Mastercard’s new anti-fraud AI has a success rate of up to 300%

Posted by in categories: business, finance, information science, robotics/AI

Mastercard has announced that it has developed an in-house generative AI to help combat fraud on its payment processing network.


Instead of relying on textual inputs, Mastercard’s algorithm uses a cardholder’s merchant visit history as a prompt to determine whether a transaction involves a business that the customer would likely visit. The algorithm generates pathways through Mastercard’s network, akin to heat-sensing radar, to provide a score as an answer.

Researchers unveil wearable patch for enhanced robotic exoskeleton control

Posted by in categories: cyborgs, robotics/AI, wearables

SNAP’s 144 gold-coated silicon microneedles, each shorter than a hundredth of an inch, can bypass pain receptors and ensure comfort during prolonged wear.


Engineers from Korea and the United States have developed a wearable patch, which is slated to have the potential to further technologies related to human-machine interaction and healthcare.

Like a Band-Aid, the stretchable microneedle adhesive patch (SNAP) sticks to your skin and detects signals from muscles. In tests, people used it to control robotic exoskeletons better. These machines copy and improve the strength of human muscles and bones.

Meta plans new in-house AI chip ‘Artemis’ to break away from Nvidia

Posted by in categories: futurism, robotics/AI

Artemis, a second-gen custom AI silicon

As per Reuters, the chip, dubbed “Artemis,” is the second generation of a custom silicon line that Meta unveiled last year. It could give Meta an edge over its rivals by reducing its reliance on Nvidia’s dominant chips and curbing the soaring costs of running AI applications.

Meta, the world’s largest social media network, has been investing heavily in boosting its computing power to support its ambitious AI vision. It wants to create immersive and interactive experiences for its billions of users across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and futuristic hardware devices like the Ray-Ban smart glasses.
