When AI systems start to make judgments about a person’s quality of life independently without checks and balances such as in the case of AI systems that monitor students' emotions in classrooms to gauge engagement, and AI systems that make decisions on whether someone should be incarcerated, is...

Algorithms promise to cut bureaucracy, yet this could leave insurers more exposed to fraud

Smile! You're on camera — or you were at some point in the past few years — and now your face is public domain. Facial recognition technology is everywhere, and only becoming more pervasive. It's marketed as a security feature by companies like Apple and Google to prevent strangers from unlocking your iPhone or front door.

An algorithm uses radio waves rather than visible light to detect what people are up to without revealing what they look like.

Text-generating AI is getting better and better — but it’s not yet contest-winning good.

How predictive-text technology could transform the future of the written word.

Artificial intelligence is on a par with human experts when it comes to making medical diagnoses based on images, a review has found. The potential for artificial intelligence in healthcare has caused excitement, with advocates saying it will ease the strain on resources, free up time for doctor-patient interactions and even aid the development of tailored treatment. Last month the government announced £250m of funding for a new NHS artificial intelligence laboratory.

Electrical engineers at Duke University have harnessed the power of machine learning to design dielectric (non-metal) metamaterials that absorb and emit specific frequencies of terahertz radiation. The design technique changed what could have been more than 2000 years of calculation into 23 hours, clearing the way for the design of new, sustainable types of thermal energy harvesters and lighting.

A team of researchers from UC Santa Barbara and Intel took thousands of conversations from the scummiest communities on Reddit and Gab and used them to develop and train AI to combat hate speech. Finally, r/The_Donald and other online cesspools are doing something useful.

A team of researchers has investigated the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to detect diseases in medical images as well as humans can.

After one young entrepreneur lost a loved one, she created an avatar to help her grieve. Now her AI platform helps millions of users find their own digital besties.

Is it possible to use machine learning with small data? Yes, it is! Here's N-Shot Learning.

In recent years, the country has rushed to pursue “intelligent education.” Now its billion-dollar ed-tech companies are planning to export their vision overseas.

More than 40 cameras with the AI system were installed at Pik Uk Prison – in Hong Kong’s Sai Kung district – in February, as the government pushes smart city infrastructure

Your next cubicle buddy could be a robot. How awesome is that?!

The world of NLP already contains an assortment of pre-trained models and techniques. This article discusses how to best discern which model will work for your goals.

The secrecy surrounding AI products makes even basic information about them a scandal.

Who could have seen that coming?

​We've already seen several dog-like quadruped robots, which move by walking with their four backward-bending legs. Researchers at Florida Atlantic University are now getting in on the act, with their artificially-intelligent (and dog-headed) Astro robot.

Namita Pradhan sat at a desk in downtown Bhubaneswar, India, about 40 miles from the Bay of Bengal, staring at a video recorded in a hospital on the other side of the world. The video showed the inside of someone’s colon. Ms. Pradhan was looking for polyps, small growths in the large intestine that could lead to cancer. When she found one — they look a bit like a slimy, angry pimple — she marked it with her computer mouse and keyboard, drawing a digital circle around the tiny bulge.
