In China’s hilly Guizhou province, a cluster of European-style buildings complete with a clock tower and a multi-arched bridge emits a low, permanent hum—a clue to its unexpected identity as tech giant Huawei’s largest data center.In China’s hilly Guizhou province, a cluster of European-style buildings complete with a clock tower and a multi-arched bridge emits a low, permanent hum—a clue to its unexpected identity as tech giant Huawei’s largest data center.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
A horde of schoolchildren watched excitedly as a diminutive humanoid tour guide named Wuji welcomed them to a robot school in eastern China, gesticulating theatrically as it described the institute’s aspiration to train the mechanical workforce of the future.A horde of schoolchildren watched excitedly as a diminutive humanoid tour guide named Wuji welcomed them to a robot school in eastern China, gesticulating theatrically as it described the institute’s aspiration to train the mechanical workforce of the future.Robotics[#item_full_content]

When people with a sight impairment cannot cope with everyday tasks, it is often not due to a lack of competence, but rather because of impediments existing in their environment. A mobile assistance system, which is currently under development by researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation (IOSB), is designed to help them achieve greater independence in their daily work and make it easier for qualified professionals to secure jobs. Extended-reality glasses (XR), combined with Artificial Intelligence will adapt their working environment to individual vision requirements.When people with a sight impairment cannot cope with everyday tasks, it is often not due to a lack of competence, but rather because of impediments existing in their environment.

Researchers from Skoltech (part of the VEB.RF group) and Central University have developed an automated coin-grading approach that minimizes the subjectivity of manual assessments and overcomes the limitations of computer vision algorithms typically used for this purpose. The new approach provides more accurate and detailed grading across a wide variety of coin types. The approach was presented in the Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage and further refined in two subsequent studies published in Expert Systems with Applications and IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement.Researchers from Skoltech (part of the VEB.RF group) and Central University have developed an automated coin-grading approach that minimizes the subjectivity of manual assessments and overcomes the limitations of computer vision algorithms typically used for this purpose.

When an artificial intelligence image generator produces a portrait, whose work went into it? The question sits at the center of lawsuits, licensing deals and proposed regulations worldwide. Artists want credit. Companies want clarity. Policymakers want a way to assign responsibility.When an artificial intelligence image generator produces a portrait, whose work went into it?

Modern artificial intelligence (AI) platforms can summarize reports, analyze documents and answer questions in seconds. But when information is spread across dozens of slides, charts and tables, even advanced models can miss important details.Modern artificial intelligence (AI) platforms can summarize reports, analyze documents and answer questions in seconds.

Artificial intelligence has created new jobs in more than half of UK firms, according to a study by British bank Lloyds released Tuesday, even as fears about its impact on employment grow.Artificial intelligence has created new jobs in more than half of UK firms, according to a study by British bank Lloyds released Tuesday, even as fears about its impact on employment grow.Business[#item_full_content]
From searching disaster zones and responding to chemical spills to monitoring fragile ecosystems, future robot swarms may have to act in places where direct human control is difficult or dangerous. To operate autonomously, the robots must be able to decide together which problem to address and where to go next. But collective decision-making creates its own vulnerability: Robots improve their decisions by sharing information, yet faulty machines, inaccurate observations or manipulated messages can mislead the entire swarm.From searching disaster zones and responding to chemical spills to monitoring fragile ecosystems, future robot swarms may have to act in places where direct human control is difficult or dangerous.
