Artificial intelligence (AI) uses computer systems to replicate human intelligence, and its influence stretches across a multitude of disciplines.
One application brings together AI with ancient coins. Researchers at Scotland’s St. Andrews have developed a machine learning-based method for understanding images of ancient coins. AI has also been used to map human emotions, assist with learning sign language, and designed into a robotic hand.
With its widespread reach, educators are looking to expand AI concepts in STEM education programs. In ECN’s April STEM column, Corinne Bernstein discussed the importance AI in the education system, saying the U.S. should follow China’s decision to require all K-12 students to learn about AI.
Although, not all applications are benevolent. DARPA is looking to defend against adversarial AI with its Guaranteeing AI Robustness against Deception (GARD) program.
