The FIRST robotics competition brings school students together to build a robot to complete a challenge. And it’s an inspiring way to encourage interest in STEM.
An artificial intelligence has defeated a world champion of Go, the ancient Chinese strategy game. But what is Go, and why is it worth teaching to a computer?
Google’s artificial intelligence made a surprise move in the recent Go challenge that has some people worried about what happens when AI makes a non-human decision that we could not anticipate.
Computers are getting better and better at the jobs that previously made sense for researchers to outsource to citizen scientists. But don’t worry: there’s still a role for people in these projects.
What happens if we let growing artificial intelligence make all of our decisions for us?
Consciousness is one of the most mysterious phenomena we know of. But evidence is emerging that it might just be a very special kind of information processing.
Our data-driven model was able to create a reasonably accurate assessment of justices’ views on issues, predict their alignments on cases and identify who might be a swing vote.
A machine has bested us at yet another intellectually challenging game. It shows artificial intelligence is progressing rapidly, but it doesn’t mean humans are redundant quite yet.
Can software really be considered the “driver” of an autonomous vehicle? This is one question that needs to be resolved before driveless cars can hit the roads.
Researchers face stiff fines or even jail time if they inadvertently communicate with foreign colleagues about matters deemed to have a military use.
The world’s largest technology companies are making public the programming and hardware designs at the center of their businesses.
Intelligent machines are taking on many of the jobs once carried out by humans but that doesn’t mean we’ll have mass unemployment.
Some suggest half of current jobs will be lost to automation over the next decade or two. But it’s far too early to pit man versus machine.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, imagine if your date was not human, but a machine. Could there ever be a romantic bond between a human and a robot?
Robots and intelligent machines will one day takeover the tasks currently carried out by medical staff. But are we ready to place our health care in the hands of a machine?
While it’s impressive, developing a computer to win at Go is not a big step toward the type of artificial intelligence used by the thinking machines we see in the movies.
When it comes to weapons with artificial intelligence, there’s an argument for keeping a human in charge of some of the action.
Even the smartest AIs weren’t supposed to beat top humans at Go for another decade or more.
It won’t happen overnight but it will happen.
