If you can recognize a dog by sight, then you can probably recognize a dog when it is described to you in words. Not so for today’s artificial intelligence. Deep neural networks have become very good ...
The AI revolution is upon us, creating a tsunami of change that is sweeping through virtually every sector of the economy, both public and private, and it’s having a profound impact on our daily lives...
Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms can spot patterns that humans can’t. But they still can’t explain, say, what caused one object to collide with another. Based on capabilities, artif...
By combining artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, organizations can see and predict upcoming trends in key sectors including business, technology, finance and healthcare. AI is the simulation of...
Cyberattacks are happening faster, targeting multiple threat surfaces simultaneously using a broad range of techniques to evade detection and access valuable data. A favorite attack strategy of bad ac...
Google’s digital cards might soon enable users to hold bitcoin and spend fiat. The company has formed partnerships with Coinbase and BitPay to enable the functionality. It is still unclear when Google...
The global startup fundraising boom has lifted nearly every sector you can name: Edtech took off during the pandemic, software in general got a lift, and even more risky and long-term wagers like spac...
If the future of computing is anything like its past, then its trajectory will depend on things that have little to do with computing itself. Technology does not appear from nowhere. It is rooted in t...
With broader cryptocurrency markets in the doldrums, at least one area of the digital-asset industry appears to be mostly unaffected and has continued to grow: blockchain-based gaming. Although token ...
Data exchanges would allow data to be traded in an open, efficient and accountable way. Data as a commodity has different properties to traditional financial assets. We must develop new standards for ...
Academic writing often has a reputation for being hard to follow, but what if you could use machine learning to summarize arguments in scientific papers so that even a seven-year-old could understand ...
achine learning is the use of data and algorithms to allow machines to imitate human behaviour. This technology is applied in many different ways. One of these is in the boosting of cyber security, an...
Imagine a team of physicians using a neural network to detect cancer in mammogram images. Even if this machine-learning model seems to be performing well, it might be focusing on image features that a...
The smartphone app Replika lets users create chatbots, powered by machine learning, that can carry on almost-coherent text conversations. Technically, the chatbots can serve as something approximating...
We have accepted the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in complex processes — from health care to our daily use of social media — often without critical investigation, until it is too late. The use ...
