A New AI Milestone: Passing an 8th Grade Science Exam
In 2015, 700 artificial intelligence (AI) developers competed to win $80,000 in prize money. Their objective? To build an AI system capable of passing an eighth-grade science exam. Unfortunately, all submitted systems failed to accomplish this, with the best contender answering only 60% of questions on the test correctly. At the time, AI was no […]
Is Youth the Secret to Better AI Algorithms?
Artificial intelligence (AI) may be a subset of the well-defined and documented field of computer science, but the theory behind AI programming varies from developer to developer. For example, some view AI as a purely algorithmic true/false approach, while others believe AI should be modeled more closely after the human brain. Alan Turing, the famous […]
The Pioneers Behind Deep Learning Have Won Computing’s Highest Honor
Known as the “Nobel Prize of computing,” the Turing Award is the highest honor in computer science. It is bestowed upon individuals who make major technological contributions to the field. The award is named after Alan Turing, the mathematician and computing pioneer who is credited as the key founder of artificial intelligence (AI). And it […]
Can the United States Win the AI Race?
The acceleration of artificial intelligence (AI) has piqued the interest of many countries such as the United States, Russia, and China. Now, they’re all in a race to become the foremost authority in the technology. Recently, the US Pentagon released an unclassified version of its AI strategy—but will these plans be enough to outpace the […]

Can Machine Learning Be Used to Predict Earthquakes?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly powerful. In the past, we’ve covered stories of how this technology is impacting enterprise applications, MedTech innovation, and the FinTech industry. But today’s topic is certainly a new one — scientists have developed machine learning to predict aftershock patterns of earthquakes. Analyzing Aftershocks “If you think about making forecasts of […]
Thousands of AI Researchers Are Boycotting the New Nature Journal
When did science become so political? Between applying for government grants for research, paying journals so university students can read published science papers, and inter-departmental politics surrounding tenure, there is no shortage of politics in scientific research. Nature is the world’s most cited journal. The London-based publishing group’s addition of machine learning (ML) into their line-up of more than […]
The Dangerous Potential Exploits of AI
The possibilities with artificial intelligence (AI) seem endless. At first read, it’s normal for that sentence to have a positive connotation. But just as with any other tool, AI development could be used for nefarious purposes. And while it’s certainly unpleasant to ponder, it’s absolutely something that’s necessary for techies, developers, and the general public […]
The Incoming Three Waves of Automation: Is AI Going to Change Everything?
By 2030, multinational consulting firm PwC estimates that artificial intelligence (AI) could boost the global economy by as much as $15 trillion. But to get to that point, society will have to endure three different waves of automation. Each one will bring its own unique set of benefits and challenges as AI integrates with the […]
