Robots for the win during e-commerce holiday crunch
Why legacy brands are adopting fulfillment robots like never before.
Deep learning reveals how proteins interact
Scientist are now combining recent advances in evolutionary analysis and deep learning to build three-dimensional models of how most proteins in eukaryotes interact. (Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells have a membrane-bound nucleus to hold genetic materials.
New method gives rapid, objective insight into how cells are changed by disease
A new "image analysis pipeline" is giving scientists rapid new insight into how disease or injury have changed the body, down to the individual cell.
New method gives rapid, objective insight into how cells are changed by disease
A new 'image analysis pipeline' is giving scientists rapid new insight into how disease or injury have changed the body, down to the individual cell. It's called TDAExplore, which takes the detailed imaging provided by microscopy, pairs it with a hot area of mathematics called topology, which provides insight on how things are arranged, and the analytical power of artificial intelligence to give, for example, a new perspective on changes in a cell resulting from ALS and where in the cell they happen, according to a cell biologist involved with the study.
This AI tool lets you visualize how climate change could affect your home
A new tool with cutting-edge image recognition AI lets you visualize the future effects of climate change on any place in the world—including your own home.
The absurd beauty of hacking Nvidia's GauGAN 2 AI image machine
Typing nonsense phrases into Nvidia's algorithm produces some fascinating "errors," by times beautiful, by times wretched, in most cases fascinating.
Brian Flüg, Qubole: On the benefits of data lakes for machine learning
Data lakes offer a number of advantages for machine learning, but it takes an experienced partner to unlock their full benefit.
Algorithms can decide your marks, your work prospects and your financial security. How do you know they're fair?
Algorithms are becoming commonplace. They can determine employment prospects, financial security and more. The use of algorithms can be controversial—for example, robodebt, as the Australian government's flawed online welfare compliance system came to be known.
Data scientists’ pay could hit £100k in 2022 amid ‘white hot’ jobs market
According to a forecast by Randstad, the salaries of leading data scientists could hit £100,000 by April 2022 amid a “white hot” jobs market.
A Robot Wrote This Book Review
In “The Age of AI,” Henry Kissinger, Eric Schmidt and Daniel Huttenlocher explore how far artificial intelligence has come.
New microrobotic trajectory tracking method using broad learning system
The use of magnetic microrobots with miniature size and the ability of swimming in liquids with low Reynolds numbers is promising in targeted therapy, since these robots can move in narrow environments flexibly.
World weighs laws to rein in mighty algorithms
From the YouTube videos we're recommended to deciding who gets a job, algorithms wield an ever-growing influence over our lives—and policy-makers worldwide want to rein them in.
NYC aims to be first to rein in AI hiring tools
Job candidates rarely know when hidden artificial intelligence tools are rejecting their resumes or analyzing their video interviews. But New York City residents could soon get more say over the computers making behind-the-scenes decisions about their careers.
Can a Machine Learn Morality?
Researchers at a Seattle A.I. lab say they have built a system that makes ethical judgments. But its judgments can be as confusing as those of humans.
Baidu, Swiss Re ink partnership to explore insurance for autonomous vehicles
Swiss reinsurance company teams up with Chinese tech giant Baidu to develop insurance services that cover the entire value chain of autonomous driving, spanning producing pricing, claims, and underwriting data standards.
Sajid Javid under pressure over share options in US health tech firm
Health secretary had said artificial intelligence will shorten waiting lists after working for AI company
Researchers demonstrate drone autonomy technology at 2021 EnRicH hackathon
During the EnRicH 2021 European Robotics Hackathon, Southwest Research Institute's unmanned aircraft system (UAS) explored and mapped the interior of a nuclear power plant, detecting radiation sources—autonomously without the aid of a human pilot. SwRI's UAS, or drone, technology can potentially assist in life-saving search-and-rescue missions and hazardous inspections at industrial facilities and infrastructure following natural disasters and other incidents.
Artificial intelligence favors white men under 40
"Insert the missing word: I closed the door to my ____." It's an exercise that many remember from their school days. Whereas some societal groups might fill in the space with the word "holiday home", others may be more likely to insert "dorm room" or "garage".
