The battle for internet search

In 2021, Carbon Robotics unveiled the third-generation of its Autonomous Weeder, a smart farming robot that identifies weeds and then destroys them with high-power lasers. The company now has taken the technology from that robot and built a pull-behind LaserWeeder — and it kills twice as many weeds.
The weedkiller challenge: Weeds compete with plants for space, sunlight, and soil nutrients. They can also make it easier for insect pests to harm crops, so weed control is a top concern for farmers.
Chemical herbicides can kill the pesky plants, but they can also contaminate water and affect soil health. Weeds can be pulled out by hand, but it’s unpleasant work, and labor shortages are already a huge problem in the agriculture industry.
Despite the VC gold rush, this expert is arguing that hype — as opposed to firm data and proven results — is in the generative AI industry driving seat.
Forbes writer Kenrick Cai joins “Forbes Talks” to discuss his landmark report on how generative artificial intelligence will reshape the economy and the world.

The artificial intelligence-assisted components are lighter and can handle higher structural loads than human-designed components, according to the agency.
“This kind of artificial intelligence that we are currently talking about can sometimes lead to something we call hallucination,” he told the German newspaper.
He added: “This is then expressed in such a way that a machine provides a convincing but completely fictitious answer.”
On Monday Google used a presentation to unveil its AI chatbot called Bard that it hopes will rival ChatGPT.
Microsoft announced new AI-powered classroom tools today. The company sees its new “Learning Accelerators” as helping students sharpen their speaking and math skills — while making teachers’ jobs a little easier — as children prepare for an even more technologically enhanced world.
Speaker Progress is a new AI classroom tool for teachers. Microsoft says it saves them time by “streamlining the process of creating, reviewing, and analyzing speaking and presentation assignments for students, groups, and classrooms.” It can provide tidy summaries of presentation-based skills while highlighting areas to improve. Additionally, it lets teachers review student recordings, identify their needs and track progress.
It will be a companion for Speaker Coach, an existing feature Microsoft launched in 2021 that provides one-on-one speaking guidance and feedback. For example, it uses AI to give real-time pointers on pacing, pitch and filler words. “Speaker Coach is one of those tools that kind of was a lightbulb tool for a lot of students that I’ve worked with,” said an unnamed teacher in a Microsoft launch video. “Being able to practice and get real-time feedback is where Speaker Coach really comes in and helps our students, and it even helps us as adults.”
As impressive as AI image and text generation are, they pale in comparison to the wow factor of video that gets the same treatment.

Saudi Arabia introduced its first-ever robot that can communicate in the Arabic dialect, perform popular local dances, and respond to questions at a conference in Riyadh on Tuesday. The event was held at LEAP23, the techno-conference, and the robot was documented by the state news agency SPA.
The interactive machine boasts a built-in camera that uses artificial intelligence to recognize when people are standing in front of it. It can then begin a conversation when a visitor addresses it with the sentence “Hello Sara.”
Sara has the ability to recognize different dialects from within the Kingdom. She can also analyze sentences and comprehend their content.
