New technologies usually follow the technology adoption life cycle. Innovators and early adopters rush to embrace new technologies, while laggards and skeptics jump in much later.New technologies usually follow the technology adoption life cycle.

In 2018, my Australian co-worker asked me, “Hey, how are you going?” My response—”I am taking a bus”—was met with a smirk. I had recently moved to Australia. Despite studying English for more than 20 years, it took me a while to familiarize myself with the Australian variety of the language.In 2018, my Australian co-worker asked me, “Hey, how are you going?” My response—”I am taking a bus”—was met with a smirk.

Artificial intelligence tools called large language models (LLMs), such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini, can do a lot these days—dispensing relationship advice, crafting texts to get you out of social obligations and even writing science articles.Artificial intelligence tools called large language models (LLMs), such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini, can do a lot these days—dispensing relationship advice, crafting texts to get you out of social obligations and even writing science articles.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
A new international study has introduced Curved Neural Networks—a new type of AI memory architecture inspired by ideas from geometry. The study shows that bending the “space” in which AI “thinks” can create explosive memory recall—an effect similar to a lightbulb moment in the human brain. The research opens new paths for brain-inspired computing, neuroscience, and even next-gen robotics, offering tools to better understand memory itself.A new international study has introduced Curved Neural Networks—a new type of AI memory architecture inspired by ideas from geometry.
