“Three years after IBM began selling Watson for Oncology to recommend cancer treatments, it’s falling short of the lofty expectations IBM created for it.” After reading this, I feel like the criticisms are valid, but mostly a mismatch of marketing […]
German AI startup TwentyBN has created an AI algorithm that can identify what’s happening in a video stream in real time. An example: “Trying to pour water into a cup, but missing so it spills next to it.” They claim […]
I’ll admit it – I’m guilty of being over-enthusiastic about AI ever since reading Nick Bostrom’s Superintelligence a few years ago. Robotics engineer and AI smarty-pants Rodney Brooks published this post in the MIT Technology Review that pours some much-needed cold water […]
These days, SoftBank’s outsized investments in tech companies regularly make the news. The uniting concept behind them all is less apparent, however. This NYT article helps put them in context – the plan is to get ahead of, and profit […]
