🧠 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.
🚘 Tesla launches full self-driving beta and Waymo offers driverless taxi
Self-driving cars are taking a step forward with Tesla launching a beta test of the significant upgrade of their autopilot and Google's autonomous driving company, Waymo, offering driverless taxi service in Phoenix, Arizona.
🛥 Self-propelled boat ready to cross the Atlantic
Artificial intelligence is about to revolutionize all kinds of vehicles. Self-propelled boats, which navigate using loads of sensors and AI, can be a common sight in the not-too-distant future. Soon the maiden voyage takes place for one of them.
🌟 Robocrop - the robot that will pick cauliflower
In the future, robots will be able to harvest vegetables, fruits and berries. Fieldwork Robotics has developed a prototype that can handle cabbage.
🐟 AI tools should save whales from colliding with ships
By sending a warning to ships traveling in areas where there are whales, the number of whales that die in collisions will be reduced.
🔎 Microsoft tools reveal deepfakes
By analyzing details that are impossible for the eye to detect, Microsoft's AI technology can indicate the likelihood that movies, photos, and audio recordings are counterfeit.
