An AI Finds Superbug-Killing Potential in Human Proteins
A team scoured the human proteome for antimicrobial molecules and found thousands, plus a surprise about how animals evolved to fight infections.
What's the secret to making sure AI doesn't steal your job? Work with it, not against it
The best AI chess computer outperforms the best human chess players. Yet the most supreme chess play on Earth comes from a human, helped by AI.
AWS Braket improves support for hybrid quantum-classical algorithms
Developers no longer need extensive infrastructure and software management to run hybrid quantum-classical algorithms in AWS with Braket Hybrid Jobs.
MI6 will need to be ‘more open to stay secret’, spy chief to say
Richard Moore expected to admit agency cannot develop tools in house to counter emerging technological threats
Who Is Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s New C.E.O.?
A longtime Twitter insider and a confidant of co-founder Jack Dorsey, Mr. Agrawal takes over as the social media company confronts various challenges.
Artificial intelligence that understands object relationships
When humans look at a scene, they see objects and the relationships between them. On top of your desk, there might be a laptop that is sitting to the left of a phone, which is in front of a computer monitor.
'Transformational' approach to machine learning could accelerate search for new disease treatments
Researchers have developed a new approach to machine learning that 'learns how to learn' and out-performs current machine learning methods for drug design, which in turn could accelerate the search for new disease treatments.
Working of algorithms used in government decision-making to be revealed
Cabinet Office announces new standard for tools that influence exam results, housing benefit allocations and pothole repairs
New discovery opens the way for brain-like computers
Research has long strived to develop computers to work as energy efficiently as our brains. A study, led by researchers at the University of Gothenburg, has succeeded for the first time in combining a memory function with a calculation function in the same component.
Machine-learning model could enable robots to understand interactions in the way humans do
When humans look at a scene, they see objects and the relationships between them. On top of your desk, there might be a laptop that is sitting to the left of a phone, which is in front of a computer monitor.
A new model that automatically generates movie trailers
Trailers, short video clips that introduce new movies, are often crucial elements in the promotional strategies employed by film production companies. To be most effective, trailers should briefly summarize a movie's plot, conveying its artistic style and overall mood in appealing ways.
Development of an artificial vision device capable of mimicking human optical illusions
Japan's National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) has developed an ionic artificial vision device capable of increasing the edge contrast between the darker and lighter areas of an mage in a manner similar to that of human vision. This first-ever synthetic mimicry of human optical illusions was achieved using ionic migration and interaction within solids.
New Chest Imaging Database Assists AI in the COVID-19 Fight
Published today in the Open-Access, Open-Data journal GigaScience is the National COVID-19 Chest Imaging Database (NCCID), a centralized database containing chest X-rays, Computed Tomography (CT) and MRI scans from patients across the UK. Utilizing t
Researchers propose AI-based approach to contactless machine failure detection
The world's largest manufacturers lose 1 trillion dollars per year to machine failure. Many problems lie in the noisy factory environment—working equipment and processes produce high sound, consequently, machinery faults are often unheard or for that reason detected too late.
Artificial intelligence may not actually be the solution for stopping the spread of fake news
Disinformation has been used in warfare and military strategy over time. But it is undeniably being intensified by the use of smart technologies and social media. This is because these communication technologies provide a relatively low-cost, low-barrier way to disseminate information basically anywhere.
Otonomo: The future runs on mobility data
The future is bright for Otonomo -- which recently raised $255 million in its IPO and acquired AI startup Neura as part of a bold growth strategy.
Artificial Intelligence That Understands Object Relationships – Enabling Machines To Learn More Like Humans Do
A new machine-learning model could enable robots to understand interactions in the world in the way humans do. When humans look at a scene, they see objects and the relationships between them. On top of your desk, there might be a laptop that is sitt
The big idea: Should we worry about artificial intelligence?
Could AI turn on us, or is natural stupidity a greater threat to humanity?
