Explore the fascinating world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in this insightful video from Code Institute’s Programme Director, Brian O’Grady, as he delves into the realms of Narrow AI, General AI, and the intriguing concept of Artificial Superintelligence. Discover the evolution of AI from narrow applications like chatbots and image recognition to the broader capabilities of General AI, which mimics human cognitive functions across multiple domains. Join us in understanding the theoretical challenges and possibilities presented by General AI, including its potential to transcend human limitations. The spotlight is on ChatGPT, a language transformer that steps into the realm of General AI, showcasing its ability to synthesize knowledge across various domains and navigate the ambiguity of human language. Dive into the discussion on the probabilities and learning processes associated with language models, bringing us closer to the realm of true AI. The video also touches on the theoretical concept of Artificial Superintelligence, a level of AI that surpasses human intelligence across all aspects. While we may be far from achieving this level of AI, the ongoing advancements in technologies like quantum computing suggest an exciting future. Join us on this journey through the AI landscape, understanding the present and envisioning the possibilities that lie ahead.

There’s a new disease-detecting technology in the lab of Sanjiv “Sam” Gambhir, MD PhD, and its No. 1 source of data is number one. And number two.

It’s a smart toilet. But not the kind that lifts its own lid in preparation for use; this toilet is fitted with technology that can detect a range of disease markers in stool and urine, including those of some cancers, such as colorectal or urologic cancers. The device could be particularly appealing to individuals who are genetically predisposed to certain conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome, prostate cancer or kidney failure, and want to keep on top of their health.

Summary: Researchers developed an innovated a technique to convert complex neuroimaging data into audiovisual formats. By transforming brain activity and blood flow data from behaviors like running or grooming in mice into synchronized piano and violin sounds, accompanied by video, they offer an intuitive approach to explore the brain’s intricate workings.

This method not only makes it easier to identify patterns in large datasets but also enhances the understanding of the dynamic relationship between neuronal activity and behavior. The toolkit represents a significant step forward in neuroscientific research, enabling scientists to intuitively screen and interpret vast amounts of brain data.

If electronics tried selling themselves by speaking to you, would you have a greater urge to buy them? This is what a recent study published in Decision Support Systems hopes to address as a research duo investigated how artificial intelligence (AI) could be used as a productive marketing and retail tool for selling their products. This study holds the potential to help researchers, businesses, and consumers better understand how AI can be sold using anthromorphism (possessing human attributes).

“Companies have long used cartoon-like characters to sell products. We are familiar with the ‘M&M spokescandies’, for example,” said Dr. Alan Dennis, who is a Professor of Information Systems in the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University and co-author on the study. “But adding human features to a product can be a powerful way to influence consumers’ perceptions and decision making, because it can trigger anthromorphism.”

For the study, the researchers enlisted approximately 50 undergraduate students and asked them to pretend they were new master’s degree students who needed a new television, camera, or laptop for their studies. Using an eBay-style auction website, the students then bid on the products after watching a two-minute video exhibiting a speaker with human attributes which described the product. The goal of the study was to ascertain how much the students were willing to bid on the products with the video compared to products without, all while using an Emotiv EPOC EEG headset to gather data on their brain activity.
