Behavioural control is poised to become a new resource for employers and the real estate industry.
Streaming platforms have introduced to thousands of hyper-specific categories and genres that shape our tastes.
You have evolved to tap into the wisdom of the crowds. But on social media, your cognitive biases can lead you astray, something organized disinformation campaigns count on.
Many features of proteins are analogous to music. Mapping these features together creates new musical compositions that help researchers learn about proteins.
Applications of artificial intelligence have been shown to include discriminatory practices. This creates a need for meaningful rights-based regulations to ensure that AI will not exacerbate inequalities.
You have evolved to tap into the wisdom of the crowds. But on social media your cognitive biases can lead you astray, something organized disinformation campaigns count on.
Researchers have long tried to unravel the puzzle of Jan van Eyck’s use of perspective in his masterpiece, the Arnolfini Portrait. New research suggests he may have had help from a novel machine.
You have evolved to tap into the wisdom of the crowds. But on social media your cognitive biases can lead you astray.
Politicians of all stripes, computer professionals and even big-tech executives are calling on government to hit the brakes on using these algorithms. The feds are hitting the gas.
