Google’s artificial intelligence has been taught to look for planets around other stars. It’s already making new discoveries that scientists have missed.
DeepMind’s machine learning collaboration with another NHS trust (this time, it’s applying the tech to breast cancer) kicks up more questions of trust.
The new AlphaGo Zero artificial intelligence took just days to learn to play Go from scratch, with no human intervention. It even learned strategies never seen before in human play.
Combining machine learning, artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles could revolutionize how people with disabilities get around their communities.
Computers today are fast and powerful but they still can’t think like a human when it comes to some tasks we find easy. That’s why tech companies are turning to neuroscience for help.
