🧠 Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) helps doctors make better diagnoses, scientists create new materials, farmers grow crops more effectively and all of us driving cars - and millions of other applications. This topic also covers subsets of AI such as machine learning (ML), deep learning and neural networks.
🛰 Satellite swarms can teach us more about climate change
Many small coordinated satellites help us follow weather phenomena and better understand climate change.
🧚 Scientists created AI that writes fairy tales for children
Can an AI create fairytales with images? Yes, they can. And readers even think they're pretty good.
🤖 Facebook releases platform for robot developments
Facebook has created a platform where developers can build robots with the ability to recognize natural language, perform tasks and navigate their surroundings.
🐨 AI-system will monitor koala population in Australia
The koalas are severely threatened by climate change as bushfires eliminate the koala's habitat. An AI hub will now be established in Australia to analyze data on the population.
