Is it wise trying to find a research topic in the area of AI where many people already do a research?

Hi, I am trying to create a crowd simulation using Unity 3D. How to get more (similar) characters move (run, walk, jump, climb stair)? Tried importing characters from ANIMA Lite but animation lengths are short. How can I create crowd simulation in Unity 3D using AI crowd navigation/ behavior tree in my case without using any other software? Please help.

I want to dig into machine learning for drug discovery, Can anyone suggest me some good reads from where and how to start, what prerequisites needs to be checked and is there any publicly available material online?

please advice me about the topics for MIS using AI, I want to write a proposal for that.

Transparency is one of the most frequent catch words when discussing ethics in relation to AI and machine learning. The background is that the responses delivered by learning machines have been argued to be a delivery out of a 'black box'. But is there any work going on with the focus on making the process more transparent (I assume something like making AI systems not only produce answers or recommendations, but also explaining and supplying support for the solutions presented)?

Is there any intelligent way to determine the Level of Consciousness in patients?

Does anyone know how to use AI in this application?

There has been a lot of "buzz" around the notion of 21st century skills as important for directing modern teaching and learning. I would say, however, that many of these proposed skills will continue to miss the mark in tems of preparing learners for success in the modern 'gig' economy, because we are on the cusp of the age of genuine AI. This will be another form of sentient thinking that will increasingly perform most of the foundational skills relating to analytical thinking and problem-solving for us, and much better than we are ever going to be able to do. Current AI is not "genuine" (we have only psuedo-AI at this point in time) and thus does not reflect this ability. However genuine AI is coming and because of this educational planners and leaders need to be thinking about how to design educational learning that is geared more-and-more toward pure social skills and what might be called "awareness" skills - skills that raise our awareness of, and connection with, all forms of sentient existence.

Education has always been an agent for social change, and I suspect that the need to forward plan how to support 21st century learners to develop these sorts of "awareness" skills will become more obvious over the coming decade. I am very interested in how others see this situation though, and what direction they think education should be going in, as we seek to move learning forward within a modern, complex and uncertain world. So please, what are your thoughts on this matter?

As many of you know, the US police departments are well armed with the latest technology to keep us safe. Robotics is being added to their arsenal of things to acquire—social work is usually not part of that arsenal. Face recognition is based on the population of faces used to train the AI algorithm, and this being so, it is very likely that if trained on white faces only, the victims of police abuse via robot will be people of color (which is no different from what we have now by having white police officers in charge of protecting and killing). Of course, one way to level the playing field is to have China program the algorithms on its population of one billion Asian faces so that both black and white faces here in America are killed at the same rate of error, which some might see as going a long way to improving race relations but the 70 million who voted for Donald Trump might object to this solution--especially (and ironically) the black people who voted for him thinking that when the robot sees them it will think 'white face'.
