In a paper published in Nature Biotechnology, three Stanford University-affiliated co-authors, including Stanford Law School Professor Lisa Larrimore Ouellette, tackle an issue of growing importance at the intersection of law and technology: How the use of artificial intelligence to codify and communicate knowledge may influence the usefulness of the technical literature for subsequent researchers and innovators. In particular, they studied how the growing use of AI in the patent-drafting process is exacerbating existing challenges around patent law’s disclosure requirements.In a paper published in Nature Biotechnology, three Stanford University-affiliated co-authors, including Stanford Law School Professor Lisa Larrimore Ouellette, tackle an issue of growing importance at the intersection of law and technology: How the use of artificial intelligence to codify and communicate knowledge may influence the usefulness of the technical literature for subsequent researchers and innovators.

As artificial intelligence models become increasingly advanced, electronics engineers have been trying to develop new hardware that is better suited for running these models, while also limiting power-consumption and boosting the speed at which they process data. Some of the most promising solutions designed to meet the needs of machine learning algorithms are platforms based on memristors.As artificial intelligence models become increasingly advanced, electronics engineers have been trying to develop new hardware that is better suited for running these models, while also limiting power-consumption and boosting the speed at which they process data.
