Artificial Intelligence
Is AI now advanced enough for us to regulate it?
The global search for education: what's your take on singularity and the threat to humanity? Millennial bloggers weigh in their thoughts. Singularity. It’s discussed by futurists and by scientists. Then there are the rest of us grappling to get our heads around the 'reality' that within a decade or so, Artificial Intelligence will cause machines to become 'smarter' than human beings. What does all of this mean for quality of life ...
Imaging co-processor accelerates development of self-drive cars
A key innovation that will help the rapid development of autonomous cars has been announced by EnSilica. Its eSi-ADAS RADAR Imaging Co-processor will accelerate the commercialisation of autonomous vehicles by solving the current problem of RADAR data overload and resolution by handling this in a dedicated co-processor to enable tracking of potentially hundreds of objects to be made in real time.
