Called Evo, the AI was inspired by the large language models, or LLMs, underlying popular chatbots such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude. These models have taken the world by storm for their prowess at generating human-like responses. From simple tasks, such as defining an obtuse word, to summarizing scientific papers or spewing verses fit for a rap battle, LLMs have entered our everyday lives.

If LLMs can master written languages—could they do the same for the language of life?

This month, a team from Stanford University and the Arc Institute put the theory to the test. Rather than training Evo on content scraped from the internet, they trained the AI on nearly three million genomes—amounting to billions of lines of genetic code—from various microbes and bacteria-infecting viruses.

Gwynne Shotwell discusses the transformative potential of SpaceX’s Starship program for space exploration and colonization, emphasizing its upcoming Flight 6, the importance of Starlink for revenue, and the integration of Tesla technologies for sustainable human habitats on Mars Questions to inspire discussion Launch.

From education to work and leisure, internet access is essential to modern life. Yet, since the first days of the world wide web, this access has been unequal. The US, France and the UK gained a headstart in the 1990s and developing countries have been seeking to catch up ever since.

One region where this process is now complete is the Arabian Peninsula. From relative obscurity in connectivity rankings three decades ago, countries such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar have leapfrogged their Western peers. Look at measures of internet speeds, in fact, and the UAE now leads the world.¹ Having delivered internet access at home, e& (etisalat and), the telecommunications giant and leading global technology group headquartered in the UAE, hopes to expand connectivity worldwide.

To many small-business owners, AI still seems like something out of a sci-fi film—abstract, intimidating and not applicable to their lives. While there are many AI business tools available on the market today, most tools aren’t accessible or intuitive enough for the average small-business owner.

In theory, AI can help some SMBs with marketing, product adjustments, bookkeeping, decision-making and more. However, these tools are based on global data found on the web and are blind to business-specific data. Therefore, they don’t take important parameters like the small business’s location, industry and size into account.

To harness the true potential of AI and obtain truly valuable insights, AI systems need detailed information about the business history and future goals of the SMB. This tailored approach ensures that AI tools are not just functional but are strategic assets that contribute meaningfully to business growth and decision-making.

At the GlobalFoundries Technology Summit 2024, the company brought together its customers and partners from around the world. The theme was “AI Everywhere” as AI has impacted everything from IoT to the datacenter. However, the focus was on its core markets: aerospace, defense and critical infrastructure, automotive, communications and data center infrastructure, industrial IoT, and mobile devices.

RF

One key technology for many of those markets is RF (Radio Frequency) chips for mobile devices, communications infrastructure, and aerospace. GF’s mainstream RF offerings use Silicon on Insulator (SOI) wafer technology. But GF also has Silicon Germanium (SiGe) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) processes as well. With this level of diverse RF technologies, the company is well positioned for future 5G NR cellular developments and beyond, including the growth of FR2 (above 24GHz) and FR3 (7.1GH to 24GHz) bands.

A team of AI researchers with Google’s DeepMind London group has found that certain large language models (LLMs) can serve as effective mediators between groups of people with differing viewpoints regarding a given topic. The work is published in the journal Science.

Over the past several decades, political divides have become common in many countries—most have been labeled as either liberal or conservative. The advent of the internet has served as fuel, allowing people from either side to promote their opinions to a wide audience, generating anger and frustration. Unfortunately, no tools have surfaced to diffuse the tension of such a political climate. In this new effort, the team at DeepMind suggests AI tools such as LLMs may fill that gap.

To find out if LLMs could serve as effective mediators, the researchers trained LLMs called Habermas Machines (HMs) to serve as caucus mediators. As part of their training, the LLMs were taught to identify areas of overlap between viewpoints of people in opposing groups—but not to try to change anyone’s opinions.

SpaceX sent another group of Starlink satellites to orbit aboard a Falcon 9 launched from Space Launch Complex 40 this morning. Liftoff was at 8:21 AM.

Around 8.5 minutes later, Falcon 9 booster B1076 touched down offshore on ASDS ‘Just Read The Instructions’, which had been pre-positioned off the coast of The Bahamas in the Atlantic Ocean. The drone ship will return to Port Canaveral and B1076 will be returned to SpaceX’s Hangar X for inspection and, presumably, preparation for its next flight.

Scientists have developed an AI-based authentication scheme to enhance vehicle security in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV).

Scientists claim to have developed an artificial intelligence tool to consolidate the privacy of vehicles and their drivers.

How to preserve the privacy of the so-called Internet of Vehicles (IoV) has emerged as a major challenge due to geographical mobility of vehicles and insufficient resources, the scientists say.
