In science fiction and real life alike, there are plenty of horror stories where humans trust artificial intelligence too much. They range from letting the fictional SkyNet control our nuclear weapons to letting Patriots shoot down friendly planes or letting Tesla Autopilot crash into a truck.
Particle physicists began fiddling with artificial intelligence (AI) in the late 1980s, just as the term "neural network" captured the public's imagination. Their field lends itself to AI and machine-learning algorithms because nearly every experiment centers on finding subtle spatial patterns in the countless, similar readouts of complex particle detectors-just the sort of thing at which AI excels.
A newly developed data processing from NEC utilises computing and communications technologies to accelerate the performa...
Thank you for joining! Access your Pro+ Content below. Focus: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Artificial Intelligence and the sub-set of it which is machine learning are hot.
