[ad_1] The initial interface will use external computing hardware to interpret spine signals. In the long term, the collaborators would like a wholly implanted system to make the connection. This is something of a moonshot, and there’s no guarantee the project will end with a surefire solution for paralysis. It should still be useful even […]

Phone app detects eye disease in kids through photos
[ad_1] Scientists tested the app with nearly 53,000 photos of 40 children, half of whom had eye diseases. Out of those, the AI system spotted 16 instances an average of 1.3 years before doctors made a diagnosis. When retinoblastoma can start migrating to the brain in as little as six months after white eye becomes […]
Tesla reportedly buys AI startup that helps self-driving cars see
[ad_1] The deal hasn’t been officially confirmed. We’ve asked Tesla for comment. However, it’s clear that something is afoot. DeepScale chief Forrest Iandola stated on LinkedIn that he joined Tesla’s Autopilot team “this week,” and that he was working on autonomous driving. CNBC sources said that Tesla bought DeepScale “outright.” An acquisition would make sense. […]
Apple’s Deep Fusion photography comes to iPhone 11s in beta
[ad_1] Deep Fusion takes an underexposed photo for sharpness, and blends that with three neutral pictures and a long high-exposure image on a per-pixel level to achieve a highly customized result. The machine learning system examines the context of the picture to understand where a pixel sits on the frequency spectrum. Pixels for clouds will […]
Autoblow AI is a sex toy that promises ‘surprise’
[ad_1] Autoblow was started back in 2008 with its first eponymous product that sought to mechanically simulate oral sex. Creator Brian Sloan went on to crowdfund backing for the Autoblow 2 in 2014, with additional campaigns for two more hardware revisions, the 2+ in 2016 and 2+XT in 2017. All of them blew past their […]
Facebook’s latest AI experiment helps you pick what to wear
[ad_1] Facebook trained Fashion++ by showing the AI thousands of images of outfits that were deemed “fashionable.” What’s innovative about the AI is that it offers suggestions that are subtle. It won’t, for example, recommend that you go out of your way to buy an entirely new outfit. Instead, it will suggest swapping one or […]
AI can gauge the risk of dying from heart conditions
[ad_1] The approach is based on the notion that greater variability between heartbeats reflects greater risk. Scientists trained the machine learning system using historical data for patient outcomes. If a patient survived, their heartbeats were deemed relatively normal; if a patient died, their heart activity was considered risky. The ultimate risk score comes by averaging […]
Adobe Premiere Pro can automatically reframe your videos
[ad_1] If you were around during the VHS era, you may already be familiar with the process of changing aspect ratios. “Pan and scan” editing was used to convert 16:9 theatrical movie prints into 4:3 home videos. Editors had to move the footage frame by frame to make sure all relevant visuals stayed on-screen. Today, […]
Things get weird when a neural net is trained on text adventure games
[ad_1] The answer is pretty weird. Shane aptly describes the experience as “dreamlike,” with the setting frequently, and seemingly without reason, changing from scene to scene. For example, in one playthrough, the AI opened the game with a scene set in space only then to quickly transition things to a “labyrinth of twisty little passages, […]
Google Assistant on Pixel 4 may handle calls while you’re on hold
[ad_1] This might not be available the moment the Pixel 4 is ready, however. The on-hold feature is relatively young, according to the source, and might only appear at an announcement as a teaser of what’s in the pipeline. There’s also no mention of whether or not the feature would extend to other Android phones, […]
