“Pinterest Inc. is boosting its user and ad-revenue numbers at a much faster pace than most of its social-media peers—and it has artificial intelligence to thank for it.” | learn more
There’s a great explainer video of the protein-folding problem included in this write-up. “In a major scientific advance, the latest version of our AI system AlphaFold has been recognised as a solution to the protein folding problem by the organisers […]
Wow! “In a paper published recently … the [MIT] team reports on an AI model that distinguishes asymptomatic people from healthy individuals through forced-cough recordings, which people voluntarily submitted through web browsers and devices such as cellphones and laptops.” | learn more
I came here for the colorized and sharpened San Francisco, a Trip down Market Street, and it was great. There is also upgraded old footage from France, Japan and the Moon! | learn more
Elon Musk’s side-project-turned-company working to merge humans with AI did a show & tell of its latest progress. I liked this write-up because it explained piece by piece how everything works. | learn more
“In five rounds, an artificially-intelligent agent showed that it could outshoot other AI’s, and a human. So what happens next with AI in air combat?” | learn more
Rob May offers an interesting line of thinking. “The laws of economics aren’t fixed forever. As AI impacts society in many ways, and as AI makes more decisions for humans that we no longer make ourselves, it is very possible the […]
“GPT-3, which stands for “Gaussian Process Tracking 3,” is a language processing model – or a text generator – based on Artificial Intelligence. It can predict the next word in a sentence if it is given a few words. This […]
“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 […]
