In a series of experiments, Australian researchers showed how machines can find vulnerabilities in human decision-making and exploit them to influence our behaviour.
Artificial intelligence is supported by an infrastructure of hardware and software that is growing increasingly present in our lives, yet remains hidden in plain view.
Neural networks today do everything from cameras to translations. A professor of computer science provides a basic explanation of how neural networks work.
A bioengineer explains how a clearer picture of brain structure and function may fine-tune the ways brain surgery attempts to correct structure and medication tries to correct function.
Sections in the brain called “senders” and “receivers” are responsible for directing neural traffic, and we are now a step closer to understanding how they work.
Finding out more about how the brain works could help programmers translate thinking from the wet and squishy world of biology into all-new forms of machine learning in the digital world.
Robots for tutoring? The desire to keep pace with technological change should not eclipse larger questions about how children’s development is impacted.
Google’s latest AI promises to help arrange your life by making appointment for you over the phone, but it’s limited by its rote learning of the simple tasks of everyday life.
