A new machine-learning technique can pinpoint potential power grid failures and cascading traffic bottlenecks, in real time.

A new machine-learning technique could pinpoint potential power grid failures or cascading traffic bottlenecks in real time.

Identifying a malfunction in the nation’s power grid can be like trying to find a needle in an enormous haystack. Hundreds of thousands of interrelated sensors spread across the U.S. capture data on electric current, voltage, and other critical information in real time, often taking multiple recordings per second.

Sounds provide important information about how well a machine is running. ETH researchers have now developed a new machine learning method that automatically detects whether a machine is “healthy” or requires maintenance.

Whether railway wheels or generators in a power plant, whether pumps or valves—they all make sounds. For trained ears, these noises even have a meaning: devices, machines, equipment or rolling stock sound differently when they are functioning properly compared to when they have a defect or fault.

Could the entire internet be generated by AI soon? At least one expert at the Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies is studying AI-generated content.

Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled AI tasks and Meta’s work on AI research at Inside the Lab event to make the metaverse a reality.

Social media conglomerate Meta has announced a new research project to build a “universal speech translator” powered by artificial intelligence. Such a translation tool could be hugely beneficial and would help propel Meta’s platforms like Facebook and Instagram around the world.

The “Special Purpose Unmanned Rifle” has materialized from your Black Mirror nightmares.
