Researchers Use Artificial Intelligence To Study Elephant Calls – NPR

The Elephant Listening Project has been listening to elephant calls for 20 years to learn more about animals. But identifying the calls used to be laborious — until scientists used AI. Source: https://www.npr.org/2020/07/31/897836741/researchers-use-artificial-intelligence-to-study-elephant-calls

We’ve forgotten the most important thing about AI. It’s time to remember it again

In the 18th century, Hungarian inventor Wolfgang von Kempelen created a never-before-seen chess-playing machine. The automaton, called the Mechanical Turk, could handle a game of chess against a human player, and pretty well with that: it even defeated Napoleon Bonaparte in 1809, during a campaign in Vienna. It was eventually revealed that von Kempelen’s invention…

Machine learning reveals recipe for building artificial proteins

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Proteins are essential to the life of cells, carrying out complex tasks and catalyzing chemical reactions. Scientists and engineers have long sought to harness this power by designing artificial proteins that can perform new tasks, like treat disease, capture carbon, or harvest energy, but many of the processes designed to create…

How India is using Artificial Intelligence to combat COVID-19 – THE WEEK

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been one of the biggest technology success stories of the past decade. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe, researchers and entrepreneurs stepped up to devise new ways to combat it.

How AI and ML Applications Will Benefit from Vector Processing – EnterpriseAI

As expected, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications are already having an impact on society. Many industries that we tap into daily—such as banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), and digitized health care—can benefit from AI and ML applications to help them optimize mission-critical operations and execute functions in real time. The BFSI…

AI & Autonomous Bots In The Army: Insights From John Fossaceca, APM For AI & ML, US Army Research Laboratory (ARL)

When the average person thinks about AI and robots what often comes to mind are post-apocalyptic visions of scary, super-intelligent machines taking over the world, or even the universe. The Terminator movie series is a good reflection of this fear of AI, with the core technology behind the intelligent machines powered by Skynet, referred to…
