Giving Neural Nets an Innate Brain-Like Structure Could Bolster Deep Learning

0

How many times have you heard the following idea? Deep learning, the machine learning technique that has taken the AI world by storm, is loosely inspired by the human brain. I myself have repeated the statement so many times it’s easy to forget that the emphasis is on the word “loosely.” Even among academics, the […]

Sensors and Machine Learning Are Giving Robots a Sixth Sense

0

According to some scientists, humans really do have a sixth sense. There’s nothing supernatural about it: the sense of proprioception tells you about the relative positions of your limbs and the rest of your body. Close your eyes, block out all sound, and you can still use this internal “map” of your external body to […]

AI Is Rapidly Augmenting Healthcare and Longevity

0

When it comes to the future of healthcare, perhaps the only technology more powerful than CRISPR is artificial intelligence. Over the past five years, healthcare AI startups around the globe raised over $4.3 billion across 576 deals, topping all other industries in AI deal activity. During this same period, the FDA has given 70 AI […]

Combine AI With Crowdsourcing and What Do You Get? Turbocharged Innovation

0

A great analogy can often be the key to innovation, making it possible to transfer knowledge from one domain to another. Now researchers have shown that rather than relying on eureka moments, crowdsourcing and AI can dramatically speed up the search for these parallels. Examples of analogies leading to major breakthroughs range from Edison’s early […]

What Games Are Humans Still Better at Than AI?

0

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems’ rapid advances are continually crossing rows off the list of things humans do better than our computer compatriots. AI has bested us at board games like chess and Go, and set astronomically high scores in classic computer games like Ms. Pacman. More complex games form part of AI’s next frontier. While […]

This AI Can Tell Your Age By Analyzing Your Gut Microbiome

0

The plethora of bacteria and other tiny organisms that live in your gut, often referred to as the gut microbiome, don’t just help you digest food and fight disease. As detailed in a new study, they also provide a very accurate biological clock that shows your physical age—a fact that may open up wide-ranging possibilities […]

Can AI Tell the Difference Between a Polar Bear and a Can Opener?

0

Scarcely a day goes by without another headline about neural networks: some new task that deep learning algorithms can excel at, approaching or even surpassing human competence. As the application of this approach to computer vision has continued to improve, with algorithms capable of specialized recognition tasks like those found in medicine, the software is […]

Big Brother Nation: The Case for Ubiquitous, Open-Sourced Surveillance in Smart Cities

0

Powerful surveillance cameras have crept into public spaces. We are filmed and photographed hundreds of times a day. To further raise the stakes, the resulting video footage is fed to new forms of artificial intelligence software that can recognize faces in real time, read license plates, even instantly detect when a particular pre-defined action or […]

Understanding the Hidden Bias in Emotion-Reading AIs

0

Facial recognition technology has progressed to point where it now interprets emotions in facial expressions. This type of analysis is increasingly used in daily life. For example, companies can use facial recognition software to help with hiring decisions. Other programs scan the faces in crowds to identify threats to public safety. Unfortunately, this technology struggles […]

Making Superhumans Through Radical Inclusion and Cognitive Ergonomics

0

Imagine trying to read War and Peace one letter at a time. The thought alone feels excruciating. But in many ways, this painful idea holds parallels to how human-machine interfaces (HMI) force us to interact with and process data today. Designed back in the 1970s at Xerox PARC and later refined during the 1980s by […]
