Artificial Intelligence Shows Potential to Gauge Voter Sentiment
Its AI system, trained partly on past elections, analyzed factors such as tone and emotion and projected how that might translate into votes. Expert.ai’s system projected that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden would win 50.2% of the popular vote and Republican President Donald Trump would...
The US Government Will Pay Doctors to Use These AI Algorithms
The artificial intelligence programs can diagnose eye disease in diabetics and complications in stroke patients. The agency has also said it will soon pay for software called IDx-DR, which analyzes photos of a person’s retinas to diagnose diabetic retinopathy, a complication of diabetes that can...

Nokia brings ‘AI to the edge’ for an enhanced 5G experience
The automated wizardry is achieved by deploying AI at the edge, close to the customer. Nokia says AVA QoE at the Edge brings “code to where the data is.”
Deploying reinforcement learning in production using Ray and Amazon SageMaker
Reinforcement learning (RL) is used to automate decision-making in a variety of domains, including games, autoscaling, finance, robotics, recommendations, and supply chain. Launched at AWS re:Invent 2018, Amazon SageMaker RL helps you quickly build, train, and deploy policies learned by RL.

Using social robots to improve children's language skills
To explore the value of social robots in education, researchers at the Norwegian Computing Center recently tried to use them to teach Norwegian to immigrant children residing in the Grorud district in Oslo.
Report: Hyundai in talks to acquire Boston Dynamics
According to Bloomberg, Hyundai Motor is in talks to acquire Boston Dynamics from SoftBank Group. In April 2019, Boston Dynamics acquired Kinema Systems, a Menlo Park, Calif.-based startup that used vision sensors and deep learning to help robots manipulate boxes.
See an elephant-inspired robotic gripper pick up a single grape like a pro
Elephants have amazing trunks. They can pick up small sticks and giant logs with dexterity and ease. That same curling design inspired researchers at the University of New South Wales in Sydney to create a robotic gripper that can grasp everything from a syringe to a hammer.
