Will AI Steal Submarines' Stealth? - Channel969

#artificialintelligence

Submarines are valued primarily for his or her means to cover. The peace of mind that submarines would doubtless survive the primary missile strike in a nuclear struggle and thus be capable to reply by launching missiles in a second strike is essential to the technique of deterrence often called mutually assured destruction. Any new expertise which may render the oceans successfully clear, making it trivial to identify lurking submarines, might thus undermine the peace of the world. For almost a century, naval engineers have striven to develop ever-faster, ever-quieter submarines. However they've labored simply as laborious at advancing a wide selection of radar, sonar, and different applied sciences designed to detect, goal, and eradicate enemy submarines. The stability appeared to show with the emergence of nuclear-powered submarines within the early Sixties.


AI Startup Speeds Healthcare Innovations To Save Lives

Michelle Wu, cofounder and CEO and KK (Qiang Kou 寇强) tech cofounder at Nyquist Data, an AI powered ... [ ] cloud-based platform providing business, clinical, and regulatory intelligence and analytics for medical devices and pharmaceuticals companies How long does it take to get FDA approval for a heart-failure drug? It sounds like a simple question, but without the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) powered MedTech cloud-based platform, it could take months and millions of dollars to find out. The market size for AI in healthcare is projected to reach $187.95 billion by 2030, according to Precedence Research. When Michelle Wu was first asked this question, global clinical and regulatory healthcare information was publicly available, but it was scattered around the world in different databases and languages. Worse yet, keywords were misspelled or there were handwritten notes included in the databases, making what should be searchable unsearchable.


The delay to the online safety bill won't make it any easier to please everyone

The Guardian

The Goldilocks theory of policy is simple enough. If Mummy Bear says your latest government bill is too hot, and Daddy Bear says your latest government bill is too cold, then you can tuck in knowing that the actual temperature is just right. Unfortunately, the Goldilocks theory sometimes fails. You learn that what you actually have in front of you is less a perfectly heated bowl of porridge and more a roast chicken you popped in the oven still frozen: frosty on the inside, burnt on the outside, and harmful to your health if you try to eat it. To its supporters, the online safety bill, which was dropped from the legislative calendar last Wednesday to make space for a no-confidence motion in the government, sits firmly in the Goldilocks zone. The bill is a monster piece of legislation, with its roots in a green paper published way back in October 2017.


Russia Has Been To Iran Twice In Last Month To Assess Drones: US

International Business Times

Russian officials have recently visited Iran twice to assess combat drones, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Saturday, as Moscow looks to bolster its arsenal for the war in Ukraine. Iran's military hosted two showcases for Russian delegations at the Kashan airfield, on June 8 and again on July 5, Sullivan said in a statement. Satellite imagery released by the White House shows Shahed-191 and Shahed-129 drones at or flying near the site. The White House said earlier this week that it believes Moscow is looking to acquire hundreds of the drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) -- and that Tehran is set to train Russian forces to use them as soon as this month. "We assess an official Russian delegation recently received a showcase of Iranian attack-capable UAVs," Sullivan said Saturday.

National Robotarium pioneers AI and telepresence robotic tech for remote health consultations

#artificialintelligence

The National Robotarium, hosted by Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, has unveiled an AI-powered telepresence robotic solution for remote health consultations. Using the solution, health practitioners would be able to assess a person's physical and cognitive health from anywhere in the world. Patients could access specialists no matter whether they're based in the UK, India, the US, or anywhere else. "It was fascinating to visit the National Robotarium and see first-hand how virtual teleportation technology could revolutionise healthcare and assisted living. Backed by £21 million UK Government City Region Deal funding, this cutting-edge research centre is a world leader for robotics and AI, bringing jobs and investment to the area."

US doubles down on claim that Iran wants to sell drones to Russia

Al Jazeera

Tehran, Iran – The United States has doubled down on its claim that Iran is planning to sell "hundreds" of drones to Russia to be used in Ukraine, a day after Tehran explicitly rejected the allegation. Jake Sullivan, the US national security adviser, on Saturday reiterated his statement made earlier this week that Iran wants to sell weapons-capable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to Moscow. He released satellite imagery to the US-based CNN network that purportedly showed that a Russian delegation visited an airfield in central Kashan at least twice in the last month. The Russian delegation is alleged to have been treated to a showcase of the Shahed-191 and Shahed-129 drones, both capable of carrying precision-guided missiles. Sullivan also claimed earlier this week that Iran is training Russian forces in using the drones, and said it is unclear if any drones have already been sold to Moscow.


Deepfakes: Your Brain is Better than you at Detecting Fake Faces on the Internet - Market Research Telecast

#artificialintelligence

Deepfake is a word that is fashionable: it is about computer-generated images (in the form of photos and videos) that imitate the human appearance. Sometimes they mimic someone real, like a celebrity or acquaintance. But sometimes they are completely unique fake faces. It may be a way to create any new person on the internet, but in the realms of politics, cybersecurity, counterfeiting, and border control, deepfakes are of great concern. However, it seems that the human brain is really good at recognizing fake faces.
