Artificial intelligence powers everything from facial recognition to self-driving cars, but what does it really take to teach a computer to “see”? Isak Engdahl, who recently defended his doctoral thesis at Lund University, takes us inside the labs where computer vision systems are built, and reveals the human work behind the technology. On Friday 28 November, Isak Engdahl successfully defended his
