We can capture moments in the world around us in the form of photographs thanks to the technology we use in our daily lives. However, the method can only produce a 2D representation of the 3D world we observe. Scientists have been attempting to generate 3D instances from these 2D images, and Nvidia may have developed game-changing technology in this regard. The new capability, dubbed Instant NeRF, was unveiled at Nvidia GTC, a global conference for AI developers. The technology is a step forward from NeRF, or neural radiance field,…

The Indian government is seen to be working on a super app for farmers in the country, which would combine various important elements such as weather and market information, advisories for different zones, government initiatives, and more. This super app, according to the Economic Times, will merge many apps produced by several government departments under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. AgriMarket is one of these apps, which allows farmers to get the market price of commodities within 50 kilometres of their current location. Agriculture officers can use the…

Unanimous AI has been predicting Oscar winners, and the results have been astounding. Using its patented Swarm Technology, the company has predicted which actors and films will win in 16 award categories with an average of 90% accuracy. What is the process behind it? The company’s Swarm AI technology optimises a group’s combined knowledge, wisdom, insights, and intuitions into a unified output by combining real-time human input with AI algorithms – essentially creating an artificial super expert. In other words, forming hive minds. The Academy Awards will be held on…

Artificial intelligence is on the verge of revolutionizing medical technology.  The potential for AI to deliver more accurate, efficient, and effective therapies at precisely the right time in a patient’s care is essentially endless in nearly every aspect of treatment, from chronic diseases and cancer to radiography and risk assessment. Artificial intelligence is set to be the engine pushing innovations throughout the continuum of care as the amount of available data continues to expand at an alarming rate. The advantages of AI over traditional analytics and clinical decision-making methodologies are…

Precision ALS, an ambitious Irish research initiative, will integrate clinical research, data science, and artificial intelligence (AI) to discover the numerous — and potentially targetable — elements that contribute to the development and progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Instead of a one-size-fits-all strategy, the idea is to use this information to decide which treatments will work for each patient. “Despite significant advances in pre-clinical models that help us understand the biology of disease in animals, the success of clinical trials has been disappointing,” Orla Hardiman, MD, the project’s director…
