The evolution of AI and deep learning have allowed researchers to unveil computer vision and AI techniques giving AI the chance to predict what someone is about to do next, based on their body language, through screening thousands of raw videos.
Read MoreOpenAI’s powerful text-generating GPT-3 system to power chatbots to offer medical advice and help has gone horribly wrong as a mock patient is told to kill themselves.
Read MoreA new AI from Microsoft that aims to automatically caption images in documents and emails from various platforms so that software for visual impairments can read it out.
Read MoreWith some tourist photos being publicly available, landmarks such as the Colosseum in Italy or Trevi Fountain in Rome, researchers have developed a method to create 3D images showing the changes in appearance over time.
Read MoreA new study has found that algorithmic predictions of recidivism are more accurate than human authorities. Researchers are trying to construct tests of such where AI will accurately mirror real-world situations. But what are the repercussions of this algorithm determining the trajectory of someone’s life and what level of reliability should be demanded from the AI in sentencing?
Read MoreWith the global pandemic pressuring organisations to adopt AI in their day-to-day affairs, the liabilities of AI are increasing. What should companies be aware of and what can they do to mitigate these risks?
Terminally ill scientist, Peter B Scott-Morgan, is on a mission to become the world’s first cyborg in a bid to combat his muscle wasting disease.
Read MoreAdvanced algorithms handle close-range air combat, Air Force pilot in online finale.
Read MoreA new wireless intracortical brain-computer interface neuroprosthesis is capable of transmitting accurate neural signals, using a tenth of the power required by its current systems.
Read MoreA new ‘biosynthetic’ polymer is now able to quickly heal itself with just the use of water and heat (and maybe light), leading the way towards soft robot actuators that are biodegradable and protective equipment that repairs damage automatically.
Read MoreThe U.K. and Australian information commissioners have announced a joint probe into the controversial “data scraping” practices of facial recognition company Clearview Al. This system scrapes social media sites like Facebook and Twitter for images of people’s faces.
Read MoreAmazon is using a new tool that ensures the employees within its company are socially distant during the Coronavirus pandemic. It’s using augmented reality to keep its workers 2 metres apart.
Read MoreDr Alexis Kirke has demonstrated how using quantum supercomputers would be helpful in creating and performing live music.
A new class of lawyer has arrived in town – one that is just as comfortable with code as appearing in court. They are known as the “techno-legals” by some and “lawyer-developers/coders” by others. No matter their title, their dual set of skills are becoming increasingly valuable in a digital driven world. Some believe that the new literacy of coding is now a requirement in the legal profession, but is it actually necessary?
Read MoreA furry therapeutic robot - designed to look and act like a baby seal - can improve the mood of a person. A single 60-minute session with this cuddly robot can help reduce your pain.
Read MoreUC Riverside scientists have engineered a new nanomaterial that gives robots chameleon skin. The film of gold nanoparticles changes colour in response to any type of movement and allows the robot to mimic a chameleons’ colour-changing abilities.
Read MoreResearchers at Duke University have developed an AI that is able to transform blurry, unrecognisable pictures of people’s faces into the perfect selfie, in finer detail than ever before.
Read MoreA group of engineers have trained a robot to prepare an omelette, all the way from cracking eggs to plating and serving the finished dish, and polished the ‘chef’s’ culinary skills to achieve the workings of a reliable dish that veritably tastes good.
