Quartz describes an MIT study with the surprising conclusion that at least in some circumstances, an algorithm can not only sift numbers faster than humans (after all, that's what computers are best at), but also discern relevant factors within a complex data set more accurately and more quickly tha...

Two robots talking to each other in a Pull Request

An investigation has been launched into the death of a 22-year-old contractor this week at a Volkswagen plant in Germany after an industrial robot grabbed him and crushed him against a metal plate, officials said.

Here's one quick way the technological singularity, strong AI (or "artificial general intelligence") could happen, to convince even the most skeptical of readers that it is absolutely possible.

In mid-April, 90 countries and dozens of nongovernmental organizations met in Geneva to discuss the challenges raised by lethal autonomous weapons, and a consortium of more than 50 NGOs called for a pre-emptive ban.

Watson was just 4 years old when it beat the best human contestants onJeopardy! As it grows up and goes out into the world, the question becomes: How afraid of it should we be?

Of course Naoki doesn’t get the jokes, or enjoy the music, or feel his mouth watering over the cookies. Though we might refer to a person-shaped robot as “him,” we know it’s just a collection of metal parts and circuit boards.

We've covered Intuitive Surgical's da Vinci surgical robot for years. In fact, to some, the system's long history—1.5 million surgeries dating back to 2000—may be one of its most surprising attribu...

Dreams for the future include telesurgery—where we might install a surgical robot in a field hospital thousands of miles away, and operated by a top surgeon, it would (securely) transport his or her skills around the globe to where they're most needed—and maybe, much further on, some degree of autonomy.

Following simple programmed rules, autonomous robots arrange themselves into vast, complex shapes

“Form a sea star shape,” directs a computer scientist, sending the command to 1,024 little bots simultaneously via an infrared light. The robots begin to blink at one another and then gradually arrange themselves into a five-pointed star. “Now form the letter K.”

'Smart' drones with neural sense-and-avoid systems are in production

Bio Inspired has built a "brain" out of memristors - resistors that have a short memory. They're hooked up like the neurons in a biological brain, giving the chip-sized system the ability to recognise and "remember" objects like clouds, birds, buildings, radio towers and other drones - as well as using a camera to estimate how far away they are.

The robot - which goes by the name Random Darknet Shopper - was part of an art installation meant to explore the dark web

Robots leading the charge with Israel's soldiers - the new 'advance guard' robot army will be tested in exercises in a world first.

A face only a robot mother could love

Yes, the machines are getting smarter, and they’re coming for more and more jobs.

As yet another tech pioneer with no connection to artificial intelligence steps out to voice his fears about AI being catastrophic for the human race, I feel..
