Jeff Bezos Is Funding a Wild Hunt for the Brain\u2019s \u2018Core Algorithm\u2019<\/strong><\/a>Steven Levy | Wired ($)<\/em><\/p>\n “The goal, Reardon tells me, is to construct ‘an artificial artificial intelligence brain that runs on 50 watts or less.’ It should adapt to its conditions, be as nimble as a human mind, and burn a tiny fraction of an LLM\u2019s compute power and energy. The proof of concept is prospering inside our skulls.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Researchers Are Using AI to Create Vaccines\u2014and It\u2019s Working “An experimental pan-coronavirus vaccine developed with AI has just passed a phase I trial within the UK. Scientists on the University of Cambridge used AI to search out a kink within the armor of coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the explanation for covid-19. …The researchers are also hoping to make use of their platform to develop broadly effective vaccines against flu and the Ebola virus.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n China Has Approved the World\u2019s First Invasive Brain-Computer Chip\u2014Here\u2019s What\u2019s Next<\/strong><\/a>You Xiaoying | MIT Technology Review ($)<\/em><\/p>\n “This March, the implant Dong [Hui] uses became the primary invasive BCI product on this planet to be approved to be used beyond clinical trials. It\u2019s now available to some patients with paralysis of their limbs because of spinal cord injuries. We spoke to a spread of experts to grasp why the device was in a position to reach this global milestone, what makes this moment so significant, and what to anticipate next.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Huge Study of Alzheimer\u2019s Genetics Identifies Recent Drug Targets<\/strong><\/a>Chris Simms | Recent Scientist ($)<\/em><\/p>\n “The largest genetic study of Alzheimer\u2019s disease up to now has identified 127 gene locations which might be related to the condition, of which 48 are latest. The study also pinpoints several genes that might be prioritized as drug targets and cell types linked to the next genetic risk of the condition.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This AI Weather Startup Is Out-forecasting Government Agencies<\/strong><\/a>Tim Fernholz | TechCrunch<\/em><\/p>\n “One easy technique to understand it, WindBorne\u2019s chief product officer Kai Marshland says, is that WeatherMesh-6 ‘is as accurate five days out as a standard forecast is the day before,’ particularly on surface temperature measurements. WeatherMesh-6 produces a forecast every hour, versus every six hours, as traditional models do, and its resolution is now all the way down to 3 km within the continental US.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Microsoft\u2019s Next-Gen Quantum Chip Cuts Timeline to Useful Quantum Computing<\/strong><\/a>Tom Warren | The Verge<\/em><\/p>\n “Microsoft claimed last 12 months that it had made a key breakthrough in quantum computing with Majorana 1, the corporate\u2019s first quantum processor. While physicists were immediately skeptical of Microsoft\u2019s claims, the software giant is announcing Majorana 2 today, the subsequent generation of its topological quantum chip.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n SpaceX\u2019s Next Big Business Could Be Constructing Stuff in Space<\/strong><\/a>Passant Rabie | Gizmodo<\/em><\/p>\n “The FAA recently approved test flights of the corporate’s [Starfall] reentry vehicles. …With Starfall, SpaceX would add in-orbit manufacturing to its business portfolio. The thought of in-orbit manufacturing has been around for a long time, using the microgravity environment to fabricate materials that may otherwise be unattainable to supply on Earth.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n China Goals AI at Predicting Who Could Pose a Political Risk<\/strong><\/a>Julian E. Barnes | The Recent York Times ($)<\/em><\/p>\n “A Chinese company has been attempting to develop artificial intelligence-powered technology that may enable authoritarian governments to not only monitor dissidents but additionally potentially predict who could turn into one in the long run. The work, which appears to be within the research stage, is ripped out of dystopian science fiction, offering a glimpse of a world by which an authoritarian state is in a position to move against its residents before they start any public dissent.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nBiotechnology<\/h4>\n
