An artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been developed to enable camera-based autonomous vehicles to perceive their surroundings more accurately. This innovative approach utilizes the geometric concept of the vanishing point—an artistic device that conveys depth and perspective in images.An artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been developed to enable camera-based autonomous vehicles to perceive their surroundings more accurately.

Many modern artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as surgical robotics and real-time financial trading, depend on the ability to quickly extract key features from streams of raw data. This process is currently bottlenecked by traditional digital processors. The physical limits of conventional electronics prevent the reduction in latency and the gains in throughput required in emerging data-intensive services.Many modern artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as surgical robotics and real-time financial trading, depend on the ability to quickly extract key features from streams of raw data.

Biotech Nephrogen combines AI and gene therapy to reverse kidney disease — check it out at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025
When Demetri Maxim was seven years old, his mother’s kidneys stopped working. She was put on dialysis, which meant that she had to go to the hospital four times a week to have her blood filtered by a machine since her own kidneys could no longer function independently. Two years later, Maxim’s mother received a […]When Demetri Maxim was seven years old, his mother’s kidneys stopped working.

Computer programming powers modern society and enabled the AI revolution, but little is known about how our brains learn this essential skill. To help answer that question, Johns Hopkins University researchers studied the brain activity of university students before and after they learned how to code.Computer programming powers modern society and enabled the AI revolution, but little is known about how our brains learn this essential skill.

As far back as 1980, the American philosopher John Searle distinguished between strong and weak AI. Weak AIs are merely useful machines or programs that help us solve problems, whereas strong AIs would have genuine intelligence. A strong AI would be conscious.As far back as 1980, the American philosopher John Searle distinguished between strong and weak AI.
