In a state of "hyperwar," accidents or unexpected AI decisions could lead to widespread devastation before humans could intervene.
The initial goal of AI was to create machines that think like humans. But that is not what happened at all.
Despite their brief history, computers and AI have fundamentally changed what we see, what we know, and what we do.
The AI test can be done every night at home while the person is asleep, without even touching their body.
It is all too easy for humans to fall into the cognitive trap of thinking that an entity that can use language fluently is sentient or intelligent.
AI systems can carry on convincing conversations, but they have no understanding of what they're saying. Humans are easily fooled.
The engineer working on Google's AI, called LaMDA, suffers from what we could call Michelangelo Syndrome. Scientists must beware hubris.
“We didn’t build anything face-ish into our network [but] managed to segregate themselves without being given a face-specific nudge.”
One research group's AI-based drug discovery platform could be redesigned to discover VX nerve agent and 40,000 similar chemical weapons.
Until robots understand jokes and sarcasm, artificial general intelligence will remain in the realm of science fiction.
Upskilling prepares today’s workforce for tomorrow’s opportunities, positioning organizations for success in the future.
A new “common-sense” approach to computer vision enables artificial intelligence that interprets scenes more accurately than other systems do.
A new control system, demonstrated using MIT’s robotic mini cheetah, enables four-legged robots to jump across uneven terrain in real-time.
We can do so much more, so much faster, with the same data. When you think about how astronomy works, you probably think about observers pointing telescopes at objects, collecting data […]
A new survey, the DESI Legacy Imaging Survey, has found more lenses than all others put together. One of Einstein’s most revolutionary predictions is that mass bends light. During a […]
