How, then, can a single algorithm guide different robotic systems to make the best decisions to move through their surroundings?

Most people expect algorithms to make recommendations on the basis of maximizing some specific outcome, and many people are fine with that in amoral domains, according to the researchers. For example, ...

In another example, a commonly used algorithm for predicting the success of vaginal birth after a prior cesarean (VBAC) delivery predicts lower success for Black and Hispanic mothers relative to ...

The Justice in Forensic Algorithms Act aims to ensure that when algorithmic analyses are used as evidence in court, defendants get to know how the tools reached their conclusions and allow them to ...

Stanley is a pioneer in a field of artificial intelligence called neuroevolution, which co-opts the principles of biological evolution to design smarter algorithms. With Picbreeder, each image was ...

Filterworld author Kyle Chayka examines the algorithms that dictate what we watch, read and listen to. He argues that machine-guided curation makes us docile consumers.

It doesn’t take much to make machine-learning algorithms go awry The rise of large-language models could make the problem worse ...

Researchers have discovered a new charging algorithm that could completely revolutionize Li-ion battery life by doubling it.
