UK court rules police use of facial recognition was ‘unlawful’
In a landmark decision, judges said South Wales Police's uses of facial recognition breached human rights and data protection laws.
Begin transmission: 300-watts of wireless power for robots
Wireless charging is a step toward a fully "lights out" factory, and the FCC seems to be onboard.
NSW Department of Customer Service streamlines procure-to-pay with e-invoicing
The state government has also launched an online tool to make it easier to access liquor licence information and given the NSW court websites various upgrades.
Baby-mounted cameras teach AI to ‘see’ through a child’s eyes
An AI has learned to recognise objects using video captured by a head-mounted camera worn by young children for a few hours per week over their first 3 years of life
AI mimics the way doctors think to make better medical diagnoses
Most medical AI systems make treatment recommendations based on correlations between symptoms and illnesses – a new AI system uses causation instead, like doctors do
Classifying galaxies with artificial intelligence
Astronomers have applied artificial intelligence (AI) to ultra-wide field-of-view images of the distant Universe captured by the Subaru Telescope, and have achieved a very high accuracy for finding and classifying spiral galaxies in those images. This technique, in combination with citizen science, is expected to yield further discoveries in the future.
Development of a simple prediction model for adrenal crisis diagnosis
The part that artificial intelligence plays in climate change has come under scrutiny, including from tech workers themselves who joined the global climate strike last year. Much can be done by developing tools to quantify the carbon cost of machine learning models and by switching to a sustainable artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Neurotrophic factors and target-specific retrograde signaling interactions define the specificity of classical and neuropeptide cotransmitter release at identified Lymnaea synapses
Deep learning approaches can show excellent performance but still have limited practical use if they learn to predict based on confounding factors in a dataset, for instance text labels in the corner of images. By using an explanatory interactive learning approach, with a human expert in the loop during training, it becomes possible to avoid predictions based on confounding factors.
Overexpression of miR-669m inhibits erythroblast differentiation
OpenAI released a beta version of its language model, GPT-3. As artificial writing permeates our lives, the challenge is how to think clearly about what it is and what impact it could have on society.
A beginner’s guide to AI: The difference between video game AI and real AI
Welcome to TNW’s beginner’s guide to AI. This multi-part feature should provide you with a very basic understanding of what AI is, what it can do, and how it works. The guide contains articles on (in order published) neural networks, computer vision, natural language processing, algorithms, and artificial general intelligence.
University of Michigan study advocates ban of facial recognition in schools
A new study from researchers at the University of Michigan advocates for a ban on facial recognition technologies in schools.
Exploring the interactions between sound, action and vision in robotics
In recent years, researchers have developed a growing amount of computational techniques to enable human-like capabilities in robots. Most techniques developed so far, however, merely focus on artificially reproducing the senses of vision and touch, disregarding other senses, such as auditory perception.
Researchers use AI to determine which face masks work best for COVID-19
A technique developed at Duke University measures which face masks best protect against COVID-19 by counting the droplets they emit during speech.
