Researchers have developed a wristband device that continuously detects hand positioning – as well as objects the hand interacts with – using AI-powered, inaudible soundwaves.
A combination of ecological field methods and AI has helped an interdisciplinary research group detect eelgrass wasting disease from San Diego to southern Alaska, and determine that it’s caused by warmer-than-normal water temperatures.
The list of stresses teenagers face as they head back to high school is long but there’s plenty that caring parents and guardians, teachers and young people themselves can do to support teens’ mental health, Cornell researchers say.
Mor Naaman, professor of information science at Cornell University and associate dean at Cornell Tech, researches the trustworthiness of our information ecosystem. He says the technology is – as usual – racing ahead with no guardrails.
To help identify when tense online debates are inching toward irredeemable meltdown, Cornell researchers have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can track these conversations in real-time, detect when tensions are escalating and nudge users away from using incendiary language.
In a new analysis, Cornell researchers examined three autopen controversies to see what they reveal about when it is OK – and not OK – to automate communication.
Louis Hyman historian of work and business at Cornell University’s school of Industrial and Labor Relations, argues that, like previous technological advances, AI offers potential spur innovation, while also making workers more productive, and is more likely to free up workers to do more challenging and important work. At the same time, Hyman notes, AI can also be used to automate existing jobs and exacerbate inequality.
