Facial recognition technology can determine a person’s personality by analysing an emotionless selfie, a study claims. Researchers built an artificial neural network that assessed 128 different factors of a person’s face, such as the width of the mouth and the height of the lips or eyes. It used the data from these readings to categorise … Read more
Saudi Arabia’s construction of the £400billion futuristic megacity Neom has been delayed due to plunging oil prices and coronavirus fears hitting the land of billionaire princes. The futuristic tech-hub was set to be completed in 2025 and be home to one million people, costing an estimated $500billion (£413billion). The complex of Moroccan-style opulent buildings and … Read more
Elon Musk gave a simple response to the vice president of artificial intelligence at Facebook after being questioned about his knowledge of the technology – ‘Facebook sucks.’ The blunt response was to a tweet posted by Jerome Pesenti, who criticized the billionaire’s warnings about the dangers of artificial general intelligence (AGI). ‘I believe a lot … Read more
Artificial Intelligence that can diagnose COVID-19 using X-RAYS could help identify cases of coronavirus more quickly and predict outcomes for patients, computer programmers claim Developers have trained their AI model on publicly available COVID-19 X-rays To get a better picture they need more details and a wider range of X-ray images They believe their invention … Read more
First invented in the 1980s by Chuck Hull, an engineer and physicist, 3D printing technology – also called additive manufacturing – is the process of making an object by depositing material, one layer at a time. Similarly to how an inkjet printer adds individual dots of ink to form an image, a 3D printer adds … Read more
