Vaccine attitudes detected in tweets by AI model
People's attitudes towards vaccines can now be detected from their social media posts by an intelligent AI model, developed by researchers at the University of Warwick.
Researchers trained an AI model to 'think' like a baby, and it suddenly excelled
In a world rife with opposing views, let's draw attention to something we can all agree on: If I show you my pen, and then hide it behind my back, my pen still exists—even though you can't see it anymore. We can all agree it still exists, and probably has the same shape and color it did before it went behind my back.
Robots Aren’t Done Reshaping Warehouses
The pace of automation has accelerated in the pandemic, as big players invest billions in their efforts to streamline how goods are sorted and shipped.
Mastercard’s chief data officer: AI success is based on ethics, diversity and innovation
Mastercard's JoAnn Stonier discusses "lopsided" AI tools, driven by datasets that are incomplete, inaccurate or riddled with bias.
Smart Textiles Accurately Sense How Their Users Are Moving
MIT researchers develop a comfortable, form-fitting fabric that accurately recognizes its wearer’s activities, like walking, running, and jumping. Using a novel fabrication process, scientists at MIT have produced smart textiles that snugly conform t
Researchers trained an AI model to 'think' like a baby, and it suddenly excelled
Infants approach the physical world with some ‘principled expectations’ about how it works. What happens when an AI system is programmed this way?
First wireless earbuds that clear up calls using deep learning
As meetings shifted online during the COVID-19 lockdown, many people found that chattering roommates, garbage trucks and other loud sounds disrupted important conversations.
AI researchers tackle longstanding 'data heterogeneity' problem for federated learning
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new approach to federated learning that allows them to develop accurate artificial intelligence (AI) models more quickly and accurately. The work focuses on a longstanding problem in federated learning that occurs when there is significant heterogeneity in the various datasets being used to train the AI.
A new approach to enhance multi-fingered robot hand manipulation
In recent years, roboticists have developed increasingly advanced robotic systems, many of which have artificial hands or robot hands with multiple fingers. To complete everyday tasks in both homes and public settings, robots should be able to use their "hands" to efficiently grasp and manipulate objects.
Why Musk May Be Stuck
Twitter is in a good position to sue under a legal doctrine called specific performance, which allows courts to force a transaction to be completed, even if one of the parties wants out.

Meet the startups using AI to help doctors fight burnout
A new wave of health care startups is using artificial intelligence to reduce the load on medical professionals.
From ‘Barbies scissoring’ to ‘contorted emotion’: the artists using AI
Four creators share their Dall-E-generated images – and their hopes and fears about AI in art
Video game players show enhanced brain activity, decision-making skill study
Frequent players of video games show superior sensorimotor decision-making skills and enhanced activity in key regions of the brain as compared to non-players, according to a recent study.
AI as a 'wise counsel' for synthetic biology
Machine learning is transforming all areas of biological science and industry, but is typically limited to a few users and scenarios. A team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology led by Tobias Erb has developed METIS, a modular software system for optimizing biological systems.
Tracking crypto pump-and-dump operations on social media
The practice is unethical, yet not illegal per the SEC. Cryptocurrency scammers have found a way to make a quick profit through social media platforms like Twitter and Telegram, using the pump and dump method. In short: they buy coins when the price is low, team up to create the buzz and get the price of this coin to rise, then sell theirs for a profit.
What robots can learn from therapists
A transformative experience working with very sick children changed Paul Bucci's mind about how robots used in human therapy should be designed.
Meta’s NLLB-200 AI model improves translation quality by 44%
Meta has unveiled a new AI model called NLLB-200 that can translate 200 languages and improves quality by an average of 44 percent.
