Natural language processing and vision tasks have recently seen large improvements through the rise of Transformer architectures. The high-performing large language models (LLMs) benefit from large textual datasets that are numerously available online. However, action and bidirectional action-language tasks are less developed, as these require more specific and labeled data. Therefore, we aim at enabling these robotic action capabilities for a pretrained LLM, while maintaining high efficiency with regards to the required training time and data size. To achieve this, we split up a Transformer-based LLM and insert a multimodal architecture into it. Specifically, we split a pretrained T5 LLM between its encoder and decoder parts, to insert a crossmodal Transformer component of a Paired Transformed Autoencoders (PTAE) bidirectional action-language model. The experiments are conducted on a new dataset, consisting of unimodal language translation and crossmodal bidirectional action-language translation. The natural language capabilities of the original T5 are re-established efficiently by training the crossmodal Transformer, which requires only one 5.7 millionth of the T5 model's original training data. Furthermore, the new model, called CrossT5, achieves high accuracy for the vision-and language-guided robotic action tasks. By design, the CrossT5 agent acts robustly when tested with language commands not included in the dataset. The results demonstrate that this novel approach is successful in combining the advanced linguistic capabilities of LLMs with the low-level robotic control skills of vision-action models.

El estudio lleva a cabo una aproximación a la ética de la inteligencia artificial. En primer término, se hace una recopilación de la proclamación de la misma y de su necesidad en los diferentes documentos de referencia internacional, aunque el análisis se centra especialmente en los múltiples focos de atención en la Unión Europea. Es precisamente en la UE donde se apuesta por una ética confiable de la IA en el diseño y made in Europe, para posicionarse frente a Estados Unidos y especialmente China, que no conceden importancia a la cuestión. Primero, se describe el contenido de la ética de la IA y sus principios esenciales a partir de la dignidad y los derechos; segundo, se exponen los cinco principios básicos destilados de las declaraciones internacionales (beneficencia y no maleficencia, justicia, libertad y autonomía o acción humana frente a la autonomía artificial y explicabilidad y transparencia). Tercero, se recogen otros principios básicos y que derivan de exigencias de empatí...

The European Union presents in facts such an advanced stage of integration that it has gone beyond the same predictions of the European political class. Hence the absolute necessity of a democratic reinterpretation of the functioning of its institutions in general and of the European Parliament in particular. Hopefully the process of political integration will be an unstoppable process and although the European Union does not exercise any sovereignty over any territory, it essentially presents itself as an entity whose operative power exceeds the same territorial power of the Member States that compose it. The European Union, in its original configuration which makes it completely free from any territorial control, requires, however, a democratic foundation and democratic legitimacy which contemplates a Parliamentary Assembly from which normative acts originate and which exercise an effective political control over the executive body. The increase in democratic legitimacy as well as the efficiency and transparency of the European institutions in carrying out their functions, however, implies a rethinking of a large part of the European institutions and not only of the European Parliament. Only in this way the European Union can enjoy that legitimacy and widespread social acceptance which is the essential condition of the integration process for its very survival. The contribution aims to highlight the democratic deficit afflicting the European Union and the need to overcome it in order to achieve a greater and better political integration between the Member States.
