AI can enhance legal efficiency and productivity, but it cannot replace the essential human skills, judgment, and personal involvement required in law practice.
Questions to inspire discussion.
AI’s Impact on Legal Processes.
🤖Q: How can AI streamline legal work? A: AI can streamline document review, legal research, and contract analysis, potentially saving time and reducing costs, but requires accurate databases of serious legal precedent to avoid errors.
Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have managed to enhance the framework of Brownian reservoir computing by recording and transferring hand gestures to the system which then used skyrmions to detect these individual gestures.
“We were impressed to see that our hardware approach and concept worked so well – and even better than energy-intensive software solutions that employ neural networks,” said Grischa Beneke, a member of Professor Mathias Kläui’s research group at the JGU Institute of Physics.
In collaboration with other experimental and theoretical physicists, Beneke was able to demonstrate that simple hand gestures can be recognized by means of Brownian reservoir computing with a relatively high degree of precision.
It also follows the discovery of a stealthy threat actor that presents itself as a legitimate enterprise and has been advertising automated CAPTCHA-solving services at scale to other cybercriminals and helping them infiltrate IT networks.
Dubbed Greasy Opal by Arkose Labs, the Czech Republic-based “cyber attack enablement business” is believed to have been operational since 2009, offering to customers a toolkit of sorts for credential stuffing, mass fake account creation, browser automation, and social media spam at a price point of $190 and an additional $10 for a monthly subscription.
The product portfolio runs the cybercrime gamut, allowing them to develop a sophisticated business model by packaging several services together. The entity’s revenues for 2023 alone are said to be no less than $1.7 million.
Samsung Foundry has reportedly secured a major 2nm customer, the US AI chip firm Ambarella, as the Korean giant seeks to gain market dominance.
Samsung’s 2nm GAA Process Faces Yield Issues, Yet The Firm Still Has Massive Attention From The Markets
Samsung is currently navigating its way through the semiconductor industry since the firm’s foundry division hasn’t witnessed a “conclusive” breakthrough yet, especially for its higher-end processes. To add further confusion to the matter, reports state the Samsung hasn’t managed to achieve “industry-standard” yield rates with its processes, notably the 3nm GAA, which goes to show that the Korean giant is experiencing a hard time in the markets. However, The Elec now reports that Samsung Foundry has secured a 2nm client, the renowned US semiconductor design company Ambarella.
“There are a bunch of stalls on campus where I go swing dancing. I guess those were the cruise ones,” says Dieck.
Last year, the self-driving car service Cruise suspended its fleet of nearly 1,000 cars nationwide following a hit-and-run crash, drawing concern about the partnership between Uber and Waymo, another robotaxi company.
“That might be one reason why I have never taken Waymo I would rather get in the car with someone who can maneuver, and you can see the rating that they have,” says Chester.
In context: The U.S. is eager to establish domestic foundry capabilities to produce AI chips, and Intel is working hard to position itself to be the provider. It was only natural, then, for CEO Pat Gelsinger to ask U.S. Commerce Department Secretary Gina Raimondo to put in a good word on Intel’s behalf with America’s chip designers including the likes of Apple, Nvidia, Amazon, and Google.
Ever since Intel announced plans to open up its manufacturing capabilities beyond in-house CPUs, the company has targeted TSMC as its top competitor in the global foundry market. Nonetheless, it’s been a source of frustration that fellow U.S. companies rely so heavily on TSMC for most of their semiconductor manufacturing needs.
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has turned to US Commerce Department Secretary Gina Raimondo for help, and according to sources that spoke to CNBC, she is trying to deliver.
Outperforms dermatologists in detecting melanoma, offering better diagnosis for challenging cases and improving patient care. 🩺🖥️
Heinlein, Maron, Hekler et al. evaluate an AI algorithm for detecting melanoma and compare its performance to that of dermatologist on a prospectively collected, external, heterogeneous dataset. The AI exhibits a significant performance advantage, especially in diagnosing challenging cases.

Honesty is the best policy… most of the time. Social norms help humans understand when we need to tell the truth and when we shouldn’t, to spare someone’s feelings or avoid harm. But how do these norms apply to robots, which are increasingly working with humans? To understand whether humans can accept robots telling lies, scientists asked almost 500 participants to rate and justify different types of robot deception.
“I wanted to explore an understudied facet of robot ethics, to contribute to our understanding of mistrust towards emerging technologies and their developers,” said Andres Rosero, Ph.D. candidate at George Mason University and lead author of the study in Frontiers in Robotics and AI. “With the advent of generative AI, I felt it was important to begin examining possible cases in which anthropomorphic design and behavior sets could be utilized to manipulate users.”
