The application of AI to healthcare International expert on artificial intelligence, Professor Michael Georgeff talks the application of AI to healthcare and Dr Nick Carr tells you about this year's flu vaccine.

Artificial intelligence and racism Indeed, AI is here - although Microsoft's blunder with Tay, the "teenaged girl AI" embodied by a Twitter account who "turned racist" shows that we obviously still have a long way to go. The pace of advancement, mixed with our general lack of knowledge in the realm of artificial intelligence, has spurred many to chime in on the emerging topic of AI and ethics.

Artificial intelligence project could yield clues about autism | Spectrum Researchers have traced the paths of thousands of neurons in a tiny piece of mouse brain, creating the largest map of neuronal wiring to date. The atlas, published in March in Nature, shows not only how these neurons connect, but also how they function as the brain processes information.

Artificial intelligence rules on agenda for G-7 tech ministers - The Nation Some experts in the field predict that AI will have higher-level capabilities than human brains by 2045. An increasing number of people say it is necessary to establish systems to prevent AI programmes from running out of control and harming humans, and to prevent AI programmes from leaking personal information.

Artificial intelligence for daily use Real-world artificial-intelligence applications are popping up in unexpected places - and much sooner than you might think.

Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning, Can It Take Over? Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk first warned us about Artificial Intelligence (AI). Elon Musk then turned around and with other technologists put $1B into starting a nonprofit research effort - OpenAI just to "keep an eye on it"! Facebook, Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Shopify and others are charging full steam at AI and even open sourcing it!

Human Intuition Defeats Artificial Intelligence in Quantum Computing Game First Posted: Apr 16, 2016 04:38 AM EDT People have an upper hand over artificial intelligence (AI) when it concerns intuitive thinking and solving complex science problems, according to a new study. In the past few decades, the progress in science and technology have enabled scientists to develop AI that beats people at their own games, however the new discovery reveals a different angle.

How can Rush predict who's got Zika or Ebola? Artificial intelligence. A patient walks into the emergency department at Rush University Medical Center with a fever and bloodshot eyes. In days of yore, doctors would have to exhaustthe obvious possibilities - like a flu or allergic reaction - before finally figuring a patient was suffering from Zika virus.
