2020, a year notable for its many setbacks, was also a year of remarkable progress for technologies like AI and blockchain, as well as digital communications more broadly as they continued to vault over longstanding R&D hurdles as a novel means of coping with the year’s challenges. Looking ahead to 2021, much of the same […]
In a year that has seen all of us adapting to new models for conducting virtually every aspect of our lives (virtually), one thing that has seemingly never failed to carry on the same as ever is artificial intelligence. 202o has been a major year for language AI, in particular, and the stories from throughout […]
In the fascinating world of medical AI, applications that utilize machine learning to solve problems tend to amaze in unexpected ways. True to form, DeepMind, the reigning world Go champion, chess champion, and eternal victor in popular eSports such as Warcraft, may have cut its teeth in the gaming world to get where it is […]
Last week, we looked at how research on a multilingual knowledge base at Google could be forging the beginnings of truly multilingual language AI, marking one of the more interesting recent technological developments for the localization industry. Now, days later, new reports on a study at Facebook AI Research appears to signal even more compelling developments in NLP (natural language processing) than systems that can cross-reference world idioms. Challenging criticisms that NLP agents tend to be flat approximations of human speakers, it […]
What if multilingual AI truly had the ability to make assorted connections spanning a broad knowledge of the world sourced from hundreds of languages? When you enter a piece of text in Google Translate using the ‘Detect language’ feature, an algorithm able to recognize the belonging of specific words and patterns to various world languages selects one of many linguistic frameworks at its disposal, then begins the more linear natural language processing (NLP) task of translating your […]
Have you ever thought about the importance of AI technology localization and the role it has in your communications? For everyone keeping up with our posts on the latest developments in artificial intelligence, two major themes in how AI technology is impacting communications are likely already familiar points of interest: how AI is changing industries that need communication solutions, […]
This week the Harvard Business Review addressed the need for increased thought leadership in regulatory submissions for the tech world pertaining to cloud computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and smart robotics. As the author highlights, these technologies are so disruptive that the question is not only how they should be regulated, but if governments and regulatory bodies […]
With news this week that Google has improved some of the key linguistic functionalities of its search engine’s machine learning algorithms – including an AI spell check improvement that Google’s head of search considers more important by itself than the previous five years’ progress – it is an interesting moment in the brief history of […]
A lot has happened in the two weeks since the natural language processing wonder known as GPT-3 shook the AI world with news that Microsoft now has exclusive rights to begin developing applications with it. Sticking to GPT-3, there may or may not be any residual shock value in reports that the algorithm recently enjoyed […]
When heavyweight technologies, such as blockchain and quantum computing, begin to clash, it isn’t always a straightforward matter of competition. Beyond the inevitable struggles for dominance that arise within technological sectors, separate spheres of technology can sometimes create existential threats for each other despite sharing little of a marketplace in common. Just as interesting, these […]
When bombarded almost weekly with reports of the latest hair-raising machine learning or facial recognition capabilities, it is easy to tune out the rising clamor over advancing AI while a human-obsolete world fails to materialize in our midst. Even so, headlines this week like Microsoft Gets Exclusive Access to AI Deemed ‘Too Dangerous To Release’ […]
Among recent technological benchmarks, 3D printing is unique in its potential to “democratize” technical innovation for consumers worldwide. Also referred to as Additive Manufacturing, or AM, 3D printing has managed in the few years since its emergence to not only enhance the precision and complexity of physical production, but also to eliminate many of the […]
