It’s almost comical how surprised we are at the pitfalls of artificial intelligence (AI). After all, we’ve been making movies for decades warning against the dangerous potential of sentient machines.

Digital video coding integrates algorithmic techniques and standardised frameworks to reduce the volume of raw pixel data while preserving perceived visual quality. Most contemporary systems employ a ...

The AI-generated algorithms are already being used by millions of developers. DeepMind’s run of discoveries in fundamental computer science continues. Last year the company used a version of its ...

Anyone who has taken a basic computer science class has undoubtedly spent time devising a sorting algorithm—code that will take an unordered list of items and put them in ascending or descending order ...

Google DeepMind today pulled the curtain back on AlphaEvolve, an artificial-intelligence agent that can invent brand-new computer algorithms — then put them straight to work inside the company's vast ...

Lossy compression schemes can be based on a source model, as in the case of speech compression, or a user or sink model, as is somewhat the case in image compression. In this chapter we look at audio ...
