Unsurprisingly, artificial intelligence is a small part — albeit an important one — of a successful product management strategy.

The robots are sparing us the pains of tomorrow.

Picking up and examining pebbles of fuel is just the first step.

OEC promoting STEM education in Africa.

If we know a protein’s structure, we can make educated guesses about its function. And by mapping thousands of protein structures, we can begin to decipher the biology of life.

Recent advances in the field of robotics have enabled the fabrication of increasingly sophisticated robotic limbs and exoskeletons. Robotic exoskeletons are essentially wearable ‘shells’ made of different robotic parts. Exoskeletons can improve the strength, capabilities and stability of users, helping them to tackle heavy physical tasks with less effort or aiding their rehabilitation after accidents.

It is the OEC biggest challenge.

Google’s parent, Alphabet, has waded through one controversy after another involving its top researchers and executives in the field over the past 18 months.

Senior citizens are accustomed to constant probes by doctors, but wireless AI tech is enabling massive-scale, nonintrusive data monitoring.

An online tool targets only a small slice of what’s out there, but may open some eyes to how widely artificial intelligence research fed on personal images.
