Researchers have validated a technique for studying how people make “moral” decisions when driving, with the goal of using the resulting data to train the artificial intelligence used in autonomous vehicles. These moral psychology experiments were tested using the most critical audience researchers could think of: philosophers.Researchers have validated a technique for studying how people make “moral” decisions when driving, with the goal of using the resulting data to train the artificial intelligence used in autonomous vehicles.

Vision-language model creates plans for automated inspection of environments
0

Recent advances in the field of robotics have enabled the automation of various real-world tasks, ranging from the manufacturing or packaging of goods in many industry settings to the precise execution of minimally invasive surgical procedures. Robots could also be helpful for inspecting infrastructure and environments that are hazardous or difficult for humans to access, such as tunnels, dams, pipelines, railways and power plants.Recent advances in the field of robotics have enabled the automation of various real-world tasks, ranging from the manufacturing or packaging of goods in many industry settings to the precise execution of minimally invasive surgical procedures.

Stripe’s former growth lead helps African diaspora invest in startups, real estate

When Joe Kinvi joined Touchtech Payments in 2017 as head of finance, the Irish startup couldn’t afford his full salary. So he negotiated for stock to make up the difference. Eighteen months later, Stripe acquired the company, and that equity converted into Stripe shares, enough to let Kinvi leave his job, bootstrap a side project, […]When Joe Kinvi joined Touchtech Payments in 2017 as head of finance, the Irish startup couldn’t afford his full salary.

No matter which questions we ask an AI, the model will come up with an answer. To produce this information—regardless of whether the answer is correct or not—the model uses tokens. Tokens are words or parts of words that are converted into a string of numbers that can be processed by the LLM.No matter which questions we ask an AI, the model will come up with an answer.
