Its based model performs better than state-of-the-art models available today.

Search giant Google has completed the ‘critical first step’ toward building its artificial intelligence (AI) model that will support the world’s one thousand most-spoken languages. In a blog post the company released details about its Universal Speech Model (USM).

Google’s announcement is part of the build-up to its annual I/O event where it plans to unveil a slew of products powered by AI.

“Data is the greatest currency created by the human race”.

Cloud computing startup Lonestar Data Holdings announced the results of its latest $5 million funding round, which will help it develop its technology for storing data on the lunar surface.

New lunar data centers will store humanity’s ‘greatest currency.’

The robots contain miniaturized sensors which are deployed as they traverse a cave or other subsurface environment.

Life on Mars is closer than you think. And researchers at the University of Arizona College of Engineering are already scouting real estate and house hunting. Their helpers? A flock of robots that can explore the subsurface environments on other worlds.

“Lava tubes and caves would make perfect habitats for astronauts because you don’t have to build a structure; you are shielded from harmful cosmic radiation, so all you need to do is make it pretty and cozy,” said Wolfgang Fink, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at UArizona.

The new systems will complement teachers not replace them.

Artificial intelligence (AI) robots could soon be teaching in UAE classrooms, according to a report by the country’s The National published on Saturday.

This is according to comments made by the nation’s minister of education at an education conference.

So low that Starlink satellites have started photobombing its images.

Starlink and other broadband satellite constellations will threaten astronomical viewing in the upcoming years. Today, a team of astronomers has demonstrated that the satellite issue can’t be solved even by the Hubble Space Telescope.

First evidence of magnetic fields in the Universe’s galactic web.

The cosmic web is the name astronomers give to the structure of our Universe. It refers to the clusters, filaments, dark matter, and voids that make up the basis of this ever-expanding Universe. We can observe this via optical telescopes by mapping the locations of galaxies.

In a new research published in Science Advances, for the first time, scientists claim to have observed shockwaves moving through these galaxy clusters and filaments that make up the galactic or cosmic web. A phenomenon that has long been a universal mystery.

New simulations paint a picture of our solar system resembling an ornate clock. “Throw more gears into the mix and it all breaks.”

A new experiment shed new light on the role Jupiter has played in the evolution of life on Earth. In a series of simulations, scientists showed that an Earth-like planet orbiting between Mars and Jupiter would be able to alter Earth’s orbit and push it out of the solar system.

Such an event would extricate Earth from its life support system, the Sun, and would therefore wipe out all life on our planet.

It can’t fix the code when it does not work though.

The conversational chatbot from OpenAI, ChatGPT, has attracted the attention of users worldwide. However, the lesser-known tool called Codex from OpenAI has quickly become a top favorite among developers. Codex currently powers the Copilot feature on GitHub.

How does Open AI’s Codex work?

“Now is the moment for a rigorous portrait of Elon Musk.”

Alex Gibney, an award-winning filmmaker, is working on a new documentary about Elon Musk. The movie “Musk” aims to be “a definitive and unvarnished investigation” of the multibillionaire CEO of SpaceX, Tesla, and Twitter. The project has been in the works for months.

Other documentaries by Gibney have explored topics such as Steve Jobs, Enron, WikiLeaks, Elizabeth Holmes, Scientology, and more.
