Why Gusto has stayed focused on serving small businesses

Getting payroll right is hard — especially for small businesses with limited resources. The three founders of payroll and benefits startup Gusto all found that out separately, running small businesses of their own, before linking up to try to fix the broken SMB payroll system in 2013.

While artificial intelligence (AI) promises immense benefits, it also imposes tremendous risks. Some of them—accelerating misinformation, sophisticated cyber attacks and soaring energy consumption—have already arrived. Others, including super intelligent machines that take decisions independently of human oversight, are likely still a few years away. Although awareness about these risks is growing, there are many others that have yet to be defined. And for all the incalculable opportunities afforded by AI, especially in developing countries, it is risky business.While artificial intelligence (AI) promises immense benefits, it also imposes tremendous risks.

Penn Engineers have developed a new algorithm that allows robots to react to complex physical contact in real time, making it possible for autonomous robots to succeed at previously impossible tasks, like controlling the motion of a sliding object.Penn Engineers have developed a new algorithm that allows robots to react to complex physical contact in real time, making it possible for autonomous robots to succeed at previously impossible tasks, like controlling the motion of a sliding object.[#item_full_content]

The silkworm moth (Bombyx mori) is an insect that no longer flies due to domestication. The males use their antennae to detect pheromones emitted by females and respond very acutely, and have been used as model insects for the study of their odor source localization.The silkworm moth (Bombyx mori) is an insect that no longer flies due to domestication.

Just as calculators took over the tedious number-crunching in math a few decades ago, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming coding. Take Kyo, an 8-year-old boy in Singapore who developed a simple platform game in just two hours, attracting over 500,000 players.Just as calculators took over the tedious number-crunching in math a few decades ago, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming coding.

More stable and efficient materials for solar cells are needed in the green transition. So-called halide perovskites are highlighted as a promising alternative to today’s silicon materials. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, have gained new insights into how perovskite materials function, which is an important step forward.More stable and efficient materials for solar cells are needed in the green transition.
