In a series of papers scheduled to be presented at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), Amazon researchers propose complementary AI algorithms that could form the foundation of an assistant that helps customers shop for clothes. One lets people fine-tune…
While artificial intelligence (AI) powered technologies are now commonly appearing in many digital services we interact with on a daily basis, an often neglected truth is that few companies are actually building the underlying AI technology. A good example of this is facial…
Are our bank accounts secure? Are our homes secure? Are our phone systems secure? These are all questions we ask ourselves on a daily basis and despite much wariness around the safety of technology, when we are in need of help about a delivery…
The enterprise is now fully engaged with the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) in its many forms. From machine learning (ML) to natural language processing (NLP) to artificial neural networks (ANN), the race is on to get a jump on the next evolutionary jump in digital technology. The broad impact that…
Facebook today unveiled a highly efficient, AI text-to-speech (TTS) system that can be hosted in real time using regular processors. It’s currently powering Portal, the company’s brand of smart displays, and it’s available as a service for other apps, like VR, internally at…
Asteroids, supervolcanoes, nuclear war, climate change, engineered viruses, artificial intelligence, and even aliens — the end may be closer than you think. For the next two weeks, OneZero will be featuring essays drawn from editor Bryan Walsh’s forthcoming book End Times: A Brief Guide to…
Over the last decade, experts have predicted that AI would make up the bulk of the current workforce. The World Economic Forum estimated that by 2025, humans would only make up 48% of the workforce, whereas digital workers would account for 52%. Although Accenture’s model showed…
Can AI function like a human brain? – Researchers have been asking this question for decades and their long-drawn-out pursuit has invoked doubts, ridicule, scorn, and what not. But now, armed with Neuromorphic Computing, they are ready to show the world that…
From minimizing accidents, traffic management, ticketing and preventive maintenance of fleets, AI has the potential to transform the transportation sector. The adoption of new technologies has helped the transportation sector innovate and evolve over the years. Today it is time for the…
A quick web search for “chatbots and security” brings up results warning you about the security risks of using these virtual agents. Dig a little deeper, however, and you’ll find that this artificial intelligence (AI) technology could actually help address many work-from-home…
