A new study finds that robots can learn from other robots, much the same as humans learn from one another. The paper takes a deep dive into a new approach to growing an area of machine learning (ML) research known as Lifelong Learning (LL).
Humans have learned from one another since the beginning of time. Whether...

AI has arrived and it seems to be everywhere. But what makes AI tick on ultra-low power devices like smartphones? How can we expect to harness not only recommendation engines and Google maps, but also, generative AI and true machine learning on devices that consume only a few watts of power? Let's find out and learn...

The generative AI genie is out of the bottle, and we're still not sure what form this electronic entity will take. Microsoft and Google are both pushing a new version of web search based on AI, and these machines are increasingly being used to generate images, videos, and text that look like they were created by...

Microsoft has announced a wide range of updates to “deliver new AI innovation,” across a variety of its IPs like Bing, Edge, SwiftKey, and Skype. Perhaps the launch which is set to make the biggest splash is the introduction of the Bing Widget, as noted in our headline. This home screen UI hogging widget is coming to...

Microsoft's Bing AI chatbot launched earlier this month and quickly came under heat for giving some quite disturbing answers. Answers varied from telling a New York Times journalist he was not happily married, to stating its desire to steal nuclear codes. The exchanges prompted Microsoft to quickly limit the number of...

Moore’s Law has been at the beating heart of technology advancement ever since it was first posited in 1965. Gordon Moore coined the golden rule which observes and predicts that the number of transistors in a microchip double roughly every two years. This is largely accomplished by making transistors ever smaller, but...

Smartphones have indisputably transformed the way we capture photos and videos of the world around us. We don’t even need to jump back to film’s heyday to make the point, either. Smartphones streamline the process over even standalone digital cameras through Internet connectivity, accessibility, and ease of use. These...

The age-old question of whether the chicken or the egg came first has been answered thanks to DALL-E, an art-generating artificial intelligence that has been showing up on social media everywhere. DALL-E, an amalgamation of Salvador Dali and WALL-E, has taken the internet by storm in the last year, and the trend is...

Google has fired the engineer who claimed an AI chatbot was sentient. The tech giant had placed Blake Lemoine on leave, but has since terminated him due to violating employment and data security policies.
Last month an engineer with Google made headlines, as he claimed Google's LaMDA AI chatbot tool had become...

Anyone who has ever played an online video game has likely received a nasty message from another gamer. Most games incorporate a report button, but it can sometimes feel as if this feature does nothing. A pro esports player and others have recently created an artificial intelligence system that helps AAA studios...

Artificial intelligence is only getting better, and it is only a matter of time until our robot overlords take over. Until then, Sony and Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital have partnered to make their AI better at racing. We have definitely been impressed by the amazing leaps done by their teams and they have...

Meta has not made it a secret it intends to expand its metaverse to include new projects and products. It seems Mark Zuckerberg wants one of those new ventures to include helping robots experience and understand the world as flesh and blood humans do, through touch interaction. Or maybe Zuck pines to be human. Either...

In 2014, it was established that the U.S. Copyright Office would "not register works produced by nature, animals, plants, or through divine or supernatural spirits." This declaration stemmed from a monkey who took a selfie and a photographer who thought they had the rights to the image. We are now facing a similar...

The human brain is enormously complex, and cracking the code of its intricacies in its entirety might never be accomplished. However, there have been loads of interesting research related to brain activity. Most recently, a team of researchers say they developed a deep learning framework that is able to decode sensory...

Artificial intelligence is likely going to be a cornerstone of technology in the future. Until then, it needs to be improved, trained, and implemented well. Video games are an excellent way to train an AI due to the various paths and steps that can be taken, but it required some work to do. Now, the team at DeepMind...

The United States Patent and Trademark Office recently ruled that only flesh and blood humans can be granted patents, not artificial intelligence systems, thus ensuring that a Skynet scenario will play out (you didn't think I'd talk about AI without a Skynet reference, did you? Pshaw!). Now it faces a lawsuit over its...

Previously, we reported on artificial intelligence being pitted against human pilots in a head to head dogfight challenge. The event has now concluded, with the AI going undefeated in five rounds of air-to-air combat, handily beating the human opponent in the final round.
At the open of this multi-day event, eight...

Who needs earbuds when you can simply listen to your favorite songs in your head? Elon Musk recently provided more information about the mysterious Neuralink. Neuralink will reportedly be able to provide users with “enhanced abilities and reasoning” and allow them to stream music straight to their brains.
