DailyDirt: Artificial Intelligence Is Starting To See Things Now

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

Artificial intelligence projects have gotten more attention over the past few years as some major milestones have been achieved and point to a promising future for AI (or cognitive computing or whatever we want to call it now). Software is getting better and better at recognizing what we're writing and saying... and now it's getting better at seeing what we're up to. Check out a few of these projects where computers are identifying visual images and correctly identifying a wide variety of things.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Speaking of AI's seeing things, will we make "drug" programs for them?

    Or would it be "floppy" seconds?
