AI coding assistants are here to stay—but just how big a difference they make is still unclear.
Two weeks into the coding class he was teaching at Duke University in North Carolina this spring, Noah Gift told his students to throw out the course materials he’d given them.
In an in-depth interview, Pichai predicts: “This will be one of the biggest things we all grapple with for the next decade.”
Google released the first phase of its next-generation AI model, Gemini, today.
In today’s column, I am going to do a deep dive into what is meant by the oft-mentioned terms known as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
I walk you thru the likes of AI and AGI and what they mean, including a recently posted proposal by Google DeepMind about encompassing levels of autonomy. Good stuff.
China’s quadcopter is aiming to enhance Martian exploration by conducting air patrols, aiding sampling, and extending rover missions.
Uber’s robots will be strategically positioned in busy areas with restaurants and crowds, aiming to bring a festive atmosphere to these demanding spaces.
Uber’s holiday season activities also include a festive fleet, Christmas kit, and Gift hub.
Researchers are utilizing a reinforcement learning method known as ‘curiosity-driven’ training for tasks like calling the elevator, opening doors, and sorting boxes.
Swiss-Mile’s ANYmal robot is being trained to perform practical tasks by manipulating its wheeled legs and arms.
The robots offer a modular, multi-functional tool may help to efficiently and economically execute a spectrum of tasks on the lunar surface.
The Japanese startup was selected as part of 14 firms selected by DARPA for its LunA-10 study.
The model expects to generate $203 million in revenue by 2030 from its new health promotion business.
How would you feel if someone offered you a stay at a hotel, but with a catch: they would watch you sleep and collect data from your body? Would you be curious, excited, or creeped out? Well, that’s exactly what a Japanese IT company plans to do as part of its new health promotion business.
NTT’s bold plan

The alliance aims to open-source the development of artificial intelligence and take on the bad boys of AI, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Google.
Major names in the technology industry, such as IBM, Meta, and many others who seemed to have been left out of the race to develop artificial intelligence (AI) models, have now teamed up to form the AI Alliance.
The collaborative effort also includes government and research organizations and a few startups that will work together to “support open innovation and open science in AI”, a press release from IBM about the alliance said.

Summary: Mice display behavior akin to self-recognition when viewing their reflections in mirrors. This behavior emerges under specific conditions: familiarity with mirrors, socialization with similar-looking mice, and visible markings on their fur.
The study also identifies a subset of neurons in the hippocampus that are crucial for this self-recognition-like behavior. These findings provide valuable insights into the neural mechanisms behind self-recognition, a previously enigmatic aspect of neurobehavioral research.
