Artificial Intelligence (AI) is going through something of a “hot topic” moment, as applications such as ChatGPT show the world just how powerful and capable it is becoming. The emergence of this new breed of “generative” AI tools has made it clear in recent months that it is no longer something that is only important in the realm of academic research or Silicon Valley tech giants.

And far from simply being the latest “viral sensation,” AI has truly become a technology that any business or individual can leverage to revolutionize the way they work or go about any number of day-to-day activities.

AI tools are becoming accessible to any business or individual, transforming the way they work. The technology is no longer just for academics or tech giants, so here we look at some of the top tools everyone should be trying out.

This is the second of two articles on Celesta Capital’s TechSurge Summit on February 13, 2023. In this article I will include discussions of a semiconductor panel and also some comments by Internet Legend, Vint Cerf on ethical use of technology and how to get AI to be more useful.

Jason DiLullo, President of Qatalyst Partners chaired a session at the TechSurge Summit talking about the semiconductor market. This panel included Sanjay Mehrotra, President and CEO of Micron,;Rene Haas, CEO of Arm and Ronnie Chatterji, the White House CHIPS Act Coordinator.

Sanjay had a number of things to say regarding the semiconductor industry and in particular the semiconductor memory industry.

However, AI programs such as alpha fold, which predicts how proteins will fold, is enormously helpful. He also mentioned that making information available on things that don’t work could be very helpful and suggested that we should publish our mistakes as well as our successes. This is also a good lesson for entrepreneurs, if something doesn’t work find this out as soon as possible and change or adapt your goals if needed.

One of my favorite childhood summertime memories is being surrounded by fireflies. As the sun set, their shimmering glow would spark up the backyard like delicate fairy lights. The fact that living beings could produce light felt like magic.

But it’s not magic. It’s enzymes.

Enzymes are the catalysts of life. They drive every step of our metabolism, power photosynthesis in plants, propel viruses to replicate—and in certain organisms, trigger bioluminescence so they shine like diamonds.

Magnetic fields abound in the universe. Despite the fact that the Universe is electrically neutral, atoms may be ionized into positively and negatively charged nuclei and electrons.

According to Science Alert, magnetic fields are created when charges are accelerated. Collisions between and inside interstellar plasma are one of the most prevalent sources of large-scale magnetic fields. This is one of the primary generators of magnetic fields at the cosmic scale.

The elixir of life has been sought for thousands of years. Today a scientific revolution has begun. Hannah joins bio-hackers in California, and a neuroscientist along the streets of Tokyo to experience the latest age-defying techniques and examines what it means to live to a healthy, happy old age. What will extended lifespans mean for society, and will the effort all be worthwhile in the end? (Source: Bloomberg)

One of the great questions for humanity is whether we are alone in the universe. Indeed, astrobiologists appear tantalizingly close to being able to spot the signs of life on other Earths — should it exist elsewhere — using modern observatories such as the James Webb Space Telescope.

Now a group of astronomers have taken this question further by asking whether life could exist in other universes. In other words, they want to know whether we are alone in the multiverse. And they have developed a way to explore this question by considering the range of conditions that might exist in other universes.

The question comes about because the fundamental constants that govern physical laws have values that seem perfectly arranged to allow life to emerge.
