Have you ever wondered what’s behind the weather forecast TV reports? Or who is managing government satellites? Perhaps you’ve wandered across a sensor — where does that data go? In the Netherlands, that data is collected and managed by the KNMI, or the Koninklijk Nederlands Meteorologisch Instituut — a.k.a., the government’s meteorological branch. The KNMI forecasts

A team of researchers from the Higher School of Economics University and Open University in Moscow, Russia claim they have demonstrated that an artificial intelligence can make accurate personality judgments based on selfies alone — more accurately than some humans. The researchers suggest the technology could be used to help match people up in online dating services

Facebook is using AI to spot scammers and impostors on Messenger without reading your chats. The feature uses machine learning to detect suspicious activity, such as adults sending out loads of friend or message requests to children. When it spots suspect behavior, it sends an in-app warning to the top of the conversation. This prompts

Scientists claim they can “teach” an AI moral reasoning by training it to extract ideas of right and wrong from texts. Researchers from Darmstadt University of Technology (DUT) in Germany fed their model books, news, and religious literature so it could learn the associations between different words and sentences. After training the system, they say it adopted

DeepMind and Google Health have developed an AI that can predict who’ll get one of the world’s most common causes of blindness. The system was built to detect age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a disease that afflicts more than 25% of over-60s in Europe and up to 11 million people in the US. There are two types of the disease: a
If I asked you to name the objects in the picture below, you would probably come up with a list of words such as “tablecloth, basket, grass, boy, girl, man, woman, orange juice bottle, tomatoes, lettuce, disposable plates…” without thinking twice. Now, if I told you to describe the picture below, you would probably say,
