What the heck is machine learning, and why is it everywhere these days?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, ignoring every big tech advance in the past decade, you’ve probably heard of machine learning.
This is the year 2022, according to old sci-fi movies
We watched all the old sci-fi movies that are set in the year 2022. Here's all the wild, crazy, and surprisingly accurate stuff they predicted!
Will Google ever lose its throne as king of search? You.com is betting on it
Dozens of companies have tried to disrupt Google's search dominance, and none have really succeeded -- but You.com thinks it has an approach that could work.
The funny formula: Why machine-generated humor is the holy grail of A.I.
A.I. can beat us at games like chess, Jeopardy!, and even poker -- but it still can't tell a good joke. Here's why humor is such a huge challenge for machines.
Language supermodel: How GPT-3 is quietly ushering in the A.I. revolution
GPT-3 is best known as a text-generating system, but now that it's out in the wild, it's being used for far more than just written words.
This cockroach-inspired rescue bot could save your life one day
Despite being the size of a cockroach, UC Berkeley's clever new rescue robot could help save humans buried in rubble. Here's a look at how it works.
That turtle is a gun! MIT scientists highlight major flaw in image recognition
Researchers from MIT have 3D printed a turtle that can fool image recognition algorithms into thinking it's a rifle. Here's why that's scary.
After weeks spent watching porn, this neural network can identify adult film stars
Neural nets have brought us self-driving cars, machine translation, and now an AI that identifies porn stars from their pictures.
An artificial synapse on a chip is able to learn autonomously
This artificial synapse on a chip learns just like the human brain and could help make mobile processors better at running neural networks.
A.I. is getting scary good at generating fake humans. Watch this demo
Researchers from Japan have shown off a new artificial intelligence system that is able to create photorealistic, high-res videos of people who don't actually exist outside of a computer. Here's how its Adversarial Generative Network technology works -- and what this advance means.
MIT and IBM’s new A.I. image-editing tool lets you paint with neurons
Imagine Photoshop for the deep fake generation. No, we're not quite there yet, but researchers at IBM and MIT have created an amazing demo showing how cutting-edge A.I. is going to power future image-editing tools. Check out their demonstration -- and have a go for yourself.
Image-recognition A.I. has a big weakness. This could be the solution
Image-recognition A.I. can be duped fairly easily with adversarial images designed specifically to confuse them, but that might not be the case for much longer.
Faces generated with neural networks are the trippiest thing you’ll see all day
A project created in the free time of a Google engineer uses artificial intelligence to generate realistic images of human faces.
Like an A.I. acid trip, this neural net rebuilds reality with flowers and fire
This artist has created a deep learning neural network which views the world entirely as flowers, waves, fire or sky. The results are kind of beautiful.
MIT researchers are working to create neural networks that are no longer black boxes
Researchers at MIT are working to show that it is possible to train a neural network in such a way that it rationalizes its decisions.
Machine learning? Neural networks? Here’s your guide to the many flavors of A.I.
Don't know your machine learning from your evolutionary algorithms? Our handy A.I. buzzword guide is here to help.
Intel’s incredible athlete-tracking A.I. is the ‘holy grail’ of training tech
3DAT, Intel's athlete-tracking A.I., was built to boost the viewer experience at the Olympics, and it has huge potential as a training tool for elite athletes.
The most infamous failures in tech history, immortalized as desk toys
Thanks to the mischievous NYC-based art collective MSCHF, you can now purchase small-scale replicas of some of Silicon Valley's most egregious failures
Here’s what a trend-analyzing A.I. thinks will be the next big thing in tech
The "technology intelligence engine" uses A.I. to sift through hundreds of millions of documents online, then uses all that information to spot trends.
