AI can determine your personality through eye movements

A global team of scientists have discovered AI can tell an individual’s personality traits by analysing their eye movements. The scientists used machine learning to discover a link between eye movements and the personality of a person earlier this year. Armed with this information, the researchers deployed AI to analyse the eye movements of 42 students. The results were announced last week. In psychology, there are five basic personality traits: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Openness,...

Animal testing is next to be replaced by artificial intelligence

Animals can breathe a sigh of relief as researchers promote switching to artificial intelligence for testing instead of mammals. In Europe alone, the nine most frequently done animal tests in 2011 were fatal 57 percent of the time. There’s little wonder animal rights activists have protested the controversial practice for decades. Humankind often prioritises money over humanity, it’s an unfortunate fact that doesn’t appear set to change anytime soon. Fortunately, the researchers believe...

Google’s old AI boss is now at Apple in charge of Siri and ML efforts

Google's poached head of search and artificial intelligence is now leading Siri and machine learning efforts at rival Apple. John Giannandrea joined Google back in 2010 before stepping down in April this year. He announced he'd been hired by Apple the following day, but in what position had been a mystery until now. It was obvious Giannandrea would be stepping into a big role at Apple, and that's exactly what's happened. AI is becoming increasingly important and an area where Google is seen...

AI can predict the spread of nuclear fallout in advance to save lives

Researchers have built an AI capable of predicting the spread of nuclear fallout in advance to limit the impact and save lives. The fallout occurred from a nuclear power plant accident is going to be devastating. Aside from the human impact, we’ve only got to look at Chernobyl to see how the environment can remain damaged for decades. A new AI system developed in Japan, developed by a team from the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo, can accurately predict the...

UNICRI AI and Robotics Centre: AI will transform our world

Speaking at AI Expo in Amsterdam, Irakli Beridze from the AI and Robotics Centre at UNICRI provided his thoughts on how AI will transform our world. Irakli started with a positive note that’s easily forgotten: never has the world been more safe, connected, and prosperous. “We have developed technologies which have the potential to solve problems we never thought were possible,” says Beridze. “Most of them are related to the UN’s sustainable development goals.” World-Changing...

AI Expo: Evolving to emotionally intelligent applications

Speaking at AI Expo in Amsterdam, BPU Holdings CTO Carlos Art Nevarez believes it's time for machines to become emotionally intelligent. Machines are becoming increasingly smart thanks to artificial intelligence, but they still remain cold, logical, and lacking emotion. Worse still, they have a bias problem. “We are teaching the machine to synthetically emulate emotional intelligence to better relate to how you and I feel,” states Nevarez. “So many exciting applications present...

AI Expo: TomTom will tell users what road trip they’ll enjoy most

Automotive solutions giant TomTom will be enhancing its Road Trips service using machine learning to tell users what their next road trip should be. Like everything in life, we all have our preference as to what kind of roads we like to drive. Some like big open highways, others like windy country roads. Some like rolling hills, others prefer to keep things flat. TomTom’s Road Trips is a community-based service which features some routes from TomTom itself but mostly relies on users to...

Embracing the power of AI: The process behind starting an AI project

You want to start an AI project – but what processes do you need to bear in mind, how do you manage the data, and what do you need to look at when it comes to team composition and testing? In this extract from Embracing the Power of AI, Javier Minhondo, Juan José López Murphy, Haldo Spontón, Martín Migoya, and Guibert Englebienne outline how to get through these crucial initial stages.

The process

Getting a grasp of the business needs is crucial, as is understanding the data...

Google has an AI which predicts death better than doctors

google ai predict death artificial intelligence

Google has unveiled a new AI which it believes can predict if and when a patient is going to die more reliably than doctors. The algorithm can quickly access a patient’s medical records for important data which could indicate the likelihood of their survival. Death comes for us all, the best we can hope for is that it’s later rather than sooner and we get the chance to say goodbye. Google’s AI would reduce the chances of a death occurring suddenly while in the care of a hospital. A...

IBM’s AI will debate until you learn your mistakes, feeble human

IBM has unveiled Project Debater, a conversational artificial intelligence which can hold a debate using information from journals and newspaper articles. Project Debater began its training six years ago but it could only hold a debate with people two years ago. A demo was held for journalists at IBM’s offices in San Francisco where the AI debated issues relating to healthcare and the subsidisation of space exploration. The company didn’t give its AI an easy time either – it was...
