Police Claim Right to Use AI Facial Recognition Despite Restrictions
As a whole, artificial intelligence (AI) applications can be incredibly controversial. AI has been found to be racist, sexist, and biased. If placed in the wrong hands, AI tools like facial recognition could create a situation of life or death. When the Capitol Building was attacked in January, the public worked alongside police departments all […]
What IIoT Can Do For You
The Internet of Things (IoT) is expanding into helping smaller businesses improve their efficiency and productivity. But there is an Industrial Revolution happening, called Industry 4.0, that’s bringing more connectivity to manufacturers and industrial companies. As more businesses adopt robust IoT applications in their operations, we’ll see a shift in how IIoT is viewed and […]
5 Healthcare Technologies That Are Helping Us Fight COVID-19 — Part 2
As we start vaccinating frontline workers and at-risk populations across the world, it seems that the end is in sight for the COVID-19 pandemic. We have a multitude of technologies, old and new, to thank for helping humanity make it through this crisis. From artificial intelligence (AI) applications to UV light, we’ll discuss five more […]
How to Take IoT Data from Problem Solution to Business Model
Most companies have become increasingly data-minded in the past decade. But they often report that they’re sitting on a huge pile of data. With various departments having differing workflows and tools creating disparate data located across isolated systems, in Excel files, in databases, and even on paper, it’s not hard to see how this could […]
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 […]
AI and Robotics Are Revolutionizing Chemical Research
A newly-developed chemical research system has the potential to change the future of drug discovery. The new platform, which uses machine learning (ML) to design artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and automate molecule production over the cloud without human intervention, was announced at an opportune time: We’re fighting the coronavirus by trying to develop a vaccine […]
Why COVID-19 Contact-Tracing Mobile Apps Failed In the U.S.
When the pandemic first started, Jodie Pond, the health director of Teton County in Wyoming, hatched up a plan with Silicon Valley developers to create a health mobile app that would transform the highly-manual process of contact-tracing into something more automatic. With Teton County bordering Yellowstone National Park and housing 25,000 residents spread across an […]
Thanks to AI, Cars May Soon Be Able to Sense Your Emotions
Pretend you’re on your daily work commute. Stuck in the stop-and-go traffic on your local highway, you start getting a little nervous — you have a big presentation today at your job, and it could be the difference between a promotion and staying in the same role for yet another year. As you ponder this […]
Why IoT’s Crucial for Medical Connectivity During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the world in unprecedented ways: social distancing, mandatory mask rules, and a shift to remote work name just a few. Technological innovation is accelerating faster too as a result. Tools like the cloud, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI) are swiftly improving many fields that were otherwise […]
Can This Company Rewrite the Future of Genetic Engineering?
Crispr is well-known globally for its ability to manipulate genes by finding the appropriate genomic sequence and editing through cut-and-paste methods. Although the potential for Crispr is endless, it hasn’t been used in many human experiments. Victoria Gray received a successful infusion of Crispr cells a year ago for her sickle cell disease, but researchers […]
