A 'neuroshield' could protect citizens from artificial intelligence
Steps to regulate advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-enhanced social media are needed to protect people from AI “hacking” our interpersonal relationships and collective intelligence, says Harris Eyre, fellow in brain health at the Baker Institute.
NeuWS camera answers ‘holy grail problem’ in optical imaging
Engineers from Rice and the University of Maryland have created technology that could allow cameras to "see" through fog, smoke, driving rain, murky water, skin, muscle and other light-scattering obstructions.
Kyrillidis wins grant to address AI’s ‘catastrophic forgetting’
Rice computer scientist Anastasios Kyrillidis has won a Microsoft Research Award to find ways to overcome the problem of “catastrophic forgetting” during the training of artificial intelligence.
Bite this! Mosquito feeding chamber uses fake skin, real blood
Rice bioengineers teamed up with tropical medicine experts from Tulane to invent a high-tech way to study the feeding behavior of mosquitoes. To eliminate the need for live volunteers, the system uses patches of "synthetic skin" made with a 3D bioprinter.
Pathogenic sensor’s surprising capabilities revealed
Rice synthetic biologists have uncovered new capabilities of a genetically encoded sensor that allows salmonella, E. coli and other pathogens to sicken millions of people each year.
Machine learning fine-tunes flash graphene
Rice University scientists are using machine learning techniques to streamline the process of synthesizing graphene from waste through flash Joule heating.
AI technology no silver bullet for hiring the best employees, says new Rice research
Artificial intelligence technology is now used by a growing number of companies looking to hire the best employees, but new research from Rice University warns how it can incorporate biases and overlook important characteristics among job applicants.
Big data privacy for machine learning just got 100 times cheaper
Rice University computer scientists have discovered an inexpensive way for tech companies to implement a rigorous form of personal data privacy when using or sharing large databases for machine learning.
AI could expand healing with bioscaffolds
Artificial intelligence can speed the development of 3D-printed bioscaffolds that help injuries heal, according to Rice researchers.
RAMBO speeds searches on huge DNA databases
Rice computer scientists are sending RAMBO to rescue genomic researchers who sometimes wait days or weeks for search results from enormous DNA databases.
Neural nets used to rethink material design
The microscopic structures and properties of materials are intimately linked, and customizing them is a challenge. Rice University engineers are determined to simplify the process through machine learning.
