Plugging in: directly linking the brain to a computer

Futurum

Artificial intelligence (AI) — computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence. Augmented reality (AR) — technology that superimposes computer-generated images onto a user’s view of the real world. Furthermore, the response feedback produced by the computer is far slower than our brains, creating a delay.”

Online battles: combatting false information and reducing online risks

Futurum

Deepfake — manipulation of existing digital media (image, video and/or audio) – e.g., by swapping faces and changing voices – or creation of new media, typically using machine learning-based techniques such as deep learning. For technical degrees and careers, subjects like computer science and mathematics can be useful.

Morph with the wind: shape-changing buildings

Futurum

– Different engineering degrees have different requirements, but a strong background in mathematics is almost always beneficial, followed by physics, chemistry and computer science. DO YOU THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR SCIENTISTS TO COMMUNICATE TO THE PUBLIC, SUCH AS THROUGH TV OR RADIO? How ‘cool’ is that?!

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Stephen Wolfram

Then we might make a mathematical guess, like that perhaps we should use a straight line as a model: We could pick different straight lines. It’s just something that’s mathematically simple, and we’re used to the fact that lots of data we measure turns out to be well fit by mathematically simple things.

The Making of A New Kind of Science

Stephen Wolfram

But would color allow seriously better communication of information? What about systems that adapt or learn? What about the foundations of mathematics? In 1991 I thought about dashing off an Introduction to Computing book (maybe I should do that now!). What about systems based on constraints?
