We can’t ask them, so scientists have devised an experiment.
How close are we to human teleportation? Successes in quantum teleportation experiments abound.
A new interactive documentary “How Normal Am I?” helps reveal the shortcomings of facial recognition technology.
The majority of Americans are stressed, sleep-deprived and overweight and suffer from largely preventable lifestyle diseases such as heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes. Being overweight or obese contributes to […]
It doesn’t help that Hollywood has cast the ‘coder’ as a socially challenged, type-first-think-later hacker, inevitably white and male.
It is often assumed that AI will become so advanced that the technology will be able to do anything. In reality, there are limits.
