Will AI Generate Wealth for Everyone?
Every year, we invest a lot of time, effort, and money to make emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and 5G into a reality. Although many of the benefits that these technologies bring us are obvious (more automation with AI, deeper connectivity with the IoT, and faster internet with 5G), […]
Do You Really Need Machine Learning for Your Chatbot?
Developing chatbots can involve as little or as much complexity as you want, depending on your budget, desired accuracy, and business application. Although chatbots can be as simple as pattern-based applications or as involved as machine learning (ML) applications, they can always be upgraded to the newest technologies when the time is right. With the […]
5 Things We Must Do to Make AI a Force for Good
Over the past decade, artificial intelligence (AI) applications have had an eventful journey that involved autonomous car crashes with pedestrians, discriminatory recruiting technology that favored men over women, and racist AI tools. And although these issues sparked intense debate and discussion over AI ethics, the fact of the matter is that talk is nothing without […]
5 Ways AI Is Fueling the Next Phase of Space Exploration
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been achieving amazing results recently, allowing us to solve or get closer to solving decades-long problems in all kinds of industries. One major field that AI applications could make a big splash in is space and aeronautics. Although space exploration and technology isn’t a household name yet, the industry has been […]
Has COVID-19 Catalyzed an Automation Revolution?
Robots are getting better at their jobs, and robotics engineers are building more life-like robots than ever. The technology is a tool in the larger field of automation, which, like all industries, was largely affected by COVID-19. As stay-at-home orders were enacted and employees became infected, companies that had automation in place were much better […]
How AI Helps Us Tell Conspiracy Theory Fact from Fiction
Conspiracy theories are everywhere these days, and social media is perpetuating how fast people learn about them. What once were doubtful ideas with little evidence supporting them, conspiracy theories have moved into the realm of causing harm and danger to whoever or whatever is thought to be the cause of the theory. Forums that draw […]
This AI Rates Attractiveness… For Science?
A new artificial intelligence (AI) application from a team of researchers in the European Union (EU), called “How Normal Am I?”, is shaking up a lot of people’s self-confidence today. Sure, not everyone is as photogenic as the models in the above image, but we’re all beautiful in our own unique way, right? This AI […]
AI & Alcohol: How Machine Learning Helped Make Hops-Free Beer
The worlds of artificial intelligence (AI) and biology are becoming increasingly intertwined. We’ve seen some pretty remarkable things grow out of synthetic biology: lab-grown meat, recyclable biofuel, and super-powered yeast cells that create life-saving drugs like insulin. A subfield of biology, synthetic biology, often gets down and dirty with genomics and gene editing to develop […]
What Happens When AI Learns by Reading the Entire Internet?
When we read, we make connections and store those connections for future reference. Whether it’s a new way to use a word or learning an unfamiliar word or phrase, we can strengthen our knowledge by increasing the number of connections to the new information. This is exactly how an artificial intelligence (AI) application by Stanford […]
Facebookâs Smart Home Robots: The Next Step in IoT?
Smart homes are getting more helpful with the addition of new technologies and constantly improving AI assistants. We can now use our voice to control our lights, music, car charging, door locks, and much more. We can even have a set type of APIs connected together to form a voice-enabled assistant that informs us about […]
