Efforts to detect fake news are not as advanced as they would appear, given that the best practices so far rely on pattern detection that can itself be exploited by malicious actors, according to new research from MIT.
The next evolution in artificial intelligence may be a matter of dispensing with all the probabilistic tricks of deep learning, mastering instead a manifold of shifting energy values, according to deep learning's pied piper, Yann LeCun.
A robotic hand solving Rubik’s cube has all the makings of hype headlines, but underlying OpenAI’s latest achievement is some subtler, more interesting science.
After battle-testing the Panasonic Toughbook 55 with a cup of hot coffee, the thing initially seemed fine but later stopped working. Examining the situation suggests both that my coffee test was foolish and unfair but also that Panasonic might want to reconsider one small but important detail of the Toughbook’s design.
Panasonic's new Toughbook 55 has nifty new tricks -- in particular, the ability to insert modules such as extra batteries and a discrete GPU. It also stands up well to hot coffee and falling down a flight of stairs.
For many years, it's been hard to commercialize "MRAM" memory chips because of their unpredictability. But a startup, Spin Memory, is betting that the randomness operating in MRAM might make it an ideal chip for machine learning.
Today's AI is just the beginning of a broader kind of human-computer symbiosis, according to publisher and futurist Tim O'Reilly.
Harvard's Prineha Narang and colleagues hit upon a neat way to compile programs to emerging "noisy" quantum systems, and now they've commercialized the work in a startup Aliro. The company tells ZDNet that the business world is chomping at the bit to get "quantum value" even before such systems reach full-scale commercial deployment.
AMD on Wednesday unveiled yet another monster 64-core part, but it's in the smaller-scale machines that it hopes to sell in high volume and take share from Intel.
Cerebras Systems, the California startup that last month came out of the stealth mode with the world's biggest chip, dedicated to artificial intelligence, announced its first customer for its computer system, the U.S. Department of Energy. The announcement follows announcements earlier this year for future supercomputing systems made by Intel and AMD and Cray.
