Artificial intelligence and computer science researchers say getting machines to do the right thing has turned out to be relatively easy. But getting machines to do the right thing — the ethical thing — now that’s a different problem.
Now, two University of Florida scientists will use artificial intelligence to analyze millions of bits of genetic data to try to keep cattle cooler and thus, more productive.
A new study shows the eye size of birds can reveal broad patterns of their biology and behavior, including where they live, what they eat and how they hunt, providing a potential roadmap for future conservation efforts.
