American Airlines have a special way of dealing with angry customers
At a time when many airline customers are deeply unhappy, there is, apparently, clever help at hand. Technological help.
Killer Robots Aren’t Science Fiction. A Push to Ban Them is Growing.
A U.N. conference made little headway this week on limiting development and use of killer robots, prompting stepped-up calls to outlaw such weapons with a new treaty.

AI points the way to better doctor-patient communication
A computer analysis of hundreds of thousands of secure email messages between doctors and patients found that most doctors use language that is too complex for their patients to understand. The study also uncovered strategies some doctors use to overcome communication barriers.
Voice technology for the rest of the world
Voice-enabled technologies like Siri have gone from a novelty to a routine way to interact with technology in the past decade. In the coming years, our devices will only get chattier as the market for voice-enabled apps, technologies and services continues to expand.
Protecting the safety of citizens with Visual AI
The Korean research team at the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) announced that it has applied the technology of Visual AI 'DeepView' to Daejeon Metropolitan City in earnest to prevent safety accidents in the city and promptly respond to them.
With artificial intelligence, common sense is uncommon
Common sense isn't common, especially when it comes to artificial intelligence. Computers struggle to make fine distinctions that people take for granted. This is why websites require you authenticate your humanity before logging in or making a purchase: Most bots can't tell the difference between a crosswalk and a zebra.
Artificial intelligence magnifies the utility of electron microscopes
With resolution 1,000 times greater than a light microscope, electron microscopes are exceptionally good at imaging materials and detailing their properties. But like all technologies, they have some limitations.
AI argues for and against itself in Oxford Union debate
The artificial intelligence was given access to the whole of Wikipedia and news articles in preparation.
US Energy Department tests new smart grid chip from Nvidia, Utilidata
The Department of Energy is aiming to use the chip to scale and commercialize its power flow optimization technology, allowing for more resources like electric vehicles and solar panels to connect to smart grid operations.
Mind-controlled robots now one step closer
Tetraplegic patients are prisoners of their own bodies, unable to speak or perform the slightest movement. Researchers have been working for years to develop systems that can help these patients carry out some tasks on their own. "People with a spinal cord injury often experience permanent neurological deficits and severe motor disabilities that prevent them from performing even the simplest tasks, such as grasping an object," says Prof.
Why deep-learning methods confidently recognize images that are nonsense
For all that neural networks can accomplish, we still don't really understand how they operate. Sure, we can program them to learn, but making sense of a machine's decision-making process remains much like a fancy puzzle with a dizzying, complex pattern where plenty of integral pieces have yet to be fitted.
OctoML announces the latest release of its platform, exemplifies growth in MLOps
OctoML is announcing the latest release of its platform to automate deployment of production-ready models across the broadest array of clouds, hardware devices and machine learning acceleration engines
New model improves accuracy of machine learning in COVID-19 diagnosis while preserving privacy
Researchers in the UK and China have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can diagnose COVID-19 as well as a panel of professional radiologists, while preserving the privacy of patient data.
Oxford Union invites an AI to debate the ethics of its own existence
The Oxford Union, the debating society of the University of Oxford, invited an artificial intelligence to debate the ethics surrounding its own existence earlier in December. The results? Troubling.
Scared about the threat of AI? It’s the big tech giants that need reining in | Devdatt Dubhashi and Shalom Lappin
The case for regulating social media companies is clear, says academics Devdatt Dubhashi and Shalom Lappin
Why Computers Don’t Need to Match Human Intelligence
With continuing advances in machine learning, it makes less and less sense to compare AI to the human mind.
Robots use fear to fight invasive fish
The invasive mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) chews off the tails of freshwater fishes and tadpoles, leaving the native animals to perish while dining on other fishes' and amphibians' eggs. Researchers engineered a robot to scare mosquitofish away, revealing how fear alters its behavior, physiology, fertility -- and may help turn the tide against invasive species.
