A Wellington, New Zealand-based technology group has unveiled a pilot digital platform: ‘SAM – the Virtual Politician’ at the launch of the Wellington CIT.AI chapter, part of a global network of cities showcasing their artificial intelligence (AI) capability and talent. The group’s spokesperson Nick Gerritsen, said the group aimed to test whether the ways in […]
Cher Horowitz’s closet from the film “Clueless” had a futuristic computer system that helped her put together outfits. Back in 1995, the concept teased what it might be like to get dressed in the future. Technology has evolved a lot since then, but closets have been largely untouched by innovation. Now, that’s starting to change. […]
Google’s Geoffrey Hinton, an artificial intelligence pioneer, in November outlined an advance in the technology that improves the rate at which computers correctly identify images and with reliance on less data. Hinton, an academic whose previous work on artificial neural networks is considered foundational to the commercialization of machine learning, detailed the approach, known as […]
Intel has snatched rival AMD’s former SVP and Chief Architect of its Radeon GPU division, Raja Koduri (above), and tasked him with heading up the new Core and Visual Computing Group, a new division that Intel hopes will provide discrete GPU cards and integrated graphics to counter Nvidia’s incursion. It looks like Intel is about […]
Police in the US state of Delaware are poised to deploy “smart” cameras in cruisers to help authorities detect a vehicle carrying a fugitive, missing child or straying senior. The video feeds will be analyzed using artificial intelligence to identify vehicles by license plate or other features and “give an extra set of eyes” to […]
Currently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning are being used, not only as personal assistants for internet activities, but also to answer phones, drive vehicles, provide insights through Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics, and so much more. Artificial Intelligence can be broken down into two categories: Strong (also known as General or Broad) AI and Weak […]
