How Nvidia plans to own the data center with AI

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Nvidia Corp. wants to transform enterprise computing completely by making data centers run 10 times faster at one-10th the cost.

Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang (pictured) is crafting a strategy to re-architect today’s on-premises data centers, public clouds and edge computing installations with a vision that leverages the company’s strong position in artificial intelligence architectures. The keys to this end-to-end strategy include a clarity of vision, massive chip design skills, new Arm-based architectures that integrate memory, processors, I/O and networking, and a compelling software consumption model.

New Dark Matter Map Shows The Bridges Between The Milky Way And Nearby Galaxies

Posted by in categories: cosmology, robotics/AI

A new map of dark matter made using artificial intelligence reveals hidden filaments of the invisible stuff bridging galaxies.

The map focuses on the local universe — the neighborhood surrounding the Milky Way. Despite being close by, the local universe is difficult to map because it’s chock full of complex structures made of visible matter, said Donghui Jeong, an astrophysicist at Pennsylvania State University and the lead author of the new research.

“We have to reverse engineer to know where dark matter is by looking at galaxies,” Jeong told Live Science.

More than half of Europeans want to replace lawmakers with AI, study says

Posted by in categories: governance, information science, robotics/AI

I think we should. If it is corrupt or makes mistakes, it will at least be correctable.


LONDON — A study has found that most Europeans would like to see some of their members of parliament replaced by algorithms.

Researchers at IE University’s Center for the Governance of Change asked 2769 people from 11 countries worldwide how they would feel about reducing the number of national parliamentarians in their country and giving those seats to an AI that would have access to their data.
