ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE NEWS
Artificial Intelligence in this Age of Robots
The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is the defining feature of this age. With smart machines everything changes. Age of Robots is tracking changes on the artificial intelligence front and reporting on how this technology is changing every area of our lives. From driving our cars to composing the next masterpiece symphony, machine learning is taking on many aspects of human endeavor.
Swarm of autonomous tiny drones can localize gas leaks
When there is a gas leak in a large building or at an industrial site, human firefighters currently need to go in with gas sensing instruments. Finding the gas leak may take considerable time, while they are risking their lives. Researchers from TU Delft (the...
Artificial intelligence model predicts which key of the immune system opens the locks of coronavirus
With an artificial intelligence (AI) method developed by researchers at Aalto University and University of Helsinki, researchers can now link immune cells to their targets and for example uncouple which white blood cells recognize SARS-CoV-2. The developed tool has...
New Deep Learning Models: Fewer Neurons, More Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) can become more efficient and reliable if it is made to mimic biological models. New approaches in AI research are hugely successful in experiments. Artificial intelligence has arrived in our everyday lives—from search engines to...
Can robots write?
Can robots write? Machine learning produces dazzling results, but some assembly is still required by Alexandra Louise Uitdenbogerd, RMIT University You might have seen a recent article from The Guardian written by “a robot”. Here’s a sample: I know that my...
Dr Rafael Felix Alves on Generalised Zero-Shot Learning
Today I talk to Rafa Felix about his work at the Australian Institute for Machine Learning on generalised zero-shot learning. You can find out more about Rafa at https://researchers.adelaide.edu.au/profile/rafael.felixalves We are generously supported by our patrons...
Aerial Robotic Systems and the War on Corrosion
e live in a time when the fantastic has become ordinary. When I was growing up in the 1970’s we believed “Rosie the Robot” and flying cars from the Jetson’s would be here by the turn of the century. And...
Gender bias in hiring algorithms: Rethinking fairness and discrimination
In a gendered society, individuals’ traits and merits are often arbitrated against the specific standards that are associated to gendered expectations, which is what we often label as ‘gender bias’. What is more concerning, however, is that given the representation...
Teaching Physics to Neural Networks Removes ‘Chaos Blindness’
Researchers from North Carolina State University have discovered that teaching physics to neural networks enables those networks to better adapt to chaos within their environment. The work has implications for improved artificial intelligence (AI) applications ranging...
Androids May Well Dream of Electric Sheep!
No one can say whether androids will dream of electric sheep, but they will almost certainly need periods of rest that offer benefits similar to those that sleep provides to living brains, according to new research from Los Alamos National Laboratory. “We study...
Evolutionary Learning in Robotics
Dr David Howard on evolutionary machine learning in robotics My name is David Howard, I'm a Senior research scientist and robotics and autonomous systems group at DATA61 in Brisbane. DATA61 is part of CSIRO and we focus on basically merging the digital and physical...
Thousands of artificial synapses on a single chip
MIT engineers have designed a “brain-on-a-chip,” smaller than a piece of confetti, that is made from tens of thousands of artificial brain synapses known as memristors — silicon-based components that mimic the information-transmitting synapses in the human brain. The...
From robodebt to racism: what can go wrong when governments let algorithms make the decisions
Algorithmic decision-making has enormous potential to do good. From identifying priority areas for first response after an earthquake hits, to identifying those at risk of COVID-19 within minutes, their application has proven hugely beneficial. But things can go...
