When Elon Musk is all about his self-driving cars and the tech behind it, we can’t help but think how convenient the future (or even present) will be. And that’s when Taylor Jackson, who is an adult movie star decided to take advantage of the technology and shoot a pornographic scene in a moving Tesla. […]
Nothing is scarier than the headline ‘AI Creates Fake Humans’. I am afraid that this headline is no longer a fantasy. We had earlier informed you about how AI can predict your death, read your mind or even worse — inherit our racial biases. However, a new and evolved artificial intelligence is on the horizon […]
AI-based surveillance is quite a thing, and the tech is being adopted at high speeds. However, not everyone loves the idea of being monitored in public, and a new trick could help such people from being detected. A group of engineers from the University of KU Leuven in Belgium has come up with a new […]
As a long-promised feature of the digital age, artificial intelligence is finally making real strides into many aspects of mainstream security. From personal computing systems to vast online casino networks, this is a development long promised. Offering considerable advantages over traditional methods, these specially-designed systems will indisputably become a pronounced form of protection going forward, […]
China is known to have been working on its surveillance strategies for a while now, with AI playing a significant role in it. China has developed its facial recognition tech to recognize its population. However, the technology seems to be taking a racial route to recognize minorities in the country specifically. It is suggested that […]
Elon Musk’s AI research organization, Open AI, which trains its artificial intelligence system to play Dota 2, has defeated a world champion e-sports team. The competition, dubbed the OpenAI Five Finals, was held in San Francisco.

No technology raises the outright fear like artificial intelligence. And this is not something that worries the ordinary people. Google and Facebook, have done some thorough research in AI ethics research centers. Similarly, Canada and France teamed up last year to form an international panel to debate on AI’s “responsible adoption.” Finally, the European Commission […]
A new way for cybercriminals to create fake social media profiles and carry identity scams using Artificial Intelligence powered tool? A couple of months ago it was reported that NVIDIA has developed a tool that uses Artificial Intelligence to create extremely realistic human faces which in reality do not exist. Now, there is a website that […]
People are usually good at arguing, and the ability to comprehend and put forward arguments is one of our greatest capabilities. But what about AI computers that try to emulate humans? This is precisely what IBM wanted to find out by pitting its AI system dubbed the Project Debater with world-class debater Harish Natarajan. The topic for […]

The popular benchmarking app — Antutu — has come up with a quantifiable scale to judge AI performance of different smartphones. The Antutu benchmark tool termed “AI Review” base its score on two categories: Image Classification and Object Classification. While the image classification test is based on the Inception v3 neural network, the Object Classification uses MobileNet SSD neural network. Once a neural network is […]
Until now quantum computers have competed with classic computers in solving problems. But, researchers are planning to leverage the power of quantum computing for making a neural network that acts like a brain. The Neuromorphic Quantum Computing (Quromorphic) project led by Michael Hartmann and his colleagues from Heriot-Watt University is all about combining two dominant technologies […]
If you are someone who watches all the latest Netflix series using your friend’s credentials, a new AI tech is here to prevent you from doing so.

The concept of Digital Shaman Project will help people to pave their way through the mental distress […]
By this time, we have realized how artificial intelligence is a boon and a bane at the same time. Computers have become capable of performing things that human beings cannot. It is not tough to imagine a world where you AI could program human beings; thanks to sci-fi television series available lately. What happens when […]
MIT Media Lab researchers call it AlterEgo headset. Though it sounds as bizarre as it can be but it is true that now you can type on the computer without even moving your fingers, simply by thinking about what you need to type. MIT Media Lab researchers have invented a ground-breaking computer interface that can translate […]
As the first notable flagship of 2018, Samsung Galaxy S9 brought the first-of-a-kind variable camera to the smartphone industry. However, Google’s Pixel 2 camera remains one of the best ones around–especially due to its intelligent portrait mode that doesn’t need dual camera setup. To make sure that the developers can take advantage of the underlying […]
