A four-legged robot that inspects concrete can walk through underground sewage tunnels and detect when they need repairing. Hendrik Kolvenbach at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) in Switzerland and his colleagues have developed a robot that scratches one of its legs against concrete to determine the condition it is in. The robot is waterproof and it can wade through water and climb over obstacles. Because many modern sewage systems were built decades ago, constant underground monitoring is needed to prevent major leaks.

In the search for new medicines for diseases such as cancer, a Leiden team has developed a new workflow. This approach combines artificial intelligence (AI) with molecular modelling and is suitable for finding unknown and innovative drug structures, the researchers demonstrated. With their new method, the researchers of the Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research (LACDR) and the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS) were able to find five substances with an inhibitory effect on a specific type of kinase. Kinases are enzymes that switch other proteins on or off and play an important role in the development of cancer. In their publication in the Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling, the team looked at so-called polypharmacology – drug development in which there are multiple targets in the body.

Panasonic's first true wireless earbuds finally went on sale today in Europe. The RZ-S500W offers premium noise cancellation, while the RZ-S300W focuses on size and comfort. While we haven't tried the S300W yet, we got a quick demo of the S500W earlier this year at CES and what we saw left us impressed. The big draw of the larger S500W is Panasonic's "Dual Hybrid" noise cancelling technology. They use feedforward noise cancellation, feedback noise cancellation and analog/digital processing to capture sound outside and inside the earbuds.

If you've taken my first reinforcement learning class, then you know that reinforcement learning is on the bleeding edge of what we can do with AI. Specifically, the combination of deep learning with reinforcement learning has led to AlphaGo beating a world champion in the strategy game Go, it has led to self-driving cars, and it has led to machines that can play video games at a superhuman level. Reinforcement learning has been around since the 70s but none of this has been possible until now. The world is changing at a very fast pace.

That is an artificial intelligence-driven (AI) chatbot, which is giving patients new ways to deal with getting the correct consideration at their place of need. Chatbots take on an assortment of structures. Their assignments fluctuate and may incorporate robotizing manual capacities for both healthcare providers and patients, giving day in and day out care, offering enthusiastic and physical prosperity support, expanding treatment adherence, and more. For healthcare providers and patients, this is a win-win. Patient-driven outcomes are the goal, and AI chatbots can vastly improve healthcare functions and patient engagement, and ultimately, financial and healthcare results.

Colourisation or adding colours to the black and white or monochrome images and videos has witnessed a widespread adoption for a few decades now. Traditional colourisation techniques need a lot of human efforts as well as are costlier. However, with the advent of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, these two major issues are disappearing slowly. Not only this but also we have witnessed how researchers are using deepfake techniques to swap faces of celebrities and other popular faces around the globe. Let's take a look at the few movies that have been coloured using artificial intelligence.

The brain is complex; in humans it consists of about 100 billion neurons, making on the order of 100 trillion connections. It is often compared with another complex system that has enormous problem-solving power: the digital computer. Both the brain and the computer contain a large number of elementary units--neurons and transistors, respectively--that are wired into complex circuits to process information conveyed by electrical signals. At a global level, the architectures of the brain and the computer resemble each other, consisting of largely separate circuits for input, output, central processing, and memory.1 Which has more problem-solving power--the brain or the computer? Given the rapid advances in computer technology in the past decades, you might think that the computer has the edge.

Today the United States crumbles under the weight of two pandemics: coronavirus and police brutality. Both wreak physical and psychological violence. And both are animated by technology that we design, repurpose, and deploy--whether it's contact tracing, facial recognition, or social media. We often call on technology to help solve problems. But when society defines, frames, and represents people of color as "the problem," those solutions often do more harm than good.

Zoom will strengthen security protections on its phone calls – but only if people pay, according to the company's chief executive Eric Yuan. Those accounts and organisations that pay for the premium service will have their encryption increased, so that calls cannot be intercepted, he announced. But people using the free version will not benefit from those protections, so that their calls can be watched by law enforcement. The company has attracted greater business during the coronavirus pandemic, with multitudes of people working from home and continuing their lives via video call, but has seen people entering video calls they should not have been in – a practise called "zoombombing" – which has led to people being subject to harassment or made to view footage of child abuse. "Free users for sure we don't want to give that because we also want to work together with FBI, with local law enforcement in case some people use Zoom for a bad purpose," Yuan said as part of the company's financial results for the first quarter of 2020.

Osaka – Late last month, the Diet passed a revised bill paving the way for so-called "super cities" or "smart cities." Supporters tout them as high-tech marvels where artificial intelligence and big data are to be used to provide more efficient and cost-effective solutions to social problems, especially in areas faced with aging and declining populations and a reduced tax base. Opponents warn that data leaks could lead to privacy violations and even a surveillance state. What was the purpose of the recently passed bill? In order to realize the creation of smart cities in various parts of the country, any number of basic regulations involving multiple ministries needs to be changed. The May 27 revision to a national strategic special zone law included measures the government can now take to do that more quickly and under more specific guidelines.
