Image by Editor machine learning is a field of learning patterns through data without any need for explicitly programming or hand-written rules. It’s a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science. Before machine learning became mainstream, programmers wrote rules derived from a function of their domain knowledge, observation of some hand-picked instances, and the […]

This episode originally aired on July 20, 2022. Advanced computer programs influence, and can even dictate, meaningful parts of our lives. Think streaming services, credit scores, facial recognition software. And as this technology becomes more sophisticated and more pervasive, it’s important to understand some basic terminology. On this Labor Day, we’re revisiting an episode in […]
The future is here. Find out how artificial intelligence affects everything from your job to your health care to what you’re doing online right now.

Stretched over 344,000 square kilometres, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia is the biggest coral reef system in the world and an important marine biodiversity hotspot. But, the natural wonder that can be seen from space is in poor health. Now, researchers are looking to leverage citizen science crowdsourcing and artificial intelligence to help plan […]
Training a machine-learning model to effectively perform a task, such as image classification, involves showing the model thousands, millions, or even billions of example images. Gathering such enormous datasets can be especially challenging when privacy is a concern, such as with medical images. Researchers from MIT and the MIT-born startup DynamoFL have now taken one […]
Machine learning football simulator. Credit: Liu et al., Sci. Robot. 7, eabo0235. Simulated ‘mannequins’ have been taught how to play soccer (football) by an international team of machine learning scientists. Yes, you read that correctly. Sidenote: I insist on using the term “football” instead of “soccer”. The results, including the endearing videos of the AI […]
Innovations in technology and digitalization have revolutionized the healthcare domain like never before. In addition, COVID-19 has played a major role in accelerating its adoption and usage. Both patients and doctors have benefited from remote monitoring, teleconsultation, electronic medical records, and electronic health records. Doctors are able to provide instant guidance, feedback, and support to […]
