Here you can learn more about what AI really is - the basics to more advanced concepts.

 

Interesting Facts

AI can predict earthquakes and volcanoes and other natural disasters.

Little patterns in seismic waves and earthquake data analysis by AI has made higher accurate predictions.

 

AI is restoring vintage and broken photos

NVIDIA developed a process in AI called "Image Inpainting" to restore photos by pixels filling in the missing pixels.

 

AI is helping us attack cancer

In what ways? Some examples are:

  • Analyse large databases for pattern to learn more about the cancer's mechanisms - helping patient outcomes.
  • Predicting tumour's response to treatments.
  • Detecting and outlining a 3D model of tumours in the lungs in CTs that some doctors miss seeing.

 

Female-like voice is most common in AI bots

The reason? Robotic scientists and tech businesses think both genders prefer a smoother voice rather than a harsh male voice. Examples include Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant, and more.
