The Nightmare Machine: How AI is Taking Fear to the Next Level - Deep Core Data

Rest assured that despite the constant Matrix-like scenarios, we're actually big fans of AI technology. But we're also sci-fi geeks, so we have to get it out somewhere. Earlier this year, I wrote about the basics of how machine learning works, and how we've been using it to train computer programs to beat us at the Chinese strategy game, Go.

Now, they want to teach computers just what it is that humans fear.
