AI systems like natural language generation are only as good as the data that trains them, and USC Viterbi experts want to uncover why and how that data can be biased against women and minorities.
A team of computer scientists and psychologists teamed up to investigate how listening to music impacts how we act, feel and think.
At the student branch of USC’s Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society, undergraduates are using AI to tackle projects with environmental and social impact.
Yolanda Gil, USC Viterbi professor and president of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, discusses what it will take to move AI forward without moving safety backward.
Experts at the USC Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society are teaming with city officials to find technological solutions for aging, vulnerable pipelines.
Two apps from a USC Viterbi professor and his team allow users to create digital versions of themselves, an idea that could make waves in health care and entertainment.
According to a PhD student’s artificial intelligence tool that analyzes lyrics and chords, Lil Nas X’s record-setting hit really does cross genres.
Alice Parker of USC Viterbi has spent years trying to build artificial systems that learn like the human brain, and her latest efforts may have cracked the code.
The Center for Intelligent Environments will study how to incorporate AI and automation into our built environment in ways that reinforce trust, safety and comfort.
Biases in machine learning algorithms can produce serious consequences: people can be denied health services, wrongly targeted for crimes or turned away for jobs. PhD student Hsien-Te Kao wants to find a solution.
In tandem with nine animal conservation groups, a USC research team’s AI software is being deployed in wildlife parks worldwide to thwart poachers and protect species at risk.
Find out how new AI software from the USC Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society will help stop poachers in nearly 600 wildlife parks across 55 countries.
Do you want to be warm or cold? Is it time to stand rather than sit? An interdisciplinary team — made up of designers and USC professors — is using AI to create tech-savvy desks with health and well-being in mind.
To remove the human error that causes so many marine collisions, USC researchers are exploring driverless ships that rely on data analytics and artificial intelligence.
A new AI tool, developed by PhD students at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, can assess the amount of violence in movies and help producers, screenwriters and studios predict MPAA ratings.
The tool uses a camera and computer vision to record patterns in children’s eye movements and compares them to other children’s patterns.
Bistra Dilkina and her graduate students help to address environmental needs, from predicting where poachers are likely to strike to designing wildlife reserves and preventing the spread of invasive species.
The work could help with earlier diagnosis and lead to non-invasive ways of tracking the progress of the disease in patients.
