There are, without a doubt, two broad technological fields that have been developing at an increasingly fast pace over the past decade: artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT).There are, without a doubt, two broad technological fields that have been developing at an increasingly fast pace over the past decade: artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT).Hardware[#item_full_content]

Corporate efforts to use artificial intelligence in a more socially responsible way have a surprising benefit—they can often improve product quality, according to a national survey of company officials.Corporate efforts to use artificial intelligence in a more socially responsible way have a surprising benefit—they can often improve product quality, according to a national survey of company officials.Business[#item_full_content]

Optical tactile sensors are gaining significant attention as next-generation biometric recognition technologies. Capable of analyzing dynamic forces from a single image, these sensors transcend the limitations of existing optical systems, creating potential applications in diverse fields, such as handwriting emotion analysis, surface characterization, and anti-counterfeiting measures.Optical tactile sensors are gaining significant attention as next-generation biometric recognition technologies.

In the classic cartoon “The Jetsons,” Rosie the robotic maid seamlessly switches from vacuuming the house to cooking dinner to taking out the trash. But in real life, training a general-purpose robot remains a major challenge.In the classic cartoon “The Jetsons,” Rosie the robotic maid seamlessly switches from vacuuming the house to cooking dinner to taking out the trash.

The potential of human-AI collaboration has captured our imagination: a future where human creativity and AI’s analytical power combine to make critical decisions and solve complex problems. But new research from the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence (CCI) suggests this vision may be much more nuanced than we once thought.The potential of human-AI collaboration has captured our imagination: a future where human creativity and AI’s analytical power combine to make critical decisions and solve complex problems.

Imagine you decide to write a short story about a protagonist who creates an artificial human and then falls in love with it. What gender is your protagonist? What about the artificial human? Would you write a moving love story? A cautionary dystopian tale?Imagine you decide to write a short story about a protagonist who creates an artificial human and then falls in love with it.

When the pandemic hit, I found myself stuck in a pub in rural Queensland. The undeniably enviable position meant that in between working remotely for an AI company, I was also helping my parents navigate operating their country pub in lockdown.When the pandemic hit, I found myself stuck in a pub in rural Queensland.

Over the past decade or so, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced computational techniques that can tackle real-world tasks with human-comparable accuracy. While many of these artificial intelligence (AI) models have achieved remarkable results, they often do not precisely replicate the computations performed by the human brain.Over the past decade or so, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced computational techniques that can tackle real-world tasks with human-comparable accuracy.
