World-renowned science author Yuval Noah Harari said that someday human brains could be hacked into if emerging AI systems are not properly regulated.
For people with motor impairments or physical disabilities, completing daily tasks and house chores can be incredibly challenging. Recent advancements in robotics, such as brain-controlled robotic limbs, have the potential to significantly improve their quality of life.
Researchers at Hebei University of Technology and other institutes in China have developed an innovative system for controlling robotic arms that is based on augmented reality (AR) and a brain-computer interface. This system, presented in a paper published in the Journal of Neural Engineering, could enable the development of bionic or prosthetic arms that are easier for users to control.
“In recent years, with the development of robotic arms, brain science and information decoding technology, brain-controlled robotic arms have attained increasing achievements,” Zhiguo Luo, one of the researchers who carried out the study, told TechXplore. “However, disadvantages like poor flexibility restrict their widespread application. We aim to promote the lightweight and practicality of brain-controlled robotic arms.”
Microsoft is launching a new AI language tool for business users. The Azure OpenAI Service will give vetted customers access to OpenAI’s GPT-3 — a powerful and problematic AI language model.
Neuroscientists find the internal workings of next-word prediction models resemble those of language-processing centers in the brain.
In the past few years, artificial intelligence models of language have become very good at certain tasks. Most notably, they excel at predicting the next word in a string of text; this technology helps search engines and texting apps predict the next word you are going to type.
The most recent generation of predictive language models also appears to learn something about the underlying meaning of language. These models can not only predict the word that comes next, but also perform tasks that seem to require some degree of genuine understanding, such as question answering, document summarization, and story completion.
DeepMind’s breakthrough AI system AlphaFold2 was recognised as a solution to the 50-year-old grand challenge of protein folding, capable of predicting the 3D structure of a protein directly from its amino acid sequence to atomic-level accuracy. This has been a watershed moment for computational and AI methods for biology.
Last yearBuilding on this advance, today, I’m thrilled to announce the creation of a new Alphabet company – Isomorphic Labs – a commercial venture with the mission to reimagine the entire drug discovery process from the ground up with an AI-first approach and, ultimately, to model and understand some of the fundamental mechanisms of life.
For over a decade DeepMind has been in the vanguard of advancing the state-of-the-art in AI, often using games as a proving ground for developing general purpose learning systems, like AlphaGo, our program that beat the world champion at the complex game of Go. We are at an exciting moment in history now where these techniques and methods are becoming powerful and sophisticated enough to be applied to real-world problems including scientific discovery itself. One of the most important applications of AI that I can think of is in the field of biological and medical research, and it is an area I have been passionate about addressing for many years. Now the time is right to push this forward at pace, and with the dedicated focus and resources that Isomorphic Labs will bring.
AI tools could speed the process of finding new drugs.
Google parent company Alphabet is launching a new company called Isomorphic Laboratories which will use AI tools for drug discovery. It will build off the protein folding work from DeepMind.

Should we Build a Dyson Sphere?
A new kind of Technology developed by Meta AI will enable more intelligent and efficient robots to enter our homes and replace humans in warehouses through advances in Artificial Intelligence. DIGIT and ReSkin are two advanced technologies that enable Robots to have better feelings than even some humans. One of the biggest and best AI Scientists, Yann LeCun is working on this very futuristic technology that may be considered one of the best robots and AI’s of 2021. Through Deep Learning and machine learning robotics, the smart humanoid robots will be abilities previously thought impossible.
