What happened to the artificial-intelligence revolution?
In time, businesses may wake up to the true potential of artificial intelligence. But if worries grow, big tech’s spending plans will start to look as extravagant as its valuations.
So far the technology has had almost no economic impact.
AI Helps Decode the Language of DNA
DNA contains foundational information needed to sustain life. Understanding how this information is stored and organized has been one of the greatest scientific challenges of the last century.
With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome.
Language Model Can Listen While Speaking

How can AI truly converse like a human if it cannot listen and respond simultaneously, or handle interruptions when things go awry?
Enter the world of full duplex modeling (FDM) and the innovative listening-while…

“Chip Wars” Will Soon Be “Data Center Wars”, As Our “Next AI Trade” Develops
As we have alluded to numerous times when talking about the next “AI” trade, data centers will be the “factories of the future” when it comes to the age of AI.
That’s the contention of Chris Miller, the author of Chip War, who penned a recent opinion column for Financial Times noting that ‘chip wars’ could very soon become ‘cloud wars’
He points out that the strategic use of high-powered computing dates back to the Cold War when the US allowed the USSR limited access to supercomputers for weather forecasting, not nuclear simulations.
Ultrafast electron microscopy technique advances understanding of processes applicable to brain-like computing
Today’s supercomputers consume vast amounts of energy, equivalent to the power usage of thousands of homes. In response, researchers are developing a more energy-efficient form of next-generation supercomputing that leverages artificial neural networks.
DARPA Funded Research Shows Advances in Powering Robot Spy Bugs with Ocean Bacteria
A new robot bug that can live in the ocean for 100 years and feed off of bacteria has made its debut as DARPA’s latest surveillance tool.
With a vast amount of area to cover, the US government is funding research for new oceanic spy technology. Now, a Binghamton University team has developed what may become one of the most simple and effective tools in its arsenal.
Now, a new DARPA initiative is playing off of the idea of “the Internet of Things,” the term used for the many non-computer devices connected to the Internet in some way, from refrigerators to fish tanks, and seeking to develop an “Ocean of Things.” With many futurists’ eyes on space conflict and satellite warfare, it’s easy to forget that 71% of the Earth’s surface is water, and naval conflict is still an element in geopolitics.
OpenAI co-founder John Schulman leaves ChatGPT maker for rival Anthropic
New: 3 OpenAI leaders are leaving.
President Greg Brockman going on extended leave, John Shulman to rival Anthropic, and product leader Peter Deng is also out.

(Reuters) — John Schulman, one of the co-founders of artificial intelligence company OpenAI, has left the ChatGPT maker for rival Anthropic, he said in a post on social media platform X late Monday.
“This choice stems from my desire to deepen my focus on AI alignment, and to start a new chapter of my career where I can return to hands-on technical work,” Schulman said in his X post.
OpenAI’s President and co-founder Greg Brockman is also taking a sabbatical through the end of the year, he said in a X post late Monday.
BYU dietetics professor uses AI to create national glycemic index
PROVO — A new study from a BYU professor is giving insights into the quality of popularly consumed carbohydrates in the U.S. with a new glycemic index and database developed with the use of artificial intelligence.
Nutrition and dietetics professor Karen Della Corte developed a national glycemic index and glycemic load database that was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. A news release from BYU said the data offers insights into the “evolving quality of carbohydrates consumed in the United States, something that hadn’t been done previously.”
She hopes this database helps increase awareness on the importance of carbohydrate quality in one’s diet and how, with other lifestyle factors, it can help prevent diseases and extend an individual’s health span.
OpenAI Has Software That Detects AI Writing With 99.9 Percent Accuracy, Refuses to Release It
ChatGPT creator OpenAI has developed internal tools for watermarking and tracking AI-generated content with 99.9 percent accuracy, the Wall Street Journal reports — but is refusing to release it.
Effective tools for flagging AI-generated text could be useful in any number of situations, from cracking down on cheating students to sorting through the AI-generated sludge filling the web.
Which is why it’s so surprising that OpenAI, as the WSJ reports, has been quietly hanging onto tools that could do exactly that.
