The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton for the invention of machine learning using artificial neural networks
The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Hopfield of Princeton University and Geoffrey Hinton of the University of Toronto “for their fundamental discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning using artificial neural networks.” Geoffrey Hinton, the 2024 Nobel laureate in Physics, expressed concerns about his own discoveries and inventions that made machine learning possible using artificial neural networks.
With the help of a new invention, people will be able to telepathically communicate with electronic devices
The first person received an implant from Neuralink and is recovering well from surgery. According to Musk, the first data obtained on the operation of the device show promising results. Musk later added that Neuralink’s new device is called Telepathy. According to him, it gives the owner the ability to control a smartphone or computer using the power of thought and, first of all, is created for people who have lost the ability to use their limbs. “Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a typist or an auction host. That’s the goal,” Musk added.
Scientists have grown a mini-biocomputer from human stem cells – Brainoware
Bioengineers from Indiana University in the US have combined lab-grown human brain tissue with microelectrodes. The scientists called their creation Brainoware. The biocomputer is in its early stages of development, but can already perform complex tasks such as voice recognition. Lead researcher Dr Feng Guo hopes his lighter-than-usual software will help advance artificial intelligence technology. This could also mean that AI hardware uses much less power than using silicon chips alone.
The UN and UNESCO drew attention to the problems of artificial intelligence
“The existential risk does not come from a robot-created Armageddon that will lead to our demise. The real existential risk is that we will all go crazy because we can’t believe what we see, hear or read… The fact that we have raised this conversation on a global level gives me great hope. The media has a very important role to play and it must reclaim its role as the “fourth estate” and we need it now more than ever. There are many ways to fact check the news, and that is what serious media organizations should be doing,” said Carme Artigas, co-chair of the Artificial Intelligence Advisory Body.
