Iontronic neuromorphic computing has only recently broken ground but is developing at a rapid pace. A computer better than the ones living organisms already have (brain) just doesn’t exist.
This idea does spin the mind into theoretical territory around the future of AI and even consciousness.
That aside, the study published around the artificial synapse marks a significant step forward for the future of computers.
Calabi-Yau manifolds, 6D shapes that are crucial to string theory, were named after the late Eugenio Calabi (right), who proposed the shapes in the 1950s, and Shing-Tung Yau, who in the 1970s set out to prove Calabi wrong but ended up doing the opposite.
Using machine learning, string theorists are finally showing how microscopic configurations of extra dimensions translate into sets of elementary particles — though not yet those of our universe.
China’s first Sora-level text-to-video large model Vidu was unveiled at the 2024 Zhongguancun Forum in Beijing on Saturday, intensifying the artificial intelligence competition globally.
Vidu, developed by Chinese AI firm Shengshu Technology and Tsinghua University, told China Daily that the model can create a high-definition video 16 seconds long and 1080p resolution in just one click.
The company said that it is China’s first inaugural video large model with extended duration, exceptional consistency, and dynamic capabilities and is “very close to” the level of Sora.
AI agents are part of the industry’s broader effort to turn the excitement ChatGPT sparked into recurring revenue for a slew of companies that sell such technology.
As many businesses remain cautious about spending on conversational artificial intelligence, AI providers such as Microsoft, OpenAI and Google are racing to make the technology more of a must-have—by introducing new features that can handle complex tasks with little guidance from the customer.
Microsoft, for instance, is making software to automate multiple actions such as creating, sending and tracking a client invoice based on their order history or rewriting an application’s code in a different language and verifying that it works as intended, according to current employees. The new software, which OpenAI’s technology will power, would improve upon Microsoft’s current suite of Copilots, which summarize meetings or draft emails. Microsoft is planning to announce some of these capabilities at its annual Build developer conference next month, two of the employees said.
Astrobot’s S1 humanoid showcases unprecedented speed and dexterity in household tasks, marking a notable advancement in robotics.
A collaborative research team from NIMS and Tokyo University of Science has successfully developed an artificial intelligence (AI) device that executes brain-like information processing through few-molecule reservoir computing. This innovation utilizes the molecular vibrations of a select number of organic molecules.
By applying this device for the blood glucose level prediction in patients with diabetes, it has significantly outperformed existing AI devices in terms of prediction accuracy.
The work is published in the journal Science Advances.
