The human brain can recognize a person’s face and their expression in less than a blink of an eye, but current artificial intelligence (AI) models, although fairly accurate at doing the same, use a different process than a brain and that may not be good enough for applications in health care or education, according to new research out of 91ÑÇÉ«.
91ÑÇɫ’s Connected Minds: Neural and Machine Systems for a Healthy, Just Society and the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) are launching a 16-month pilot partnership to design and build new governance frameworks for artificial intelligence (AI) and neurotechnology.
The wiring and rewiring of the brain never ends. Neural pathways are constantly being reshaped as we interact with the world and learn new things. At 91ÑÇÉ« and MIT’s McGovern Institute, scientists are combining detailed analysis of brain activity with computational modelling to better understand that change. 91ÑÇÉ« Assistant Professor Kohitij Kar, McGovern Institute Postdoctoral […]
Today, the University announced the launch of a new Centre of Excellence – Artificial Intelligence for Public Health Advancement (AIPHA) funded through an Ontario Research Fund – Research Excellence program.
A new study by 91ÑÇÉ« researchers have found a potential striking flaw in artificial intelligence (AI) models.
While targeted radiation can be an effective treatment for brain tumours, subsequent potential necrosis of the treated areas can be hard to distinguish from the tumours on a standard MRI. A new study led by a 91ÑÇÉ« professor in the Lassonde School of Engineering found that a novel AI-based method is better able to distinguish between the two types of lesions on advanced MRI than the human eye alone, a discovery that could help clinicians more accurately identify and treat the issues.
91ÑÇÉ« and the Town of Georgina signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) today to formalize their long-standing collaboration in key areas of mutual interest. Â
If data used to train artificial intelligence models for medical applications, such as hospitals across the Greater Toronto Area, differs from the real-the world data, it could lead to patient harm. A new study
What does it mean to think, act and work as a Jewish professor when human freedoms are under siege and authoritarian power gains ground? And how can we draw on our Jewish identities to navigate the sweeping encroachment of new technologies like AI? As communication scholars, colleagues and collaborators, we have spent a lot of […]
As Canadians prepare to vote in another federal election, the country’s economy faces a sobering reality. As the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) notes, productivity is stagnating, our innovation performance lags global peers and high-potential startups often fail to scale.
