AI + Biology = The World’s First “Living Robot”?
Merging artificial intelligence (AI) development and biology is the stuff of science fiction. Or, at least, it used to be — a team of researchers has revealed that they’ve created the first “living robots.” And it could change how we understand AI, approach healthcare, and preserve our environment. A Recipe for New Life? Last month, […]
Will AI Take Over the Process of Invention?
Artificial intelligence (AI) development has made leaps and bounds in recent years — to the point that the technology is now assisting inventors in a variety of ways, such as identifying promising new materials or drugs. But what happens when AI is solely responsible for the actual act of invention itself? An Artificial Inventor Ryan […]
How AI Can Help or Hurt IoT Security
If there’s something that almost all emerging technologies are lacking, it’s strong cybersecurity standards and protocols. We’ve been developing innovative applications freely and creatively, but if we don’t keep an eye on hacking trends and enterprise-level security standards, we’re going to see customers, profits, and business value drop quickly. In fact, lack of cybersecurity in […]
