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 […]
Is Artificial Intelligence the End for Human Financial Analysts?
Whether they’re professionals or not, stock traders often spend a lot of time and effort to plan out which shares and when to buy and sell for maximum profit. For many investors, psychology plays a major role in trading strategy which can fluctuate based upon anxiety over losses, overconfidence, and fear of missing out. Even […]
Does AI’s Full Potential Depend on a Physical Body?
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been expanding its skillset and improving its performance in a variety of industries. It’s become an integrated part of image processing and identification, healthcare diagnosing, automatic translation, autonomous cars, and speech analysis. But these advancements beg the question: when will AI reach its full potential? When it’s infiltrated every part of […]
Adversarial Machine Learning: A Looming Threat to AI Security
Machine learning is great for niched-down problems that require an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to pay attention to very specific details. For that reason, it’s becoming a very popular technology. But machine learning applications used in essential fields like healthcare, transportation, and finance carry a lot of responsibility. If one of these algorithms were to […]
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 […]
How Researchers Are Preparing for the AI-Fueled Deepfake Deluge
Artificial intelligence (AI) is getting better — after all, it continuously trains itself to meet and exceed expectations — but could it be getting too good? AI applications are being used to detect and warn officials and journalists about AI-generated videos called “deepfake”.
