EA wants to make things more lifelike

Boffins at Electronic Arts are testing recent advances in artificial intelligence as a way to speed the development process and make games more lifelike using AI.

Neural processing makes better photors

All of a sudden, everyone became a better photographer, and this is due more to machine learning and neural processing units in modern phones, rather than people mastering the skill.

Even if they bathe more

The rise of artificial intelligence will make even software engineers less attractive according to tech billionaire boss of Twitter, Jack Dorsey.

GPUs are not optimised for an AI workload

AI has ushered in a new golden age of semiconductor innovation as flaws in the use of GPUs to do the number crunching are getting annoying.

TSMC 7nm, next-gen Hopper 5nm

There have been rumors for quite some time about the Nvidia Ampere and the manufacturing nod. Nvidia’s first AI-based solution comes from TSMC, while some GPUs will be manufactured by Samsung too.

Somestimes accuracy is not everything 

A study from Google Health -- the first to look at the impact of a deep-learning tool in real clinical settings -- reveals that even the most accurate AIs can actually make things worse if not tailored to the clinical environments in which they will work.

Get Amped 

Roughly two months after the original GTC 2020 schedule, Nvidia is ready to host the GTC 2020 spring keynote. The choice of words "Get Amped” in the press release gives you an idea that 7nm Ampere might get released at that time.  

Humans smell

AI is being used to spot the difference between human users and fake accounts on Twitter.

Do we blame it on the dog?

Researchers have developed a new machine-learning algorithm that can determine whether a human or a dog deposited ancient excrement.

Will open source it

Software King of the World Microsoft has developed a system that it claims correctly distinguishes between security and non-security software bugs 99 percent of the time, and that accurately identifies the critical, high-priority security bugs on average 97 percent of the time.
