How fluid intelligence defining feature of human cognition

A team led by UCL and UCLH researchers have mapped the parts of the brain that support our ability to solve problems without prior experience – otherwise known as fluid intelligence. Fluid intelligence is arguably the defining feature of human cognition. It predicts educational and professional success, social mobility, health, and longevity. It also correlates Read more about How fluid intelligence defining feature of human cognition[…]

Extremely energy-efficient artificial intelligence is now closer to reality

Extremely energy-efficient artificial intelligence is now closer to reality after a study by UCL researchers found a way to improve the accuracy of a brain-inspired computing system. The system, which uses memristors to create artificial neural networks, is at least 1,000 times more energy efficient than conventional transistor-based AI hardware, but has until now been Read more about Extremely energy-efficient artificial intelligence is now closer to reality[…]
