Commentary: This mind-reading technology is just the beginning. Artificial intelligence brain implants will likely be next.

Automated moderation can be a blunt instrument – as users trying to post an image of Aboriginal men in chains discovered

After a period of euphoria, criticisms of the deep learning-centered approach to artificial intelligence have been growing. We seem to be entering a new episode of the manic-depressive cycles that have afflicted AI from the very beginning, correlated to ebbs and flows of funding from government agencies and investors.

The technology behind the patent would seek to eliminate the headache of ruined multiplayer matches when a player rage quits or is disconnected.

We're lucky that deepfake videos aren’t a big problem yet. The best deepfake detector to emerge from a major Facebook-led effort to combat the altered videos would only catch about two-thirds of them. In September, as speculation about the danger of deepfakes grew, Facebook challenged artificial intelligence wizards to develop techniques for detecting deepfake videos. In January, the company also banned deepfakes used to spread misinformation.

Here how it works

Algoriddim has launched a major update of its djay Pro live music mixing app incorporating new artificial intelligence processing that leverages the Neural Engine on Apple's "Bionic" branded mobile chips. The new djay Pro AI enables live music separation of audio tracks into vocals, beats, and instruments, enabling real-time mixing of selected components of streamed or local tracks. The new feature is branded as Neural Mix, highlighting its use of Apple's Core ML frameworks to take advantage of dedicated Neural Engine hardware on modern mobile devices including the new A12Z Bionic powered iPad Pro.

Team at MIT says halicin kills some of the world’s most dangerous strains

MIT recently trained a machine learning model to accurately predict the spread of COVID-19. According to the AI, we should be seeing a plateau where the amount of new cases begins to level off in the US and Italy in the next week. This good news, however, comes with a dire warning: relaxing quarantine measures too soon will be catastrophic.

In a paper, Google researchers reveal that they've developed an AI framework that can produce chip designs in less than six hours.

Researchers in Rennes are developing a new digital system to detect infections in premature babies and help safeguard them. #Futuris

The problem of common-sense reasoning has plagued the field of artificial intelligence for over 50 years. Now a new approach, borrowing from two disparate lines of thinking, has made important progress.

Following similar decisions from European agencies.

Facebook has launched a new chatbot that it claims is able to demonstrate empathy, knowledge and personality. "Blender" was trained using available public domain conversations which included 1.5 billion examples of human exchanges. The social media giant said 49% of people preferred interactions with the chatbot, compared with another human.

What is the future of artificial intelligence? It’s hard to say since we’re flying past at a speed where everything outside the window is a blur. However, the possibilities are vast and endless.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving—literally. Researchers have created software that borrows concepts from Darwinian evolution, including “survival of the fittest,” to build AI programs that improve generation after generation without human input. The program replicated decades of AI research in a matter of days, and its designers think that one day, it could discover new approaches to AI.

The news: In a fresh spin on manufactured pop, OpenAI has released a neural network called Jukebox that can generate catchy songs in a variety of different styles, from teenybop and country to hip-hop and heavy metal.

We’ve seen AI outperform doctors in spotting breast cancer, lung cancer and skin cancer. Now, researchers from Intel and the University of Pennsylvania are turning their attention to brain tumors. Using Intel’s AI hardware and software, Penn Medicine will lead 29 international healthcare and research institutions in creating an AI model trained on the largest brain tumor dataset ever -- and will do so without sharing sensitive patient data.

In the week of 12 to 18 April, the top ten search terms on Amazon.com were: toilet paper, face mask, hand sanitizer, paper towels, lysol spray, clorox wipes, mask, lysol, masks for germ protection, and n95 mask. People weren’t just searching, they were buying too—and in bulk. The majority of people looking for masks ended up buying the new Amazon #1 Best Seller, “Face Mask, Pack of 50”.

The researchers found that their machine learning algorithm was able to detect, segment, quantify and differentiate between types of brain lesions using images of CT scans.
