A robot addressing a Lords committee evinced a clarity and personality all too lacking at the top of the Tory partyTake one day. Today. The Bank of England has again intervened to ensure there isn’t a fire sale of UK government bonds by pension funds. The Institute of Fiscal Studies has published a report saying the government will have to find £60bn of spending cuts over four years to pay for the recent mini-budget. The International Monetary Fund has restated its criticism of said

Ai-Da, described as ‘world’s first ultra-realistic robot artist’, struggles at times to answer peers’ questionsIn a groundbreaking hearing, a robot “gave evidence” to a House of Lords committee on Tuesday – where it read typos from its pre-written script, struggled to hear questions, and needed to be rebooted halfway through the session.“Ai-Da”, described by its creator, Aiden Meller, as “the world’s first ultra-realistic robot ar

A robot has addressed the House of Lords for the first time, telling a committee that artificial intelligence could be a 'threat and opportunity' to artists.The robot named Ai-Da, devised in Oxford by Aidan Meller, gave evidence to the communications and digital committee as part of an inquiry into the future of the arts, design, fashion and music industries and how AI might affect them.With rapidly developing AI, growing accessibility to super computers and machine learning on the ride, Ai-Da &

The system, called QUARTZ (for QUantitative Analysis of Retinal vessels Topology and siZe), uses retinal vasculature imaging and known individual risk factors to determine a person’s likelihood of developing heart disease. The retina serves as a “non-invasive window” into a person’s circulatory syste

Cutting-edge electronics, including electric vehicles and the latest smartphones, all depend on batteries whose chemistries are still largely developed manually by trial and error. Now, a new study reveals that artificial intelligence can direct robots in rapidly finding advanced new battery formulations. A team of scientists detailed their findings online 27 September in the journal Nature. Communications.The conventional techniques for developing new batteries can take years because researcher
