Revolutionary Sensor Mimics Human Eye for Vivid Imagery

Summary: Researchers have created a device that emulates the human eye’s ability to see color by using narrowband perovskite photodetectors and a neuromorphic algorithm.

The photodetectors, sensitive to red, green, and blue light, mimic our cone cells, while the neuromorphic algorithm simulates our neural network to process information into high-quality images. Unlike modern cameras that require external filters, this technology could improve resolution and reduce manufacturing costs.

The device also generates electricity as it absorbs light, potentially leading to battery-free camera technology.

‘We Shouldn’t Regulate AI Until We See Meaningful Harm’: Microsoft Economist to WEF

Microsoft’s corporate VP and chief economist tells the World Economic Forum (WEF) that AI will be used by bad actors, but “we shouldn’t regulate AI until we see some meaningful harm.”

Speaking at the WEF Growth Summit 2023 during a panel on “Growth Hotspots: Harnessing the Generative AI Revolution,” Microsoft’s Michael Schwarz argued that when it came to AI, it would be best not to regulate it until something bad happens, so as to not suppress the potentially greater benefits.

“I am quite confident that yes, AI will be used by bad actors; and yes, it will cause real damage; and yes, we have to be very careful and very vigilant,” Schwarz told the WEF panel.

Should AI be Open or Closed?

Is it OK for the largest AI platforms to be closed and private? Or should they all be open and transparent?

Why should you care?

Because AI has the power to completely transform every industry, drive a new world order, and create the next dozen trillionaires. It’s the single most important tool we’ve ever created to solve the world’s biggest problems.

Executives fear accidental sharing of corporate data with ChatGPT: Report

Join top executives in San Francisco on July 11–12, to hear how leaders are integrating and optimizing AI investments for success. Learn More

Writer, a generative AI platform for enterprises, has released a report revealing that almost half (46%) of senior executives (directors and above) suspect their colleagues have unintentionally shared corporate data with ChatGPT. This troubling statistic highlights the necessity for generative AI tools to safeguard companies’ data, brand, and reputation.

The State of Generative AI in the Enterprise report found that ChatGPT is the most popular chatbot in use amongst enterprises, with CopyAI (35%) and Anyword (26%) following closely behind as the second and third most commonly used. However, many companies have banned the use of generative AI tools in the workplace, with ChatGPT being the most frequently banned (32%), followed by CopyAI (28%) and Jasper (23%).

Avantra launches new cloud edition to automate workflows across modes

AIOps platform Avantra has launched a new cloud edition for RISE with SAP. A SAP product, RISE with SAP helps companies to get started with cloud SAP solutions. Avantra’s new offering with help RISE customers to automate cloud, on-premise, and third-party operation activities for migrating their business operations to the cloud.

The Avantra cloud edition for RISE with SAP will offer a single point of access to services like configuration management for regulated industries, one-off services, and cloud application services, along with offering operating data. In addition, the new edition will support over 100 services for customers to manage data files, determine security requirements, and perform end-to-end application monitoring.

“At a time when more and more companies are looking at enterprise-wide digital transformation and wanting to connect rather than isolate operations, impeding the ability to optimise hybrid operations presents a significant barrier to business advancement. We developed a Cloud edition designed to work with RISE with SAP to remove this barrier, recognising that this need is not likely to go away any time soon,” said John Appleby, chief executive officer, Avantra.

The Art Of Innovation: How Scientific Research And The Arts Can Collaborate To Generate Innovations

Marketing and business. In marketing, businesses can use art and science to create compelling, memorable and emotionally resonant campaigns. By leveraging scientific knowledge of consumer behavior and psychology and using art to create visually striking and emotionally engaging advertisements, businesses can create marketing campaigns that are both effective and memorable.

Artificial intelligence (AI). AI design involves scientific research to develop algorithms and models that simulate human intelligence and decision-making. However, AI design requires artistic input to create user interfaces, visualizations and other interactive features that engage users and make AI more accessible. For example, an AI-powered virtual assistant may require an appealing visual interface to help users interact with the system more efficiently, such as graphic design, animation and other visual arts, to create a user-friendly pleasing interface. Moreover, AI-powered applications and systems can incorporate creative design and artistry elements to enhance functionality and appeal (generative AI algorithms can generate music or art or analyze and interpret cultural trends and patterns.)

The intersection of scientific research and art is exciting for generating novel business ideas. By bringing together different perspectives and skill sets, it is possible to create a more comprehensive and innovative approach to problem-solving. Whether through interdisciplinary research or using art as a tool for communication, the possibilities for collaboration are endless. The art of innovation is not about creating something out of nothing but finding new and unexpected ways to combine existing elements. By embracing the intersection of science and art, we can unlock a wealth of possibilities for the future of business by leading in new business ideas leveraging on new technologies, materials and creative solutions to problems. The integration of these domains enables the formation of groundbreaking and lucrative business concepts that can revolutionize industries and enhance individuals’ well-being.

Tanzanian firm signs mining supply deal with Elon Musk’s Tesla

Wendy’s will start using an AI chatbot to take drive-through orders

First Snapchat, now Wendy’s. No one is safe from AI.

The fast food chain will use an artificial intelligence chatbot to take drive-through orders, reports The Wall Street Journal (opens in a new tab). The new chatbot runs on Google’s natural-language processing software and is trained to understand customers’ orders. It will officially launch in June at a company-owned Wendy’s in Columbus, Ohio.
