Artificial Brains Need Sleep Too – Desperate AI Researchers Discover Way to Stabilize Neuromorphic Processors
States that resemble sleep-like cycles in simulated neural networks quell the instability that comes with uninterrupted self-learning in artificial analogs of brains. No one can say whether androids will dream of electric sheep, but they will almost
World's first spherical artificial eye has 3D retina
Scientists have developed the world's first 3D artificial eye with capabilities better than existing bionic eyes and in some cases, even exceed those of the human eyes, bringing vision to humanoid robots and new hope to patients with visual impairment.
Protection of layers and breeders against homologous or heterologous HPAIv by vaccines from Korean national antigen bank
An artificial intelligence-based method may infill gaps in historical temperature data more effectively than conventional techniques. Application of this method reveals a stronger global warming trend between 1850 and 2018 than estimated previously.
Maternal plasma metabolic markers of neonatal adiposity and associated maternal characteristics: The GUSTO study
Contact-tracing apps could help keep countries open before a vaccine is available. But do we have a sufficient understanding of their efficacy, and can we balance protecting public health with safeguarding civil rights? We interviewed five experts, with backgrounds in digital health ethics, internet law and social sciences.
If we can automate apathy, can we automate activism?
Fighting racism is a 24/7 battle. And right now is an important time to consider what tech privilege can and should be doing to help wage that battle.
