Energy consumption from biofuels against fossil fuels over the past few years has increased. This is due to the availability of these resources for production of different forms of energy, and the environmental benefit in the utilization of these resources. Ethanol fuel production from biomass is a complex process of known challenges in the area of handling, optimizing, and future forecasting. The existence of modelling techniques like artificial intelligence (AI) is, therefore, necessary in the design, handling, and optimization of bioethanol production. The flexibility and high accuracy of artificial neural network (ANN), a machine learning technique, to solve intricate processes is beneficial in modelling pretreatment, fermentation, and conversion stages of a bioethanol production system. This paper reviews various AI techniques in bioethanol production giving emphasis on published articles in the past decade....
In recent years, advances in neuroscience and artificial intelligence have paved the way for unprecedented opportunities to understand the complexity of the brain and its emulation using computational systems. Cutting-edge advancements in neuroscience research have revealed the intricate relationship between brain structure and function, and the success of artificial neural networks has highlighted the importance of network architecture. It is now time to bring these together to better understand how intelligence emerges from the multiscale repositories in the brain. In this Perspective, we propose the Digital Twin Brain (DTB)—a transformative platform that bridges the gap between biological and artificial intelligence. It comprises three core elements: the brain structure, which is fundamental to the twinning process, bottomlayer models for generating brain functions, and its wide spectrum of applications. Crucially, brain atlases provide a vital constraint that preserves the brain’s network organization within the DTB. Furthermore, we highlight open questions that invite joint efforts from interdisciplinary fields and emphasize the far-reaching implications of the DTB. The DTB can offer unprecedented insights into the emergence of intelligence and neurological disorders, holds tremendous promise for advancing our understanding of both biological and artificial intelligence, and ultimately can propel the development of artificial general intelligence and facilitate precision mental healthcare....
This research paper aims to explore how major e-commerce companies employ artificial intelligence (AI). We will examine the impact of AI on their operations and customer service. Subsequently, in the long run, we investigate how this can have broader implications for international trade. Through this investigation, we aspire to gain insights into the transformative effects of AI on global trade dynamics. Here’s our plan for the paper: To begin, we will explore the essential parts of AI and how it influences economic growth. Then in the future, we delve into the various ways AI is utilized in the ecommerce industry. After that, we will closely examine different examples like Amazon, Alibaba, Shopify, and eBay to understand how AI is practically implemented and how it affects these companies. Finally, we will try to look more closely at how the use of artificial intelligence can bring about significant changes in international trade and streamline business operations....
Social chatbots are aimed at building emotional bonds with users, and thus it is particularly important to design these technologies so as to elicit positive perceptions from users. In the current study, we investigate the impacts that transparent explanations of chatbots’ mechanisms have on users’ perceptions of the chatbots. A total of 914 participants were recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk. They were randomly assigned to observe conversations between a hypothetical chatbot and a user in one of the two-by-two experimental conditions: whether the participants received an explanation about how the chatbot was trained and whether the chatbot was framed as an intelligent entity or a machine. A fifth group, who believed they were observing interactions between two humans, served as a control. Analyses of participants’ responses to the postobservation survey indicated that transparency positively affected perceptions of social chatbots by leading users to (1) find the chatbot less creepy, (2) feel greater affinity to the chatbot, and (3) perceive the chatbot as more socially intelligent, though these effects were small. Moreover, transparency appeared to have a larger effect on increasing the perceived social intelligence among participants with lower prior AI knowledge. These findings have implications for the design of future social chatbots and support the addition of transparency and explanation for chatbot users....
The article discusses the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation in marine conservation, specifically in relation to the protection of marine ecosystems and the definition of marine protected areas (MPAs). It highlights the threats that marine ecosystems face due to human activities and emphasizes the importance of effective management and conservation efforts. By improving data gathering, processing, monitoring, and analysis, artificial intelligence, and automation, they can revolutionize marine research. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the importance of AI and automation in marine conservation responsibly and ethically. In order to integrate these technologies into decision-making processes, stakeholders and marine conservation professionals must collaborate. Through the use of artificial intelligence and automation, marine conservation efforts can be transformed by establishing new methods of collecting and analyzing data, making informed decisions, and managing marine ecosystems....
