Intelligent Machines

“The most important shot is the next one.”

Technology has advanced far and wide over the years, and artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a tale that is yet to be unfolded. For example, operating the internet is proof that AI has come so far as to gratify most of our needs. By looking at the rate at which technological advancements are gaining the attention of the masses, it is safe to say that the future of AI is rather very bright.

Previously, artificial intelligence (AI) was only limited to technology and huge corporations, but now it has proven to be a valuable asset in health, medicine, finance, eCommerce, and a variety of other industries. Also, AI can now be accessed even by small businesses and individuals.

Robots may be a big part of the future. They are projected to become more and more common in public and maybe even in domestic life in the next few decades. This could be a boon in terms of labor-reduction, daily support, and assistance and care for the vulnerable and infirm for humanity.

The sequencing of ancient Neanderthal and Denisovan fossils supported introgression events into anatomically modern humans (AMH) (out of Africa). However, recent studies also support the presence of gene flow from AMH into Neanderthals, thus suggesting a complex hominin evolution.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) for this year showcased a number of unusual products, from a prototype drone taxi to Hyundai’s walking car. However, one of the most irregular events associated with the show was the apparent maiming of a robot by a Tesla Model S. This car was in autonomous mode at the time and knocked an AI-powered android down as it happened to be crossing the road, or so it seems...

If a flying car doesn't really appeal to you, how about a flying bike? A California company is apparently on the verge of making this dream a reality.

ClaRAN was created by a big data specialist Dr. Chen Wu and astronomer Dr. Ivy Wong, from The University of Western Australia’s International Center for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR).

Most modern smartphones have multi-finger touch sensitivity. This means a device can distinguish as many as ten individual fingers when users are touching its screen. But what would a phone do with a finger of its own?

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” -Thomas A. Edison When we try to predict the future, our hypothesis deviates from reality. But it’s very important for humanity to have goals that we want to achieve, which is the main reason for our existence. Alternately, the human race can have a special kind of evolution, beyond its current physical and mental limitations, which is known as transhumanism.

Skydio’s drone is reported to have “self-flying” capabilities. The drone, R1, is capable of locking-on to an individual and following them while shooting videos and avoiding obstacles, simultaneously.

“The logic of the world is prior to all truth and falsehood.” - Ludwig Wittgenstein Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers, specifically, a data science team from the Loughborough University are developing a model that has the extraordinary ability to detect a variety of illnesses, just by smelling the human breath.
