In today’s AI news, a majority of senior executives across multiple industries expect AI to fundamentally reshape their businesses in the next 12 to 24 months, according to KPMG’s latest AI Quarterly Pulse Survey. According to the survey, 68% of executives plan to invest between $50M and $250M into GenAI over the next 12 months, marking a substantial increase from 45% in Q1 of 2024.

S chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun, the biggest takeaway from DeepSeek In other advancements, hot healthcare startup Rad AI has raised a Series C funding round. The company, which creates AI-powered tools for radiologists, grabbed $60 million dollars of fresh funding in a Series C round led by Transformation Capital, according to two sources, the new fundraise valued Rad AI at $525 million.

Meanwhile, Alphabet’s Google, already facing an unprecedented regulatory onslaught, is looking to shape public perception and policies on artificial intelligence ahead of a global wave of AI regulation. A key priority comes in building out educational programs to train the workforce on AI. “Getting more people and organizations, including governments, familiar with AI and using AI tools, makes for better AI policy and opens up new opportunities.”

Whether we are ready or not, neuro-tech is about to cause a radical social shift that will change our understanding of the mind and our very conception of reality. Telepathy, or even a super humanity based on a symbiotic relationship with artificial intelligence, will no longer be a dream.

This documentary revisits the history of neuroscience and explores the frontiers of this groundbreaking field. It introduces technological advancements that come with catastrophic risks, which is why experts are advocating for the Neuro-Rights — regulations that ensure the privacy of our conscious AND subconscious.

Recent advances in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling the development of a wide range of systems with unique characteristics designed for varying real-world applications. These include robots that can engage in activities traditionally only completed by humans, such as sketching, painting and even hand-writing documents.

These robots could have interesting applications in both professional and creative contexts, as they could help to automate the creation of artistic renderings, legal papers, letters and other documents in real time. Most to date have considerable limitations, such as high production costs (around $150) and a large size.

Two researchers affiliated with the global student non-profit organization App-In Club recently developed a new cost-effective robotic handwriting system that could be more affordable for individual consumers, schools, universities and small businesses. This system, introduced in a paper on the arXiv preprint server, integrates a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller and other components that can be produced via 3D printing.

In a new Nature Communications study, scientists have demonstrated the quantum version of the strong Mpemba effect (sME) in a single trapped ion system.

The Mpemba effect is a counterintuitive phenomenon in which—under certain conditions—hotter water cools faster than colder water.

It was first described by Tanzanian high school student Erasto Bartholomeo Mpemba in 1963. However, according to early scientific literature, it was observed much earlier, as far as Aristotelian times.

Do speakers of different languages build sentence structure in the same way? In a neuroimaging study published in PLOS Biology, scientists from the Max Planck institute for Psycholinguistics, Donders Institute and Radboud University in Nijmegen recorded the brain activity of participants listening to Dutch stories. In contrast to English, sentence processing in Dutch was based on a strategy for predicting what comes next rather than a “wait-and-see” approach, showing that strategies may differ across languages.

While listening to spoken , people need to link abstract knowledge of grammar to the words they actually hear. Theories on how people build grammatical structure in real time are often based on English. In sentences such as “I have watched a documentary,” the noun “documentary” immediately follows the verb. However, in Dutch sentences, the may be reversed: “Ik heb een documentaire gezien” (“I have a documentary watched.”).

“To find out whether speakers of different languages build grammatical structure in the same way, it is important to look at languages that differ from English in such interesting respects,” says first author Cas Coopmans. “Findings based on English may not generalize to languages that have different grammatical properties, such as Dutch.”
