Developing reliable AI tools for healthcare

New research proposes a system to determine the relative accuracy of predictive AI in a hypothetical medical setting, and when the system should defer to a human clinician Artificial intelligence (AI) has great potential to enhance how people work across a range of industries. But to integrate AI tools into the workplace in a safe […]

RoboCat: A self-improving robotic agent

Research Published 20 June 2023 Authors The RoboCat team New foundation agent learns to operate different robotic arms, solves tasks from as few as 100 demonstrations, and improves from self-generated data. Robots are quickly becoming part of our everyday lives, but they’re often only programmed to perform specific tasks well. While harnessing recent advances in

Andrew Ng: Unbiggen AI – IEEE Spectrum

Andrew Ng has serious street cred in artificial intelligence. He pioneered the use of graphics processing units (GPUs) to train deep learning models in the late 2000s with his students at Stanford University, cofounded Google Brain in 2011, and then served for three years as chief scientist for Baidu, where he helped build the Chinese

How AI Will Change Chip Design

The end of Moore’s Law is looming. Engineers and designers can do only so much to miniaturize transistors and pack as many of them as possible into chips. So they’re turning to other approaches to chip design, incorporating technologies like AI into the process. Samsung, for instance, is adding AI to its memory chips to

Atomically Thin Materials Significantly Shrink Qubits

Quantum computing is a devilishly complex technology, with many technical hurdles impacting its development. Of these challenges two critical issues stand out: miniaturization and qubit quality. IBM has adopted the superconducting qubit road map of reaching a 1,121-qubit processor by 2023, leading to the expectation that 1,000 qubits with today’s qubit form factor is feasible.

A Gentle Introduction to Graph Neural Networks

This article is one of two Distill publications about graph neural networks. Take a look at Understanding Convolutions on Graphs to understand how convolutions over images generalize naturally to convolutions over graphs. Graphs are all around us; real world objects are often defined in terms of their connections to other things. A set of objects,

Understanding Convolutions on Graphs

Contents This article is one of two Distill publications about graph neural networks. Take a look at A Gentle Introduction to Graph Neural Networks for a companion view on many things graph and neural network related. Many systems and interactions – social networks, molecules, organizations, citations, physical models, transactions – can be represented quite naturally
