Marvin Minsky is often called the Father of Artificial Intelligence and I have been looking for an opportunity to interview him for years. I was hoping that I will finally get my chance at the GF2045 conference in NY City. Unfortunately, Prof. Minsky had bronchitis and consequently had to speak via video. A week later, though still recovering, Marvin generously gave me a 30 min interview while attending the ISTAS13 Veilance conference in Toronto. I hope that you enjoy this brief but rare opportunity as much as I did!

The ruling follows a similar decision denying patent registrations naming AI as creators.

The UK Supreme Court ruled that AI cannot get patents, declaring it cannot be named as an inventor of new products because the law considers only humans or companies to be creators.

It follows a similar decision in the US.

2024 vehicles from high-end automakers will get the first taste of Apple’s “cohesive design experience that is the very best of your car and your iPhone.”

FYI, just in case you’re car shopping.

LEDs and their organic counterparts are getting truly tiny. This could be the moment AR and VR companies have been waiting for.

This has been one of the craziest years in AI in a long time: endless product launches, boardroom coups, intense policy debates about AI doom, and a race to find the next big thing. But we’ve also seen concrete tools and policies aimed at getting the AI sector to behave more responsibly and hold powerful players accountable. That gives me a lot of hope for the future of AI.

This week, Google rocked the technology world with the unveiling of Gemini — an artificial intelligence system representing their most significant leap in AI capabilities. Hailed as a potential game-changer across industries, Gemini combines data types like never before to unlock new possibilities in machine learning.

With three distinct versions tailored to different needs, Gemini points to a future powered by AI that can match and even outperform human intelligence. Its multimodal nature builds on yet goes far beyond predecessors like GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 in its ability to understand our complex world dynamically.

As Google sets its sights on real-world deployment, Gemini prompts critical ethical questions around responsibility and safety. If leveraged conscientiously, its potential applications span from mundane productivity tasks to world-changing scientific breakthroughs.

Longevitytech.fund’s Petr Sramek on why the longevity field needs to look at the whole – and why it needs precision and personalization.

A study uses MEA analysis, computation, and simulations to demonstrate how BDNF treatment after excitotoxic injury remodels hippocampal networks by promoting inhibitory neuron survival while indirectly strengthening weak excitatory synapses.
