Engineers at Princeton and North Carolina State University have combined ancient paper-folding and modern materials science to create a soft robot that bends and twists through mazes with ease.
A demonstration flight with a Cessna Caravan in the USA has shown how automatic control and remote pilot supervision can work in tandem.
From the Statue of Zeus at Olympia to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, AI recreated the seven wonders of the ancient world.
The AI of the future won’t just be a chatbot — it’ll be, according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, outfitted with incredibly detailed information about its users.
In an interview with the MIT Technology Review, Altman suggested that AI should be working for its users harder than even the hardest-working human executive assistant, and would know absolutely everything about whoever is using it.
Speaking to the magazine between a series of events at Harvard, which were hosted in part by the venture capital firm Xfund, the OpenAI cofounder said that the best use of AI would be a “super-competent colleague that knows absolutely everything about my whole life, every email, every conversation I’ve ever had, but doesn’t feel like an extension.”
SK hynix says it’s working on SSDs of up to 300TB capacity, pre-announced years ahead of release thanks to the unstoppable AI demand.
During today’s earnings call covering the second fiscal quarter of 2024, Apple CEO Tim Cook again spoke about Apple’s work on generative AI. He said that Apple has “advantages” that will “differentiate” the company in the era of AI, and some “very exciting things” will be shared with customers in the near future.
We continue to feel very bullish about our opportunity in generative AI. We are making significant investments and we’re looking forward to sharing some very exciting things with our customers soon.
We believe in the transformative power and promise of AI and we believe we have advantages that will differentiate us in this new era, including Apple’s unique combination of seamless hardware, software and services integration, groundbreaking Apple silicon with our industry leading neural engines, and our unwavering focus on privacy, which underpins everything we create.
Hala Point will be the first large-scale neuromorphic system to run both SNNs and sparse feedforward DNNs like those used in mainstream branches of AI today (though conversion of DNNs and retraining are required).
Hala Point, a new Intel Loihi-based computer at Sandia National Labs, is a 6U system drawing about 2.6 kW.
