Away from the heady rush to build ultra-capable, sci-fi style artificial intelligence in Silicon Valley, ambitious Nairobi-based startup Amini AI is betting on the technology addressing emerging countries’ prosaic problems in the here and now.Away from the heady rush to build ultra-capable, sci-fi style artificial intelligence in Silicon Valley, ambitious Nairobi-based startup Amini AI is betting on the technology addressing emerging countries’ prosaic problems in the here and now.Business[#item_full_content]
A team of engineers, AI specialists and chip design researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has designed, built and tested what they are describing as the first AI-based chip design system. The group has published a paper describing their system, called QiMeng, on the arXiv preprint server.A team of engineers, AI specialists and chip design researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has designed, built and tested what they are describing as the first AI-based chip design system.

Art restoration takes steady hands and a discerning eye. For centuries, conservators have restored paintings by identifying areas needing repair, then mixing an exact shade to fill in one area at a time. Often, a painting can have thousands of tiny regions requiring individual attention. Restoring a single painting can take anywhere from a few weeks to over a decade.Art restoration takes steady hands and a discerning eye.

Over the past decades, roboticists have developed increasingly advanced systems that can emulate some human capabilities and effectively tackle various real-world tasks. To reliably grasp, manipulate and utilize objects in their surroundings, robots should be able to detect and process tactile information, replicating the processes underpinning the human sense of touch.Over the past decades, roboticists have developed increasingly advanced systems that can emulate some human capabilities and effectively tackle various real-world tasks.

Partial differential equations (PDEs) are a class of mathematical problems that represent the interplay of multiple variables, and therefore have predictive power when it comes to complex physical systems. Solving these equations is a perpetual challenge, however, and current computational techniques for doing so are time-consuming and expensive.Partial differential equations (PDEs) are a class of mathematical problems that represent the interplay of multiple variables, and therefore have predictive power when it comes to complex physical systems.

The news is awash with stories about AI and the effects it can have on society—some news sites even have a dedicated tab for such stories. Though subjects vary, many stories raise the alarm about some potential negative impact or another. But researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, have recently discovered something positive relating to the profession of taxi driving, with implications of a broader pattern at play.The news is awash with stories about AI and the effects it can have on society—some news sites even have a dedicated tab for such stories.
