Army researchers measure reliability, confidence for next-gen AI

ADELPHI, Md. (March 30, 2020) – A team of Army and industry researchers have developed a metric for neural networks–computing systems modeled loosely after the human brain–that could assess the reliability and confidence of the next generation of artificial intelligence…

New tool exploring different paths the corona pandemic may take

Umeå University in Sweden is leading a team of researchers across Europe in the development of a coronavirus simulation framework that can support decision makers to experiment and evaluate possible interventions and their combined effects, in a simulated controlled world.…

Interactive product labels require new regulations, study warns

Artificial intelligence will be increasingly used on labels on food and other products in the future to make them interactive, and regulations should be reformed now so they take account of new innovations, a study warns. Thanks to the increased…

Wearable strain sensor using light transmittance helps measure physical signals better

KAIST researchers have developed a novel wearable strain sensor based on the modulation of optical transmittance of a carbon nanotube (CNT)-embedded elastomer. The sensor is capable of sensitive, stable, and continuous measurement of physical signals. This technology, featured in the…

‘Blind over-reliance’ on AI technology to manage international migration could lead to serious breaches of human rights

Over-reliance by countries on artificial intelligence to tackle international migration and manage future migration crisis could lead to serious breaches of human rights, a new study warns. AI can help states and international organisations prepare for large movements of people,…
