Robots for everyday life are called service robots – and the requirements for them are much tougher than for industrial manipulators. Preferred Networks will help create a new generation of flexible and safe assistants (humanoid robots) to a Japanese company. Until the Japanese turned into cyborgs, “ordinary” robotics remains one Read more…
Startup DeepMind became famous thanks to the algorithm that defeated chess grandmasters and go champions. Now the founder and CEO Demis Hassabis intends to use resources to solve complex scientific problems. The first will be the prediction of protein structures after self-assembly. In living organisms, proteins perform many functions, including Read more…
Researchers from California are developing a new scheme that will help ai learn through positive reinforcement – just like the human brain does. Only this will reveal the potential of the technology, they are sure. In order to fully realize its potential, artificial intelligence must not only perform as many Read more…
Chinese schools and universities are increasingly using algorithms and ai education systems. Already, they are helping students to show the best scores on the exam. But it is not yet clear whether they will improve the entire education system. Most experts believe that artificial intelligence will play an important role Read more…
Specialists at the Allen Institute of Artificial Intelligence (AI2) propose the introduction of new metrics for evaluating the effectiveness of neural networks. At the current rate, their contribution to energy consumption and global warming will soon become significant. So AI needs to be put at the service of society, not Read more…
The world’s leading supermarket chain is trying to reinvent shopping – by using autonomous cars wherever possible. Four-wheeled trolleys – for delivery to customers, Waymo autonomous robotic vehicles – for trips to the supermarket for orders, and Gatik vans must ensure quick delivery of the order from one store to Read more…
The tool supports more than 20 programming languages and can be integrated into most popular code editors. The algorithm is an example of the useful application of the “fake news editor” from OpenAI. We have long been accustomed to the auto-complete function and text editors appending the words started by Read more…
The IBM company hopes that scientists use these algorithms to learn more about cancer and quickly find new treatments for it. One of the algorithms reveals the most promising among chemical compounds. IBM is actively developing new approaches to medicine based on artificial intelligence, and this week the company announced Read more…
Google maps service would not be so useful if it didn’t use machine learning. For four years, special algorithms have been adding relevant information to maps and improving image quality. In order for Google Maps to remain relevant and useful to users, they need to be updated regularly. However, manually Read more…
Pilot project – urgent shipment of medical samples. In the future, one of the main cargo delivery companies in the United States plans to use drones for the delivery of regular parcels. UPS Postal Services has applied for commercial operation of UAVs to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). UPS Flight Read more…
