AI risks turning organizations into self-serving organisms if humans removed
From University of Ottawa 11/01/24 With human bias removed, organizations looking to improve performance by harnessing digital technology can expect changes to how information is scrutinized. The proliferation of digital technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) within organizations risks removing human oversight and could lead institutions to autonomously enact information to create the environment of their […]
How do we learn? Neuroscientists pinpoint how memories are likely to be stored in the brain
From Trinity College Dublin 26/11/23 What is the mechanism that allows our brains to incorporate new information about the world, and form memories? New work by a team of neuroscientists led by Dr. Tomás Ryan from Trinity College Dublin shows that learning occurs through the continuous formation of new connectivity patterns between specific engram cells […]
Researchers help unravel brain processes involved in vision
From York University 25/11/23 Faced with images that break the expected pattern, like a do not enter sign where a stop sign is expected, how does the brain react and learn compared to being shown images which match what was predicted? That was the question a team, including York University, set out to answer. A […]
AI can map giant icebergs from satellite images 10,000 times faster than humans
From University of Leeds 13/11/23 AI can map giant icebergs from satellite images 10,000 times faster than humans. Scientists have trained an artificial intelligence (AI) system to accurately map – in one-hundredth of a second – the surface area and outline of giant icebergs captured on satellite images. It is a major advance on existing […]
