According to IEEE Spectrum, artificial intelligence is helping in the search for off world intelligent life. 

Can artificial intelligence help the search for life elsewhere in the solar system? NASA thinks the answer may be “yes”—and not just on Mars either.

Those working with machine learning and artificial intelligence must try harder to erase bias from their datasets, reports the Hill.

A machine-learned AI system used to assess recidivism risks in Broward County, Fla., often gave higher risk scores to African Americans than to whites, even when the latter had criminal records. 

According to Wired, as artificial intelligence grows, so does the need for massive computing power, which ultimately may slow down the growth of artificial intelligence. 

Early last year, a large European supermarket chain deployed artificial intelligence to predict what customers would buy each day at different stores, to help keep shelves stocked while reducing costly spoilage of goods.
