How can we truly know if AI is sentient? We do not yet fully understand the nature of human consciousness, so we cannot discount the possibility that today’s AI is indeed sentient — and that we are mistreating it to potentially grave consequences.
DARPA just tested an autonomous tank that could help keep soldiers safe — and even more self-driving military vehicles are on the horizon. If autonomous vehicles prove capable enough for the battlefield, the tech could someday start finding its way over to civilian uses, too.
The challenge: Tanks have played an important role in the US military for more than 100 years, thanks to their tremendous firepower and armor, but every time the Army puts a soldier into a tank and sends them into combat, it’s putting their life at risk.

Tesla is revolutionizing the AI training compute power with the new Dojo super chips, which will be 40 times more powerful and will significantly advance artificial intelligence technology Questions to inspire discussion What is the new Dojo super chip? —The Dojo super chip is a new AI training compute power developed by Tesla, which is 40 times more powerful than current technology.
Innovation often arises out of serendipitous relationships or discoveries. Can AI do that?
Brains and neuromorphic systems learn with local learning rules in online-continual learning scenarios. Designing neural networks that learn effectively under these conditions is challenging. The authors introduce a neural network that implements an effective, principled approach to local, online-continual learning on associative memory tasks.
Machines that could think and learn like humans. A blessing for humanity, or an existential threat?
Definition Neuromorphic computing refers to an emerging field of technology that mimics the structure, dynamics, and efficiency of the human brain to build artificial neural networks and advanced computing systems. By reproducing the brain’s fundamental workings, neuromorphic computing aims to create more efficient and powerful hardware and software solutions for complex, real-time problems. This approach […].
The Rabbit R1 handheld AI device is a simple Android device, and a developer made the AI run on an iPhone.
The Rabbit R1 offers the ability to answer queries and perform tasks using AI, instead of using an iPhone directly. However, the work of one enterprising developer has resulted in a clone of the “iPhone-killer” which can run on an iPhone.
In X tweets on Monday, Will Hobick of Flutterflow posted that he would be posting a “cloneable template” of the Rabbit R1 app later in the week. In a follow-up post on Tuesday, he demonstrates a version of the app running on an iPhone.
