Artificial Intelligence (AI) can speed up the development of safe, clean and virtually limitless fusion energy for generating electricity, claim researchers. A team of scientists at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and Princeton University are applying deep learning to forecast sudden disruptions that can halt fusion reactions and damage the doughnut-shaped tokamaks that house the reactions. "This research opens a promising new chapter in the effort to bring unlimited…

Chatbots may have become ubiquitous in recent times, assisting businesses in everything from bill payments to customer services, but these automated algorithms still struggle to grasp the nuances of human language and context of conversations. In order to improve user-experience, researchers at IBM India are using artificial intelligence (AI) to make chatbots more emphatic and personalised so that they can meet a client's specific needs and provide business value at a much higher scale. According to an estimate,…

While digitisation has delivered great benefits to the country, the threat of automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) displacing jobs is real, Telecom secretary Aruna Sundararajan said on Monday. "Adoption of digital technology has proved to be a great democratiser and leveller in India, especially in doing away with many hierarchies in the Indian economy. But digital is also throwing up as many challenges. There are no easy answers to them," Sundararajan said, while delivering the keynote address at a conference on…

To provide an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based math teaching for the school students, A Bangalore-based EduTech company CarveNiche technologies on Friday announced that "It has partnered with Microsoft Corp to design a new Artificial Intelligence-based math learning programme called beGalileo for school students." The company said that "beGalileo will use the AI technology to collect and analyze the information and customize learning to serve each student according to the performance." "The programme will cover more…

While businesses in India are looking at several customer experience (CX) technologies such as customer analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and digital integration, most of them are not currently able to implement them properly, according to a new report on Monday. However, the research from global ICT solutions and services provider Dimension Data showed that most business respondents in India recognise customer experience as an important competitive differentiator (92.6 per cent) that is also vital for driving…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the next-big-thing, which is partly useful and partly creepy. Having machines learn human behaviour to predict the needs is something that has potential implications on the notions of privacy and security. Addressing these concerns, Google recently released a white paper, outlining five areas where the government can work with civil society and Artificial Intelligence (AI) practitioners to provide guidance on responsible AI development and use. These areas include explainability…

Police in Uttar Pradesh will now be able to solve cases faster with an application that has a database of five lakh criminals as well as AI, face recognition and a host of other tech features, officials said on December 27. Named 'Trinetra' or third eye, it was launched by UP Police chief O P Singh at a conference of senior officers during the annual 'police week' celebrations in Lucknow, a senior official said. The database has been created after bringing together criminal records of the state police, the prisons…

Although artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to disrupt health care, doctors in the UK are sceptical of the technology entirely replacing them, according to a survey. The study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, investigated primary care physicians' views on AI's looming impact on health professions. When it came to predictions about the future of medicine, British general physicians (GPs) were generally sceptical that they could be entirely replaced by AI. "To our knowledge this is the first national survey…

India is at the forefront of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) surge and next year will see more local innovations from the country with broader adoptions across various sectors globally, a top IBM executive said on Friday. According to Sriram Raghavan, Vice President, IBM Research-India and Singapore, 2018 have been an exciting year for IBM Research India lab with some path-breaking work coming out of it. "The team's contribution in the area of trusted AI is now part of IBM AI Open Scale and continues to be the focus…

Swedish networking and telecom major Ericsson on Thursday said it had opened a global Artificial Intelligence (AI) accelerator in this tech hub for research and development (R&D) in AI and Automation. "The new facility will accelerate our execution strategy by leveraging AI and Automation technologies to create data driven, intelligent and robust systems for automation, evolution and growth," said the company in a statement here. The Bengaluru facility will create 150 jobs for data scientists, engineers, Machine…
