There is a man who won the Nobel Prize in Physics for building the brain of artificial intelligence. And that man will tell you, openly, that he has no idea how it actually thinks. Geoffrey Hinton, ...

Can we ever really trust algorithms to make decisions for us? Previous research has proved these programs can reinforce society’s harmful biases, but the problems go beyond that. A new study shows how ...

Every organism you have ever seen, every ecosystem you have ever walked through, is the ongoing output of an algorithm that ...

Supervised learning algorithms learn from labeled data, where the desired output is known. These algorithms aim to build a model that can predict the output for new, unseen input data. Let’s take a ...

Humans have struggled to make truly intelligent machines. Maybe we need to let them get on with it themselves. A little stick figure with a wedge-shaped head shuffles across the screen. It moves in a ...

Machine learning is hard. Algorithms in a particular use case often either don't work or don't work well enough, leading to some serious debugging. And finding the perfect algorithm–the set of rules a ...

AI could learn to form digital cartels in an effort to maximize profits Algorithms now determine how much things cost. It’s called dynamic pricing and it adjusts according to current market conditions ...

An algorithm commonly used by hospitals and other health systems to predict which patients are most likely to need follow-up care classified white patients overall as being more ill than black ...
