Adding another dimension to the Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk rivalry.

Amazon will launch the first two of its Project Kuiper internet satellites in the fourth quarter of 2,022 in a bid to tap the market for internet satellite constellations, a press statement from the delivery giant reveals.

Amazon announced Project Kuiper last week, alongside a partnership with Verizon, which will provide its telecommunications expertise. The two firms are following in the footsteps of SpaceX’… See more.

Trust in AI. If you’re a clinician or a physician, would you trust this AI?

Clearly, sepsis treatment deserves to be focused on, which is what Epic did. But in doing so, they raised several thorny questions. Should the model be recalibrated for each discrete implementation? Are its workings transparent? Should such algorithms publish confidence along with its prediction? Are humans sufficiently in the loop to ensure that the algorithm outputs are being interpreted and implem… See more.

Earlier this year, I wrote about fatal flaws in algorithms that were developed to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers found two general types of flaws. The first is that model makers used small data sets that didn’t represent the universe of patients which the models were intended to represent leading to sample selection bias. The second is that modelers failed to disclose data sources, data-modeling techniques and the potential for bias in either the input data or the algorithms used to train their models leading to design related bias. As a result of these fatal flaws, such algorithms were inarguably less effective than their developers had promised.

The UK Government recently announced its first-ever National AI Strategy – a 10-year plan aimed at staking a place for the country among the world’s AI superpowers.

There’s an odd twist to human physiology not seen in any other primate 0 that makes giving birth more complicated for our species. Now, a study using biomechanical modelling on gait and posture has provided some insights into this long-standing mystery.

The narrow shape of the human birth canal is kinked at the inlet, so that contractions of the mother must rotate the baby’s big brain and wide shoulders nearly 90 degrees to fit into the pelvis.

To figure out how to populate Mars, you need to have the mind of Einstein, the wit of Louis CK and…

How is this explained?

The eggs of these two condors must have been fertilized on their own without the involvement of sperm. Is such a thing even possible? Scientists do think it is possible and this strange process is called Parthenogenesis.

A new startup is selling super-realistic digital humans powered by AI to fill positions in sales, customer support, healthcare, education and more.

The future of Neuromorphic computing and nanotechnology enabling real life Nanosuits is already here according to several leading scientists in that field. Whether it’s the Nanosuit from Iron Man or from Crysis, the nanobots and brain computer interfaces which make those intelligent smart clothes up work in a very similar way.

Neuromorphic computing essentially involves assembling artificial neurons to function based on the principles of the human brain. It works on Spiking Neural Networks or SNNs, where each “neuron” sends independent signals to other neurons. It emulates natural neural networks that exist in biological brains.

Would you rather pay six figures for a flying motorcycle than a high-end supercar? It’s a bet that at least one Japanese company makes.

A.L.I. Technologies have just unveiled a new full-fledged hoverbike to persuade drivers to ditch their expensive four-wheelers in favor of the latest “icon of air mobility.” The XTurismo, a limited edition, went on sale earlier this week.
