The first is that smart machines are evolving at breakneck speed. Moore’s law—that the computing power available for a given price doubles about every 18 months—continues to apply.

In the Industrial Revolution, new technologies displaced manual jobs while also creating demands for new skills. Will smart machines replace knowledge work–and create demand for a new kind of ...

A Turing machine, and therefore a computer, is a machine that pretends to be another machine. Think about the computing systems you use every day.

The machine acts like a "reprogrammable network of artificial magnets" where each magnet only points up or down and, like a real magnetic system, it tends to operate at low energy.

What can’t machine perception do? Machine perception is the capability of a computer to take in and process sensory information in a way that’s similar to how humans perceive the world.

Chief information officers need to plan for smart machines to replace workers and boost profit margins. You may not like the outcome.

A new fiber computer contains eight devices that work together as a single computing entity, and scientists want to weave many of them so they can work together as cohesive smart garments.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are now changing how Americans prepare their tax returns. 80,000 pages of tax regulations can wear down the human brain. Good thing computer ...

It may have been big, slow and lacking in much memory but almost seven decades on we have a lot to thank the creators of Australia’s first programmable computing machine.

Then, in the mid-20th century, machines began to take on the bulk of computing work, and the definition of “computer” changed. A computer was no longer just a human reckoner.
