Chinese ambassador Chen Xu called for the high-quality development of artificial intelligence (AI), assistance in promoting children’s mental health, and protection of children’s rights while delivering a joint statement on behalf of 80 countries at the 55th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on Thursday.

Chen, China’s permanent representative to the UN Office in Geneva and other international organizations in Switzerland, said that artificial intelligence is a new field of human development and should adhere to the concept of consultation, joint construction, and shared benefits, while working together to promote the governance of artificial intelligence.

The new generation of children has become one of the main groups using and benefiting from AI technology. The joint statement emphasized the importance of children’s mental health issues.

There is a new AI tool so smart that it can write code, create websites, and software with just a single prompt. Devin, created by the tech company Cognition, is the first AI software engineer. It can do pretty much everything you ask it to do. And the AI tool does not come with the intention to replace human engineers, it is designed to work hand-in-hand with them. The makers say that the AI tool has not been launched to replace human engineers but to make their lives easier.

“Today we’re excited to introduce Devin, the first AI software engineer. Devin is the new state-of-the-art on the SWE-Bench coding benchmark, has successfully passed practical engineering interviews from leading AI companies, and has even completed real jobs on Upwork. Devin is an autonomous agent that solves engineering tasks through the use of its own shell, code editor, and web browser,” Cognition posted on Twitter aka X.

It’s no secret that students often use ChatGPT to complete assignments and write essays.

But now, in a bizarre inversion, their teachers are also getting a leg up from AI to grade their work.

As Axios reports, a new software called Writable is allowing teachers to use AI to evaluate papers, which the company says saves “teachers time on daily instruction and feedback.”

Cerebras’ Wafer Scale Engine 3 (WSE-3) chip contains four trillion transistors and will power the 8-exaFLOP Condor Galaxy 3 supercomputer one day.

Following the announcement of its partnership with OpenAI, tech startup Figure has released a new clip of its humanoid robot, dubbed Figure 1, chatting with an engineer as it puts away the dishes.

And we can’t tell if we’re impressed — or terrified.

AI startup company Figure, which emerged from stealth last year, has unveiled the latest upgrades to its Figure 1 humanoid robot.

Founded in 2022 and publicly announced in March 2023, Figure is a California-based company with 80 employees that is building autonomous, general‑purpose humanoid robots. Its aim is to address labour shortages, fill jobs that are undesirable or unsafe for humans, and support a supply chain on a global scale.

The advent of AI has ushered in transformative advancements across countless industries. Yet for all its benefits, this technology also has a downside. One of the major challenges AI brings is the amount of energy required to power the GPUs that train large-scale AI models. Computing hardware needs significant maintenance and upkeep, as well as uninterruptible power supplies and cooling fans.

One study found that training some popular AI models can produce about 626,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, the rough equivalent of 300 cross-country flights in the U.S. A single data center can require enough electricity to power 50,000 homes. If this energy comes from fossil fuels, that can mean a huge carbon footprint. Already the carbon footprint of the cloud as a whole has surpassed that of the airline industry.

As the founder of an AI-driven company in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry, I am acutely aware of the environmental impact of our business. Here are a few ways we are trying to reduce that effect.
