Earlier this year, ChatGPT was briefly banned in Italy due to a suspected privacy breach. To help overturn the ban, the chatbot’s parent company, OpenAI, committed to providing a way for citizens to object to the use of their personal data to train artificial intelligence (AI) models.Earlier this year, ChatGPT was briefly banned in Italy due to a suspected privacy breach.

Photonic neural network systems, which are fast and energy efficient, are especially helpful for dealing with large amounts of data. To advance photonic brain-like computing technologies, a group of researchers at the University of Strathclyde combined a spike-based neural network with a semiconductor laser that exhibits spiking neuronal behaviors.Photonic neural network systems, which are fast and energy efficient, are especially helpful for dealing with large amounts of data.

In June 2022, Google engineer Blake Lemoine made headlines by claiming the company’s LaMDA chatbot had achieved sentience. The software had the conversational ability of a precocious seven-year-old, Lemoine said, and we should assume it possessed a similar awareness of the world.In June 2022, Google engineer Blake Lemoine made headlines by claiming the company’s LaMDA chatbot had achieved sentience.

Believing in open scientific collaboration on AI technology, a Northeastern professor joined others in creating a state-of-the-art open generative model for programmers that can be licensed and adapted for different uses such as gaming and industrial automation.Believing in open scientific collaboration on AI technology, a Northeastern professor joined others in creating a state-of-the-art open generative model for programmers that can be licensed and adapted for different uses such as gaming and industrial automation.Computer Sciences[#item_full_content]
An autonomous vehicle must rapidly and accurately recognize objects that it encounters, from an idling delivery truck parked at the corner to a cyclist whizzing toward an approaching intersection.An autonomous vehicle must rapidly and accurately recognize objects that it encounters, from an idling delivery truck parked at the corner to a cyclist whizzing toward an approaching intersection.Automotive[#item_full_content]

Machine learning models are now commonly used in various professional fields, while also underpinning the functioning of many smartphone applications, software packages and online services. While most people are exposed to these models and interact with them in some form or the other, very few fully understand their functioning and underlying processes.Machine learning models are now commonly used in various professional fields, while also underpinning the functioning of many smartphone applications, software packages and online services.

Proponents of artificial intelligence say its potential is limitless. But cyber scammers could also use it to their advantage.Proponents of artificial intelligence say its potential is limitless. But cyber scammers could also use it to their advantage.Security[#item_full_content]
A machine-learning algorithm demonstrated the capability to process data that exceeds a computer’s available memory by identifying a massive data set’s key features and dividing them into manageable batches that don’t choke computer hardware. Developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, the algorithm set a world record for factorizing huge data sets during a test run on Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Summit, the world’s fifth-fastest supercomputer.A machine-learning algorithm demonstrated the capability to process data that exceeds a computer’s available memory by identifying a massive data set’s key features and dividing them into manageable batches that don’t choke computer hardware.
