Technology News from the World's Most Influential Companies
According to a recent report on Teslarati, the (un)official site for all Tesla Motors fans, Tesla CEO Elon Musk thinks that LIDAR technology is just too expensive for autonomous driving, and that the same end result can be accomplished with a combination of cameras and regular radar capability. What is LIDAR? LIDAR is essentially an…
There is no doubt that we are currently experiencing the golden age of artificial intelligence, although that should not mean that this is as good as it gets for the technology. In fact, it should only be the start before another golden age is produced in the future. According to recent surveys that have been…
Electric automobiles long ago shed their image as flimsy, slow, and possibly slightly humiliating. Priorities of the public have shifted. Many people, particularly members of the younger generation, consider environmental stewardship as more important than speeding down the interstate in a beautiful muscle vehicle. Even if that’s not always true, newer electric vehicles have a…
While many companies currently have Business Intelligence (BI) solutions, there is a real need to lean into an entirely new generation of analytics to truly get the value from their data. The advanced data analytics software available to organizations today gives users more control over their usage by leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to maximize the…
The way we drive is changing. From futuristic Hollywood movies to sci-fi fiction novels, the idea of driverless cars has been around for some time now – but it’s never felt as close to becoming reality as it does today. The UK’s Department for Transport wants fully autonomous cars on the road by 2021. The…
The thought of self-driving cars seems like a futuristic fever dream you imagined during your early childhood. Though we may still be eons away from flying cars brought to life on The Jetsons, Blade Runner, and Harry Potter, the reality of autonomous vehicles is nearer than ever before. While the vast majority of car manufacturers…
Artificial intelligence is not only changing the face of technology as we know it but also causing a seismic shift in the workforce and the talent and skills that the younger workforce, in particular, needs to own and exhibit in order to survive an ever-evolving technological future. AI in its current form has its origins…
Automatic Gadgets That are a Boon for Busy People You are already 50% less tired when you come back from work to a neat and tidy house. Cleaning before and after a busy day can be a put off for most of us. A few years ago, robots were only a possibility in movies. However,…
Nils Nilsson, a pioneer in the field of robotics and considered by many to be a foundational force for artificial intelligence, died after a brief period of hospice care. Nilsson passed away at his Medford, Oregon residence on April 23. He was the Kumagai Professor of Engineering, Emeritus, in the Department of Computer Science at…
We are yet to see a holistic framework for the ethical development of artificial intelligence applications that can be applied to every industry in every country around the world. A lot of work is being done by corporate entities as well as academia, not to mention special-interest groups that warn of the dangers of uncontrolled…
There’s AI research, and then there’s AI implementation. Companies with little or no experience in core AI research capabilities can easily become leaders in a thin field. Amazon did it in cloud computing even though it was not a pioneer, and other companies are doing the same in AI. Now take several steps backwards and…
Azure stack is Microsoft’s commercial hybrid cloud platform that can be used to deliver Azure services from on-premise datacenters.Azure Stack is an extension of Azure, Microsoft’s cloud computing platform to on-premise environments. Customers can use Azure Stack to build, deploy and operate hybrid clouds. Azure stack gives users the ability to run their own autonomous…
The DARPA Grand Challenge, subsequently reborn as the Urban Challenge, the Robotics Challenge and the FANG Challenge, has always been about pushing the boundaries of technology. Whether it’s about autonomous vehicles racing through the desert or robots working in dangerous environments, the core objective has been to achieve the impossible – or, at the very…
Artificial intelligence applications have seen an incredible boost in recent years. More and more big companies and developers are investing in projects linked to artificial intelligence, while consumers around the globe have started to widely embrace semi-autonomous cars powered by AI. As the industry is set to grow even further in the next few years,…
What is an AI Accelerator? An Artificial Intelligence Accelerator or AI Accelerator is a system or processor that facilitates hardware acceleration for AI applications. They are typically used in processor-intensive tasks such as machine learning, artificial neural networks, machine vision, natural language processing, and other AI workloads. Data-intensive tasks like robotics and sensor-intensive ones like…
