A long-term battle: The tech industry's role in combatting climate change
At a time when it has become a crucial part of staying in business.
Foreign investment framework tweaks could hinder Australia's quantum future
ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems and quantum firm Q-CTRL say the Bill's changes could potentially cut off the industry at its knees by implementing an 'expensive and time-consuming review process' on low-risk early-stage companies.
AI camera can tell what surfaces feel like with just a glance
Artificially intelligent cameras are able to tell the physical properties of surfaces, such as texture or how well it conducts heat, based on a single image – but they can't tell whether something is sticky
New theory predicts movement of different animals using sensing to search
A research team has developed a new theory that can predict the movement of an animal's sensory organs -- such as eyes, ears and nose -- while searching for something vital to its life.
Engineers pre-train AI computers to make them even more powerful
Engineers have developed a new machine-learning method that paves the way for artificial intelligence to be used in applications that until now have been deemed too sensitive. The method, which has been tested by running simulations on a climate-control system for a 100-room building, is poised to deliver energy savings of around 20%.
Engineers use machine learning to speed bioscaffold development
A dose of artificial intelligence can speed the development of 3-D-printed bioscaffolds that help injuries heal, according to researchers at Rice University.
A computer predicts your thoughts, creating images based on them
Researchers at the University of Helsinki have developed a technique in which a computer models visual perception by monitoring human brain signals. In a way, it is as if the computer tries to imagine what a human is thinking about. As a result of this imagining, the computer is able to produce entirely new information, such as fictional images that were never before seen.
Healthcare, minerals, energy, food: how adopting new tech could drive Australia's economic recovery
Digitising healthcare and exporting more sustainable protein alternatives are just some ideas that could help Australia's economy return to form.
AI devs created a lean, mean, GPT-3-beating machine that uses 99.9% fewer parameters
AI researchers from the Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) of Munich have developed a bite-sized text generator capable of besting OpenAI‘s state of the art GPT-3 using only a tiny fraction of its parameters. GPT-3 is a monster of an AI system capabl
Plug n’ Play in Brain Prothesis
A recent breakthrough in brain-controlled prosthetics could give paralysed individuals the ability to regulate computer cursors and potentially limbs in the future.
Google returns to using human YouTube moderators after AI errors
Google is returning to using humans for YouTube moderation after repeated errors with its AI system.
Brain Corp: Revolutionising Robotic Cleaning
Brain Corp are at the forefront of robotics, using AI to automate previously laborious processes like cleaning and heavy lifting. Hear from Michel Spruijt about where the future lies for Brain Corp and for the AI Industry as a whole, in his interview with AI Daily.
This Computer Predicts Your Thoughts, Creating Images Based on Your Brain Signals
By monitoring brain function, computers can be made imagine what a person is thinking of and present the results as images. The technique can be utilized in psychology and cognitive neuroscience, as well as supporting human creativity. Researchers at
An algorithm for problem solving in cars and the human brain
Imagine having a car accident in a parking lot, your car has some small damage and you have to get it fixed. What if your car could tell you which parts are broken and how much it will cost to fix it? During his Ph.D. at BMW, Milan Koch designed the Automated Damage Assessment service, a customer service that does just this.
Creating cross-domain kill webs in real time
Two DARPA-developed technologies—a novel decision aid for mission commanders and a rapid software integration tool—played a critical role in the recent Air Force demonstration of the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS).
