Facial Recocgnition AI at War
Once common primarily in science fiction entertainment, facial recognition is now ubiquitous with the mobile devices we carry with us. It is the biometric security technology of choice for many to lock (and unlock) and secure our information and devices. Facial recognition artificial intelligence (AI), similar to mobile device biometric security, takes recognizing faces and […]
Can AI Save Climate Change?
Technological advancements change many aspects of our lives. Sometimes technology can have a global impact. Most of the time, when we think about world-changing technology, we aren’t talking about the planet. Maybe we should. The path to a solution for some of our climate change challenges may reside with advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI). […]
So, What Is The Metaverse?
The term Metaverse exploded into the public lexicon with the rebranding of Facebook to Meta. Since then, the Metaverse has become a trending topic, the catchphrase of CES, and something of a meme. While there seems to be a common acceptance that the Metaverse is real – or will be – there are still many […]
When’s the Right Time to Incorporate AI?
If you survey the average American on when they expect artificial intelligence to make an impact in their daily lives, you’re likely to get a response of something along the lines of ‘five to ten years down the road’. And of course, this projection of a reality immersed with artificial intelligence technology looks something like […]
Can AI Rid the World of Disease?
In late 2020, Alphabet – the parent company of Google – solved one of biology’s most challenging problems with the help of AI – predicting the structure of proteins. Alphabet’s DeepMind – a branch of Alphabet dedicated to the development and progress of AI – built AlphaFold, an AI designed specifically for this task and […]
Can We Stop AI-Generated Deepfakes from Rewriting History? — Part 2
Welcome to the second and final chapter in our series that examines one of the bleakest possibilities for the future of artificial intelligence (AI) development: Could deepfakes rewrite human history? For our first post, we explored how synthetic media could cause us to spiral into a digital dark age if left unchecked. Potential events included […]
Can We Stop AI-Generated Deepfakes from Rewriting History? — Part 1
Since deepfakes became viable a few years ago, these digital alterations have caused concern for the potential catastrophic damage they could wreak on society. Using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, deepfake creators are able to craft increasingly convincing counterfeits of video, images, and audio. Soon, this synthetic media could start sowing doubt about the authenticity of […]
How AI Is Impacting Wealth Management
