New Microsoft-Backed Startup Wants to Make AI Work As Intended

[ad_1]  Artificial intelligence software doesn't always do what the people building it want it to do — a potentially dangerous issue that has consumed some of the largest companies working on the technology. Big companies like OpenAI and Alphabet Inc.'s Google are increasingly  directing workers, money and computing power toward the problem. And Anthropic, an OpenAI competitor, has put it at the heart of its development of Claude, a product it bills as a safer kind of AI chatbot.    Starting this month, a new company called Synth Labs is also taking aim at the issue. Founded by a handful of prominent AI industry names, the company is emerging from stealth this week, and has raised seed funding from Microsoft Corp.'s venture capital fund, M12, and Eric Schmidt's First Spark Ventures.

An AI Startup Is Helping North American Diesel Trains Clean Up Their Act

[ad_1] Transportation is responsible for one quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. While companies have touted electric vehicles and sustainable aviation fuel as ways to cut emissions from air and road travel, reducing the climate impact of rail transport has received relatively little attention.A Canadian startup wants to lessen that impact. Montreal-based RailVision Analytics has developed artificial intelligence-enabled software to help locomotive engineers make small adjustments in train driving that could lead to big savings in diesel fuel. That could help freight and passenger trains cut into the roughly 100 million tons of planet-warming gases released into the atmosphere every year. “It is just like Google Maps,” says Dev Jain, founder of RailVision Analytics, of his ...
