Justice by robots sounds like the future we've all been waiting for.
Now computers can feel guilty too, hooray!
Scientists are still in the dark but the new insights place them a step closer to the source of fast radio bursts.
Computer: "What is my purpose?" MIT: "You spot depression!" Computer: :(
This could save Google millions of dollars -- and it also ushers in a new age of technology.
Is there anything AI won't touch?
The AIs are getting better and better.
You know how everyone says 'smile' before you snap a pic? That was Skynet's plan all along!
After analyzing data from over a quarter million patients, the neural network can predict the patient's age (within a 4-year range), gender, smoking status, blood pressure, body mass index, and risk of cardiovascular disease.
The test could be a game changer for identifying autism.
An AI writer -- can this really be?
After many failed attempts, artificial intelligence comes to the rescue.
011010.... Oh, wait, carbon-based life-form, I meant "Hello".
The eyes can also be a window into a person's health.
Tell me what you drive and I'll tell you who you'll vote for.
Feeling outdated yet?
The swarm intelligence found the #MeToo movement as the clear winner. It's the second time in a row it guessed TIME's POTY.
Taking inspiration from babies, this machine learns to predict seconds into the future.
Would you be OK with computers being the judges of gymnastics?
Hello sir, it is me, the Nigerian prince.
It seems our AI overlords have overlords of themselves.
In a new advancement, scientists developed an algorithm that can identify sick plants based on sight alone.
This will set you back $100k.
This AI seems to have gone insane. Loco!
Some information is just unreadable to humans.
More like us, in other words.
There's a lot of data to be had -- and Google wants it.
Inserting feelings into Artificial Intelligence music -- the future is kinda happening already.
After the researchers gave the AI "intuition", it blew away most professional human players.
An important incursion into bot sociology.
This is what you get when you teach AI to behave like a human.
Researchers think this method could help patients with PTSD and phobias.
The AI developed by Alphabet, Google's parent company, just received a new and powerful update.
You can dance to it. Who said robots were boring?
Fifteen years from now in a North American suburb.
A particular pattern in the human brain is connected to higher levels of intelligence.
Artificial intelligence is learning in seconds what took humans a lifetime to master.
When in danger of A.I. overlords, press the big red button.
While robotics and AI research is taking massive strides forward, our social development hasn't really kept up with them.
Despite these tentative first steps definitely look like a work in progress, don't look so stunned when you'll learn about the first best-selling novel written by a robot (I've seen worse things published). It all starts now.
Security analysts rely on all sorts of automated software that spots suspicious activity. Even so, an analyst has to churn through even thousands of false positives on a daily basis, which makes it easy to miss a cyber attack. Coming to their rescue is MIT which reports an artificial intelligence 'tutored' by the best human experts can identify 85 percent of incoming attacks. Most importantly, it's not confined to a certain set of attack patterns and learns to adapt with each new attack.
We tested Microsoft's CaptionBot and had some laughs.
Artificial Intelligence. To most of us that brings up images and short clips from movies where AI dominates Earth and enslaves us poor humans. Put away those connotations for a moment. AI in its purest sense, where programs evolve and self-improve has been very interesting. Google recently showcased an interesting program; they plugged it into a game on the PS4, and in a matter of hours, the program had taught itself to play the game, and a few hours later could play it better than any human. Although this is slightly frightening, it shows how powerful technology is getting.
A newly founded artificial intelligence lab, called Vicarious, wants to build the world's first, unified artificial intelligence that can match human intelligence. This is not the first time we've heard companies or universities trumpet such ambitious goals, but considering who's backing the project I can only entertain the possibility Vicarious might just do it. Entrepreneurs with great vision and a track record of backing successful companies have all hopped aboard, like Elon Musk (SpaceX, Tesla), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Peter Thiel (Paypal, founder of venture capital and hedge funds worth billions), Jerry Yang (Yahoo! founder), Jeff Bezos (Amazon founder) and more.
Despite decades worth of research, unbelievable computing power and sophisticated algorithms, one of today's best artificial intelligence can't score better than a four year old on a standard IQ test.
Researchers from the University of Washington and the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2) have developed a computer software that scored 49% on high-school geometry SAT tests - an average score for a human, but a great one for current AIs.
Facial recognition and motion tracking is already old news. The next level is describing what you do or what's going on - for now only in still pictures. Meet NeuralTalk, a deep learning image processing algorithm developed by Stanford engineers which uses processes similar to those used by the human brain to decipher and interpret photos. The software can easily describe, for instance, a band of people dressed up as zombies. It's remarkably effective and freaking creepy at the same time.
Tesla Motors’ Elon Musk has said that our civilization is dangerously close to encountering AI problems within a “five-year timeframe, 10 years at most.” He made the comment on the website Edge.org shortly before deleting it. His point was that, sometime soon, we may actually create a form of artificial intelligence that decides to rise […]
This question was prompted to Ray Kurzweil - well known futurologist, pioneer of the Singularity Movement and Director of Engineering at Google - by a member of the audience during a Q&A session at an Executive Program hosted at Singularity University last October. You might not give it much thought now, but the truth is half of all American jobs could be replaced by robots in just a couple of decades. If you're a teller, supermarket cashier, call center operator or even a famer, you'll likely lose your job in the coming decades. So, what's to do then? Should we all rally and ban robots? It's no easy topic, but at the same time it's important, I think, not to panic. We need to remember that this isn't the first time something like this happened. It's the old human vs automation problem. How many millions of jobs were lost to mass production in the late XIXth century? How many more once computers started permeating society? At the same time, new jobs were made. Just look at where the information industry is today. The major challenge is not if new jobs can be made. This isn't really problem. The real challenge is to make these available at the right pace and make sure people have the necessary resources to repurpose their skill set. I'll leave you to Ray.
