AI helps patients to get more rest while reducing staff workload

A team from Feinstein Institutes for Research thinks AI could be key to helping patients get more rest while reducing the burden on healthcare staff. Everyone knows how important adequate sleep is for recovery. However, patients in pain – or just insomniacs like me – can struggle to get the sleep they need. “Rest is […]

When AI Sees a Man, It Thinks ‘Official.’ A Woman? ‘Smile’

Men often judge women by their appearance. Turns out, computers do too. When US and European researchers fed pictures of congressmembers to Google’s cloud image recognition service, the service applied three times as many annotations related to physical appearance to photos of women as it did to men. The top labels applied to men were […]

Robotic AI learns to be spontaneous

Autonomous functions for robots, such as spontaneity, are highly sought after. Many control mechanisms for autonomous robots are inspired by the functions of animals, including humans. Roboticists often design robot behaviors using predefined modules and control methodologies, which makes them task-specific, limiting their flexibility. Researchers offer an alternative machine learning-based method for designing spontaneous behaviors […]

AI tool may predict movies’ future ratings

Movie ratings can determine a movie’s appeal to consumers and the size of its potential audience. Thus, they have an impact on a film’s bottom line. Typically, humans do the tedious task of manually rating a movie based on viewing the movie and making decisions on the presence of violence, drug abuse and sexual content. […]

Microsoft’s new AI auto-captions images for the visually impaired

A new AI from Microsoft aims to automatically caption images in documents and emails so that software for visual impairments can read it out. Researchers from Microsoft explained their machine learning model in a paper on preprint repository arXiv. The model uses VIsual VOcabulary pre-training (VIVO) which leverages large amounts of paired image-tag data to […]

Researchers create AI bot to protect the identities of BLM protesters

An AI-powered bot has been developed by Stanford researchers to automatically cover up the faces of Black Lives Matter demonstrators in pictures. Everybody should be allowed to protest. And if done lawfully, to do so without fear of ruining items such as their opportunities for potential jobs because they were snapped at a protest, from […]

Musk predicts AI will be superior to humans within five years

Elon Musk has made another of his trademark predictions – this time, it’s that AI will be superior to humans within five years. Musk has been among the most vocal prominent figures in warning about the dangers of artificial intelligence. In 2018, for example, Musk famously warned that AI could become “an immortal dictator from […]

Birdwatching from afar: Amazing new AI-enabled camera system to target specific behaviors

An innovative new animal-borne data collection system has been developed by a research team from Osaka University that, driven by artificial intelligence ( AI), has led to the witnessing of previously unreported foraging behaviours in seabirds. Bio-logging is a process that requires mounting on the bodies of wild animals small lightweight video cameras and/or other […]

Dog training techniques help researchers teach robots new tricks to learn.

Johns Hopkins University computer scientists taught a robot how to teach itself some new tricks, including stacking bricks, with a conditioning method typically used to teach dogs to sit and stay. The robot, called Spot, was able to learn in days what usually takes a month with the technique. The team significantly enhanced the robot […]

A new approach to artificial intelligence that builds in uncertainty

Artificial intelligence, they call it — not that the intelligence is somehow fake. It’s true intelligence, but humans also make it. That implies that AI — a power tool that can add speed, effectiveness, insight and precision to the work of a researcher — has many limitations. It is only as strong as the techniques […]

Tool for predicting pedestrian flow expands its reach

When urban development takes place, a traffic impact assessment is often needed before a project is approved: What will happen to auto traffic if a new apartment building or business complex is constructed, or if a road is widened? On the other hand, new developments affect foot traffic as well — and yet few places study the effects of urban change on pedestrians.

AI Weekly: EU facial recognition ban highlights need for U.S. legislation

This week, The European Parliament, the body responsible for adopting European Union (EU) legislation, passed a non-binding resolution calling for a ban on law enforcement use of facial recognition technology in public places. The resolution, which also proposes a moratorium on the deployment of predictive policing software, would restrict the use of remote biometric identification unless it’s to fight “serious” crime, such as kidnapping and terrorism.
