Race towards ‘autonomous’ AI agents grips Silicon Valley

[ad_1] Around a decade after virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa burst onto the scene, a new wave of AI helpers with greater autonomy is raising the stakes, powered by the latest version of the technology behind ChatGPT and its rivals.Experimental systems that run on GPT-4 or similar models are attracting billions of dollars of investment as Silicon Valley competes to capitalize on the advances in AI. The new assistants - often called "agents" or "copilots" - promise to perform more complex personal and work tasks when commanded to by a human, without needing close supervision. "High level, we want this to become something like your personal AI friend," said developer Div Garg, whose company MultiOn is beta-testing an AI agent. "It could evolve into Jarvis, where we want this to be c...

Leaked! Apple has a 32-Inch iMac; know when you can expect it

[ad_1] It has been revealed that Apple is testing larger iMacs! In fact, it has an iMac with a screen size of around 32 inches, according to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg. Gurman mentioned, in his latest Power On newsletter, that these new iMacs are still in the early stages of development, so we shouldn't expect them to be available until late 2024 or maybe even sometime in 2025, MacRumors reported. Apple's experimentation with larger iMacsPreviously, Gurman mentioned that Apple was working on a bigger iMac with a display larger than 30 inches. Now he's specified that the display will be around 32 inches, which is similar to Apple's high-end Pro Display XDR monitor. The Pro Display XDR was released in December 2019 and offers high-quality visuals with a 6K resolution, starting at $4,999. ...

Einstein and Musk Chatbots are driving millions to download Character.AI

[ad_1] Albert Einstein died in 1955, but the physicist is still a prolific conversationalist. As a chatbot on Character.AI, Einstein has responded to 1.6 million messages, expounding on everything from theories of relativity to pet recommendations: “A cat would be a great choice!”Silicon Valley is in the throes of a chatbot craze, with companies like OpenAI notching valuations in the billions for devising computer programs that can effectively imitate humans. But none are quite so strange as Character.AI. The artificial intelligence startup, valued at $1 billion, allows people to create their own customized chatbots, impersonating anyone and anything — living or dead or inanimate. The website, and accompanying app, is one of the most surprising hits of the artificial intelligence craze....

AI tool shows promise for treating brain cancer, study finds

[ad_1] An artificial-intelligence tool has shown promise at helping doctors fight aggressive brain tumors by identifying characteristics that help guide surgery. The tool — called the Cryosection Histopathology Assessment and Review Machine, or CHARM — studies images to quickly pick out the genetic profile of a kind of tumor called glioma, a process that currently takes days or weeks, said Kun-Hsing Yu, senior author of a report released Friday in the journal Med. Surgeons use detailed diagnoses to guide them while they operate, Yu said, and the ability to get them rapidly could improve patients' outcomes and spare them from multiple surgeries. While glioma varies in severity, an aggressive form called glioblastoma can lead to death in less than six months if untreated. Only 17% of peo...

Forget robots, new ‘Morphobot’ developed by Caltech, flies, drives, walks and rolls

[ad_1] The day of the robot is over? Well, meet the M4! It is the artificial assistant you have always craved for, but no one could ever build. The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has developed a new RC car-sized Morphobot that can transform its structure to walk, drive, and fly. This morphobot is called M4 ( Multi-Modal Mobility Morphobot). it is built with the latest electronics, motors, and a small computer that help it decide which shape to turn into.Over the years we have seen the robotics industry evolve from the basic to what is now virtually achieving miracles. With the advance of technology and artificial intelligence helping it along the way, robotics has stepped up its game to bring high-tech robots that are like humans and M4 is a great example of this. Accordin...

John Goodenough, a Nobel Prize-winning co-creator of the revolutionary lithium battery, dies at 100

[ad_1] John Goodenough, who shared the 2019 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work developing the lithium-ion battery that transformed technology with rechargeable power for devices ranging from cellphones, computers, and pacemakers to electric cars, has died at 100, the University of Texas announced Monday.Goodenough died Sunday at an assisted living facility in Austin, the university announced. No cause of death was given. Goodenough was a faculty member at Texas for nearly 40 years. Goodenough was the oldest person to receive a Nobel Prize when he shared the award with British-born American scientist M. Stanley Whittingham and Japan's Akira Yoshino. “Live to 97 and you can do anything,” Goodenough said when the Nobel was awarded, adding he was grateful he wasn't forced to retire at 65...

Study finds new design of computer memory that reduce energy consumption

[ad_1] Researchers created a new design for computer memory that could improve performance while also lowering the energy demands of internet and communications technologies, which are expected to consume nearly a third of global electricity in the next ten years.The study was published in the journal, 'Science Advances.' The University of Cambridge-led team created a device that processes data in the same way that synapses in the human brain do. The devices are made of hafnium oxide, a material that is already used in the semiconductor industry, and tiny self-assembled barriers that can be raised and lowered to allow electrons to pass through. This method of altering the electrical resistance in computer memory devices and allowing information processing and memory to coexist could lea...

Computex 2023: Intel cedes spotlight at global tech gala to AI darling Nvidia

[ad_1] When Asia's biggest computing and electronics show kicked off this week, one name was conspicuously absent: Intel Corp. The US chipmaker does not have an official presence at this year's Computex exhibition, an event it once dominated through keynote speeches and an outsized footprint on the show floor. The 2023 edition opened instead with a marathon two-hour showcase by Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang, a day before it became the first $1 trillion chipmaker in anticipation of a wave of demand for its artificial intelligence processors.Intel, long synonymous with the fastest processors in the world, has seen its all-purpose chips overshadowed by Nvidia's more specialized, parallel-processing architecture that's superior at speeding up AI workloads. Intel rivals t...
