A team of physicists and mathematicians at the Institute for Basic Science's Center for Soft and Living Matter, in South Korea, working with a colleague from the University of Geneva, has developed an algorithm that can be used to find the shape of an object to cause it to roll down a ramp following a desired path.

    Algorithm, that’s a buzz word I want to hear more than just “AI”. Algorithms are peak efficiency.

      isn’t current ‘ai’ basically just ‘algorithmic intelligence’?

        It’s certainly algorithmic but I wouldn’t call it intelligence.

          Maybe like veneer intelligence.

        Classical algorithms are used to make a system that can learn, and then the system learns to do things in ways we can’t actually understand, to date. So, it’s built on top.

      If you can find one. A classical algorithm that generates photorealistic images does not currently exist.

          Ah, you got me, yes that counts as written. Let me revise that to “fully automatic classical algorithm that generates photorealistic images”. Blender requires a lot of human input to work that well.
