5 Ways AI Is Fueling the Next Phase of Space Exploration
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been achieving amazing results recently, allowing us to solve or get closer to solving decades-long problems in all kinds of industries. One major field that AI applications could make a big splash in is space and aeronautics. Although space exploration and technology isn’t a household name yet, the industry has been […]
Smartphones: The New Way to Train Neural Networks?
We know artificial intelligence (AI) to be a workhorse technology that can take nearly any information and make sense of it. But AI is still running into growing pains as hardware hasn’t caught up to the rapid and accelerated growth that AI software and research are experiencing. The tools behind many AI applications, often neural […]
The AI Effect on Employment – a Net Positive or Negative?
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are growing rapidly, and we’re seeing advancements in many fields due to these emerging technologies. For a long time, industry leaders have warned that AI might eventually take over many jobs and force workers to learn new skills to stay competitive. A recent study by the London-based Confederation […]

How AI Helps Us Tell Conspiracy Theory Fact from Fiction
Conspiracy theories are everywhere these days, and social media is perpetuating how fast people learn about them. What once were doubtful ideas with little evidence supporting them, conspiracy theories have moved into the realm of causing harm and danger to whoever or whatever is thought to be the cause of the theory. Forums that draw […]
What’s an Algorithm? A Look at the Magic Behind Data-Driven Decisions
The term “algorithm” in computing is inescapable. Found everywhere, it can mean an artificial intelligence (AI) application used in the cloud, for quantum computing, in self-driving cars, on social media, or a host of other technologies. Like programming languages, algorithms are a set of instructions for a computer. Unlike programming languages which dole out very […]
This AI Rates Attractiveness… For Science?
A new artificial intelligence (AI) application from a team of researchers in the European Union (EU), called “How Normal Am I?”, is shaking up a lot of people’s self-confidence today. Sure, not everyone is as photogenic as the models in the above image, but we’re all beautiful in our own unique way, right? This AI […]
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 […]
Will COVID-19 Spur the Shift to AI-First Cybersecurity?
When the COVID-19 pandemic caused the workforce to start working from home, cybersecurity became a big challenge for many companies. The worldwide shift to remote work had major implications for security in enterprises. At many of these enterprises, their security solutions were outdated, patched-up, and cheap. Millions of network connections became dangerously vulnerable almost overnight. […]
