Inspired by biological cells, the robots are made of water encased in Teflon armor and are each about the size of a grain of rice.
We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.
Researchers have created a tiny, shape-shifting robot that swims, crawls, and glides freely in the deep sea.
Developed by a team at the Beihang University in China, the robot operated at a depth of 10,600 meters in the Mariana Trench.
Using the same actuator technology, a soft gripper mounted on a submersible’s rigid arm successfully retrieved sea urchins and starfish from the South China Sea, demonstrating its capability for deep-sea exploration and specimen collection.
China’s Manus AI represents a significant leap from chatbots to autonomous agents capable of executing real-world tasks with minimal human oversight.
FuriosaAI, a South Korean startup that makes chips for AI applications, has rejected an $810 million acquisition offer from Meta.
Joscha Bach, Cognitive Scientist and AI researcher, as well as Anthony Aguirre, UCSC Professor of Physics, join us to explore the world through the lens of computation and the difficulties we face on the way to beneficial futures.
Topics discussed in this episode include:
-Understanding the universe through digital physics.
–How human consciousness operates and is structured.
–The path to aligned AGI and bottlenecks to beneficial futures.
–Incentive structures and collective coordination.
