Amazon’s Chief Technology Officer discusses how the company is using artificial intelligence (AI).
Device aids stroke, physio patients:
The ‘robotic arm’ is a lightweight equipment that uses flexible, inflatable material to give support as the arm makes basic movements.
Max Tegmark argues that the downplaying is not accidental and threatens to delay, until it’s too late, the strict regulations needed.
Most of the deepfakes (videos with fake hyper-realistic recreations) generated by artificial intelligence (AI) that spread through social media feature political representatives and artists and are often linked to current news cycles.
From Google and OpenAI’s latest AI releases to Waymo notching 50K robotaxi rides a week, check out this week’s awesome tech stories from around the web.
New method turns liquid crystal elastomers into soft robotic actuators at room temperature, enabling easier customization and mass production.
Summary: Researchers developed a drone that flies autonomously using neuromorphic image processing, mimicking animal brains. This method significantly improves data processing speed and energy efficiency compared to traditional GPUs.
The study highlights the potential for tiny, agile drones for various applications. The neuromorphic approach allows the drone to process data up to 64 times faster while consuming three times less energy.
