Apple’s Siri Cheat Sheet: How to Use Siri for Business

Apple’s Siri Cheat Sheet: How to Use Siri for Business

For many businesses, a big part of staying competitive means being able to utilize new technology to get more done in a shorter period of time. Voice-controlled assistants, such as Apple’s Siri, are innovations that can go a long way in helping companies do exactly this. Siri is a digital tool available on many Apple devices. Using only voice-recognition, it allows users the ability to accomplish a wide range of daily tasks. This can save time by reducing or eliminating the physical inputs that would otherwise be required. During Apple’s 2024 Worldwide Developer Conference, Siri was given its largest overhaul…

Apple Proved That AI Is a Feature, Not a Product

Apple Proved That AI Is a Feature, Not a Product

Apple's otherworldly, flying-saucer headquarters in Cupertino, California, felt like a suitable venue this week for a bold and futuristic revamp of the company’s most prized products. With iPhone sales slowing and rivals gaining ground thanks to the rise of tools like ChatGPT, Apple offered its own generative artificial intelligence vision at its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC).Apple has lately been perceived as a generative AI laggard. Its WWDC offerings failed to persuade some critics, who have branded WWDC’s announcements as downright boring. But with the focus on infusing existing apps and OS features with what the company calls “Apple Intelligence,” the…

MLOps Journey: Building a Mature ML Development Process

MLOps Journey: Building a Mature ML Development Process

Building a great AI system takes more than creating one good model. Instead, you have to implement a workflow that enables you to iterate and continuously improve. Data scientists often lack focus, time, or knowledge about software engineering principles. As a result, poor code quality and reliance on manual workflows are two of the main issues in ML development processes. Using the following three principles helps you build a mature ML development process: Establish a standard repository structure you can use as a scaffold for your projects. Design your scripts, jobs, and pipelines to be idempotent. Treat your pipelines as…

The Secret to Living Past 120 Years Old? Nanobots

The Secret to Living Past 120 Years Old? Nanobots

I’ve had many conversations over the years about life extension, and the idea often meets resistance. People become upset when they hear of an individual whose life has been cut short by a disease, yet when confronted with the possibility of generally extending all human life, they react negatively. “Life is too difficult to contemplate going on indefinitely” is a common response. But people generally do not want to end their lives at any point unless they are in enormous pain—physically, mentally, or spiritually. And if they were to absorb the ongoing improvements of life in all its dimensions, most…

Towards a new era in flexible piezoelectric sensors for both humans and robots

Towards a new era in flexible piezoelectric sensors for both humans and robots

Flexible piezoelectric sensors are essential to monitor the motions of both humans and humanoid robots. However, existing designs are either are costly or have limited sensitivity. In a recent study, researchers from Japan tackled these issues by developing a novel piezoelectric composite material made from electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride nanofibers combined with dopamine. Sensors made from this material showed significant performance and stability improvements at a low cost, promising advancements in medicine, healthcare, and robotics. The world is accelerating rapidly towards the intelligent era -- a stage in history marked by increased automation and interconnectivity by leveraging technologies such as artificial…

Robot radiotherapy could improve treatments for eye disease

Robot radiotherapy could improve treatments for eye disease

Researchers from King's, with doctors at King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, have successfully used a new robot system to improve treatment for debilitating eye disease. The custom-built robot was used to treat wet neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), administering a one-off, minimally invasive dose of radiation, followed by patients' routine treatment with injections into their eye. In the landmark trial, published today in The Lancet, it was found that patients then needed fewer injections to effectively control the disease, potentially saving around 1.8 million injections per year around the world. Wet AMD is a debilitating eye disease, where abnormal…

Researchers create realistic virtual rodent

Researchers create realistic virtual rodent

The agility with which humans and animals move is an evolutionary marvel that no robot has yet been able to closely emulate. To help probe the mystery of how brains control movement, Harvard neuroscientists have created a virtual rat with an artificial brain that can move around just like a real rodent. Bence Ölveczky, professor in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, led a group of researchers who collaborated with scientists at Google's DeepMind AI lab to build a biomechanically realistic digital model of a rat. Using high-resolution data recorded from real rats, they trained an artificial neural network…

AI-powered simulation training improves human performance in robotic exoskeletons

AI-powered simulation training improves human performance in robotic exoskeletons

Researchers at North Carolina State University have demonstrated a new method that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and computer simulations to train robotic exoskeletons to autonomously help users save energy while walking, running and climbing stairs. "This work proposes and demonstrates a new machine-learning framework that bridges the gap between simulation and reality to autonomously control wearable robots to improve mobility and health of humans," says Hao Su, corresponding author of a paper on the work which will be published June 12 in the journal Nature. "Exoskeletons have enormous potential to improve human locomotive performance," says Su, who is an associate…
