When you visit a doctor, information such as medication prescriptions, X-rays, and genetic tests is recorded to assist the physician. In these cases, a technology called federated learning, or collaborative learning, is used to reduce the risk of exposing sensitive data. This technology allows multiple devices to work together without sharing actual data with each other.When you visit a doctor, information such as medication prescriptions, X-rays, and genetic tests is recorded to assist the physician.

Salva Health wants to lower breast cancer mortality with its affordable screening device
Six years ago, while researching for a college entrepreneurship competition, Valentina Agudelo identified a troubling gap in breast cancer survival rates between Latin America and the developed world, with women in her native Colombia and the rest of the continent dying at higher rates due to late detection. She realized that breast cancer is highly […]

Narada AI’s enterprise agent will use workplace tools for you
There’s no shortage of startups trying to create enterprise AI assistants. What’s less common is an AI assistant that can actually execute tasks across several of your work apps at once. That’s the promise of Narada AI, a startup building an AI assistant based on new research out of UC Berkeley. Narada has been operating […]

CTGT aims to make AI models safer
Growing up as an immigrant, Cyril Gorlla taught himself how to code — and practiced as if a man possessed. “I aced my mother’s community college programming course at 11, amidst periodically disconnected household utilities,” he told TechCrunch. In high school, Gorlla learned about AI, and became so obsessed with the idea of training his […]

In 2014, the British philosopher Nick Bostrom published a book about the future of artificial intelligence (AI) with the ominous title Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies. It proved highly influential in promoting the idea that advanced AI systems—”superintelligences” more capable than humans—might one day take over the world and destroy humanity.In 2014, the British philosopher Nick Bostrom published a book about the future of artificial intelligence (AI) with the ominous title Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies.

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a new robot inspired by one of the most intelligent aquatic animals on Earth: the octopus. This robot, presented in a paper published on the arXiv pre-print server, could be used both to complete real-world tasks underwater and to study the bio-mechanical underpinnings of octopus swimming.Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a new robot inspired by one of the most intelligent aquatic animals on Earth: the octopus.

Robots can navigate efficiently through crowds of people by cleverly alternating between independent and cooperative behavior, and in such a way that they disturb the people around them as little as possible. This is the result of a study by TU Professor Roderich Groß posted to the arXiv preprint server.Robots can navigate efficiently through crowds of people by cleverly alternating between independent and cooperative behavior, and in such a way that they disturb the people around them as little as possible.
