“A new paper argues that the computing demands of deep learning are so great that progress on tasks like translation and self-driving is likely to slow.” As with all predictions, I think it’s useful to consider the evidence and discount […]
“A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, however, finds that these AI algorithms have serious instability issues. Small structural changes, such as the presence of a small tumour, may not be captured, while tiny, almost […]
AI’s march through the white-collar world continues. “Microsoft is laying off more than 50 journalists to replace them with AI for Microsoft News and MSN. It’s part of a bigger push to rely on AI for news curation on its […]
“In a [2019] study, researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York City show that machine-learning algorithms can predict with reasonable accuracy which patients undergoing total knee or total hip replacement will report a minimally clinically important difference […]
Author: Kai-Fu Lee I read this book mostly on the basis of the authors pedigree. Kai-Fu Lee is a tech rock star. He’s an O.G. of AI research, a tech exec who built Google China, and founder of the VC […]
“Over the next 2 to 5 years, the world around us is about to light up with layer upon layer of rich and dynamic data that you can see and interact with. This magical future ahead is called the Spatial […]

“As a test, the algorithm was given a set of 40 scans from 40 patients it had never studied before. It proved to be 100% accurate at detecting Alzheimer’s disease an average of more than six years prior to a […]
“A big challenge facing Alzheimer’s and dementia researchers today is finding a way to identify patients suffering from the earliest stages of cognitive decline. New research is suggesting that AI could be the key to accurately predicting those patients most […]
