It’s unable to tell us why it came to a particular decision—and that’s crucial information
The algorithm hides sensitive information in a sea of decoys
Machine-learning algorithms can quickly process thousands of hours of natural soundscapes
Researchers are training algorithms to emulate trained dogs’ ability to detect cancer and other diseases, perhaps including COVID-19
A new type of learning model uses far less data than conventional AIs, allowing researchers with limited resources to contribute
Replication problems plague the field of AI, and the goal of general intelligence remains as elusive as ever
We need more diverse data to avoid perpetuating inequality in medicine
A technology called “fully homomorphic encryption” is so secure that even future quantum computers won’t be able to crack it
New models used writing samples to predict the onset of the disease with 70 percent accuracy
Manipulated videos are getting more sophisticated all the time—but so are the techniques that can identify them
Digitization of patient charts was supposed to revolutionize medical practice. Artificial intelligence could help unlock its potential
AI may equal human intelligence without matching the true nature of our experiences
Researchers trained machine-learning algorithms to read Amazon reviews for hints that a food product would be recalled by the FDA. Christopher Intagliata reports.
A new program could save lives in hospitals, where kidney injury is one of the most common causes of death
Starting in 2017, an artificial intelligence monitoring system at the Welgevonden Game Reserve in South Africa has been helping to protect rhinos and their caretakers.
