New York’s city council recently passed a bill (38-4) that aims to reign in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the employee hiring process. Accordingly, the bill would “require that a bi...
Reading the time on an analogue clock is surprisingly difficult for computers, but artificial intelligence can now do so accurately using a method that had previously proved tricky to deploy. Computer...
What is next for AI regulation? Senior Technologist Adam Leon Smith CITP FBCS explores the implications of the EU AI Act. In September 2021, there was a panel at a ForHumanity conference, with senior ...
Artificial intelligence is present in everyday life, from booking flights and applying for loans to steering driverless cars. It is also used in specialized fields such as cancer screening or to help ...
In a recent Mind Matters podcast, “Artificial General Intelligence: the Modern Homunculus,” Walter Bradley Center director Robert J. Marks, a and computer engineering prof, spoke with Justin Bui from ...
Deep neural networks are known to learn opaque, uninterpretable representations that lie beyond the grasp of human understanding. As such, from both scientific and practical viewpoints, it is intrigui...
IN 1945, FIRE claimed three of Gustav Klimt’s most controversial paintings. Commissioned in 1894 for the University of Vienna, « the Faculty Paintings »—as they became known—were unlike any of t...
It’s not often the world of semiconductors is turned on its head. It’s clear that a similar transformation is occurring as a superabundance of start-ups takes on the challenge of low-power neural nets...
Robots have histories that extend far back into the past. Artificial servants, autonomous killing machines, surveillance systems, and sex robots all find expression from the human imagination in works...
Artificial neural networks are famously inspired by their biological counterparts. Yet compared to human brains, these algorithms are highly simplified, even “cartoonish.” Can they teach us anything a...
Artificial intelligence (AI) was once the stuff of science fiction. But it’s becoming widespread. It is used in mobile phone technology and motor vehicles. It powers tools for agriculture and healthca...
Cancer is one of the most complex diseases that affects humankind, making it an incredibly difficult condition to study and even more difficult to treat. In fact, cancer is so complicated that the wor...
In a world in which data volumes will double by 2022 and again by 2025, emerging, data-centric technologies present a massive opportunity for Brexit UK. Chief among these is artificial intelligence (A...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is already making decisions in the fields of business, health care and manufacturing. But AI algorithms generally still get help from people applying checks and making the...
Nvidia today detailed an AI system called GauGAN2, the successor to its GauGAN model, that lets users create lifelike landscape images that don’t exist. Combining techniques like segmentation mapping,...
