New AI Circuitry That Mimics Human Brains Makes Models Smarter

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

A new kind of transistor allows AI hardware to remember and process information more like the human brain does.

By Anna Mattson

Artificial intelligence and human thought both run on electricity, but that’s about where the physical similarities end. AI’s output arises from silicon and metal circuitry; human cognition arises from a mass of living tissue. And the architectures of these systems are fundamentally different, too. Conventional computers store and compute information in distinct parts of the hardware, shuttling data back and forth between memory and microprocessor. The human brain, on the other hand, entangles memory with processing, helping to make it more efficient.

Mammograms should start at 40 to address rising breast cancer rates at younger ages, panel says

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Regular mammograms to screen for breast cancer should start younger, at age 40, according to an influential U.S. task force. Women ages 40 to 74 should get screened every other year, the group said.

Previously, the task force had said women could choose to start breast cancer screening as young as 40, with a stronger recommendation that they get the exams every two years from age 50 through 74.

The announcement Tuesday from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force makes official a draft recommendation announced last year. The recommendations were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
