Traditional companies need to embrace high-quality data gathering to avoid being left behind by the next industrial revolution.
There is a need to move from conventional cancer treatments to more targeted and personalised therapies.
Scores of jobs could be affected by the fourth industrial revolution – and not enough is being done to guard against this.
Medical data will need to be treated as precious to our health as drinking water.
Abandoned trolleys are an all-too-common sight. A solution to this intractable problem depends on a combination of policy and legal changes, public engagement and tracking technology.
A report calls for banning the use of emotion recognition technology. An AI and computer vision researcher explains the potential and why there’s growing concern.
Last fall, a piece of art work created by AI to resemble 18th century classical western art sold for almost half a million dollars. But the second in the series sold for much less.
If it’s impossible to accurately predict the future then there may be limits to how smart artificial intelligence can become.
At Christmas shopping, you may have noticed toys are becoming very complex. They fly, hop, jump and follow you around – some even need to be ‘connected’. But why are we seeing such technical advances?
A machine learning expert predicts a new balance between human and machine intelligence is on the horizon. For that to be good news, researchers need to figure out how to design algorithms that are fair.
When hosting a dinner party, are you obliged to let your guests know that you own a smart device like Amazon Echo or Google Home? The answer is yes, according to a privacy researcher.
Government agencies have detailed plans for responding to disasters, like the Dec. 10-11, 2021 tornados. But one issue doesn’t get enough attention: cleaning up the mess left behind.
The digital economy is taking off. So are the greenhouse gas emissions, electronic waste and pollution associated with it.
The humanities can supply wisdom to guide our galloping technological progress.
As protests raged across Chile last month, President Piñera repeatedly addressed the nation. Researchers fed his speeches into an AI system to assess the emotions behind his words.
An AI trained to look at heart scans was able to successfully predict risk of death. But one expert cautions we still need to be careful about designing – and using – AI for medical diagnosis.
On October 23 Google announced that it built a quantum computer thousands of times faster than classic computers. This could have immense impacts on finance, cryptography and other fields.
Researchers like myself are finding transformative new ways to help planners, leaders and first responders tackle disasters from afar.
StarCraft II is the latest complex game to be conquered by artificial intelligence. But if robots now reign supreme at virtual war, where does that leave us when it comes to real conflict?
