Arm has announced details of its latest processors designed for artificial intelligence and machine learning, the Arm Cortex-M55, as well as the first microNPU (Neural Processing Unit), the Ethos-U55 which offer a combined 480x machine learning improvement for microcontrollers. Cortex-M based processors are already powering a vast range of AI …

In any game with a chat function, you’ll inevitably come across offensive messages. Google and FACEIT are attempting to tackle this issue with its new Minerva AI, which uses machine learning to issue warnings to, as well as ban, toxic players. If early tests are any indication, it seems to …

In partnership with Ubisoft, Mozilla will be using Clever-Commit machine learning to detect errors within the Firefox updates before they go live.

A few years ago, the folks behind Google's Deepmind project became interested in training the AI to tackle StarCraft 2. Blizzard helped out by releasing bot creation tools and giving Google access to tens of thousands of recorded StarCraft 2 matches to help train the AI. Significant progress has been …

Take a few minutes and do some research on the evolution of video gaming. While classic games like Pac-Man, the original Super Mario Bros., and the early Final Fantasy games certainly have a retro appeal to them, they pale in comparison to the leading games of the last few years …

Despite the strides made in AI technology, artificial intelligence still carries a heavy stigma with it, prompting fears of the machines rising above humans. This might seem the stuff of fiction, but those in the field know the implications of misplaced values in a system designed to think and act …

Back in February 2017, Valve revealed that it was implementing a new approach to catch out cheaters in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. You'll often find users online complaining about cheaters in CS:GO, and VAC bans usually come in slow waves. To tackle this, Valve turned to machine learning to catch them …

Ubisoft has had its issues with buggy game launches in the past and while things have improved over time, this has come at the cost of development time, as play tests get underway. In the future, this may not be an issue though, as the publisher has developed an ‘AI …

Earlier today, AMD officially updated its 2018 roadmap with new information on its second generation Ryzen CPUs, APUs and 400-series motherboards. However, CPUs weren't the only focus of AMD's pre-CES festivities, as a small update has also been made to AMD's 2018 to 2020 GPU roadmap. Last year, AMD launched …

This week, Nvidia has expanded the pool of GPUs that can take advantage of the Nvidia GPU Cloud, allowing developers and data scientists to build and test machine learning systems on their own PCs before moving on to something more powerful. The software tool released this week means that TITAN …

As fun as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive can be, you will occasionally run into cheaters and while progress can seem slow at times, Valve does work to fight back against them. Unfortunately, hard-coded cheat detection often leads to an arms race with cheat developers, leading to a constant cycle of new …

Nvidia has today launched a new GPU module known as the Jetson TX1. It's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand but powerful enough to bring GPU accelerated artificial intelligence to robots, drones and other devices. The Jetson TX1 is based on Nvidia's current Maxwell architecture, which …

In an effort to get more developers involved and speed up the advancement in technology, Google has made its machine learning AI engine, known as TensorFlow, open source and freely available. Google has been working on machine learning for some time now, it has helped out with a few projects, …

Intel has announced that it has acquired Saffron Technologies in an effort to improve its machine learning efforts. Saffron Technologies has previously offered predictive analytical data to industries across the spectrum. For now, Intel intends to keep Saffron running as its own standalone business, though it will look in to …

Over the last few years as our portable devices get more and more powerful, battery life has started to take a bit of a hit and unfortunately, nobody has quite figured out how to make bigger, longer-lasting batteries for super thin and light products yet. As a result, companies have …
