Artificial Intelligence (AI) is much more than a buzzword now. It powers facial recognition in smartphones and computers, translation between other languages, spam email filtering, social media toxic content detection, and even cancer tumour diagnosis. These examples, along with a plethora of other existing and emerging AI applications, assist to make people’s life easier, particularly in developed countries. As of October 2021, 44 countries were said to have their own national AI strategic plans in place, demonstrating their desire to lead the global AI race. Emerging economies such as China…

HOW AI IS TRANSFORMING THE WORLD
Even in todays world, most people are not very familiar with the concept of artificial intelligence (AI). As an illustration, when 1,500 senior business leaders in the United States were asked about AI, only 17 percent said they were familiar with it.1 A number of them were not sure what it was or how it would affect their particular companies. They understood there was considerable potential for altering business processes, but were not clear how AI could be deployed within their own organizations. Despite its lack of general familiarity, artificial intelligence…

Air Learning, an open-source simulator and gym environment where researchers may train RL algorithms for UAV navigation, was recently built by researchers at Harvard University and Google Research. This one-of-a-kind environment, described in a study published in Springer Link’s Special Issue on Reinforcement Learning for Real Life, has the potential to improve the performance of autonomous UAVs in real-world scenarios Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms have produced extremely promising results in allowing increased autonomy in robots in recent years. However, most contemporary RL approaches are largely concerned with the architecture of…
