In this edition of TC's semiregular newsletter, This Week in AI, we talk racial biases and AI-powered image generators.

EPFL researchers have developed a machine learning approach to compressing image data with greater accuracy than learning-free computation methods, with applications for retinal implants and other sensory prostheses. A major challenge to developing better neural prostheses is sensory encoding: tr

From retinal electrode arrays to sound waves, these futuristic technologies could help blind people see.

Alain Herzog / 2021 EPFL Retinal implants can deliver artificial vision The camera embedded in the smart glasses captures images in the wearer's field of vision, sending data to a microcomputer placed in one of the eyeglasses' end-pieces. Being able to make blind people see again sounds like the stuff of miracles or even science fiction. And it has always been one of the biggest challenges for scientists. Diego Ghezzi, who holds the Medtronic Chair in Neuroengineering (LNE) at EPFL's School of Engineering, has made this issue a research focus. Since 2015, he and his team have been developing...

8th March 2021 10:29 am 8th March 2021 12:01 pm Engineers are developing a retinal implant that works with camera-equipped smart glasses and a microcomputer to one day give blind people a form of artificial vision. This is the claim of a team led by Diego Ghezzi, who have been developing the system since 2015. “Our system is designed to give blind people a form of artificial vision by using electrodes to stimulate their retinal cells,” said Ghezzi, who holds the Medtronic Chair in Neuroengineering (LNE) at EPFL’s School of Engineering in Lausanne, Switzerland. The camera embedded in...
