From facial recognition on smartphones to humanoid robots, computer vision technology, which serves as the eyes of artificial intelligence (AI), is widely used in daily life. A joint research team from KAIST and international institutions has developed a technology that allows AI to see the world more clearly with minimal memory, increasing GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) memory efficiency by up to 16 times. The achievement is seen as a core technology that could accelerate the era of humanoid robots and on-device AI.From facial recognition on smartphones to humanoid robots, computer vision technology, which serves as the eyes of artificial intelligence (AI), is widely used in daily life.

Will you be flagged at the border? Will your mortgage application be approved? During wartime, whose neighborhood would a weapon system target? These are moral choices—about harm and fairness—and they used to be made by people.Will you be flagged at the border? Will your mortgage application be approved?

Inspired by the human brain, Oregon State University researchers have developed a new light-sensitive device that combines sensing and memory while controlling how digital memories strengthen or fade over time. The research was published in Advanced Functional Materials.Inspired by the human brain, Oregon State University researchers have developed a new light-sensitive device that combines sensing and memory while controlling how digital memories strengthen or fade over time.

Many AI robots appear intelligent as long as they operate in controlled environments. Neuroscientist and robotics researcher Elisa Donati explains why robots with real-world readiness require more than just fast software.Many AI robots appear intelligent as long as they operate in controlled environments.

An auto factory worker can remember the storage bin where she left a partly assembled component the night before and quickly return to that spot to pick it up. But robots that may work side by side with her would struggle to develop and access this same type of “spatiotemporal” memory.An auto factory worker can remember the storage bin where she left a partly assembled component the night before and quickly return to that spot to pick it up.

The AI race is already generating forces that are transforming the global economy. That makes it surprisingly similar to the green transition, given the potential of both to upend traditional industries, labor markets and geopolitical balances. Both call for trillions of dollars in upfront investments in exchange for significant benefits over the medium and long term.The AI race is already generating forces that are transforming the global economy.
