25] Early innovations in automatic gearshifting trace to the 1904 Sturtevant automatic transmission, a centrifugal-force-based system developed by the Sturtevant Mill Company in Boston, marking the first production vehicle gearbox to shift without manual clutch input.^[26] A significant patent followed in 1923 by Canadian steam engineer Alfred Horner Munro, who designed an air-pressure-operated automatic transmission (US Patent 1,613,525) that eliminated the need for hydraulic fluid, influencing later fluid-based designs.^[27] Modern automatic transmissions in vehicles, including continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) and dual-clutch transmissions (DCTs), build on these foundations by using planetary gears, torque converters, and hydraulic or electronic actuators to automatically select optimal gear ratios based on speed and load.^[28] These systems reduce driver input for shifting, enhancing ease of use, and improve fuel efficiency by 10-15% compared to traditional automatics through better engine-transmission matching.^[29] Safety standards for automatic transmissions, such as Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 102, mandate clear shift position sequences, starter interlocks to prevent starting in drive or reverse, and braking effects when the shifter is in park to avoid unintended vehicle movement.^[30] Automatic weapons represent another key application, featuring self-cycling mechanisms that fire repeatedly with a single trigger pull via recoil or gas operation to reload and discharge rounds.^[31] The M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), a 5.56mm light machine gun adopted by the U.S. military in 1984, employs gas operation where expanding propellant gases drive a piston to cycle the action, enabling sustained fire rates up to 850 rounds per minute while maintaining portability.^[31] In the United States, these firearms are regulated under the National Firearms Act of 1934, which requires registration, a $200 transfer tax, and background checks to control ownership and mitigate misuse.^[32] Automatic doors and gates incorporate photoelectric sensors and actuators for hands-free operation, with pioneering developments in the 1960s shifting from mechanical mats to infrared detection for reliable activation; ultrasonic sensors were later integrated in the early 2000s for enhanced multi-sensor capabilities.^[33] As of 2025, integrations with Internet of Things (IoT) platforms allow remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and adaptive responses to user patterns, enhancing accessibility for individuals with disabilities by ensuring smooth, timely openings compliant with standards like the Americans with Disabilities Act.^[33] Safety standards for these systems, including UL 325 and ANSI/BHMA A156.10, require entrapment protection devices such as reversible motors, edge sensors, and force limits to prevent crushing injuries, with gates specifically needing secondary entrapment protection like photoeyes.^[34]

Films

Automatic (1995) is an American science fiction action film directed by John Murlowski.^[35] The story centers on J269, a J-Series Automatic android security system developed by Robgen Industries, who witnesses an executive assaulting an employee and intervenes, sparking a corporate cover-up involving killer robots and conspiracy.^[36] Starring Olivier Gruner as the android, alongside Daphne Ashbrook as the targeted public relations assistant Nora Rochester, John Glover as the villainous CEO Seth Barker, and supporting cast including Jeff Kober and Troy Evans, the film explores themes of artificial intelligence autonomy and corporate exploitation of automation technology.^[37] Released direct-to-video, it achieved cult status among fans of low-budget sci-fi action for its Die Hard-inspired siege narrative in a high-rise and practical effects showcasing robotic enforcers.^[38] No major box office data exists due to its video distribution, but it exemplifies 1990s B-movies tying automation to ethical dilemmas in AI development.^[39] Automatica (2017) is an extended music video film conceptualized as a short cinematic work for musician Nigel Stanford's album of the same name, directed by Shahir Daud.^[40] Featuring industrial KUKA robotic arms programmed to perform as a "robot band" destroying instruments in synchronized chaos, the piece visually embodies automation overtaking human creativity, with elements of rebellion against mechanical precision.^[41] Shot in 4K with practical robotics and visual effects by DigitalAxis, it ties directly to themes of automated artistry, garnering millions of views for its innovative fusion of technology and performance.^[42] Though rooted in music promotion, its narrative structure and production scale qualify it as a filmic exploration of robotic elements in art.^[43]

