Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the potential to expedite coding, enhance driving safety, and streamline daily tasks, but a recent commentary in the Joule journal, penned by the creator of Digiconomist, illustrates how, with widespread adoption, it may result in a substantial energy footprint, potentially surpassing the energy demands of entire nations in the future.   […]

As businesses strive to diminish their energy consumption and curb associated carbon emissions, one particular area ripe for optimization is indoor heating and cooling. HVAC, which encompasses heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, typically accounts for approximately 40% of a building’s total energy usage. Implementing methods that conserve electricity while ensuring a comfortable indoor environment […]

A team of researchers hailing from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) has achieved a significant breakthrough in the area of artificial intelligence (AI). They’ve harnessed the power of reinforcement learning to conquer the challenge presented by champion Street Fighter players. This innovative research endeavor spawned a sophisticated software designed for intricate movement […]

Mastering the technique of landing a helicopter on the deck of a ship is a formidable task, especially for Navy pilots. Unlike a conventional runway, a ship’s landing area is compact and constantly in motion due to the sway of the sea. Various attempts have been made to automate ship landings, but none have effectively […]

While photographs are inherently two-dimensional (2D), the demands of autonomous vehicles and various technological applications require navigation within a three-dimensional (3D) environment. Enterprising researchers have devised a novel approach aimed at assisting artificial intelligence (AI) in extracting 3D insights from 2D images, thereby amplifying the utility of cameras for these burgeoning technologies.   “Present methods […]

Image recognition is the process of teaching computers to identify and categorize objects or patterns in digital images or video frames. This ability is crucial for various AI applications, including facial recognition, autonomous driving, medical diagnosis, and more.   The history of image recognition algorithms has been marked by significant progress. In the early days, […]

In a groundbreaking achievement in the mobile robotics, an AI-enhanced drone has emerged victorious in a challenge against drones piloted by humans, navigating a demanding obstacle course that tested precision flight maneuvers and speed.   While AI-driven machines have triumphed over humans in cerebral games like chess, checkers, Go, Othello, and StarCraft, a drone competition […]

Non-playable characters (NPCs) play a main role in video games, adding depth and complexity to game worlds. To achieve this, game developers turn to cutting-edge AI algorithms, enabling NPCs to exhibit intelligent behaviors.   Before delving into the algorithms behind NPC behavior, it’s essential to comprehend what constitutes intelligent behavior in a video game context. […]

A recent study reveals that ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot, exhibits diagnostic capabilities comparable to human doctors when assessing emergency room patients. Dutch researchers assert that this advancement in AI could potentially revolutionize the medical field. It’s important to note that the report, released on Wednesday, emphasizes that ER physicians need not retire their scrubs […]
