“Our goal is to revolutionize the field of ultrafast photonics by transforming large lab-based systems into chip-sized ones that can be mass produced and field deployed.”

However, these lasers are notoriously large and expensive making them impractical for constant use. Now, researchers have made a version of these devices that can fit on the tip of a fingertip or more conveniently on a small chip, more precisely a nanophotonic chip.

The robot dog that helped the LAPD end the standoff on Wednesday was one of the controversial devices that the Los Angeles City Council had approved for use by the police department earlier this year.

The incident began around 3:45 am on Wednesday when a fellow passenger spotted a gun at the feet of a man who seemed to be asleep on the bus, the Los Angeles Police Department said.

Humane, a company started by two former Apple employees, says its new artificial intelligence pin can stop all the scrolling. Can it live up to the hype?

“I SEE IT AS TAKING BACK SOME OF THE POWER THAT’S BEEN CEDED TO THE COMPANIES OVER THE YEARS.”

Applying for a job has always been a frustrating task, and employers getting deluged with a huge number of online applications is making the process more painful than ever.

Software engineer Julian Joseph applied to 5,000 jobs using an AI tool called LazyApply. He got 20 interviews.

Historian and Sapiens author says sophistication of technology makes it difficult to forecast its dangers.

It’s no secret that foundation models have transformed AI in the digital world. Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, LLaMA, and Bard revolutionized AI for language. While OpenAI’s GPT models aren’t the only large language model available, they have achieved the most mainstream recognition for taking text and image inputs and delivering human-like responses — even with some tasks requiring complex problem-solving and advanced reasoning.

ChatGPT’s viral and widespread adoption has largely shaped how society understands this new moment for artificial intelligence.

The next advancement that will define AI for generations is robotics. Building AI-powered robots that can learn how to interact with the physical world will enhance all forms of repetitive work in sectors ranging from logistics, transportation, and manufacturing to retail, agriculture, and even healthcare. It will also unlock as many efficiencies in the physical world as we’ve seen in the digital world over the past few decades.

DBS delivers electric currents to an electrode implanted in the brain.

Neurotechnology – or – while still an emerging industry, has attracted both major capital investments, and extensive media coverage in recent years. As tech relentlessly searches for the next “big tech platform” in the aftermath of the smartphone era [1], we propose that the answer may lie within our own minds. At NTX Services, we definenology as any technological intervention that interacts with the brain or central nervous system either directly or indirectly, and as attempts to integrate human and machine to enhance both, applications of the technology are broad ranging.

Often described as a new field, is actually based on decades of academic research, previously held back from commercialization at scale due to technological limitations, and slow changes in government policies and regulations. Although humans have been researching the brain and its bioelectrical signals since the 1600s [2], the first major breakthrough in was the invention of the electroencephalogram (EEG) by Hans Berger in 1929 [3]. Since this initial invention, several key developments have influenced the evolution of the industry until 2016, when Neuralink was founded [4].
