Scientists are using artificial intelligence to identify genetic sequences molded by evolutionary pressures.

Teaching AI how to combine smaller models to understand complex situations has been a major stumbling block for machine learning research.

Google is bringing Disney books to life using AI.

Numenta’s “The Thousand Brains Theory of Intelligence”.

The “AI for Social Good” contest has a prize pool of $25 million.

Okay Google, feed the hungry.

If a recent project using Google’s DeepMind were a recipe, you would take a pair of AI systems, images of animals, and a whole lot of computing power. Mix it all together, and you’ d get a series of imagined animals dream ed up by one of the AIs. A look through the research paper about the project—or this open Google Folder of images it produced—will likely lead you to agree that the results are a mix of impressive and downright eerie.

But t he eerie factor doesn’t mean the project shouldn’t be considered a success and a step forward for future uses of AI.

A factory where robots make robots is surely the stuff of nightmares for those living in fear of the dreaded uprising. But putting apocalyptic horrors aside for a moment, ABB’s new site could be one of the most advanced facilities of its kind when it opens in 2020 with plans to make 100,000 robots a year.

It’s one of the many programs the agency will fund under its $2 billion next-generation artificial intelligence initiative.
