We’re excited to launch our new series, where we’ll be speaking with leading researchers to explore the breakthroughs driving AI and the reality of the future promises – to give you an inside perspective on the headlines. Our first interviewee is Ross King, who created the first robot scientist back in 2009. He spoke to

By Sean Nealon Researchers spent five years developing an AI-based model to protect freshwater fish worldwide from extinction, with a particular focus on identifying threats to fish before they become endangered. “People sometimes go in to protect species when it’s already too late,” said Ivan Arismendi, an associate professor in Oregon State University’s Department of

Although text-to-image generation is rapidly advancing, these AI models are mostly English-centric. This increases digital inequality for non-English speakers. Researchers at the University of Amsterdam Faculty of Science have created NeoBabel, an AI image generator that can work in six different languages. By making all elements of their research open source, anyone can build on
