ChatGPT broke the Turing test â the race is on for new ways to assess AI
The worldâs best artificial intelligence (AI) systems can pass tough exams, write convincingly human essays and chat so fluently that many find their output indistinguishable from peopleâs. What canât they do? Solve simple visual logic puzzles.
In a test consisting of a series of brightly coloured blocks arranged on a screen, most people can spot the connecting patterns. But GPT-4, the most advanced version of the AI system behind the chatbot ChatGPT and the search engine Bing, gets barely one-third of the puzzles right in one category of patterns and as little as 3% correct in another, according to a report by researchers this May1.
The team behind the logic puzzles aims to provide a better benchmark for testing the capabilities of AI systems â and to help address a conundrum about large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4. Tested in one way, they breeze through what once were considered landmark feats of machine intelligence. Tested another way, they seem less impressive, exhibiting glaring blind spots and an inability to reason about abstract concepts.
TSMC to invest $2.9 billion in advanced chip packaging plant in Taiwan
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company plans to invest nearly $90 billion New Taiwan dollars (about $2.87 billion) in an advanced chip packaging plant in Taiwan, the company told CNBC on Tuesday.
It comes as global chipmakers seek to capitalize on the artificial intelligence boom. TSMC acknowledged last week that there is a strong demand for AI chips.
The Battle of the Everything Apps â Digital Identity, Payments, Social Graphs, AI and Universal Basic Income
A high-stakes battle is unfolding between major tech giants to create dominant âeverything appsâ that combine digital identity, messaging, payments, and AI services. The winner of this contest could gain unrivalled data to power their AI platforms and to shape the future of society.
There is the promise of implementing a universal basic income (UBI) via these super apps as a mechanism to mitigate the downside risks of technological disruption in an era of accelerating automation and the rise of artificial general intelligence. Whether the promises will be delivered, lead to more equality, be decentralized enough to distribute power to all of humanity, or be available in time before the automation disruption will be, at the very least, interesting to monitor.
The main contenders in this race are:
AI creates a realistic video of you dancing from a single still image
An artificial intelligence trained on TikTok videos could help you take part in dance trends without moving a muscle.
Dr Google? AI could be doctor in the pocket, but companyâs health officer urges caution about its limits
I expect this to double over at least 2 maybe 3 times between now and 2030. AND, we here need to back it at every step if we really want indefinite life extension. Time to pick a side is right now.
The arrival of artificial intelligence into healthcare means everyone could one day have a doctor in their pocket, but Googleâs chief health officer has urged caution about what AI can do and what its limits should be.
âThereâs going to be an opportunity for people to have even better access to services, [and] to great quality services,â Dr Karen DeSalvo told Guardian Australia in an interview last week.
From Code To Creativity: How Generative AI Is Transforming Kubernetes
While the introduction of AI technologies promises to amplify the advantages of Kubernetes, these technologies are still a double-edged sword.
Research to merge human brain cells with AI secures national defence funding
âThe new research program, led by Associate Professor Adeel Razi, from the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, in collaboration with Melbourne start-up Cortical Labs, involves growing around 800,000 brain cells living in a dish, which are then âtaughtâ to perform goal-directed tasks. Last year the brain cellsâ ability to perform a simple tennis-like computer game, Pong, received global attention for the teamâs research.â
Monash University-led research into growing human brain cells onto silicon chips, with new continual learning capabilities to transform machine learning, has been awarded almost $600,000 AUD in the prestigious National Intelligence and Security Discovery Research Grants Program.
According to Associate Professor Razi, the research programâs work using lab-grown brain cells embedded onto silicon chips, âmerges the fields of artificial intelligence and synthetic biology to create programmable biological computing platforms,â he said.
Robot made of LEGOs produces DNA machines
A team of ingenious bioengineers at Arizona State University (ASU) has harnessed the power of childhood nostalgia, unveiling a creative solution to a long-standing challenge in DNA origami research.
Theyâve successfully employed a LEGO robotics kit to build an affordable, highly effective gradient mixer for purifying self-assembling DNA origami nanostructures. This innovative breakthrough, detailed in a paper published one PLOS ONE, promises to revolutionize how scientists approach DNA origami synthesis.
The creation of DNA origami structures is an intricate process, requiring precise purification of nanostructures. Traditionally, this purification step involved rate-zone centrifugation, relying on a costly piece of equipment called a gradient mixer. However, the maverick minds at ASU have demonstrated that even the iconic plastic bricks of LEGO can be repurposed for scientific advancement.
