"RoVR is a virtual reality and augmented reality simulator dog simulator for people who can't accommodate a living, breathing pet.
Suddenly, everything is a computer. Phones, of course, and televisions. Also toasters and door locks, baby monitors and juicers, doorbells and gas grills. Even faucets. Even garden hoses. Even fidget spinners.
A whiff of dystopian creepiness has long wafted in the air whenever facial recognition has come up. Books, movies and television shows have portrayed the technology as mainly a tool of surveillance and social control—aimed by unseen others at you, for their purposes, not your own.
Creating noodling piano tunes and endless configurations of cat drawings with AI may not sound like an obvious project for Google, but it makes a lot of sense to Douglas Eck.
The new iPhone X puts face recognition front and centre. Why? Because it is the quickest and easiest way to unlock your phone.
The chairman of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said on Tuesday "operational limitations" in the Tesla Model S played a "major role" in a May 2016 crash that killed a driver using the vehicle's semi-autonomous "Autopilot" system.
Swamped by too much raw intel data to sift through, U.S. spy agencies are pinning their hopes on artificial intelligence to crunch billions of digital bits and understand events around the world.
Researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have developed a technique that sheds light on the inner workings of neural networks trained to process language.
Nissa Scott started working at the cavernous Amazon warehouse in southern New Jersey late last year, stacking plastic bins the size of small ottomans.
The robot was perched over a bin filled with random objects, from a box of instant oatmeal to a small toy shark.
A storm of criticism has rained down on a paper by genome-sequencing pioneer Craig Venter that claims to predict people's physical traits from their DNA.
Syncphonia is a new application that enables a music teacher to deconstruct a piece of music into its component parts, so each player's part is displayed individually.
New algorithms can accurately determine when drivers are texting or engaged in other distracting activities.
From the moment we humans first imagined having mechanical servants at our beck and call, we've assumed they would be constructed in our own image.
For many Russian students, the academic year started last Friday with tips on planetary domination from President Vladimir Putin.
About a month ago, iRobot CEO Colin Angle mentioned something about sharing Roomba mapping data in an interview with Reuters.
A new $240 million center at MIT may help advance the field of artificial intelligence by developing novel devices and materials to power the latest machine-learning algorithms. It could, perhaps, also help IBM reclaim its reputation for doing cutting-edge AI.
People get up to weird things in New Zealand.
Car designers have every kind of software and virtual reality tool. But when they want to make sure a car's curves look just right, they rely on one of the world's oldest materials: clay.
The design of trustworthy autonomous systems must entail consideration of the ability to explain decisions and recourse options when things go awry.
