artificial intelligence

This year at CES 2020 Bosch is presenting connected products for mobility and the home. Among the highlights at the trade fair are solutions that either make use of artificial intelligence (AI) or that were developed or manufactured with…

As we’re poised on the brink of truly entering the field of quantum computing, the resources needed to embrace its potential continue to be daunting. Now, an interdisciplinary team of chemists, physicists, and computer scientists at the…

When humans design, they tend to use solutions-based approaches that begin with a needs analysis. They then re-frame the problem, brainstorm ideas, and move on to prototype and test. By showing AI agents progressions in design modification…

If the buzz about artificial intelligence is starting to sound reminiscent of the late days of the dotcom boom, there’s an excellent explanation for the déja vu. Whether you accept Gartner’s Hype Cycle as gospel or think of it as a…

While remote interaction with robots is fairly straightforward, proximate interaction is far harder to get right as we incorporate robots as part of a mixed human:robotic teams. Recently an all-female interdisciplinary group of researchers…

The problem with black box AI systems for automated decision making is that the decision-making process is neither transparent nor is it absolutely free from possible biases the algorithms may inherit from human prejudices hidden in the…

You might remember that the android Data, from Star Trek: The Next Generation couldn’t recognize a joke. He also struggled with reading fellow crewmembers’ emotions, although he never stopped trying. Not surprisingly, these are also…

While we’re still waiting for the flying space cars popularized by The Jetsons in the 1960s, shortly after the 1956 Dartmouth College debut of artificial intelligence (AI) research, autonomous and self-driving cars are finally a reality.…

If you're a parent, then you know the frustration that comes along with telling the difference between your child's cries— wondering if it is hungry, wet, tired, in need of a hug, or perhaps even in pain. Maybe artificial intelligence is…

Designing and discovering new materials has always been a time-consuming and expensive task requiring a great deal of experimentation. Experiments to date have merely scratched the surface of graphene’s billions of structural possibilities.…
