Det er tungvint å lete manuelt etter defekte solcellepaneler på tak, husfasader og i store solcelleparker. Droner kan gjøre jobben isteden.

Førsteamanuensis og nestleder ved Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research (CAIR) ved Universitetet i Agder (UiA), Morten Goodwin, er en av landets ledende og mest fremtredende forskere innen kunstig intelligens. For han er virkeligheten mye mer spennende enn fantasien. Og mest av alt ønsker han seg enklere tilgang på data.

Together with the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, Simula has developed a voluntary app that can reduce the time needed to track the spread of Covid-19.

In these challenging times caused by the worldwide outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, CLAIRE - Confederation of Laboratories for Artificial Intelligence Research in Europe, wants to give its contribution to European countries that are struggling with the situation. For this purpose, CLAIRE has established a COVID-19 Taskforce.

Klimaendringene påvirker vegetasjonen. Men endringene i vegetasjonen påvirker også klimaet. For å skjønne denne sammenhengen, skal klimaforsker Frode Stordal bruke kunstig intelligens.

In the historic surroundings of Tøyen Hovedgård, NORA arranged its first PhD Symposium on 25^th and 26^th February. The PhD Symposium was two-day lunch to lunch event about AI-related topics for PhD students; followed by an informal dinner and a social event.  The event also marked start of the NORA Research School.

Without high extra costs, artificial intelligence can respond in a minute. In this way, the patient can avoid unpleasant treatment that will not work.

Syv norske universiteter og to forskningsorganisasjoner har gått sammen i en felles satsing på kunstig intelligens. Han som leder satsingen skriver om hvordan kunstig intelligens oppdager kreft, om hvordan den preger din opplevelse av internett og om hvorfor den kan diskriminere kvinner og fargede.

Kunstig intelligens gjør det mulig for radiologene å se hvordan kreften oppfører seg i hjernen. For pasientene betyr dette raskere og sikrere diagnoser.
