Artificial neuron device could shrink energy use and size of neural network hardware
Neural network training could one day require less computing power and hardware, thanks to a new nanodevice that can run neural network computations using 100 to 1000 times less energy and area than existing CMOS-based hardware.
Nanotech scientists create world's smallest origami bird
Researchers have created micron-sized shape memory actuators that enable atomically thin two-dimensional materials to fold themselves into 3D configurations. All they require is a quick jolt of voltage. And once the material is bent, it holds its shape - even after the voltage is removed.
Artificial intelligence and algorithmic irresponsibility: the devil in the machine?
While AI is intended to help us, it tempts us to abandon judgment and moral responsibility. And without a proper understanding of how it works, we cannot circumvent its negative effects.
Researchers enhance quantum machine learning algorithms
Researchers found a way to automatically infer parameters used in an important quantum Boltzmann machine algorithm for machine learning applications.
Shape-shifting robots in the wild: the DyRET robot can rearrange its body to walk in new environments
This robot can learn how to traverse unforeseen terrain by changing the length of its legs.
Google’s AI advertising revolution: More privacy, but problems remain
Google is using artificial intelligence to collect and process user data in a way that produces more nuanced and detailed information about our activities but addresses privacy concerns.
Job-hunting is stressful and humiliating enough. Now robots judge our resumes | Jessa Crispin
Algorithms decide which applications reach human managers’ eyes. But they sort out people with unusual work histories or who lack college degrees
Engineers combine AI and wearable cameras in self-walking robotic exoskeletons
Robotics researchers are developing exoskeletons and prosthetic legs capable of thinking and moving on their own using sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
UK still using racially biased passport tool despite available update
The UK government has failed to deploy an updated version of a face analysis algorithm used for checking passport pictures, despite knowing it works poorly for people with very light and very dark skin
Google might ask questions about AI ethics, but it doesn't want answers | John Naughton
The departure of two members of the tech firm’s ethical artificial intelligence team exposes the conflict at the heart of its business model
AI and you: how confusion about the technology that runs our world threatens democracy
It would be naïve to think that the rise of science and technology hasn’t made it more difficult to understand the problems we face as citizens
AI reveals 1,000 'dark discharges' of untreated sewage in England
Paper says machine learning could prove crucial tool in efforts to improve quality of country’s rivers
Move over, Deep Nostalgia, this AI app can make Kim Jong-un sing I Will Survive
Wombo AI can animate any face to sing songs in a way that is unbelievable enough to help the fight against deepfakes, say some experts
How do you make a convincing deepfake video? – podcast
Alex Hern finds out about the latest in deepfakes, and hears from the man behind the recent AI-generated Tom Cruise TikTok videos
How to make all headphones intelligent
How do you turn 'dumb' headphones into smart ones? Engineers have invented a cheap and easy way by transforming headphones into sensors that can be plugged into smartphones, identify their users, monitor their heart rates and perform other services. Their invention, called HeadFi, is based on a small plug-in headphone adapter that turns a regular headphone into a sensing device.
Robots learn faster with quantum technology
Artificial intelligence is part of our modern life. A crucial question for practical applications is how fast such intelligent machines can learn. An experiment has answered this question, showing that quantum technology enables a speed-up in the learning process.
