A novel antenna bringing us closer to 6G wireless communications

I think communication with AI and each other will also be wireless so discoveries like this are important.


CityU

A research team led by a scientist at CityU has resulted in an innovative, game-changing antenna. This revolutionary invention allows unprecedented control of the direction, frequency, and intensity of its signal beam emission. On top of that, this antenna is invaluable for 6G wireless communications applications such as ISAC sensing and communication integration.

Israeli teens’ 3D-printed kit motorizes a plain wheelchair

A team of about 30 teenage robotics enthusiasts in Ra’anana recently unveiled a 3D-printed kit that transforms a standard $500 wheelchair into the equivalent of a $2,500 electronic wheelchair with enhanced maneuverability and powerful braking.

The add-on doesn’t interfere with the chair’s folding mechanism and is easily removed, so it can be attached to a rented wheelchair that must be returned in its original condition.

Soon You’ll Be Able to Make Your Own Feature-Length Movie With AI

2023: amateur movies, TV, books, & games.

2030: all above, and more, at professional level quality.


There’s a new Knives Out movie on Netflix, and I still haven’t seen a few of this season’s awards contenders. But the film I most wish I could watch right now is Squid Invasion From the Deep. It’s a sci-fi thriller directed by John Carpenter about a team of scientists led by Sigourney Weaver who discover an extraterrestrial cephalopod and then die one by one at its tentacles. The production design was inspired by Alien and The Thing; there are handmade creature FX and lots of gore; Wilford Brimley has a cameo. Unfortunately, though, I can’t see this movie, and neither can you, because it doesn’t exist.

For now, Squid Invasion is just a portfolio of concept art conjured by a redditor using Midjourney, an artificial-intelligence tool that creates images from human-supplied text prompts.

What we learned about AI and deep learning in 2022

Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here.

It’s as good a time as any to discuss the implications of advances in artificial intelligence (AI). 2022 saw interesting progress in deep learning, especially in generative models. However, as the capabilities of deep learning models increase, so does the confusion surrounding them.

On the one hand, advanced models such as ChatGPT and DALL-E are displaying fascinating results and the impression of thinking and reasoning. On the other hand, they often make errors that prove they lack some of the basic elements of intelligence that humans have.

Technological Singularity: Will A.I. Take Over?

Commercial Purposes ► [email protected].

The kind of rapid technological advancement that humanity has seen in the last 100 years has been the story of the century. Thanks to this rapid advancement, the idea that humanity is approaching a “singularity” has moved from the realm of science fiction to a concern for serious scientific debate. Some people believe that AI will take over the world soon. In fact, some experts predict that this technological singularity will happen within the next 30 years. The idea that artificial intelligence will take over the world and humans will no longer be in charge is scary and opens up the stage for serious debate. Today we are on the brink of a technologically activated change that will fundamentally disrupt every human affair and the entire human ecosystem, as it exists today. SO what is technological singularity? And how will it change our very own reality? Let’s understand it.

Can AI Win a Photography Competition? Take the Turing Test

The Royal Meteorological Society, which runs the Weather Photographer of the Year competition, has posed an intriguing question: Can artificial intelligence (AI) win a photography competition?

To answer this, the Society drew up a Turing test in which the viewer is invited to guess which is an AI image and which is an actual award-winning photo.

The Turing test, created by Alan Turing in 1950, is a test of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from a human.

The 5 top AI stories I’m waiting for in 2023

Tomorrow morning, I head south. Straight down I-95, from central New Jersey to northeast Florida, where I will be setting up my laptop in St. Augustine for the next two months. It’s about as far from Silicon Valley as I can be in the continental U.S., but that’s where you’ll find me gearing up for the first artificial intelligence (AI) news of 2023.

These are the 5 biggest AI stories I’m waiting for:

The Future of Data Science and AI: Careers in Data Science

Join the Pan Asian Alumni Network (PAAN) and the Alumni Club of New York City for a series of virtual panels featuring diverse perspectives from the UChicago alumni community exploring career pathways, philosophical questions and trends determining the future of data science and artificial intelligence.

The first program in our series, Careers in Data Science, brings together UChicago alumni across different industries to discuss their career pathways, highlight key industry trends, and share advice for anyone looking to break into these fields.
