At the “Generative AI: Shaping the Future” symposium held on Nov. 28, Rodney Brooks, iRobot co-founder and a keynote speaker, cautioned attendees against overestimating the capabilities of generative AI. Noting that “No one technology has ever surpassed everything else”, Brooks stressed that flippant assumptions about the inferred abilities of generative AI could lead to failure.…
In the age of artificial intelligence, computers can generate "art" using diffusion models. However, this often involves a complex, time-consuming process requiring multiple iterations for the algorithm to perfect the image. MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) researchers have now launched a new technique that simplifies this process into a single step using…
In 2016, Go grandmaster Lee Sedol, known as the world's best human Go player at the time, was defeated in a series of games by AlphaGo, an artificial intelligence (AI) system developed by Google's AI unit, DeepMind. This historic encounter marked the first-ever loss of a professional human Go player to an AI system. Now,…
