OpenAI, one of the best-funded AI startups in business, is exploring making its own AI chips.
Discussions of AI chip strategies within the company have been ongoing since at least last year, according to Reuters, as the shortage of chips to train AI models worsens. OpenAI is reportedly considering a number of strategies to advance its chip ambitions, including acquiring an AI chip manufacturer or mounting an effort to design chips internally.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has made the acquisition of more AI chips a top priority for the company, Reuters reports.
Do you know how heavy container ships are decommissioned? The process takes place in South Asia with the use of fossil fuel-powered torches to tear the ships apart and cut them into smaller pieces.
This results in much pollution both from emissions and the waste that runs down to the sea from the broken ships. It is also quite dangerous for the operators who have no protective clothing and often suffer many fatalities.
The system only flagged eight false warnings and missed one earthquake.
High precision and accuracy in earthquake prediction continues to be a key scientific challenge, and artificial intelligence (AI) has been investigated as a technique to enhance our capabilities in this crucial area.
This is because AI can analyze large datasets of seismic activity and identify patterns or anomalies that human analysts might miss. Machine learning algorithms can thus help researchers understand earthquake patterns better.
The AI tongue mimics how taste influences what we eat based on both needs and wants.
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University are developing an artificial intelligence-powered electronic tongue that can differentiate between various tastes of food and also make feeding decisions.
The device can sense sodium ions when detecting salt. “This means the device can ‘taste’ salt,” said Subir Ghosh, co-author of the study and a doctoral student in engineering science and mechanics.
There’s a new kind of robot dog in town and it gets its prowess from an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm.
An AI algorithm for a brain
The new vision-based algorithm, according to AI researchers at Stanford University and Shanghai Qi Zhi Institute who lead these efforts, enables the robodogs to scale tall objects, jump across gaps, crawl under low-hanging structures, and squeeze between cracks. This is because the robodog’s algorithm serves as its brain.
One of the biggest companies invested in AI is OpenAI, the father of ChatGPT. Reportedly, the company is taking matters into its own hands and is looking into making an in-house AI chip. The company may also be mulling over the acquisition of a chip company so that it has a steady supply of custom chips, as per a report by Reuters.
Mobility impairments such as those caused by cerebral palsy make it hard for people to perform even simple tasks like drinking a sip of water.
Gary Lynn, a Houstonian living with the condition, turned to Rice University’s Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen (OEDK) for help making the idea of an assistive-drinking device a reality. Rice undergraduate engineering students Thomas Kutcher and Rafe Neathery rose to the challenge, and the result is RoboCup ⎯ a robotic device that enables people with limited mobility to stay hydrated without help.
“We wanted to make it possible for people with cerebral palsy or similar mobility challenges to drink water autonomously rather than needing to rely on caregiver assistance,” said Kutcher, who is a bioengineering major. “The device is designed for wheelchair users who might have trouble holding a cup, and our hope is that it will grant users greater freedom.”
