Artificial Intelligence

Scientists have developed a new AI-powered tool that could make finding unexploded bombs a lot easier, with an ability to detect craters through satellite imagery and therefore help reveal where the undetonated devices might remain.

Shimon the robot is a marimba-mashing musical maestro we first saw back in 2017. Now he’s learned to sing, dance, write lyrics and compose his own melodies – and he’s about to go on tour to promote his first album.

Bacteria are evolving resistance to antibiotics much faster than new drugs can be developed. Now, an artificial intelligence model has identified a powerful new antibiotic called halicin, which cleared infections of most superbugs in mouse tests.

New Atlas talks to research scientist Janelle Shane about the inherent oddness of neural networks and other AIs. Shane's sideline in experimenting with neural networks led her to write "You Look Like a Thing and I Love You."

While some vehicles now utilize computer vision systems to "see" items such as road signs, the urban environment consists not only of sights, but also sounds. With that in mind, German scientists are creating a noise-recognition system for cars.

Camcon's Intelligent Valve Technology (IVT) replaces the camshaft with electric actuators for precise digital control over the air charge of any engine. Now, the company's focus is shifting from cars to heavy diesels and artificial intelligence.

In-car satnav systems and mobile mapping apps have made it much easier to travel from one place to another without getting lost, but a new innovation promises to help fix a remaining pain point – getting in the right lane at intersections.

One of the most difficult challenges for artificial intelligence systems is predicting the weather – with an almost infinite number of variables to assess and model. But Google says its AI is making progress in the accuracy of its "nowcasts."

While many consumers have just settled into life with 4K TVs, the industry is already charging ahead to 8K. At CES 2020 this week, the race is beginning to heat up as Samsung and LG both show off their latest 8K TVs.

A new AI system is proving more effective at detecting breast cancer in mammograms than trained radiologists. The software, developed by researchers from Google, is not designed to replace humans but instead improve current diagnostic processes.

Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) can be difficult for soldiers to detect, as they're made in a variety of shapes and sizes, and are typically buried in the road. A new vehicle-mounted system, however, is designed to "spot the signs" of IEDs.

Given how deadly and destructive lightning can be, it would certainly be good to know in advance where and when it was going to strike. A new artificial intelligence-based system could help, utilizing nothing but standard weather-station data.
