Artificial Intelligence has seen many advances recently, with new technologies like deepfakes, deepvoice, and GPT3 completely changing how we see the world. These new technologies bring forth many obvious benefits for in workflow and entertainment, but when technology like this exists, there are those who will try and use it for evil. Today we will be taking a look at how AI is giving hackers and cyber criminals more ways to pull off heists focusing on the story of a $35 million dollar hack that was pulled off using artificial intelligence and deep voice software.

In what could be the first direct link between AI and the human brain, interventional neurologist Thomas Oxley reveals the world’s first minimally invasive digital spinal cord. He shares the exciting story behind the ongoing development of this unique wireless device that can interpret signals from the brain for patients with paralysis without the need for open brain surgery or direct contact with brain tissue. Endovascular neurologist Thomas Oxley’s 2016 research demonstrated the potential for a neural recording device to be engineered onto a stent and implanted into a blood vessel in the brain, without the need for open brain surgery.

This research has progressively attracted investment, with completion of a Series A fundraiser in 2017. His company’s technology, the Stentrode, currently under FDA review, is planned for a first in human trial. Patients with tetraplegia due to spinal cord injury, stroke and ALS will be recruited into a trial of direct brain control over a suite of assistive technologies. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Scientists have labored for decades to understand how brain structure and functional connectivity drive intelligence.

IARPA is putting together its REASON program that aims to help analysts identify crucial overlooked pieces of information while automatically generating comments to aid their intelligence reporting.

Today we take a deep dive into the fascinating species that is Homo Sapiens.

As they suggest, Denisova 11 was not an isolated case but rather a hint of a more general introgression process.

This study was the first to use deep learning technologies to inspect human evolution. In the future, it’s expected to become more common in fields such as biology, genomics and evolution.

Despite being a general-purpose language, Python is considered the best programming language for the most complex technologies like Artificial Intelligence.
