Should we tax robots?
A small tax on robots, as well as on trade generally, will help reduce income inequality in the U.S., according to economists.
Words prove their worth as teaching tools for robots
Exploring a new way to teach robots, Princeton researchers have found that human-language descriptions of tools can accelerate the learning of a simulated robotic arm lifting and using a variety of tools.
Machine-learning framework finds characters’ actions in movie scripts reflect gender stereotypes
Researchers have developed a novel machine-learning framework that uses scene descriptions in movie scripts to automatically recognize different characters’ actions. Applying the framework to hundreds of movie scripts showed that these actions tend to reflect widespread gender stereotypes, some of which are found to be consistent across time. Victor Martinez and colleagues at the University …

Wi-Fi could help identify when you’re struggling to breathe
Wi-Fi routers continuously broadcast radio frequencies that your phones, tablets and computers pick up and use to get you online. As the invisible frequencies travel, they bounce off or pass through everything around them—the walls, the furniture and even you. Your movements, even breathing, slightly alter the signal’s path from the router to your device.
New software based on artificial intelligence helps to interpret complex data
More is not always better—sometimes, it’s a problem. With highly complex data, which have many dimensions due to their numerous parameters, correlations are often no longer recognizable. Especially since experimentally obtained data are additionally disturbed and noisy due to influences that cannot be controlled.
