If we are going to make machines with human psychological capacities, we should prepare for the possibility that they may become sentient. How then will they react to our behaviour towards them?
IBM's artificial intelligence-powered Project Debater lost a competition to a human debate champion but said the experience was an important milestone in efforts to get computers to master human language.
The revelation that even the miniature brain of a honeybee can grasp basic mathematical operations has implications for the future development of AI.
The Institute for Ethics in Artificial Intelligence will explore fundamental issues affecting the use and impact of AI and will ensure that AI treats people fairly, protects their safety, respects their privacy and works for them.
In a matter of seconds, a new algorithm read chest X-rays for 14 pathologies, performing as well as radiologists in most cases, a Stanford-led study says.
China's news agency has created artificial intelligence news presenters - modeled off other, real news anchors.
Robbie Barrat, from US, developed the code for the AI “Portrait of Edmond Belamy” that sold for $432,500 at an internationally celebrated art auction.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology in US announced that it's launching a college which is specifically focused on the "ethical evolution" of AI that is already affecting and shaping our society.
The advancement of robotics and artificial intelligence will make 75 million jobs obsolete by the year 2022. But the same report goes on to predict the creation of 133 million new jobs over the same period.
Researchers have developed a prototype of a robot that can express 'emotions' through changes in its outer surface. The robot's skin covers a grid of texture units whose shapes change based on the robot's feelings.
Test tube chemistry using synthetic DNA molecules can be utilized in complex computing tasks to exhibit artificial intelligence
South Korean researchers used carbon nanotubes and AI to create an ultra-thin portable keyboard that can be crumpled up like paper without breaking it.
IBM Project Debater is the latest artificial intelligence that pulls in data from hundreds of millions of sources to win a debating argument.
DeepCube, an artificially intelligent system learned to dominate Rubik’s Cube without any human intervention. This research could be used to solve real-world problems, such as predicting the 3D shape of proteins.
Artificial intelligence has the potential to radically reinvent the global food production system, with far reaching consequences on health, nutrition and environmental impact.
