Neural Network

They may be better known for stir-fries than supercomputing, but shiitake mushrooms have now been harnessed to function as living processors, storing and recalling data like a semiconductor chip but with almost no environmental footprint.

Researchers at Cornell University have developed an electronic chip that they describe as a "microwave brain." The simplified chip is analog rather than digital, yet can process ultrafast data and wireless communication signals simultaneously.

Meta researchers have developed a wristband that translates your hand gestures into commands to easily interact with a computer, including moving a cursor, and even transcribing your handwriting in the air into text.

Unlike current translation devices that focus on one speaker, researchers have just developed a pair of headphones that can determine how many people are speaking, follow them through space, and translate each person's words as a separate stream.

Every day new articles about "revolutionary breakthrough!" in AI hit my screen. The latest headline was "Torque Clustering" and "autonomous AI is on the horizon." But is it really? I did a deep dive with simple analogies to figure it out.

Unpredictable monster waves at sea can severely damage ships and offshore platforms, putting the lives of those who work on them at risk. A new system out of the University of Maryland uses a neural network to provide valuable early-warning alerts.

Instead of equipping its sharp-looking GR-1 general purpose humanoid with a full next-gen sensor suite including such things as radar and LiDAR, Fourier Intelligence's engineers have gone vision-only.

Australian researchers are putting together a supercomputer designed to emulate the world's most efficient learning machine – a neuromorphic monster capable of the same estimated 228 trillion synaptic operations per second that human brains handle.

Following years of controversy, including whistleblowers reporting of rushed experimental “hack jobs” that resulted in as many as 1,500 animal fatalities, Elon Musk's brain-chip implant company has begun recruiting for its landmark first human trial.

Even with convincing deep fakes causing record-label panic and a flurry of new AI tech garnering plenty of interest, we’re still at the very beginning of learning just how modern machine learning will change art and pop culture, for both good and bad.

A robot cook has been trained to recreate dishes after watching videos of a human assembling meals from several ingredients, and even created one AI original. Some good news for chefs: it looks like you've got some time before AI takes your jobs too.

Computers destroy humans at chess, but there's not a single one that could go into a house and feed the dog. Intel's research-grade Loihi 2 neuromorphic chips are working on it though, drawing inspiration from nature's greatest necktop supercomputer.
