France is using AI to check whether people are wearing masks on public transport
As France makes the wearing of facial masks mandatory on public transport, it’s trialling new AI technology to check whether passengers are complying. The software, made by French startup Datakalab, is being trialed first in Paris, and will only generate anonymous statistical data.
Artificial Intelligence Is Energy-Hungry – Solution: New AI Hardware Made of Quantum Material
Quantum material could offset energy demand of artificial intelligence. To just solve a puzzle or play a game, artificial intelligence can require software running on thousands of computers. That could be the energy that three nuclear plants produce in one hour.
Artificial intelligence is energy-hungry -- new hardware could curb its appetite
A team of engineers has created hardware that can learn skills using a type of AI that currently runs on software platforms. Sharing intelligence features between hardware and software would offset the energy needed for using AI in more advanced applications such as self-driving cars or discovering drugs.
AI Is Screening Billions of Molecules for Coronavirus Treatments
Machine learning has pegged existing drugs to repurpose for COVID-19 clinical trials.
AI papers in ophthalmology made simple
To avoid metabolic overload and divide tasks, synthetic biologists are turning to microbial consortia engineering. Here the authors design a co-culture controller that autonomously regulates population composition.
The dynamic change of serum S100B levels from day 1 to day 3 is more associated with sepsis-associated encephalopathy
A bibliometric analysis of the past and present of AI research suggests a consolidation of research influence. This may present challenges for the exchange of ideas between AI and the social sciences.
Evaluation of an AI system for the detection of diabetic retinopathy from images captured with a handheld portable fundus camera: the MAILOR AI study
Dysregulation of mRNA alternative splicing is prevalent in cancers. Here, the authors characterized the landscape of aberrant alternative splicing during the development of prostate cancer, progression and therapeutic resistance and show that splicing modulator, E7107, reduces growth in castration-resistant prostate cancer.
