Intelligent Machines

Feature Labs, a startup that began at MIT in 2015, was initiated with the primary purpose of helping data scientists build machine learning (ML) algorithms that run much faster.

The soldiers of today have an extraordinary advantage of learning about thirteen times faster than their predecessors did with conventional methods. Scientists have developed artificially intelligent (AI) systems that could help soldiers in combat, learn faster with the help of innovative equipment. Dating back to the beginning of AI, it is possible to see the exponential growth of machines in terms of new and improved innovations.

Synthetic limbs, i.e., for those individuals without arms or legs, are getting better in terms of form and function.

The evolution of automated machines and the continuous improvements to robots, recently, has intensified the debate on their impact on social structure and the future of humans. AI: Friend or Foe? The first major concern is whether robots will replace humans in the workplace, bringing the end of work, as we know it.

Many scientists agree that the future is microbotic – and possibly also nanobotic. They argue that fleets of tiny robots can offer a great deal of benefit to many industries, including healthcare and national defense. However, these robotic swarms will need a lot of power to achieve their ends. An alternative energy sources It’s thought that electricity from conventional sources may not cut it for the purpose of powering these tiny robots.

One of the many reasons that companies choose to automate some of their systems is to reduce human error and ensure a consistent quality of product. Whilst it might seem surprising to think of that same logic being applied to the training of racehorses, that’s exactly what’s been implemented at one racehorse stud in the Lambourn, an area of the UK famous for racing.

As if airlines misplacing your luggage isn’t enough, many of us are guilty, at some point in our travels, of losing track of our own bags in the airport. Also, lifting heavy weights across the lengths of terminals is so passé. So, we asked for a solution, and they delivered!

In a lot of cases, robots are considered to be useful additions to our everyday lives, making mundane tasks easier and more efficient. Many of us worry, and perhaps rightly so, that potentially using robots instead of human workers could also impact job security. Some estimates say that up to 30 percent of tasks in an average job could easily be automated.

Once in a while, a gadget comes along which somehow manages to tug at our heartstrings, even though we know that in reality, it’s just a clever combination of robotics and Artificial Intelligence. Sony’s newly released Aibo puppy is just one of those gadgets.

Suicide and its prevention is becoming an increasingly prevalent health concern. Fatal self-harm is the leading cause of death for men over 45, and its incidence among younger people is also on the rise.

Artificial intelligence (AI), in the forms of deep or machine learning, is apparently carving a niche for itself in the diagnosis of human cancer. More and more studies are demonstrating its potential in the detection of a number of tumour types.

Google and DeepMind’s AlphaZero has just taught itself to play chess in four hours. Not only that, but it then went on to easily defeat the current computer champion.
