Elon Musk's new medical-research firm, Neuralink, is working on ways to help the human brain keep up with AI.
The Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering is building a bidirectional human computer interface that could be used to help stroke and spinal injury patients.
With the launch of the Toyota Research Institute in Silicon Valley, the automaker hopes to develop advanced vehicle-based technologies that could also someday assist the elderly.
Dr. Whitney Mason, Program manager at DARPA, explains to Tonya Hall why AI operations at the edge are key for defense use cases.
MIT claims a win with probabilistic-programming system Gen in democratizing AI and spreading innovation for all.
The movement of data into and out of the processor is the biggest challenge for AI chips, but sparsity looms as an even greater challenge, according to Intel engineers.
Neuromorphic computing has had little practical success in building machines that can tackle standard tests such as logistic regression or image recognition. But work by prominent researchers is combining the best of machine learning with simulated networks of spiking neurons, bringing new hope for neuromorphic breakthroughs.
U Mass professor Hava Siegelmann has for decades articulated how current computing limits the prospects for artificial intelligence. Research into "neuromorphic" computing at her lab at U Mass., and multiple projects at DARPA, hold promise for moving AI to a new level.
Facebook will create its own deepfake videos to help build a system that can detect them.
