Computer Vision News - January 2021

26 Artificial Intelligence Computer Vision News has found great new stories, written somewhere else by somebody else. We share them with you, adding a short comment. Enjoy! A I S P O T L I G H T N E W S Boeing tests autonomous, artificial intelligence-enable jets in Australia At a time when autonomous driving actors are being a little less buoyant about their work, it is refreshing to learn that progress is being done in the field of autonomous flying. Our old readers certainly remember when we told them to fasten their seat belt and prepare for autonomous landing. The news of the day is that Boeing has operated five aircraft together, reaching speeds of 167 miles per hour during testing in Australia. These are 11- foot aircrafts applying AI algorithms to ‘teach’ the aircraft’s brain to understand what is required of it, thus testing Boeing’s advanced autonomy technology. Read More Innovative scan technique detects lung damage months after COVID infection This article has bad news for people who have contracted Covid-19 and successfully recovered from it. Even though. A study was carried out by Oxford University and University of Sheffield to determine whether the condition impacts the lungs after the person has recovered. The findings are quite grim: 3 months after being ill with coronavirus, 8 out of the 10 participants were still experiencing shortness of breath and fatigue even though none of them had been admitted to intensive care. Conventional scans found no issues on their lungs, but hyperpolarized xenon gas with MRI scanning did. Read More 10 Top Artificial Intelligence Trends in 2021 Yes, it is that time of the year when journals and blogs prepare lists. We have chosen to pick this one because some of its content is quite counter- intuitive. For instance, if you though that this recent pandemic would curb the explosion of AI in the enterprise, apparently the contrary is true: studies prove that AI adoption has widely grown also in 2020, be it to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operations, or to make everyone’s life easier at a time when Covid-19 makes it more difficult.