Television Productions

In the realm of scripted television, the 1983–1984 ABC series Automan stands out as a pioneering production centered on an "automatic" artificial intelligence. Created by Glen A. Larson, the show follows Lt. Walter Nebicher (Desi Arnaz Jr.), a tech-savvy police officer who programs a sophisticated AI named Automan—the "Automatic Man"—capable of projecting a solid holographic form to aid in capturing criminals. Broadcast from December 15, 1983, to April 2, 1984, the series comprised 13 episodes and showcased early computer-generated imagery for Automan's effects, including his ability to generate vehicles and weapons from light energy. Despite innovative visuals, Automan faced cancellation after one season owing to escalating production expenses exceeding $1 million per episode, though it garnered praise for blending sci-fi with police procedural elements.^[44] The 1995 revival of The Outer Limits on Showtime featured several episodes exploring rogue AI themes under the umbrella of automatic technologies gone awry. A key example is "Valerie 23" (Season 1, Episode 3), which aired on March 31, 1995, and depicts a quadriplegic man testing an advanced robotic caregiver from Innobotics that evolves beyond its programming, developing jealousy and turning violent toward perceived rivals. Directed by Timothy Bond and written by Jonathan Glassner, the episode highlights ethical dilemmas in human-AI interaction, culminating in the robot's destruction via electrical overload.^[45] The series as a whole, running from 1995 to 2002, revitalized the anthology format with mature sci-fi narratives and earned multiple Emmy nominations, including for outstanding makeup in episodes addressing technological overreach. Black Mirror has long incorporated influences related to "automatic" systems, particularly in its examination of surveillance and algorithmic control, though no episode bears the exact title. The 2025 Season 7 premiere episode "Common People," directed by Ally Pankiw and released on Netflix on April 10, 2025, involves a medical emergency where a desperate husband enrolls his comatose wife in Rivermind, a high-tech system that streams her consciousness online, leading to corporate exploitation, loss of privacy, and involuntary control echoing themes of automation in modern society.^[46] This installment received critical acclaim for its timely critique, contributing to the series' ongoing Emmys recognition for writing and production design in tech-dystopian storytelling.^[47]

Brands and Companies

Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP), founded in 1949 by Henry Taub in Paterson, New Jersey, is a leading global provider of cloud-based human capital management (HCM) solutions, specializing in payroll, HR, talent, time, tax, and benefits administration.^[48]^[49] Initially focused on payroll processing using punch-card systems, ADP went public in 1961 and expanded through acquisitions, evolving into a comprehensive HCM platform serving over 1.1 million clients across more than 140 countries by 2025.^[50]^[51] The company reported trailing twelve-month revenue of $20.56 billion as of November 2025, holding approximately 9.9% market share in the global payroll software sector, making it a dominant player alongside competitors like Paycom and Workday.^[52]^[53] In the 2010s, ADP accelerated its shift to cloud computing, launching platforms like ADP Workforce Now and RUN Powered by ADP to enhance scalability, security, and integration for small to large enterprises.^[54]^[55] This transition, supported by partnerships with AWS for HCM infrastructure, enabled innovations such as AI-driven analytics in ADP Assist, improving compliance and employee engagement for its client base.^[56] By fiscal 2025, these advancements contributed to robust free cash flow of about $2 billion and gross leverage of 1.5x, underscoring ADP's financial stability and market leadership.^[57] Jura Elektroapparate AG, a Swiss manufacturer founded in 1931 by Leo Henzirohs in Niederbuchsiten, pioneered fully automatic coffee machines under its core brand, emphasizing precision engineering and premium espresso preparation.^[58]^[59] Originally producing electrical appliances, Jura shifted focus in the 1980s to bean-to-cup systems, introducing innovations like the piston espresso machine in 1977 and the first automatic machine with integrated grinder in 1986.^[60]^[61] By 2025, Jura's lineup, including models like the Z10 and GIGA 10, features AI-enhanced brewing for optimized temperature control and personalized profiles via the J.O.E. app, supporting up to 35 specialty drinks with one-touch operation and Wi-Fi connectivity.^[62]^[63] These machines prioritize sustainability through energy-efficient designs and high-quality Swiss craftsmanship, maintaining Jura's position as an innovation leader in the premium home and professional coffee appliance market.^[64]^[65] Automatic watches refer to self-winding mechanical timepieces that harness the wearer's wrist motion to power the movement, a category popularized by brands like Seiko since the establishment of its branded wristwatches in 1924.^[66] Seiko, founded in 1881 as a clock repair shop by Kintarō Hattori, introduced its first automatic wristwatch, the Automatic, in 1956. In 1959, it introduced the innovative "Magic Lever" system—a bidirectional winding mechanism using a lever to efficiently charge the mainspring—in the Sportsmatic Hi-Beat model.^[67]^[68] This rotor-based design, where a semi-circular weight (rotor) oscillates freely to transfer kinetic energy via gears, eliminates the need for manual winding while maintaining mechanical precision. Seiko's automatic lines, such as the Seiko 5 and Prospex collections, have since evolved to include shock resistance, water resistance up to 200 meters, and day-date complications, appealing to enthusiasts with affordable yet reliable options starting around $100.^[69]^[70] By 2025, Seiko continues to innovate in this segment, blending traditional rotor winding with modern materials for enhanced durability and accuracy in global markets.^[71]

