When a doctor prescribes a patient more than one drug they have no way to predict whether that combination will have an adverse side effect. A new system from Stanford University presents a novel solution – an AI-driven computer system than can predict the consequences of combining two drugs.

So-called "camera traps" – motion-activated cameras that automatically take photos of passing wildlife – are a great way of determining the type and number of animals present in a given area. Now, they could prove even more useful, thanks to a new artificial intelligence (AI) system.

There are now attachments that let you capture microscope images with a smartphone. Unfortunately, the limitations of the phone's lens and image sensor mean that those images still won't be as good as those from a lab-grade microscope. That could change, however, thanks to a recent advance in AI.

CCTV systems may help security personnel watch for handguns in places such as airports, but the task of manually scrutinizing every person on every screen is still a daunting one. It was with this in mind that researchers recently developed a system that automatically recognizes guns on video.

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a robot that uses deep learning to create its own compositions and then bashes them out on the wooden blocks. Do today's great (human) composers have something to worry about? Let's meet Shimon to find out.
