Is AI-Generated Art Really Creative? It Depends On The Presentation
Ai-Da sits behind a desk, paintbrush in hand. She looks up at the person posing for her, and then back down as she dabs another blob of paint onto the canvas. A lifelike portrait is taking shape. If you didn’t know a robot produced it, this portrait could pass as the work of a human …
Foundation Models: 5 Things To Know About The Hottest New Trend In AI
If you’ve seen photos of a teapot shaped like an avocado or read a well-written article that veers off on slightly weird tangents, you may have been exposed to a new trend in artificial intelligence (AI). Machine learning systems called DALL-E, GPT and PaLM are making a splash with their incredible ability to generate creative work. These systems are known as “foundation models” and are not …
AI is Not ‘the Future.’ You Need it Today
How many of you have read the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley or watched the 1920 fictional play R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) by Karel Capek? If you haven’t and you have an inclination towards Artificial Intelligence, you must. That’s where I see the roots of artificial intelligence, stepping out through creative brains. Perhaps, many industry …
Developing Countries Are Being Left Behind In The AI Race – And That’s A Problem For All Of Us
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is much more than just a buzzword nowadays. It powers facial recognition in smartphones and computers, translation between foreign languages, systems which filter spam emails and identify toxic content on social media, and can even detect cancerous tumours. These examples, along with countless other existing and emerging applications of AI, help make …
Researchers Build AI That Builds AI
By using hypernetworks, researchers can now preemptively fine-tune artificial neural networks, saving some of the time and expense of training. Artificial intelligence is largely a numbers game. When deep neural networks, a form of AI that learns to discern patterns in data, began surpassing traditional algorithms 10 years ago, it was because we finally had …
This Horse-Riding Astronaut Is A Milestone In AI’s Journey To Make Sense Of The World
OpenAI’s latest picture-making AI is amazing—but raises questions about what we mean by intelligence. When OpenAI revealed its picture-making neural network DALL-E in early 2021, the program’s human-like ability to combine different concepts in new ways was striking. The string of images that DALL-E produced on demand were surreal and cartoonish, but they showed that the …
AI Predictions For 2022 And Beyond
We have all been down the same train of thought regarding artificial intelligence, thanks to sci-fi films peppered throughout the history of Hollywood: Artificial intelligence is too dangerous. However, as time has proven over and over again, humankind is unable to duplicate the same kind of AI that we see in the movies..yet. Any attempt …
Will Transformers Take Over Artificial Intelligence?
A simple algorithm that revolutionized how neural networks approach language is now taking on vision as well. It may not stop there. Imagine going to your local hardware store and seeing a new kind of hammer on the shelf. You’ve heard about this hammer: It pounds faster and more accurately than others, and in the …
Machine Learning Is Giving Manufacturing A Much-Needed Boost – Here’s How
Researchers surveyed 100 high-performing companies to determine how they successfully use machine learning technologies. The survey studied companies across sectors, looking at their data analytics and tech usage. Those seeing the biggest gains from digital technologies have strong governance, partnerships and data availability, as well as employees trained in machine intelligence. Which companies deploy machine …
Better AI, Unhackable Communication, Spotting Submarines: The Quantum Tech Arms Race Is Heating Up
Quantum technology, which makes use of the surprising and often counterintuitive properties of the subatomic universe, is revolutionising the way information is gathered, stored, shared and analysed. The commercial and scientific potential of the quantum revolution is vast, but it is in national security that quantum technology is making the biggest waves. National governments are …
