DeepMind AI’s new way to sort objects could speed up global computing
Sorting algorithms are basic functions used constantly by computers around the world, so an improved one created by an artificial intelligence could make millions of programs run faster.
Instagram is working on an AI chatbot, leaked images reveal
With its very own chatbot, Instagram will join the likes of Snapchat and Quora.
Instagram is allegedly working on bringing an artificial intelligence chatbot to direct messages (DMs) for a more fun and engaging experience, according to the mobile developer and reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi.
According to the screenshot attached in Paluzzi’s tweet, one can make out that the chatbot can also help users write messages when conversing with someone. Another… More.

In his tweet, Paluzzi said that the AI chatbot would be able to answer users’ questions and give advice. The user will also be able to choose from 30 different personalities. He said that the chatbot will be something like OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
How soccer players and athletes are using AI to fight online hate
Racial discrimination and slurs against sports persons are rampant on social media.
If there’s one Olympic moment etched into our memories, it is the 1968 Black Power Salute which saw African American sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos standing on the podium raising their gloved hands in solidarity with oppressed Black people worldwide.
What followed was their ostracization from the U.S. sports institutions, racial abuse, and worldwide condemnation and vilification back home.
US at risk of losing AI edge to China, says Scale AI CEO
The US is at a critical moment and must invest more resources to stay ahead.
The U.S. is at risk of losing its edge to China in the race for artificial intelligence (AI), according to Alexandr Wang, the CEO of Scale AI. Wang was speaking at a summit organized by the company for government officials, Bloomberg.
Not only is… More.

AI is among the future technologies that countries around the world are looking to establish their supremacy in as the world evolves into the next age. Interesting Engineering has previously reported that China has been denting U.S. dominance in the technology sector. In studies conducted by policy institutes, China has already established monopolies in certain areas.

AlphaDev discovers faster sorting algorithms
Digital society is driving increasing demand for computation, and energy use. For the last five decades, we relied on improvements in hardware to keep pace. But as microchips approach their physical limits, it’s critical to improve the code that runs on them to make computing more powerful and sustainable. This is especially important for the algorithms that make up the code running trillions of times a day.
In our paper published today in Nature, we introduce AlphaDev, an artificial intelligence (AI) system that uses reinforcement learning to discover enhanced computer science algorithms – surpassing those honed by scientists and engineers over decades.
