The evolution of bio-inspired AI: developments and future direction

From the foundations laid by Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage to Alan Turing’s groundbreaking computing research, the world has been enthralled by the promise of AI – a dream to create machine-based entities possessing human-like cognitive abilities.

However, the trajectory of AI development later turned away from its biological roots in favor of brute-force computational power and algorithmic complexity.

With that, science fiction-infused dreams of lifelike robots have somewhat dwindled into

AI on the battlefield: who is responsible if it goes wrong?

In a world where “war games” no longer refer solely to board games or video games but to life-and-death scenarios facilitated by machine intelligence, the question of responsibility is monumental.

Militaries are ramping up research and investment in AI.

Some analysts defined an 11-day 2021 Israel-Palestine encounter as the first “AI war,” where Israeli technologies assisted in battlefield intelligence and deployment.

In recent months, the US military established a generative AI task force and

AI mind-reading: medical breakthrough or step towards dystopia?

Our thoughts might be our innermost sanctum, but they’re not out-of-bounds for AI.

Mind-reading AI appears as a plot from a science fiction novel, yet it holds immense promise for people who can’t communicate due to paralysis or brain injuries.

Beyond that, AI’s access to the brain would enable us to write, create, and design with mere thoughts alone or provide others with windows into our consciousness.

For nearly a decade, electroencephalogram (EEG) technology, which captures electrical sig

Decoding the universe with AI and machine learning

In ancient Babylonia, star-gazers meticulously chronicled the night sky, carving their observations in tablets to note the subtlest celestial movements.

Their observations, alongside other ancient civilizations, laid the foundation for luminaries like Johannes Kepler, who used Tycho Brahe’s data to unveil the elliptical orbits of planets long before we had the tools to observe such phenomena with our own eyes.

Today, humanity is no less eager to decode the intricacies of the cosmos, and AI has

Best solar inverter guide 2023 | The Independent

Solar panels use photovoltaic (PV) cells to convert sunlight into electricity. This generates a direct current (DC) that needs to be converted into an alternating current (AC) accepted by most household electrical devices. Converting DC into AC requires the services of an inverter, an essential device for any solar setup. Inverters are relatively simple in technological terms, but there are a few different types available. This guide explores the purpose of solar inverters and how to pick the ri

AI embroiled in assassination plot to kill Queen Elizabeth II

Sail was arrested on the grounds of Windsor Castle in the UK on the morning of December 25th, 2021.

He’d been roaming around for approximately 2 hours before he was confronted by a police officer, to whom he announced, “I am here to kill the Queen.”

After his arrest, Chail was sectioned under the Mental Health Act and held at a high-security psychiatric hospital, Broadmoor, where he pled guilty to the charge of treason for “being near to the person of the Queen, willfully producing a loaded cr

How CSPs can combine their existing infrastructure with edge cloud

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are persistently seeking ways to enhance their network performance, broaden their service offerings, and meet the growing demands for low-latency and high-bandwidth applications.

An emergent strategy is integrating existing infrastructure with edge cloud technologies. This enables CSPs to apply their network infrastructure and expertise to emerging categories of real-time data processing and analytics.

What happens when AI starts consuming its own output?

Data is the lifeblood of AI, but it’s not an infinite resource. Can humanity run out of data? What happens if we do?

Complex AI models require vast quantities of training data. For example, training a large language model (LLM) like ChatGPT requires approximately 10 trillion words.

Some experts believe that supplies of high-quality data are dwindling. For example, a 2022 study from researchers at multiple universities stated, “Our analysis indicates that the stock of high-quality language data

AI companies want regulation, but is it for the right reasons?

AI companies are pushing for regulation. Is their motivation paranoia or altruism? Or does regulation secure competitive goals?

In early May, Luke Sernau, a senior software engineer at Google, wrote an informal memo about open-source AI. It was widely circulated on Google’s internal systems before a consulting firm, Semi-Analysis, verified and published it.

Defining interoperability in maintenance • Infraspeak Blog

Interoperability, within the context of maintenance management, is the capacity of systems, applications, and devices to connect, communicate, and function together harmoniously.

In today’s highly connected digital landscape, getting systems to “talk to each other” is crucial. Otherwise, data remains siloed – stagnant – when it could drive efficiency across multiple systems.

For instance, in one Deloitte study, 75% of businesses reported data siloing and interoperability issues. A second study
