DSDE: Emerging Technology

Maybe we don’t need to look inside the black box after all. Maybe we just need to watch how machines behave, instead.

High-fidelity 3D engineering simulations are valuable in making decisions, but they can be cost-prohibitive and require significant amounts of time to execute. The integration of deep-learning neural networks with computational fluid dynamics may help accelerate the simulation process.

AGI stands for artificial general intelligence, a hypothetical computer program that can perform intellectual tasks as well as, or better than, a human. AGI will make today’s most advanced AIs look like pocket calculators.

In collaboration with Stanford University and Brown University, Google explores how existing knowledge in an organization can be used as noisier, higher-level supervision—or, as it is often termed, weak supervision—to quickly label large training data sets.

Robots have been a part of industrial production for decades, but the interface between humans and robots has changed as automation technologies increased in complexity, scope, and scale. Once a novelty, collaborative robots are projected to become a significant element of the automation landscape.

Neural networks can be as unpredictable as they are powerful. Now mathematicians are beginning to reveal how a neural network’s form will influence its function.

A study of 25 years of artificial-intelligence research suggests the era of deep learning may come to an end.

In 2015, the United Nations ratified the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Technology will be critical in the pursuit of these ambitious targets, but the pace and scale of change creates risks that humanity must take very seriously.

For too long, owner/operators have managed operational profitability using paper-based processes or monthly reporting cycles. In the new technological climate, this approach has been proven to be less effective. Enter the industrial Internet of things.

Nesh's digital assistant technology wants to make industry information more easily accessible for energy professionals.
