How can intelligent systems revolutionise healthcare?

Futurum

Whether it’s tracking physical activity, monitoring vital signs, analysing sleep patterns or brain activities, intelligent systems can provide real-time feedback and recommendations to encourage healthier habits, behaviours, and early and accurate diagnosis and prognosis that may not be evident to the human eyes,” explains Narges.

What is the 21st Century Lesson Plan?

Ask a Tech Teacher

You allow different approaches as long as students achieve the Big Idea or answer the Essential Question. You aren’t the only one to come up with these varied approaches–students know what works best for their learning and present it to you as an option. Differentiation is the norm. Keyboarding skills are granular.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

Given a defined “goal”, an AI can automatically work towards achieving it. Most of our existing intuition about “machinery” and “automation” comes from a kind of “clockwork” view of engineering—in which we specifically build systems component by component to achieve objectives we want. And that’s where we humans come in.

And for example the concept of “temperature” is there because exponential distributions familiar from statistical physics happen to be being used, but there’s no “physical” connection—at least so far as we know.) In this particular case, we can use known laws of physics to work it out.

The Making of A New Kind of Science

Stephen Wolfram

My journey in science began in the early 1970s—and by the time I was 14 I’d already written three book-length “treatises” about physics (though these wouldn’t see the light of day for several more decades). But there’s a standard way to achieve the appearance of gray, by changing the local density of black and white.
