When Deirdre Loughridge first began teaching classes on music technology in 2012, there was a lot of talk about how computers were “dehumanizing” music. The general thought among her students then was that computers could not make music.When Deirdre Loughridge first began teaching classes on music technology in 2012, there was a lot of talk about how computers were “dehumanizing” music.

Imagine you’re in an airplane with two pilots, one human and one computer. Both have their “hands” on the controllers, but they’re always looking out for different things. If they’re both paying attention to the same thing, the human gets to steer. But if the human gets distracted or misses something, the computer quickly takes over.Imagine you’re in an airplane with two pilots, one human and one computer.

In contemporary deep learning-based methods for segmenting microscopic images, there’s a heavy reliance on extensive training data that requires detailed annotations. This process is both expensive and labor-intensive. An alternative approach involves using simpler annotations, such as marking the center points of objects. While not as detailed, these point annotations still provide valuable information for image analysis.In contemporary deep learning-based methods for segmenting microscopic images, there’s a heavy reliance on extensive training data that requires detailed annotations.

Doing an experiment with a cake on a cookie sounds simple. But when researchers from the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) developed a unique dataset for combining 2D graphene and 3D tin, the process was all but simple—it required a great deal of computing power.Doing an experiment with a cake on a cookie sounds simple.

Twenty years ago, nanotechnology was the artificial intelligence of its time. The specific details of these technologies are, of course, a world apart. But the challenges of ensuring each technology’s responsible and beneficial development are surprisingly alike. Nanotechnology, which is technologies at the scale of individual atoms and molecules, even carried its own existential risk in the form of “gray goo.”Twenty years ago, nanotechnology was the artificial intelligence of its time.

Pulling inspiration from the natural world, researchers at Colorado State University have developed a trio of robots that can morph their bodies and legs as needed to better crawl, shimmy or swim over difficult terrain.Pulling inspiration from the natural world, researchers at Colorado State University have developed a trio of robots that can morph their bodies and legs as needed to better crawl, shimmy or swim over difficult terrain.[#item_full_content]
