The human brain creates ‘summaries’ while reading, unlike AI
A recent study by the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology has revealed that, unlike artificial intelligence (AI) models that process long texts in their entirety, the human brain creates “summaries” while we read, facilitating the understanding of subsequent information. Researchers analyzed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans of 219 participants as they listened to […]
Scientists develop AI systems to detect animal emotions
Scientists are training artificial intelligence to recognize animal emotions. Several research teams are developing systems that will improve disease diagnosis and help assess the condition of animals, according to the journal Science. Researchers from the University of the West of England in Bristol and the Scottish Agricultural College are creating Intellipig, an AI system that […]
