How AI is Changing the Way We Test Software

by

Software testing is a critical phase in the SDLC cycle across any domain, especially in the robotics and automation industry to ensure the performance, quality, reliability and usability of the software.

Over time as these systems have become more sophisticated conventional testing strategies have failed to keep up. Despite automated scripts supplementing manual testing, the process is often time-intensive, inflexible and prone to human oversight.

This hurdle paved the way for Artificial Intelligence enabled software testing. The technology helps make the process more accurate, efficient and faster. The tech has proved its mettle and has gained rapid adoption across the world. [Read more…] about How AI is Changing the Way We Test Software

The Turing Test: Origins, significance, and controversies

by

The Turing Test is a concept deeply embedded in the history and philosophy of artificial intelligence. First proposed in 1950 by Alan Turing, the pioneering British mathematician and logician, the test aims to address a fundamental question: Can machines think?

Or can machines convincingly appear to be thinking in human-like ways in their responses to questions asked by humans? Or, in other words, can a chatbot fool humans into believing it is human? [Read more…] about The Turing Test: Origins, significance, and controversies

Beep and Mississippi university launch autonomous bus test

by

Beep, a provider of autonomous shared mobility solutions, has launched C.A.B. or Campus Autonomous Bus, at Mississippi State University (MSU), marking Mississippi and Southeastern Conference’s (SEC) first-ever autonomous pilot program.

Celebrated on September 20 at a ribbon cutting ceremony on MSU’s campus, the pilot completed weeks of continued testing and validation and is now available to all students, faculty and guests of MSU for transit.

C.A.B. is currently scheduled to operate through the end of the year and will give MSU a chance to evaluate how autonomous transportation systems can be used on campus to diversify its existing fleet of transportation assets.
