When it comes to decision making, it might seem that computers are less biased than humans. But algorithms can be just as biased as the people who create them.

In a paper published in Nature on 28th January 2016, we describe a new approach to computer Go. This is the first time ever that a computer program “AlphaGo” has defeated a human professional player. The game of Go is widely viewed as an unsolved “grand challenge” for artificial intelligence. Games

While the vast majority of Americans consider themselves unprejudiced, many of us unintentionally make snap judgments about people based on what we see—whether it’s race, age, gender, religion, sexuality, or disability. This may be a significant reason many people in the U.S. report they feel discri

How close are technologies to simulating or overtaking human intelligence and what are the implications for industry and society? Speakers: -Matthew Grob, Executive Vice-President and Chief Technology Officer, Qualcomm, USA. -Andrew Moore, Dean, School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University...

From a science fiction dream to a critical part of our everyday lives, artificial intelligence is everywhere. You probably don't see AI at work, and that's by design. AI is changing everything. But do we want it to?

The "AI Bar", developed by DataSparQ, helps make ordering in busy boozers easier, faster and fairer by using the latest facial recognition technology to put punters in an “intelligently virtual” queue.

Starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Turing and Game of Thrones’s Charles Dance as Alastair Denniston, the film follows the story of Turing’s recruitment into Britain’s Government Code and Cypher School during WWII to decrypt Nazi communicae. Often thought of as the “father of theoretical computer scien

From smart houses to self-driving cars, the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are virtually limitless. The construction industry is by no means immune to these developments. It’s an incredibly exciting time for our sector as numerous pioneers and research teams develop robot

Ostagram is based off DeepDream, a software pioneered by Google under the codename Inception and the obvious inspiration for the art style's name. What this means is that Ostagram finds patterns within images and attempts to bring these patterns together into a resulting image–a process referred to

Alan Turing was born 103 years ago on June 23, 1912. Google celebrates "the father of computer science and artificial intelligence" with an interactive "intelligence test doodle". It's a kind of "Turing machine". The Alan Turing doodle that Google posted on the occasion of British mathematician and...
