Nvidia’s second-quarter revenue beat not only its own expectations but also that of analysts. And the numbers are just incredible.
Discussion with Joscha Bach and Yulia Sandamirskaya, both Intel, at the Festival of the Future 2022 by 1E9 and Deutsches Museum.
When cognitive computing meets neuromorphic computing: In their indepth dialogue at the Festival of the Future Joscha Bach, Principal AI Engineer at Intel, and his colleague Yulia Sandamirskaya, who works as a Research Scientist at Intel in Munich approach the new era of AI from two fascinatingly different angles.
Joscha Bach / Principal AI Engineer, Cognitive Computing, Intel Labs.
Joscha Bach, PhD, is a cognitive scientist and AI researcher with a focus on computational models of cognition. He has taught and worked in AI research at Humboldt University of Berlin, the Institute for Cognitive Science in Osnabrück, the MIT media lab, the Harvard Program for Evolutionary Dynamics and is currently a principal AI researcher at Intel Labs, California.

Say goodbye to rush-hour traffic. This flying car will cruise at 150 mph when it goes on sale in 2026.
Researchers use a mix of less expensive, safer, and sustainably available components to create long-lasting bi-functional air electrodes.
We have all heard the line; the future is electric. But are we fully equipped to handle a full-scale transition to all-electric power? One thing standing in the way is the lack of cleaner and more affordable battery technologies to store energy.
Compared to commonly used Lithium-ion cells facing challenges related to cost, finite resources, and safety concerns, rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are pitched as cost-effective energy storage devices and display high-energy density, especially for application in EVs.
Carl Sagan once said that our bodies are “made of star stuff.” In a new video astrophysicist Suzanna Randall explains what that quote actually means and where the elements in our body come from.
Summary: Our ability to process sentences relies on the dynamic nature of working memory, where information is stored and integrated with our future intentions.
New research reveals that visual memories adapt according to our future use of that information. These findings challenge conventional theories arguing that our working memory’s neural codes remain unchanged over time.
Instead, the study reveals that our brains dynamically reformat these memories to better align with potential future actions based on these recollections.
According to Hugo de Garis, we will build (and/or become) artilects: Intelligent beings hugely (bazillions of times) smarter than humans.