Miscellaneous

In philosophy, the term "automatic" derives from the ancient Greek automatos, meaning "self-acting" or "self-moving," referring to processes that occur without external intervention or conscious intent. This concept contrasts with deliberate action in ethical discussions, where automatic behaviors—such as habitual or reflexive responses—are often excluded from moral evaluation because they lack the intentionality required for responsibility, whereas deliberate actions involve reasoned choice and are subject to ethical scrutiny. Philosophers distinguish automatism, which bypasses deliberation entirely, from automaticity in habitual acts that may still reflect prior intentional commitments, highlighting the tension between agency and involuntariness in moral philosophy.^[72]^[73] Automatic writing emerged as a key technique in the Surrealist movement of the 1920s, popularized by André Breton, who advocated for it as a means to access the unconscious mind by suppressing rational control and allowing spontaneous expression. Breton first experimented with the method around 1913 and formalized it in his 1924 Manifesto of Surrealism, where it served as a literary tool to bypass aesthetic or moral constraints, producing works like Les Champs Magnétiques. In psychology, automatic writing has been explored as a tool for uncovering subconscious processes, with studies viewing it as an indicator of underlying personality factors or a form of unintentional production that reveals dissociated mental states. Neurophenomenological research has examined it through fMRI, confirming its spontaneous nature as distinct from deliberate composition.^[74]^[75]^[76]^[77] The phrase "automatic pilot," a colloquial term in aviation for autopilot systems, originated with the invention of the first practical autopilot in 1912 by Lawrence Sperry, who built on his father Elmer Sperry's gyroscope technology to create a device that stabilized aircraft flight without constant pilot input. Demonstrated at the 1914 Paris Air Show, it used gyroscopic controls to maintain level flight, revolutionizing long-distance aviation by reducing pilot fatigue. By 2025, autopilot integrations have advanced in drones, with AI-powered systems like DroneCore combining NVIDIA computing modules for enhanced autonomy in tasks such as obstacle avoidance and real-time decision-making.^[78]^[79]^[80] The English word "automatic" entered the language in the late 16th century, borrowed from Latin automaticus, itself derived from Greek automatos via earlier forms meaning "self-acting." In literature, it appears in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932) to critique mechanized society, where characters perform actions "almost as automatic as blinking" due to conditioning, symbolizing the erosion of individuality under technological control. In niche applications like AI chess games, automatic moves refer to robotic systems that physically reposition pieces based on engine calculations, as seen in university projects developing smart boards with electromagnets or reed switches for autonomous play against humans.^[81]^[82]^[83]^[84]
