Food Waste Is a Big Problem – Can AI Solve It?
Approximately one-third of all food produced for human consumption is wasted each year according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. That equates to 1.3 billion tons and carries an annual cost of $1 trillion. If we could salvage this waste, FAO estimates that we’d have enough food to meet the […]
AI 101: What Is Machine Learning?
Self-driving cars… Online recommendations for what to binge-watch or buy next… Fraud detection… all of these are made possible through machine learning. Over the past few years, this branch of artificial intelligence (AI) has completely changed what’s possible with technology. But what exactly is machine learning? Although many of us use it each and every […]
The Pioneers Behind Deep Learning Have Won Computing’s Highest Honor
