DSDE: Emerging Technology

Forced to tighten their belts financially by the coronavirus pandemic, businesses are increasingly using software that automates back-office tasks. The idea, of course, is for companies to save money by reducing the number of workers they need to handle clerical work.

This story reviews well-adopted ideas that have stood the test of time, presenting a small set of techniques that covers a lot of basic knowledge necessary to understand modern deep learning research.

In industries where data is key to gaining competitive advantage, artificial intelligence and machine learning have become necessities. Tim Custer, senior vice president with Apache, shares how artificial intelligence is affecting the way the energy business operates.

This policy brief explores the key issues in attempting to improve cybersecurity and safety for artificial intelligence as well as roles for policymakers in helping address these challenges.

Research shows how to understand the role of individual neurons in a neural network.

Like biological brains, artificial neural networks may depend on slow-wave sleep for learning.

The aerospace giant is launching a new business unit to cash in on the autonomous aviation market. It will act as a systems integrator for all Honeywell products and services that could be used in this industry.

Artificial intelligence just seems to get smarter and smarter. But some of the improvement comes from tweaks rather than the core innovations their inventors claim—and some of the gains may not exist at all, says Davis Blalock, a computer science graduate student at MIT.

Artificial intelligence systems can be trained to recognize visual content in drawings and provide a simplified context. The complete paper highlights the use of AI to process a scanned drawing and redrawing it on a digital platform.

Artificial intelligence is already part of the work done in an office near you, and, before you know it, it will be in your office as well. Gaining familiarity and an understanding of it will serve you well.
