Beyond The Likes of Nvidia Corp and AMD, Chip Market Troubles Pose Threats After AI Euphoria

[ad_1] This year's AI stock frenzy has papered over cracks in the semiconductor market. Beyond the enthusiasm for the likes of Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc., it's a mixed picture for investors.  Recent earnings pointed to slumping industrial and networking chip markets, while some on Wall Street are bracing for the impact of a potential economic slowdown on automobile chips. On the flip-side, smartphone components and personal computers look set for recovery, according to Samsung Electronics Co. and Intel Corp. “It's important to avoid painting semis with a broad sector brush,” said Brent Fredberg, portfolio manager at Brandes Investment Partners. “The concern is that the industry may now be entering a period of excess inventory digestion.”  Broadcom Inc., which has gai...

Intel CEO Says the Chipmaker’s Technology Is Central to AI Boom

[ad_1] Intel Corp. Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger, plotting a comeback for the once-dominant chipmaker, made the case that the company's technology will be vital to an industrywide boom in artificial intelligence computing.Speaking at Intel's annual Innovation conference, Gelsinger pointed to advances that his company is making in production technology and software developer tools for AI. The opportunity will only grow as more artificial intelligence capabilities are powered by personal computers, he said. “AI represents a generational shift, giving rise to a new era of global expansion where computing is even more foundational to a better future for all,” Gelsinger said. “For developers, this creates massive societal and business opportunities to push the boundaries of what's po...

Coursera’s CEO Wants its Chatbot to Become Your Personal Tutor

[ad_1] Coursera Inc.'s chief executive officer Jeff Maggioncalda wants to give you an AI-generated personal tutor.The online learning platform has recently launched Coach, a chatbot tool that plugs into ChatGPT. It answers questions by sifting through and summarizing Coursera's entire curriculum. Maggioncalda offers up a quick demo to start off our interview. “Can you explain in terms that a 10-year old would understand what a convolutional neural network is,” he asks. And the AI coach almost instantly responds via text. “Imagine you have a picture of a car and you want to find out where the car is in the picture. One way to do this is to look at small parts of the picture one at a time and see if any of those parts look like a car. This is called a sliding window. A convolutional, neur...

AI tool GPT-3 found to reason as well as undergraduate students

[ad_1] GPT-3, the popular AI-powered tool, was found to reason as well as college undergraduate students, scientists have found.The artificial intelligence large language model (LLM) was asked to solve reasoning problems that were typical of intelligence tests and standardised tests such as the SAT, used by colleges and universities in the US and other countries to make admissions decisions. The researchers from the University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA), US, asked GPT-3 to predict the next shape which followed a complicated arrangement of shapes. They also asked the AI to answer SAT analogy questions, all the while ensuring that the AI would have never encountered these questions before. They also asked 40 UCLA undergraduate students to solve the same problems.In the shape predi...

One Day We’ll All Have AI Friends if Humanity Can Behave Itself

[ad_1] In seven years we'll all have an artificial friend, if Eugenia Kuyda's vision pans out. And if the ugly side of human nature doesn't quash it first. Kuyda has some insight into this prediction as the chief executive officer of Replika, a startup that develops chatbots with generative AI capabilities. The app draws millions of dollars a month in subscription revenue from users, many of whom attest to being in love with their disembodied companion. “Instead of having an iPhone, we'll all have an AI friend,” Kuyda said. “By 2030, it will be ubiquitous.” In this week's episode of the Bloomberg Originals video series AI IRL, we talk about where the boundaries are on human interactions with chatbots and the ethical minefield that's becoming even more difficult to navigate. Before we ...

ChatGPT to Fuel $1.3 Trillion AI Market by 2032, New Report Says

[ad_1] The release of consumer-focused artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT and Google's Bard is set to fuel a decade-long boom that grows the market for generative AI to an estimated $1.3 trillion in revenue by 2032 from $40 billion last year.The sector could expand at a rate of 42% over ten years — driven first by the demand for infrastructure necessary to train AI systems and then the ensuing devices that use AI models, advertising and other services, according to a new report by Bloomberg Intelligence analysts led by Mandeep Singh. “The world is poised to see an explosion of growth in the generative AI sector over the next ten years that promises to fundamentally change the way the technology sector operates,” Singh said in a statement Thursday. “The technology is set to be...
