Robots can use eye contact to draw out reluctant participants in groups
Researchers published results of experiments in which robots led a Swedish word game with individuals whose proficiency in the Nordic language was varied. They found that by redirecting its gaze to less proficient players, a robot can elicit involvement from even the most reluctant participants.
Learning to help the adaptive immune system
Scientists studied the adaptive immune system as a kind of artificial intelligence that can be trained to produce the correct response to invasion by pathogens. This work may lead to more effective vaccines and immune boosting therapies.
#DeepNostalgia – how animating portraits with AI is both bolstering and undoing historic painted lies
Not everything that was painted can be taken as fact.
The Prospects of AI Facial Scanning In Healthcare
AI is now able to diagnose genetic disorders just by examining an individual’s face.
'Typographic attack': pen and paper fool AI into thinking apple is an iPod
OpenAI’s Clip system fails to correctly decipher images when words are pasted on picture
Algorithm helps artificial intelligence systems dodge 'adversarial' inputs
A deep-learning algorithm developed by researchers is designed to help machines navigate in the real world, where imperfect or 'adversarial' inputs may cause uncertainty.
Fear itself is the real threat to democracy, not tall tales of Chinese AI | John Naughton
Stoking panic about China’s dominance is just another way for western technology giants to avoid scrutiny and gain power
This AI-powered app will tell you if you're beautiful – and reinforce biases, too | Arwa Mahdawi
Biased algorithms influence what faces we’re shown on social media, and entrench our opinions about what is attractive
'I don't want to upset people': Tom Cruise deepfake creator speaks out
Visual effects artist Christopher Ume reveals he made TikTok fakes with help from Cruise impersonator
Beauty is in the brain: AI reads brain data, generates personally attractive images
Researchers have succeeded in making an AI understand our subjective notions of what makes faces attractive. The device demonstrated this knowledge by its ability to create new portraits on its own that were tailored to be found personally attractive to individuals.
The (robotic) doctor will see you now
A large majority of patients interacting with a health care provider via a video screen mounted on a robot said it was similar to an in-person interaction with a health care worker.
Helping soft robots turn rigid on demand
Researchers have simulated a soft-bodied robot that turns rigid on demand. The advance may help broaden robots' range of tasks and allow for safe interactions with people, including in patient care settings.
Dogs Are Teaching Machines to Sniff Out Cancer
In a proof-of-concept study, researchers used dogs' diagnoses of prostate cancer to inform a machine learning algorithm with the goal of one day detecting cancers with canine-level accuracy.
To ban or not to ban? America debates developing AI weapons
The rise of dangerous military AI is ever growing and a government-appointed panel in the United States has said in a draft report to Congress that it is America’s “moral imperative” to keep pursuing the development of AI-powered weaponry. This artic
