Meta's Zuckerberg: 'AI is perhaps the most important foundational technology of our time'
Zuckerberg said Meta will make "a single model that can understand hundreds of languages" and "a universal speech translator" that would offer instantaneous translation between all languages.
Researchers use artificial intelligence to identify potential unsafe locations in cities
Identifying possible hotspots of crime in a city is an important issue for urban safety development and can help the authorities take necessary steps to make the city safer for its residents. The effectiveness of such preventive measures depends on the accuracy of the predictions, which are increasingly being made by artificial intelligence (AI)-based models.
Risks of using AI to grow our food are substantial and must not be ignored, warn researchers
Imagine a field of wheat that extends to the horizon, being grown for flour that will be made into bread to feed cities' worth of people. Imagine that all authority for tilling, planting, fertilizing, monitoring and harvesting this field has been delegated to artificial intelligence: algorithms that control drip-irrigation systems, self-driving tractors and combine harvesters, clever enough to respond to the weather and the exact needs of the crop.
nRoad launches new platform for enterprises to leverage unstructured data
nRoad, a Boston-based AI startup that abstracts and incorporates unstructured data into vital business functions, has today launched a new platform known as Convus — aimed at helping enterprises tackle the challenges of unstructured data.
Artificial emotional intelligence could change senior users' perceptions of social robots
Socially assistive robots (SARS) are a class of robotic systems specifically designed to help vulnerable or older users to complete everyday activities. In addition to increasing their independence, these robots could stimulate users mentally and offer basic emotional support.
This new dataset shows that AI still lacks commonsense reasoning
In a new study, researchers attempt to measure the extent to which AI systems can abductively reason like humans.
Reducing cloud waste by optimizing Kubernetes with machine learning
Applications are proliferating, cloud complexity is exploding, and Kubernetes is prevailing as the foundation for application deployment in the cloud. That sounds like an optimization task ripe for machine learning, and StormForge is acting up on that.
