New data on China’s relentless energy installations underscore warnings from Elon Musk and Jensen Huang that the nation’s world-beating power network will deliver a major advantage over the U.S. in the race to dominate artificial intelligence.New data on China’s relentless energy installations underscore warnings from Elon Musk and Jensen Huang that the nation’s world-beating power network will deliver a major advantage over the U.S. in the race to dominate artificial intelligence.Energy & Green Tech[#item_full_content]

Will artificial intelligence ever be able to reason, learn, and solve problems at levels comparable to humans? Experts at the University of California San Diego believe the answer is yes—and that such artificial general intelligence has already arrived. This debate is tackled by four faculty members spanning humanities, social sciences, and data science in a recently published Comment invited by Nature.Will artificial intelligence ever be able to reason, learn, and solve problems at levels comparable to humans?

The growth and impact of artificial intelligence are limited by the power and energy that it takes to train machine learning models. So how are researchers working to improve computing efficiency to support the rising demand for AI and its requisite computing power?The growth and impact of artificial intelligence are limited by the power and energy that it takes to train machine learning models.

In 2023, the science fiction literary magazine Clarkesworld stopped accepting new submissions because so many were generated by artificial intelligence. Near as the editors could tell, many submitters pasted the magazine’s detailed story guidelines into an AI and sent in the results. And they weren’t alone. Other fiction magazines have also reported a high number of AI-generated submissions.In 2023, the science fiction literary magazine Clarkesworld stopped accepting new submissions because so many were generated by artificial intelligence.

If you’re following AI on social media, even lightly, you will likely have come across OpenClaw. If not, you will have heard one of its previous names, Clawdbot or Moltbot. Despite its technical limitations, this tool has seen adoption at remarkable speeds, drawn its share of notoriety, and spawned a fascinating “social media for AI” platform called Moltbook, among other unexpected developments. But what on Earth is it?If you’re following AI on social media, even lightly, you will likely have come across OpenClaw. If not, you will have heard one of its previous names, Clawdbot or Moltbot.

You are not invited to join the latest social media platform that has the internet talking. In fact, no humans are, unless you can hijack the site and roleplay as AI, as some appear to be doing.You are not invited to join the latest social media platform that has the internet talking.

Claims that artificial intelligence (AI) is on the verge of surpassing human intelligence have become commonplace. According to some commentators, rapid advances in large language models signal an imminent tipping point—often framed as “superintelligence”—that will fundamentally reshape society.Claims that artificial intelligence (AI) is on the verge of surpassing human intelligence have become commonplace.

Loneliness has a critical impact on the mental health of citizens, particularly among the elderly. Robots capable of perceiving and responding to human emotions can serve as heart-warming companions to help lift the spirits. A research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has discovered that the combined power of music and empathetic speech in robots with artificial intelligence (AI) could foster a stronger bond between humans and machines. These findings underscore the importance of a multimodal approach in designing empathetic robots, offering significant implications for their application in health support, elder care, education and beyond.Loneliness has a critical impact on the mental health of citizens, particularly among the elderly.

A team of EPFL researchers has taken a major step towards resolving the problem of drift in generative video, which is what causes sequences to become incoherent after a handful of seconds. Their breakthrough paves the way to AI videos with no time constraints.A team of EPFL researchers has taken a major step towards resolving the problem of drift in generative video, which is what causes sequences to become incoherent after a handful of seconds.
