Will AI automate human jobs, and — if so — which jobs and when?

That’s the trio of questions a new research study from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), out this morning, tries to answer.

There’s been many attempts to extrapolate out and project how the AI technologies of today, like large language models, might impact people’s’ livelihoods — and whole economies — in the future.

The Rabbit R1, which learns and repeats how users interact with apps, has sold out of five pre-order rounds since launching in Las Vegas this monthRabbit Inc was started by Jesse Lyu Cheng, a Xian native who sold his previous start-up to Chinese AI giant Baidu.

The use of robots and AI is a “new form of colonialism” that will lead to a resurgence of Arts and Crafts, according to trend forecaster Li Edelkoort.

Edelkoort has been a trend forecaster since she was 21 and says the discipline has “informed every single step of my life”

During an on-stage interview with Dezeen deputy editor Cajsa Carlson at Downtown Design during Dubai Design Week, Edelkoort explained that she is currently thinking about the return of Arts and Crafts, the 19th-century movement mostly associated with British designer William Morris.

This year’s World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos was a testament to the growing prominence of artificial intelligence (AI) in our world.

Davos 2024 vividly demonstrated AI’s growing influence in shaping the future of work, creativity, and global governance.

ElevenLabs has been at the forefront of natural speech synthesis, enabling users to create AI voices across many languages and accents with an unprecedented range of emotions and intonations.

ElevenLabs secures $80M funding and introduces voice AI products to reshape the future of accessibility and communication.

The Mini LineFly strives to improve utility workers’ safety and safeguards wildlife from accidental contact with power lines, reducing the probability of unintended bird collisions.

With the world already witnessing the launch of a myriad of robotic devices since last year, another drone-based robotic system takes to the skies.

This new unmanned robotic system called the Mini LineFly is seemingly the world’s most advanced automated robotic system devised to install bird diverts on overhead power lines, according to a statement by the founding companies.

Another landmark invention in the AI industry?

A recent algorithm breakthrough is shaking things up in the machine learning discussion groups.

Mamba, a breakthrough algorithm, challenges the 21st century’s biggest algorithm, Transformer, by achieving superior language modeling, speed, and cost-effectiveness.

Nvidia’s GPUs have been the main choice for most AI researchers and companies, as they offer high performance and efficiency for training and running large language models, such as OpenAI’s GPT-4.

Meta has yet to go above $1 trillion, despite recently pivoting to generative AI.
