How can intelligent systems revolutionise healthcare?

Futurum

Dr Narges Armanfard from McGill University and Mila Quebec AI Institute in Montreal, Canada, has set up iSMART Lab to develop intelligent computer systems that can support medical professionals. To tackle these challenges, deep-learning methods are being developed which can automatically learn and identify patterns from vast amounts of data.”

Plugging in: directly linking the brain to a computer

Futurum

In recent years, BCIs have moved from science fiction to something that could have real potential. Artificial intelligence (AI) — computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence. The accuracy of machine learning provides another limitation, though this is a rapidly advancing field.

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

Stephen Wolfram

My goal here is to explore some of the science, technology—and philosophy—of what we can expect from AIs. And in what follows we’ll see over and over again that what might at first essentially seem like practical matters of technology quickly get enmeshed with deep questions of science and philosophy. So what is ChatGPT ?

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Stephen Wolfram

Or you could do what is the essence of theoretical science: make a model that gives some kind of procedure for computing the answer rather than just measuring and remembering each case. Well, you could just measure it in each case and make a table of the results. Nontrivial mathematics is one big example.

Often, it is enough to catch inconsistencies in audio and video streaming (AVS), such as subtle facial expressions that are not realistic, using machine learning. Artificial intelligence (AI) can be employed to make fake audio and video sound and look even more real.
