Self-driving cars occasionally crash because their visual systems can’t always process static or slow-moving objects in 3D space. In that regard, they’re like the monocular vision of many insects, whose compound eyes provide great motion-tracking and a wide field of view but poor depth perception.Self-driving cars occasionally crash because their visual systems can’t always process static or slow-moving objects in 3D space.

Many decisions that were previously made by humans will be left to machines in the future. But can we really rely on the decisions made by artificial intelligence? In sensitive areas, people would like a guarantee that the decision is actually sensible, or at least that certain serious errors have been ruled out.Many decisions that were previously made by humans will be left to machines in the future.

Humans are interacting more than ever with artificial intelligence (AI)—from the development of the first “social robots” (a robot with a physical body programmed to interact and engage with humans) like Kismet in the 1990s to smart speakers such as Amazon’s Alexa.Humans are interacting more than ever with artificial intelligence (AI)—from the development of the first “social robots” (a robot with a physical body programmed to interact and engage with humans) like Kismet in the 1990s to smart speakers such as Amazon’s Alexa.Robotics[#item_full_content]

Organizations are increasingly utilizing machine-learning models to allocate scarce resources or opportunities. For instance, such models can help companies screen resumes to choose job interview candidates or aid hospitals in ranking kidney transplant patients based on their likelihood of survival.Organizations are increasingly utilizing machine-learning models to allocate scarce resources or opportunities.

Most robotic systems developed to date can either tackle a specific task with high precision or complete a range of simpler tasks with low precision. For instance, some industrial robots can complete specific manufacturing tasks very well but cannot easily adapt to new tasks. On the other hand, flexible robots designed to handle a variety of objects often lack the accuracy necessary to be deployed in practical settings.Most robotic systems developed to date can either tackle a specific task with high precision or complete a range of simpler tasks with low precision.

Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists are developing powerful machine learning models—an application of artificial intelligence—to simulate underground hydrogen storage operations under various cushion gas scenarios. This will play a vital role in the low-carbon economy of the future.Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists are developing powerful machine learning models—an application of artificial intelligence—to simulate underground hydrogen storage operations under various cushion gas scenarios.

In May, a multibillion-dollar UK-based multinational called Informa announced in a trading update that it had signed a deal with Microsoft involving “access to advanced learning content and data, and a partnership to explore AI expert applications.” Informa is the parent company of Taylor & Francis, which publishes a wide range of academic and technical books and journals, so the data in question may include the content of these books and journals.In May, a multibillion-dollar UK-based multinational called Informa announced in a trading update that it had signed a deal with Microsoft involving “access to advanced learning content and data, and a partnership to explore AI expert applications.” Informa is the parent company of Taylor & Francis, which publishes a wide range of academic and technical books and journals, so the data in question may include the content of these books and journals.Business[#item_full_content]

Even the best AI large language models (LLMs) fail dramatically when it comes to simple logical questions. This is the conclusion of researchers from the Jülich Supercomputing Center (JSC), the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Bristol and the LAION AI laboratory.Even the best AI large language models (LLMs) fail dramatically when it comes to simple logical questions.
