Artificial Intelligence and Societal Roles The use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) continues to expand into aspects of our lives. From shopping to health care, everyone has benefited from the implementation of such technology. Artificial intelligence is the ability of a machine to display human-like behavior in areas such as learning, reasoning, and creativity. Should machines […]
Omar Maddouri, a doctoral student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University, is working with Dr. Byung-Jun Yoon, professor, and Dr. Edward Dougherty, Robert M. Kennedy ’26 Chair Professor, to evaluate machine-learning models using transfer learning principles. Dr. Francis “Frank” Alexander with Brookhaven National Labs and Dr. Xiaoning Qian from […]
The National Institutes of Health has called COVID-19 testing “the key to getting back to normal.” Yet testing rates have dropped nationwide, even as the Delta and Omicron variants accelerated the virus’ spread. West Virginia University researchers Brian Hendricks and Brad Price are using machine learning and geographic information systems to identify communities in West […]
Prediction of crop yield is an essential task for maximizing the global food supply, particularly in developing countries. This study investigated lettuce yield prediction using four machine learning models, namely, support vector regressor, extreme gradient boosting, random forest, and deep neural network. It was cultivated in three hydroponics systems, which interacted with three different magnetic […]
In today’s digital age, it’s clear that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) will be a part of all digital transformation journeys – including those of government.In fact, the Federal government was projected to spend $3 billion on AI and ML technologies in 2021 and planned to invest more than $6 billion in AI-related […]
(Peshkova/Shutterstock) There’s an old saying that applies well to artificial intelligence and the data that powers it: “Garbage in, garbage out.” Gartner found that only 47% of ML/AI models go from prototype to production. These models are complex, with many elements affecting their success. For instance, if you create models to expand your market share, […]
Artificial intelligence technology is all over the place. Congratulations: you’ve interacted with artificial intelligence technologies if you’ve Googled something, opened your phone using face recognition, or accepted auto correct while messaging in the last 24 hours. It’s becoming more common in everyday life, and major corporations such as Apple, Microsoft, and Meta are aggressively investing in artificial intelligence and […]
Asia-Pacific was the fastest-growing region in the food industry’s hiring for jobs related to machine learning in the three months ending December, according to GlobalData analysis. The number of roles in Asia-Pacific made up 26.9% of total machine learning jobs – up from 17.7% in the same quarter of 2020. GlobalData tracks the number of […]
Hailey-based Power Engineers recently joined several other companies in investing in Buzz Solutions, a start-up that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and drone technology to identify problems in electrical transmission and distribution lines that could lead to wildfires.“Power and Buzz plan to collaborate over the coming years to further develop the capabilities of Buzz’s AI and […]
Computers have been taught to use data to establish patterns where possible. And while the delegation of these activities to machines has helped mankind in many ways, bias still exists in technologies such as artificial intelligence. For instance, there are biases in facial recognition systems, according to Alex Hanna (pictured), director of research at The Distributed AI […]
