The robot AI system with built-in safety prompts.

(Nanowerk News) A hardware accelerator initially developed for artificial intelligence operations successfully speeds up the alignment of protein and DNA molecules, making the process up to 10 times faster than state-of-the-art methods.

This approach can make it more efficient to align protein sequences and DNA for genome assembly, which is a fundamental problem in computational biology.

This short video provides:
1. Definition of an AI hallucination.
2. Probability of an AI hallucination occurrence.
3. Top reasons for an AI to hallucinate.

A longer companion video on AI errors or hallucination is also posted. This video goes into more detail on hallucinations plus adds:
1. How to detect an AI hallucination.
2. How to reduce the probability of an AI hallucination.

It’s a big problem when chatbots spew untruths. But we should also celebrate these hallucinations as prompts for human creativity and a barrier to machines taking over.

An AI-generated article about a murder that never happened in New Jersey has police and local news outlets in a tizzy.

Finally, he used an oscillating fan to make the droid’s domed head turn back and forth. Meanwhile, a Bluetooth speaker was inserted in the droid’s body to play droid sounds as the robot moves.

Since he could not faithfully recreate R2-D2, he called his invention R9-D9. That does not change the fact that all it takes is one look at it to know it’s Star Wars-inspired.

Scientists are exploring the potential of quantum machine learning. But whether there are useful applications for the fusion of artificial intelligence and quantum computing is unclear.

The coming year is going to see the first sweeping AI laws enter into force, with global efforts to hold tech companies accountable.

In 2023, AI policy and regulation went from a niche, nerdy topic to front-page news.

Smartphone apps can differentiate between tuberculosis and other respiratory conditions. It’s part of an AI-driven trend: using sound to diagnose illnesses.
