How do we know what a quantum computer is good for when it hasn’t been built yet? That’s what Ph.D. candidate Casper Gyurik investigated by combining two terms you often hear: quantum computing and machine learning.How do we know what a quantum computer is good for when it hasn’t been built yet?

Virtual assistants, so-called chatbots, have become an integral part of many company websites and are playing an increasingly important corporate role. A study by TU Dresden published in the Journal of Management Information Systems has investigated whether errors made by chatbots lead to aggressive behavior among their users and what influence users’ perceived humanness of the virtual assistants has on their reactions.Virtual assistants, so-called chatbots, have become an integral part of many company websites and are playing an increasingly important corporate role.

The human brain, with its remarkable general intelligence and exceptional efficiency in power consumption, serves as a constant inspiration and aspiration for the field of artificial intelligence. Drawing insights from the brain’s fundamental structure and information processing mechanisms, brain-inspired computing has emerged as a new computational paradigm, poised to steer artificial intelligence from specialized domains towards broader applications in general intelligence.The human brain, with its remarkable general intelligence and exceptional efficiency in power consumption, serves as a constant inspiration and aspiration for the field of artificial intelligence.

Cornell University researchers have developed two technologies that track a person’s gaze and facial expressions through sonar-like sensing. The technology is small enough to fit on commercial smartglasses or virtual reality or augmented reality headsets yet consumes significantly less power than similar tools using cameras.Cornell University researchers have developed two technologies that track a person’s gaze and facial expressions through sonar-like sensing.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already reshaping various industries, from medicine and education to science and finance. AI is set to disrupt yet another market: pornography. Advancements in machine learning and AI algorithms for image and video production have contributed to the growth of websites for AI-generated pornography, commonly referred to as AI porn.Artificial intelligence (AI) is already reshaping various industries, from medicine and education to science and finance.

Time and again, leading scientists, technologists, and philosophers have made spectacularly terrible guesses about the direction of innovation. Even Einstein was not immune, claiming, “There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable,” just 10 years before Enrico Fermi completed construction of the first fission reactor in Chicago. Shortly thereafter, the consensus switched to fears of an imminent nuclear holocaust.Time and again, leading scientists, technologists, and philosophers have made spectacularly terrible guesses about the direction of innovation.
