SenseTime announced its AI-empowered software solution, SenseCare-Lung Pro, has been awarded the CE mark to meet the safety and performance requirements demanded in the European Economic Area (EEA). The software enables faster and more automated diagnosis of lung diseases including COVID-19 infections based on CT image analysis.

A research team from Osaka University has developed an innovative new animal-borne data-collection system that, guided by artificial intelligence (AI), has led to the witnessing of previously unreported foraging behaviors in seabirds.

Nouvelle manière d’enseigner, les robots éducatifs connaissent une forte croissance chaque année. Depuis la maternelle jusqu’au lycée, ils accompagnent les élèves dans leurs apprentissages et constituent une méthode d’enseignement ludique.

According to popular speaker Gerd Leonhard, there are still many misunderstandings about Artificial Intelligence. In many cases, the current possibilities are greatly overestimated, sometimes in combination with black scenarios for the future of humanity. In practice, AI is certainly a very useful tool, but still no more than that. We spoke with him at the Axians IT’s Yours event about his vision on “Artificial Intelligence and the future of humanity”. Bottom line from Leonhard: at the moment Artificial Intelligence is actually mainly Intelligent Assistance.

Researchers from Erasmus University, The Ohio State University, York University, and London Business School published a new paper in the Journal of Marketing that examines the tension between AI’s benefits and costs and then offers recommendations to guide managers and scholars investigating these challenges.

Stanford University researcher Mac Schwager entered the world of penguin counting through a chance meeting at his sister-in-law’s wedding in June 2016. There, he learned that Annie Schmidt, a biologist at Point Blue Conservation Science, was seeking a better way to image a large penguin colony in Antarctica. Schwager, who is an assistant professor of aeronautics and astronautics, saw an opportunity to collaborate, given his work on controlling swarms of autonomous flying robots.

The ZeroAbuse.AI AI tool is being developed to detect child abuse. Joelle Casteix, who works for the non-profit organization Zero Abuse Project, explains how it works.

The past years in the Fall San Francisco was the scene of Dreamforce, with 170,000 attendees the largest IT event in the world. Artificial Intelligence, under the name Einstein, is becoming increasingly important within the Salesforce portfolio. An important development of Einstein at Dreamforce was the offering of deep voice interaction with artificial intelligence. Carola Verschoor of Royal HaskoningDHV called this in a report by professional title Executive People at the time “ talking to data. The video above is a conversation Marco van der Hoeven had with Allison Witherspoon about the development of Einstein last year.

A fish school is a striking demonstration of synchronicity. Yet centuries of study have left a basic question unanswered: do fish save energy by swimming in schools? Now, scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior (MPI-AB), the University of Konstanz, and Peking University have provided an answer that has long been suspected but never conclusively supported by experiments: yes.

In a new international cross disciplinary study, researchers have used artificial intelligence to analyse large amounts of historical photos from WW2. Among other things, the study shows that artificial intelligence can recognise the identity of photographers based on the content of photos taken by them.
