In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a devastating earthquake. Like real insects, these robots could flit through tight spaces larger robots can’t reach, while simultaneously dodging stationary obstacles and pieces of falling rubble. So far, aerial microrobots have only been able to fly slowly along smooth trajectories, far from the swift, agile flight of real insects — until now. MIT researchers have demonstrated […]
Google’s seventh-gen Tensor Processing Unit is here! Learn what makes Ironwood our most powerful and energy-efficient custom silicon to date.
Most breakthroughs in deep learning — from simple neural networks to large language models — are built upon a principle that is much older than AI itself: decentralization. Instead of relying on a powerful “central planner” coordinating and commanding the behaviors of other components, modern deep-learning-based AI models succeed because many simple units interact locally […] The post Decentralized Computation: The Hidden Principle Behind Deep Learning appeared first on Towards Data Science.
Spoor’s computer vision software can help wind farms, and other industries, track bird populations and migration patterns.
Google DeepMind and UK AI Security Institute (AISI) strengthen collaboration on critical AI safety and security research
As expected and following multiple reports, OpenAI officially announced the GPT-5.2 model. For those unaware, it’s a product that the company fast-tracked out of the heat it’s facing from the success of the latest models from Google and Anthropic. Not to forget, the GPT-5.2 is OpenAI’s second biggest update since the company officially launched GPT-5 in August. GPT-5.2 is here with improved raw performance results In the announcement, OpenAI describes GPT-5.2 as its “most capable model series yet […]
The CEO of the AI data center provider, which has Nvidia as an investor and a supplier, described the environment as a “violent change” in demand.
There is growing attention on the links between artificial intelligence and increased energy demands. But while the power-hungry data centers being built to support AI could potentially stress electricity grids, increase customer prices and service interruptions, and generally slow the transition to clean energy, the use of artificial intelligence can also help the energy transition. For example, use of AI is reducing energy consumption and associated emissions in buildings, transportation, and industrial processes. In addition, AI is helping […]
