At first glance, artificial intelligence looks like a software developer’s dream. A recent McKinsey & Company report found that programmers generated code up to 45% faster with the help of generative AI.At first glance, artificial intelligence looks like a software developer’s dream.

It’s a simple law of physics: When electricity or fuel powers a machine, the machine gets hotter. Finding new ways to cool machines quickly and controllably can mean the difference between a functioning electrical grid and a blackout or a working data center and a widespread outage.It’s a simple law of physics: When electricity or fuel powers a machine, the machine gets hotter.

Korea’s research community has reached an important milestone on the path toward next-generation mobile communications with the development of a technology platform that brings the 6G era closer. Researchers expect that AI-Native mobile networks, in which artificial intelligence autonomously controls and optimizes the communication system, could achieve transmission efficiencies up to 10 times higher than those of 5G.Korea’s research community has reached an important milestone on the path toward next-generation mobile communications with the development of a technology platform that brings the 6G era closer.

Hyundai-owned Boston Dynamics publicly demonstrated its humanoid robot Atlas for the first time Monday at the CES tech showcase, ratcheting up a competition with Tesla and other rivals to build robots that look like people and do things that people do.Hyundai-owned Boston Dynamics publicly demonstrated its humanoid robot Atlas for the first time Monday at the CES tech showcase, ratcheting up a competition with Tesla and other rivals to build robots that look like people and do things that people do.[#item_full_content]
Le Xie, Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), wants to know how we can modernize the electric grid to support rapid electrification and the growing demands of AI infrastructure. His research at SEAS focuses on the intersection of power systems, artificial intelligence, and decarbonization. We spoke to him about his work and the challenges facing the electric grid today. This interview has been edited for clarity and length.Le Xie, Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Harvard John A.

“Brainrot” is what many people call the chaotic, fast-moving memes, sounds and catchphrases that spread across TikTok, Roblox and online gaming and into playgrounds. An example is the endlessly repeated chant of “six-seven,” which still echoes through houses and schools across the country—to the bewilderment (or annoyance) of many teachers and parents.”Brainrot” is what many people call the chaotic, fast-moving memes, sounds and catchphrases that spread across TikTok, Roblox and online gaming and into playgrounds.
