Lawyers were thought to be mostly immune from the coming AI revolution, but two legal experts explain why jobs that rely on human ingenuity can still be affected.
Machine learning is great at finding patterns but doesn’t know what those patterns mean. Combine it with knowledge gained from genetic research and you have a powerful view into the workings of cells.
The Federal Court of Australia has made a world-first ruling in favour of granting a patent to an artificial intelligence. But what comes next?
The decision is supported by the government’s policy environment in recent years. This has aimed to increase innovation, and views technology as a way to achieve this.
Robots are more likely than people to misclassify emotions when reading faces that are partially covered. This could lead to unexpected behaviours when they interact with people wearing masks.
The government’s ‘levelling up’ agenda seems to be taking no account of coming automation.
It’s difficult to tell a shipwreck from a natural feature on the ocean floor in a scan taken from a plane or ship. This project used deep learning to get it right 92% of the time.
Ireland is the latest country to make the mistake of thinking that algorithms by themselves are the route to untold prosperity.
Digital assistants have been defaulted to having female voices because of how developers and coders view women’s labour.
An AI analysis shows that differences in how New Yorkers and Angelenos tweet go beyond the words they use.
Machine learning is helping astronomers unravel the vast amounts of data being collected.
Countries have adopted a wide array of measures involving a proliferation of fraud agencies.
Entrepreneurs can create entirely new ways of providing goods and services if they’re adequately trained to take advantage of technological advances.
Autonomous robots hold great promise for the agricultural sector, but it’s vital that the public gets a say in their creation.
Custom fabrication involves taking measurements, choosing tools, deciding on sequences of steps and ordering from a menu of materials. AIs under development promise to take humans out of the loop.
As the use of virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa expand in homes and workplaces, designers are working to make voice exchanges more natural.
Bots flooding social media with fake news about politics is bad enough. Muddying the waters in such fields as cybersecurity and health care could put lives at risk.
Through the act of suggesting some words and not others, the predictive text features in our devices change the way we think — and therefore shape our culture.
The new EU regulation is about to change the way we do artificial intelligence. The United Nations needs to follow suit.
