In late September, the German airline Deutsche Lufthansa AG told analysts and investors that it planned to eliminate 4,000 administrative positions by the end of the decade. Among the reasons it cited was “the increased use of artificial intelligence.”In late September, the German airline Deutsche Lufthansa AG told analysts and investors that it planned to eliminate 4,000 administrative positions by the end of the decade.

Just over half (51%) of published novelists in the UK believe that artificial intelligence is likely to end up entirely replacing their work as fiction writers, a new University of Cambridge report shows.Just over half (51%) of published novelists in the UK believe that artificial intelligence is likely to end up entirely replacing their work as fiction writers, a new University of Cambridge report shows.Business[#item_full_content]

Georgia Tech researchers are using AI to quickly train exoskeleton devices, making it much more practical to develop, improve, and ultimately deploy wearable robots for people with impaired mobility.Georgia Tech researchers are using AI to quickly train exoskeleton devices, making it much more practical to develop, improve, and ultimately deploy wearable robots for people with impaired mobility.Robotics[#item_full_content]

Virtual keyboards are a frequent source of frustration for augmented reality (AR) users. The virtual surfaces are slow and error prone, and raising an arm to type on them can cause muscle strain known as “gorilla arm.”Virtual keyboards are a frequent source of frustration for augmented reality (AR) users.

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the go-to method for designing most of today’s physical products. Engineers use CAD to turn 2D sketches into 3D models that they can then test and refine before sending a final version to a production line. But the software is notoriously complicated to learn, with thousands of commands to choose from. To be truly proficient in the software takes a huge amount of time and practice.Computer-aided design (CAD) is the go-to method for designing most of today’s physical products.

A new mega data center is slated to rise in a rural stretch of eastern Germany in what backers hope is a starting point for a European AI sector that can compete with the United States and China.A new mega data center is slated to rise in a rural stretch of eastern Germany in what backers hope is a starting point for a European AI sector that can compete with the United States and China.Hardware[#item_full_content]

Hospitals do not always have the opportunity to collect data in tidy, uniform batches. A clinic may have a handful of carefully labeled images from one scanner while holding thousands of unlabeled scans from other centers, each with different settings, patient mixes and imaging artifacts. That jumble makes a hard task—medical image segmentation—even harder still. Models trained under neat assumptions can stumble when deployed elsewhere, particularly on small, faint or low-contrast targets.Hospitals do not always have the opportunity to collect data in tidy, uniform batches.
