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

The cyber-physical system we are developing uses a combination of wind sensors, optimisation algorithms and artificial intelligence to search for combinations of façade positions and wind flow conditions that limit building vibration,” says Jared. A close-up of THOR, a computer used primarily for machine learning tasks.

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Stephen Wolfram

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). Making its first appearance was a chapter on physics, though still definitely as a stub: &#10005.
