Cohere co-founder Nick Frosst thinks everyone needs to be more realistic about what AI can and cannot do

Posted by in categories: business, robotics/AI

But that doesn’t mean Frosst is bullish on everything the industry is building. He doesn’t think AI is really ever going to get to artificial general intelligence, defined as human-level intelligence, which is a noticeably different narrative from some of Frosst’s AI peers like Mark Zuckerberg and Jensen Huang. He added that if the industry does get there, it’s not going to be for a long time.

“I don’t think we’re gonna have digital gods anywhere, anytime soon,” Frosst said. “And I think more and more people are kind of coming to that realization, saying this technology is incredible. It’s super powerful, super useful. It’s not a digital god. And that requires adjusting how you’re thinking about the technology.”

Frosst said they try to be realistic at Cohere about what AI technology can and can’t do and what types of neural networks can provide the most value. Cohere’s approach to building its business model is based on the research work of Cohere co-founder and CEO Aidan Gomez while at Google Brain. Gomez is, of course, known for his extensive AI research. He’s most famous for co-writing a paper that bought AI the transformer model that ushered in this generative AI era. But he also co-wrote a paper in 2017 called One Model to Learn Them All. This research came to the conclusion that an all-encompassing large language model is more useful than small models trained for a specific task or on data from a specific industry, Frosst said.

Roth: The next phase of the Great Reset may bring a ‘Dark Future’

Posted by in categories: futurism, robotics/AI

If you thought the Great Reset was a lot to process and fight, hang on to your hats. The global elite, never satisfied with their power and always seeking more, have introduced a new phase of their agenda. Called the “Great Narrative,” it capitalizes upon the decay in Western values to realign power. It is not a coincidence that in the World Economic Forum’s “8 Predictions for the World in 2030” video, #2 was “The U.S. won’t be the world’s leading superpower. A handful of countries will dominate” and #8 was “Western values will have been tested to the breaking point.”

This Great Narrative framework is enabled by more than just pure societal malaise. It harnesses advanced technologies, from artificial intelligence to robotics to help shift the power structure in a new world order. Glenn Beck covers this plan and how to fight back in his truly important new book, “Dark Future.”

Traditional automated spacecraft controlled by mechanical systems have proven ineffective against the aliens’ superior living defenses. Faced with a seemingly insurmountable challenge, scientists come up with a radical solution: replace the mechanical control systems of a spaceship with a human brain. Professor Thomas, an elderly academic on the brink of death, volunteers to have his consciousness integrated into the spaceship. As the ship, now controlled by Thomas’s mind, ventures into space, the crew soon discovers that the Professor has his own plans, leading to unexpected and profound consequences. *About Philip K. Dick:* Philip K. Dick (1928−1982) was a prolific American writer known for his groundbreaking works in the science fiction genre. His stories often delve into themes of altered states of reality, the nature of consciousness, and dystopian futures.

Anduril to open software-based manufacturing hub to scale production

Posted by in categories: drones, military, robotics/AI

As the Pentagon makes a push toward scaling production of autonomous systems and weapons, Anduril Industries is accelerating its own manufacturing capabilities through a new software-based production hub called Arsenal.

The California-based defense technology company announced Wednesday it will build the first Arsenal facility in the U.S., using funding from a recent $1.5 billion Series F investment round. Chris Brose, Anduril’s chief strategy officer, told reporters the firm’s goal is to consolidate manufacturing in order to “hyperscale” production across its product lines, including uncrewed combat drones and autonomous underwater vehicles.

“When we say hyperscale, we mean the ability to produce tens of thousands of a given system,” he said in a briefing. “This is the target that we’re setting for ourselves right now.”

After AI, quantum computing eyes its ‘Sputnik’ moment

Posted by in categories: quantum physics, robotics/AI

“Quantum computing is not going to be just slightly better than the previous computer, it’s going to be a huge step forward,” he said.

His company produces the world’s first dedicated quantum decoder chip, which detects and corrects the errors currently holding the technology back.

Building devices “that live up to the technology’s incredible promise requires a massive step change in scale and reliability, and that requires reliable error correction schemes”, explained John Martinis, former quantum computing lead at Google Quantum AI.

Machine Learning Competition Designed to Study Exoplanet Atmospheres

Posted by in categories: information science, robotics/AI, space

Can machine learning be used to advance exoplanet science, and can this be done by non-scientists, as well? This is what Ariel Data Challenge 2024 hopes to address as participants from around the world will compete to develop machine learning algorithms designed to analyze data from space telescopes with the goal of gaining greater insight into exoplanet atmospheres. This competition will be featured at the NeurIPS 2024 machine learning conference and holds the potential to not only advance the field of exoplanets but also enable non-scientists to conduct pioneering research, as well.

“By supporting this challenge, we aim to find new ways of using AI and machine learning to develop our understanding of the universe,” said Dr. Caroline Harper, who is the Head of Space Science at the UK Space Agency. “Exoplanets are likely to be more numerous in our galaxy than the stars themselves and the techniques developed through this prestigious competition could help open new windows for us to learn about the composition of their atmospheres, and even their weather.”

Along with the UK Space Agency, other institutions supporting this challenge include the STFC DiRAC HPC Facility, European Space Agency (ESA), and STFC RAL Space. The competition is named after the ESA’s Ariel Space Mission, which is currently scheduled for launch in 2029 with the goal of using the transit method for identifying more than 1,000 exoplanets.

Neural Networks Made of Light

Posted by in categories: physics, robotics/AI, sustainability

Scientists propose a new way of implementing a neural network with an optical system which could make machine learning more sustainable in the future. The researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light have published their new method in Nature Physics, demonstrating a method much simpler than previous approaches.

Machine learning and artificial intelligence are becoming increasingly widespread with applications ranging from computer vision to text generation, as demonstrated by ChatGPT. However, these complex tasks require increasingly complex neural networks; some with many billion parameters. This rapid growth of neural network size has put the technologies on an unsustainable path due to their exponentially growing energy consumption and training times. For instance, it is estimated that training GPT-3 consumed more than 1,000 MWh of energy, which amounts to the daily electrical energy consumption of a small town. This trend has created a need for faster, more energy-and cost-efficient alternatives, sparking the rapidly developing field of neuromorphic computing. The aim of this field is to replace the neural networks on our digital computers with physical neural networks.

3 Jobs that AI Cannot Replace | Dr. Michio Kaku

Posted by in categories: cosmology, education, employment, physics, robotics/AI, space travel

While AI has the potential to automate many tasks, there are certain jobs that require human skills and abilities that AI cannot replicate. These include jobs that require creativity, empathy, critical thinking, and human interaction. According to the World Economic Forum, AI is unlikely to be able to replace jobs requiring human skills such as judgement, creativity, physical dexterity and emotional intelligence. Some examples of jobs that AI cannot replace include psychologists, caregivers, most engineers, human resource managers, marketing strategists, and lawyers. In this video, Dr. Michio Kaku mentioned three specific types of jobs that AI cannot replace: blue-collar jobs that are not repetitive, emotional jobs, and jobs requiring imagination. These types of jobs require human skills and abilities that are difficult for AI to replicate. For example, blue-collar jobs that are not repetitive often require physical dexterity and mobility. Emotional jobs require empathy and the ability to connect with others on a personal level. Jobs requiring imagination involve creativity and innovation. In conclusion, while AI has the potential to automate many tasks and change the job landscape, there are certain jobs that require human skills and abilities that AI cannot replicate. These include blue-collar jobs that are not repetitive, emotional jobs, and jobs requiring imagination. It is important for individuals to develop these skills in order to thrive in the future job market.
