Wireless ‘Clearbuds’ Use Machine Learning For Better Sound
“Clearbuds,” a new kind of wireless earbud, enhance a speaker’s voice and reduce background noise, researchers report. Clearbuds use a microphone system and one of the first machine-learning systems to operate in real time and run on a smartphone. Researchers were inspired to do the work as meetings shifted online during the COVID-19 lockdown and …
How To Investigate When A Robot Causes An Accident – And Why It’s Important That We Do
Robots are featuring more and more in our daily lives. They can be incredibly useful (bionic limbs, robotic lawnmowers, or robots which deliver meals to people in quarantine), or merely entertaining (robotic dogs, dancing toys, and acrobatic drones). Imagination is perhaps the only limit to what robots will be able to do in the future. …
Give This AI A Few Words Of Description And It Produces A Stunning Image – But Is It Art?
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but thanks to an artificial intelligence program called DALL-E 2, you can have a professional-looking image with far fewer. DALL-E 2 is a new neural network algorithm that creates a picture from a short phrase or sentence that you provide. The program, which was announced by the …
How Businesses Should Respond To The EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act

Proving AI produces measurable value in your sector will be key. The EU strikes again with a new set of regulations that take aim at the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to address the …
8 Surprising Things Data Science Has Revealed About Us Over The Past Decade
Big data analysis has long supported major feats in physics and astronomy. But more recently we’ve seen it underpin breakthroughs in the social sciences and humanities. Since the landmark paper Computational Social Science was published in 2009, a new generation of data analytics tools has given researchers insight into fundamental questions about how we communicate, …
Internet Data Produce A Racist, Sexist Robot
A robot operating with a popular internet-based artificial intelligence system consistently gravitates to men over women, white people over people of color, and jumps to conclusions about peoples’ jobs after a glance at their face. The work is believed to be the first to show that robots loaded with an accepted and widely used model …
Uniting Human Brains And Computers: A New Type Of AI
Why are we on the verge of creating a technology that will combine the computer with the human nervous system into a single complex? How will a person change after connecting with an electronic machine? Can a computer system handle the flood of data from billions of living neurons? I will try to answer these …
Machine Learning Is Important, But Some AIs Just Want To Have Fun
This video by the French computer programmer Damien Henry is a clever visual demonstration of machine learning – a term coined by the US computer scientist Arthur Samuel (1901-1990) to describe an algorithm that gives computers the ‘ability to learn without being explicitly programmed’. Using several videos recorded from windows during train rides, Henry trained an algorithm …
