Why Even Experts Don’t Know How Much AI Will Transform Our Workforce
For the better part of a decade, experts have expressed serious concern about artificial intelligence’s (AI) impact on job security and unemployment rates. But economists have widely varying projections about just how many jobs will be automated in the next decade. Different Pictures of the Same Scenario In one study, researchers at the University of […]
M.I.T. Plans to Invest $1 Billion In New College for AI
Countries and companies around the world are racing to leverage the profound capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI). In fact, many of them have even given themselves deadlines. For example, China would like to be a world leader in AI by 2025. The Boston-based Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is throwing its hat into the ring […]
AI Is Taking Flight in the Aerospace Industry
Boeing is a major longtime player in the airplane and aerospace industry. But it’s not letting its historic past get in the way of embracing the future. According to Boeing’s CTO, Greg Hyslop, the company is using artificial intelligence (AI) to simplify the cockpit for pilots. Because there is a shortage of pilots that is expected […]
AI Can Finally Explain Its Thought Process (Sort Of)
Artificial intelligence (AI) that can comprehend and explain its thoughts is a “holy grail” in the field — one that the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is dedicating $2 billion to over the next five years towards. Now, a team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) says they’ve accomplished the […]
MIT Is Developing AI to Track Sensors In Your Body
As big tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft become more interested in medical technology applications, startups are undoubtedly facing some tough competition. But that’s not stopping researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). A team at MIT’s Computer Science Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) is using wireless radio signals and AI to interact with sensors inside the body. […]
MIT Created a Psychopath AI to Demonstrate the Dangers of Bias
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) decided to make an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm into a psychopath. Why? For science! Specifically, the AI is being used to demonstrate the dangers of introducing biases to AI. You Are What You Eat MIT researchers Manuel Cebrian, Iyad Rahwan, and Pinar Yanardag trained the algorithm by […]
MIT Made a New Wearable That Gives Your Thoughts a Voice
MedTech wearables are evolving, but the adoption by the general public has been slow. But a new device out of Boston-based MIT could change that. The wearable seemingly reads your internal voice and carries out computations, integrates with Roku, and more. Arnav Kapur led the team who developed the device, which is aptly dubbed “AlterEgo”. “Our […]
Drones Can Dodge Obstacles at High Speeds, Thanks to Uncertainty
A little bit of uncertainty never hurt anyone, right? In tech, the answer to that question is almost always “no.” But with high-speed drones flying through cities with tall skyscrapers, busy warehouses, and thick forests, the answer could very well be “Yes!” Recently, researchers from the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) at MIT […]
