Signal processing is key to communications and video image processing for astronomy, medical diagnosis, autonomous driving, big data and AI. Menxi Tan and colleagues report a photonic processor operating at 17Tb/s for ultrafast robotic vision and machine learning.
For its latest Hyperspace Challenge accelerator, the U.S. Space Force selected three startups specializing in satellite propulsion, picks reflecting the military’s growing interest in nimble satellites that can maneuver to outplay adversaries.
This marks a shift for the Pentagon, which traditionally has launched satellites into orbit and restricted their movements to conserve fuel. But with rivals fielding maneuverable spacecraft, U.S. officials are calling for a shift to “dynamic space operations,” enabled by autonomous refueling and other in-orbit services.
“Having the ability to refuel would really open new possibilities,” said John Plumb, assistant secretary of defense for space policy. He said the Pentagon is encouraged to see commercial companies developing technologies for in-orbit logistics that also have significant utility for the military.
OpenAI has mitigated a data exfiltration bug in ChatGPT that could potentially leak conversation details to an external URL.
According to the researcher who discovered the flaw, the mitigation isn’t perfect, so attackers can still exploit it under certain conditions.

Researchers from Cornell and Brown University have developed a souped-up telepresence robot that responds automatically and in real-time to a remote user’s movements and gestures made in virtual reality.
The robotic system, called VRoxy, allows a remote user in a small space, like an office, to collaborate via VR with teammates in a much larger space. VRoxy represents the latest in remote, robotic embodiment from researchers in the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science.
PASADENA, Calif. — The world’s first fully autonomous restaurant is set to open in Southern California.
At ‘CaliExpress by Flippy’ robots are the chefs in the kitchen… both on the grill and at the fry station. They’ll be cooking hamburgers, cheeseburgers and french fries.
Miso Robotics created Flippy which they say is the world’s first AI-powered robotic fry station. They say Flippy works alongside humans to “enhance quality and consistency, while creating substantial, measurable cost savings for restaurants.”
Data scientists in Denmark claim they’ve devised an AI model that can predict when someone is going to die.
A game-changer in prosthetics has been introduced to the world, and for the first time, amputees are regaining sensation through an electrical signal from their prosthetic arm. Max Ortiz-Catalan, a professor of bionics, explains the process of implanting these mind-controlled bionic arms through direct skeletal attachment. The researcher takes us through every step of this groundbreaking advancement in bionic medicine, from surgically implanting electrodes to fitting the prosthesis and training for everyday use.\r\

Like China, the US sees AI as a key to both a military and economic power in the 21st century. Both Republicans and Democrats in DC are concerned about the rate of Chinese advancement. In fact, the running joke on Capitol Hill is that the only thing they can agree on is The Chinese Threat.
Toward this end, Congress recently passed The CHIPS Act and the Executive Branch has been implementing trade controls to deny technology that they believe are critical for developing AI in China. While this desire is rational, it is unlikely to work in the mid-to long-term, and it will only increase geopolitical tension.

Scientists have designed a transistor that stores and processes information like the human brain and can perform cognitive tasks that most artificial intelligence (AI) systems today struggle with.
This technology, known as a “synaptic transistor,” mimics the architecture of the human brain — in which the processing power and memory are fully integrated and found in the same place. This differs from conventional computing architecture, in which the processor and memory are physically separate components.
The AI-guided system will stop turbines from spinning when birds are flying in the vicinity and create a safe zone.
Wind turbine collisions are responsible for over 679,000 bird deaths in the US alone every year. To protect vulnerable birds, wind farms can also be shut down.
