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 […]
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 […]
How Natural Language Processing AI Is Detecting COVID-19 Variants
Natural language processing (NLP) is an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that is used to analyze words, tone, underlying meaning, and phrases. But that’s not all NLP is being used for. Recently, biology researchers from Boston-based MIT started applying NLP algorithms to predict virus mutations and generate protein sequences, allowing them to detect new COVID-19 variants […]
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 Machine Learning Isn’t Mainstream Yet
Thanks to great advancements in computational power, new algorithms, and better labeling of data, machine learning applications have flourished in recent years. From customer service chatbots to content recommendations, it now feels like this technology is everywhere. Unfortunately, much of machine learning’s potential is still left on the table. Technical constrictions and complicated barriers lie […]
The Animal-AI Olympics Aims to Find out How Close Machines Are to Common Sense
This June, artificial intelligence (AI) researchers will pit their trained algorithms against one other in a series of tasks typically used to test animal cognition. The contest, known as the Animal-AI Olympics, aims to find out how close we’ve come to building machines with common sense. And a $10,000 prize pool awaits the winner. Adaptability, […]
Can Quantum Computing Make Machine Learning Better?
There’s no doubt machine learning applications have given businesses and consumers extraordinary capabilities that weren’t possible before. But the truth is the technology is being held back by hardware; traditional CPUs and machine learning don’t exactly work well together. Can quantum computing help machine learning developers take things a step further? A new study from […]
