The landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving, with groundbreaking advancements and thought-provoking discussions shaping its future. Irving Wladawsky-Berger introduces the Elemental Cognition (EC) AI platform, which mimics human biology by separating natural language processing from reasoning and problem-solving. This innovative approach highlights the potential for more sophisticated AI systems.
Meanwhile, Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang discusses the “next wave” of AI, termed “Physical AI,” which aims to integrate AI with an understanding of physical laws, enabling it to operate seamlessly in human environments. This development promises significant advancements in AI’s practical applications.
Elon Musk’s announcement of the 2026 sale date for Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot underscores the rapid progress in robotics, with Optimus already performing autonomous tasks. This milestone reflects the growing capabilities and potential of humanoid robots in various industries.
The articles also delve into the ongoing debate about AI’s role in society. Steven Strogatz’s interview in Quanta Magazine questions whether AI will ever possess common sense, while Yoav Shoham from AI21 Labs emphasizes the need to think beyond large language models to build smarter AI systems.
Finally, the discussion on AI as assistive technology highlights its transformative impact on individuals with disabilities, showcasing AI’s potential to enhance accessibility and inclusivity.
As AI continues to advance, these insights and innovations will play a crucial role in shaping its future, offering both exciting opportunities and significant challenges.
Irving Wladawsky-Berger, Jul 18, 2024 The main point of this post is to introduce the elemental cognition (EC) AI platform, "whose architecture follows human biology by separating its natural language components from its reasoning, problem solving engine." In this, argues the author, the architecture functions...
Some of the best and brightest work in open source. Who are these people? How did they get there? Where do they see open source going next?
Steven Strogatz, Quanta Magazine, Jul 18, 2024 So this is a pretty interesting interview. The answer to the question in the title, I hope, is 'No', but not for the reason you may think. Here's my reasoning. As Yejin Choi says, "it's reasonable to suspect that humans don't necessarily try to predict which...
Britney Nguyen, Quartz, Jul 18, 2024 This is a few weeks old but I heard about it on TWIT today and wanted to make sure I passed it along. The 'next wave' touted in the title is called 'Physical AI', that is, "AI that understands the laws of physics, AI that can work among us." The immediate and obvious...
Ahead of Tuesday’s earnings, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the carmaker will begin selling its Optimus humanoid robot in 2026. In fact, Optimus has already started performing tasks autonomously, like handling batteries, in one of Tesla’s facilities, according to its earnings report. “Tesla will have genuinely useful humanoid robots in low...
AI21 Labs co-founder Yoav Shoham says something extra is needed to build better and smarter generative artificial intelligence.
Donald Clark has posted about how many people are using AI as assistive technology. Time and time again, someone with dyslexia, or with a son or daughter with dyslexia, came up to me to discuss how AI had helped them. They describe the troubles they had in an educational system that is obsessed with text. Honestly, I can’t tell you how often I’ve had...
Does artificial intelligence really threaten the safety and well-being of huge swaths of the world's population? With calls to action growing ever more urgent, the UN is now raising alarms.
Is your favorite emerging tech about to explode - or fizzle out? Gartner's hype cycle offers crucial insights into the future of AI, developer tools, and security. See what's coming tomorrow.
In the next decade, the six levels of autonomous work will drive augmentation capabilities at first, and then full replacement of tasks, roles, teams, and - ultimately - lines-of-business.
Michael Webb, Artificial intelligence, Aug 29, 2024 Useful list of AI resources from Jisc. "We think the value is understanding how people are using them. So we are going to focus on sharing details of AI tools and features that we hear people are using and link to any story or information about how. Defining...
AI has quickly become a part of the mobile landscape. But what does that mean for the future of our devices' operating systems and hardware?
Enhance your organization's use of AI by integrating LLMs with specific business data for more accurate responses using vector databases and open-source tools.
Artificial intelligence chipmaker Nvidia last week said sales had reached a higher-than-expected $30 billion (€27.03 billion) in the last quarter, though added that growth was slower than the furious pace seen in previous quarters. Still, shares in the company dipped about 5% in after-hours trading following the report. Even though sales and profit,...
The hottest growing space in the AI industry is the AI agent space. Agents are autonomous entities that will complete tasks while humans are sleeping. You may have one agent working for you, or someday, a thousand swarm agents. The implications are significant. If agents … Continue readingPlot Your Path: The 2024 AI Agent Ecosystem Map The post Plot...
Roohi Ghosh, The Scholarly Kitchen, Sept 13, 2024 Roohi Ghosh provides us with a nice SWOT analysis presenting AI and human peer review side by side. It's a useful presentation because it doesn't simply idealize human reviewers and demonize AI, but rather, provides something like the same standard of assessment...
