How Will Angstrom-Scale Chips Advance the Electronics Industry?

Angstrom-scale ICs will require innovation across the entire semiconductor ecosystem: This will include advances in both the hardware (transistors, power distribution, and connection of multi-die systems) and tools (EDA tools with AI/ML and silicon life-cycle management).

Every time you stream a 4K movie from your phone or play an online video game, you require bandwidth—high rates of data transfer that enable your connected devices to deliver engaging, interactive, and immersive experiences (Figure 1). Our digital world—with its increasing levels of intelligence—continues to demand more from the underlying technologies that make all these activities possible. But there are bottlenecks that threaten to thwart real-time responses.

Electricity-free circuit helps free up space for robots to ‘think,’ say scientists

Engineers have worked out how to give robots complex instructions without electricity for the first time, which could free up more space in the robotic ‘brain’ for them to ‘think.’

Mimicking how some parts of the human body work, researchers from King’s College London have transmitted a series of commands to devices with a new kind of compact circuit, using variations in pressure from a fluid inside it.

They say this world first opens up the possibility of a new generation of robots, whose bodies could operate independently of their built-in control center, with this space potentially being used instead for more complex AI-powered software.

Tesla’s Cybercab: Elon Musk unveils robotaxi, pledges it ‘before 2027’

Elon Musk on Thursday unveiled what he said was a robotaxi capable of self-driving, predicting it would be available by 2027—about a decade after he first promised an autonomous vehicle.

The Tesla CEO said the fully electric car—which has no steering wheel or pedals—would be priced under $30,000, would be charged wirelessly with inductive technology and would be “10 to 20 times safer” than human-driven cars.

“You can think of the car in an autonomous world as being like just a little lounge,” he told a crowd at the Warner Brothers Studio lot near Los Angeles.

Scientists Are Developing a Tool That Can ‘See’ Your Consciousness

Time, in this view, doesn’t look like a line in which one event causes another. Instead, eight events might be the eight vertices of a cube. Each point may connect with new geometric shapes that arise inside the cube—the vertices of which are also events—or the cube could become a point in a larger geometry. In any case, time is building a geometry like a crystal.

THE TEAM BUILT TWO ARTIFICIAL BRAINS to operate according to these theories so they could observe what happens without the interference of human projections, narratives, and emotions, and compare them with human subjects. An artificial brain doesn’t have an ego or a sense of existential dread, among other things, that might muddy the results. On the other hand, they were limited to a smaller number of primes because the machines don’t have other attributes humans do have.

The goal isn’t just to isolate consciousness or define it. It is for humans to understand and recalibrate along the lines of universal consciousness. Bandyopadhyay and his team want to build a better world by beginning not with human logic but by observing the patterns nature itself has created–the universal invariables.

Intel Introduces Hala Point, the Most Advanced Neuromorphic System

Intel utilizes neuromorphic computing, a hyper-efficient solution inspired by the human brain, to address the need for fundamentally new approaches to sustainable artificial intelligence.

New Gmail Security Alert For Billions As 7-Day AI Hack Confirmed

Google has implemented increasingly sophisticated protections against those who would compromise your Gmail account —but hackers using AI-driven attacks are also evolving. Here’s what you need to know.

Sam Mitrovic, a Microsoft solutions consultant, has issued a warning after almost falling victim to what is described as a “super realistic AI scam call” capable of tricking even the most experienced of users.

It all started a week before Mitrovic realized the sophistication of the attack that was targeting him. “I received a notification to approve a Gmail account recovery attempt,” Mitrovic recounts in a blog post warning other Gmail users of the threat in question. The need to confirm an account recovery, or a password reset, is a notorious phishing attack methodology intended to drive the user to a fake login portal where they need to enter their credentials to report the request as not initiated by them.
