Rob Mellor, WhereScape: On data warehouse automation
Leading analysts and organisations have begun recognising data warehouse automation as being key to running a truly data-driven business.
Machine learning method could speed the search for new battery materials
To discover materials for better batteries, researchers must wade through a vast field of candidates. New research demonstrates a machine learning technique that could more quickly surface ones with the most desirable properties.
Pirate-hunting drone monitors crime on the high seas
What role can UAVs and satellites play in the largest lawless frontier on earth?
Remote-working job surveillance is on the rise. For some, the impact could be devastating
Excessive surveillance is having profoundly negative effects on the workforce.
Engineers teach AI to navigate ocean with minimal energy
Engineers at Caltech, ETH Zurich, and Harvard are developing an artificial intelligence (AI) that will allow autonomous drones to use ocean currents to aid their navigation, rather than fighting their way through them.
Employee satisfaction increases as a result of automation in the workplace
The latest research reveals that automation solutions increase productivity and better manage employee stress levels.
Facebook Says Its New AI Can Identify More Problems Faster
The “Few-Shot Learner” system doesn't need to see as many examples to identify troublesome posts, and works in more than 100 languages.
Machines that see the world more like humans do
Computer vision systems sometimes make inferences about a scene that fly in the face of common sense. For example, if a robot were processing a scene of a dinner table, it might completely ignore a bowl that is visible to any human observer, estimate that a plate is floating above the table, or misperceive a fork to be penetrating a bowl rather than leaning against it.
Researchers using AI to design more sustainable concrete
As a building material, concrete withstands the test of time. Its use dates back to early civilizations, and today it is the most popular composite choice in the world. However, it's not without its faults. Production of its key ingredient, cement, contributes 8-9 percent of the global anthropogenic CO2 emissions and 2–3 percent of energy consumption, which is only projected to increase in the coming years.

How China became an AI superpower ready to take on the United States
A mix of state support and entrepreneurial zeal has transformed China into an innovation powerhouse – just as this former Google exec predicted
AI reads boring terms and conditions documents so you don't have to
The long, dense texts we all agree to when shopping online are incomprehensible to the average person, but now an artificial intelligence can highlight the important bits for you
Australia’s AI cameras catch over 270,000 drivers using their phones
The proportion of drivers in New South Wales illegally using their mobile phones has dropped fivefold since AI cameras began catching offenders
These tiny liquid robots never run out of juice as long as they have food
Scientists at Berkeley Lab and the University of Massachusetts Amherst have demonstrated the first self-powered, aqueous robot that runs continuously without electricity. The technology has potential as an automated chemical synthesis or drug delivery system for pharmaceuticals.
Engineers teach AI to navigate ocean with minimal energy
New AI uses reinforcement learning to efficiently navigate oceans
A system for designing and training intelligent soft robots
Let's say you wanted to build the world's best stair-climbing robot. You'd need to optimize for both the brain and the body, perhaps by giving the bot some high-tech legs and feet, coupled with a powerful algorithm to enable the climb.
