Unveiling Quantum Gravity: New Results From IceCube Neutrino Observatory and Fermi Space Telescope

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics, space

Researchers have reached a significant milestone in the field of quantum gravity research, finding preliminary statistical support for quantum gravity.

In a study published in Nature Astronomy on June 12, a team of researchers from the University of Naples “Federico II,” the University of Wroclaw, and the University of Bergen examined a quantum-gravity model of particle propagation in which the speed of ultrarelativistic particles decreases with rising energy. This effect is expected to be extremely small, proportional to the ratio between particle energy and the Planck scale, but when observing very distant astrophysical sources, it can accumulate to observable levels. The investigation used gamma-ray bursts observed by the Fermi telescope and ultra-high-energy neutrinos detected by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, testing the hypothesis that some neutrinos and some gamma-ray bursts might have a common origin but are observed at different times as a result of the energy-dependent reduction in speed.

Leveraging cyber security for Artificial Intelligence

Posted by in categories: business, cybercrime/malcode, robotics/AI

In the digital age, SaaS businesses have started embracing transformative technologies, such as Artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing. According to a research firm, the market for artificial intelligence (AI) is nearly 100 billion USD, which is expected to grow twentyfold by 2030, up to almost 2 trillion USD.

Although AI promises revolutionary advancements and cloud computing enables efficient storage and processing of massive amounts of data, their rapid adoption also raises concerns about cybersecurity. In 2021, the global cost of cybercrime was estimated to be $6 trillion.

Local language data is essential for building effective AI tools

Posted by in categories: business, robotics/AI

Local language data helps automated systems understand and respond to users in their own language and can help businesses reach their target audiences more effectively, said Ganesh Gopalan, founder and CEO of AI startup Gnani.ai, during a panel discussion at the Mint Digital Innovation Summit & Awards on Friday.

“If we don’t have, firstly, content in the local language, if we can’t talk to machines in the local language, then it is not possible for no system to work and, you know, reach the right audience,” said Gopalan.

The panel discussion also included Vivekanand Pani, Co-founder, Reverie Language Technologies, who agrees that to develop an AI tool for any language, the availability of data is crucial.
