It’s no secret that machine-learning models tuned and tweaked to near-perfect performance in the lab often fail in real settings. This is typically put down to a mismatch between the data the AI was trained and tested on and the data it encounters in the ... (more…)

A paper in the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research goes a step further, warning that it could become fundamentally impossible to control a superintelligent AI. (more…)

Engineers at MIT are in the throes of developing a new kind of robot equipped with the ability to feel objects using its sense of sight, and see them though touch. (more…)

Machine learning has a problem with data mismanagement and a culture where anything goes, according to a recent AI research survey. (more…)
