Plugging in: directly linking the brain to a computer

Futurum

“Furthermore, the response feedback produced by the computer is far slower than our brains, creating a delay.” The accuracy of machine learning provides another limitation, though this is a rapidly advancing field. Fields of research: Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs).

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. I learned web design and computer programming in my early high school days, and was hired as a junior web developer not long after.

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

What about systems that adapt or learn? What about the foundations of mathematics? But that email was right before I discovered yet more kinds of computational systems to explore, and before I’d understood applications to biology, and physics, and mathematics, and so on. What about systems based on constraints?
