No technology on its own is good or bad; it just depends on what type of problem you want to solve. At the end of the day, programming is just that: problem solving by means of using a computer.

For example, algorithms facilitate expedited credit assessments, allowing consumers to be approved for a loan in a matter of minutes. Cryptographic algorithms improve a consumer’s experience by ...

"These problems are called NP-hard, which means it is very unlikely there is an efficient algorithm to solve them. When the problem is big enough, we can only hope to achieve some suboptimal ...

Experiments 2 through 5 studied the use of worked examples as a means of facilitating the acquisition of knowledge needed for effective problem solving. It was found that not only did worked examples, ...

We have met our match at the genteel pastime of jigsaw puzzles. It seems an algorithm can now whiz through 10,000 pieces in 24 hours. The speedy solver could also help piece together shredded ...

The answer lies in using AI as a problem-solving too say experts Leaders face more complex decisions than ever in today’s volitile world. So how can they get them right?

Nature talked to one of the people behind these algorithm improvements, who was optimistic that they could eventually replicate all of D-Wave's results using non-quantum algorithms. D-Wave ...
