Researchers develop real-time lyric generation technology to inspire song writing
Music artists can find inspiration and new creative directions for their song writing with technology developed by Waterloo researchers.
Tiny 'maniac' robots could deliver drugs directly to central nervous system
Would you let a tiny MANiAC travel around your nervous system to treat you with drugs? You may be inclined to say no, but in the future, "magnetically aligned nanorods in alginate capsules" (MANiACs) may be part of an advanced arsenal of drug delivery technologies at doctors' disposal.
A dog’s inner life: what a robot pet taught me about consciousness
The long read: The creators of the Aibo robot dog say it has ‘real emotions and instinct’. This may seem over the top, but is it? In today’s AI universe, all the eternal questions have become engineering problems
Artificial Intelligence may diagnose dementia in a day
The system being tested should spot the disease long before symptoms or obvious brain signs develop.

Student researcher urges natural language processing research focus on signed languages
Advancements in natural language processing (NLP) enable computers to understand what humans say and help people communicate through tools like machine translation, voice-controlled assistants and chatbots.
Exact symbolic artificial intelligence for faster, better assessment of AI fairness
The justice system, banks, and private companies use algorithms to make decisions that have profound impacts on people's lives. Unfortunately, those algorithms are sometimes biased—disproportionately impacting people of color as well as individuals in lower income classes when they apply for loans or jobs, or even when courts decide what bail should be set while a person awaits trial.
AI researchers trust international, scientific organizations most, study finds
Researchers working in the areas of machine learning and artificial intelligence trust international and scientific organizations the most to shape the development and use of AI in the public interest.
Robots are coming for the lawyers – which may be bad for tomorrow's attorneys but great for anyone in need of cheap legal assistance
Lawyers were thought to be mostly immune from the coming AI revolution, but two legal experts explain why jobs that rely on human ingenuity can still be affected.
A framework for robot path finding in unstructured environments
In recent years, computer scientists have developed mobile robots that could be introduced in a variety of settings. To efficiently navigate unstructured environments, however, these robots should be able to plan safe paths to reach their desired destinations.
Coursera to reduce service fees based on new tiered cost structure
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Colorado Boulder are among the first schools to take part in the new structure.
Bad weather data could help autonomous vehicles see

How to think outside the box: The awful burden of legacy tech
It's become a cliché: "Think outside the box!" Okay. But how? Pro tip: thinking isn't the hard part. Here's what I've learned about "the box."
The factory of the future speaks our language
The complexity of large industrial production plants is hardly manageable for a single person. In order to maintain, monitor and service an industrial production line, it therefore makes sense to rely on artificial intelligence (AI).
