Diving through the layers of Artificial Intelligence

When reading about artificial intelligence we see terms like neural networks, deep learning, machine learning, reinforcement learning and more thrown about. Some of these terms are often interrelated and can be substituted to discuss the same subject matter, whereas others are mutually exclusive. In this post, I aim to provide clarity on the various subgroups… Read more Diving through the layers of Artificial Intelligence

What Are Neural Networks?

Intelligence can be described as “the ability to perceive information, retain it as knowledge, and apply it to adaptive behaviors within an environment or context” [1]. The ability to exercise intelligence has been a key differentiator between animals and computers. The prior has a complex brain that is able to simultaneously digest various bits of… Read more What Are Neural Networks?

Racing The Tortoise And The Hare

  We all know the classic tortoise and hare race. The tortoise starts slow and conserves energy while the much more agile hare speeds ahead, yet still loses. While this is a children’s tale, we are seeing an eerily similar competition unfurl in the tech and business landscape. The hare, in this case, is a… Read more Racing The Tortoise And The Hare

An Introduction to Quantum Computing

The traditional computer is made up of billions of transistors, which are turned on and off to store what is known as a ‘bit’. These bits are placed together in 8’s to form bytes, which are then packaged as kilobytes and so on. The more complex a command is the greater the number of bits… Read more An Introduction to Quantum Computing

Road rules for robots: Driverless car legislation in California

California’s status as the country’s epicenter for technology and innovation is potentially at risk when it comes to new driverless technology. While California has approved 27 licenses for test driverless vehicles on its roads, it imposes relatively strict regulations on how they can be operated. For example, they must be occupied by a trained professional… Read more Road rules for robots: Driverless car legislation in California
