To help establish South Africa’s gaming industry as a viable career path for more diverse participants, more support for the technical training required has to be considered.
As artificial intelligence increasingly intersects with our work and personal lives, we will need to adapt to survive in this new reality.
The 737 Max is the best-selling airliner ever. But two have crashed in five months, killing 346, damaging Boeing’s future and raising questions about the increasing sophistication of cockpit technology.
We’re on the way to making machines that appear and act human, and can think for themselves. So how will they react to our behaviour towards them, especially the bad behaviour?
From the law to the media we’re becoming artificial humans, mere tools of the machines.
Robots for tutoring? The desire to keep pace with technological change should not eclipse larger questions about how children’s development is impacted.
Because a host of artists and programmers can leave their stamp on a final product, disagreements and claims of theft have ensued.
When algorithms are at work, there should be a human safety net to prevent harming people. Artificial intelligence systems can be taught to ask for help.
While some alarmists predict AI will decimate the workforce, the truth is concerted action by leaders in labor, business, government and education can ensure workers aren’t replaced by robots.
Despite the fact that rare diseases aren’t actually so rare, it appears they suffer from a branding problem in Canada.
Scientists have developed a robotic arm with knowledge of its physical form – a very basic sense of self.
A recent executive order from President Trump won’t do much to help the US stay ahead of Chinese innovation and investment in AI.
Artificially intelligent drug design programs could discover new therapies for conditions that are difficult or prohibitively expensive to cure.
AlphaZero is a machine capable of defeating the most complex board games for the human mind, based only on its own learning experience, not on accumulated human knowledge.

Pursuing big, unrealistic dreams can distract from real scientific progress. It’s time for AI research to focus on restoring and expanding human control and responsibility.
Robots are not yet as good as humans at working with other humans or even working with other robots.
Intimacy with robots is closer than you think, and cities are already fighting the advent of sexbot brothels. Yet society has barely begun to explore their implications.
Bee brains contain less than one million neurons. Despite this, new research shows the honeybee can use symbols to perform basic maths, including addition and subtraction.
