“Before we work on artificial intelligence, why don’t we do something about natural stupidity?” computer scientist Steve Polyak once joked. The latter might be a tall order. But AI, it appears, just took one small step for robotkind.
New research published June 14 in Science reports that for the first time scientists have developed a machine-learning system that can observe a particular scene from multiple angles and predict what it will look like from a new, never-before-observed angle. With further development the technology could lead to more autonomous robots in industrial and manufacturing settings.
