The shift is indicative of the importance of new artificial intelligence technology to Silicon Valley and Wall Street investors.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman sat down with Bill Gates to explore the positive potential and threats of artificial intelligence.

Forward-thinking designers are willing to embrace the technology — without relinquishing human creativity’s central role.

One of the most curious objects in last year’s Venice Glass Week was a milky white blown-glass vase.

An artificial intelligence model can discern whether fingerprints from different fingers come from the same person, which could make forensic investigations more efficient.

As the 14th season of Bravo’s Real Housewives of New York City came to a close this fall, I found myself on Reddit, reading rumors about the marriage and divorce timeline of one of the show’s stars.

The web is filled with content designed for Google, not humans.

Holograms have long been a staple of science fiction, but they are now becoming a reality thanks to Holoconnects, a leading technology provider of AI-powered holographic solutions. This company is dazzling the attendees of CES 2024 with its lifelike, highly advanced hologram technology, which can create 3D holographic visualizations of people, products, or logos.

The company’s products are Holobox, the Modular Holobox, and the Holobox Mini, which can project holograms of anything you want, such as yourself, your favorite celebrity, or your brand logo. The devices are very easy to use; you need electricity and the internet to bring holograms to any location. They also have a touch system, so you can interact with and control the holograms.

Learn about the Kapolei Energy Storage plant, the world’s most advanced battery energy storage system.

The KES batteries play a crucial role in reducing the curtailment of renewable energy by 69%, allowing Hawaiian Electric to integrate 10% more new utility-scale renewables than previously projected. Additionally, the project is estimated to save customers money, reducing electric bills by an average of $0.28 per month over a 20-year contract life.

The specifications of the KES plant include 135 MW / 540 MWH of capacity and energy, 50 MW / 25 MWH of additional ‘fast frequency response’ for grid stability, ‘virtual inertia’ to mimic the power-smoothing function of a spinning turbine, and ‘black start’ capabilities for grid recovery during blackouts.
