⚙️ Progress & Predictions 2025: Robots, AVs and technical advancements

The past 12 months saw a lot of improvements in autonomous vehicles, robotics and the AI models that make them possible. But it also affirmed certain limitations, which grounds the technology in a rather interesting way. Essentially, my big AGI marker is simple; if someone can develop a — transparent — system, with very little training data, that is able to apply its “knowledge” reliably across novel situations, then I would say we might have a general intelligence on our hands. Because machine...

Accelsius and the drive for data center efficiency

AI for Good: Search and rescue bots p span[style*="font-size"] { line-height: 1.6; } In a world of both increasing urbanization and increasing environmental threats, including earthquakes, hurricanes, storms and wildfires, emergency response — particularly, search and rescue in urban settings — is becoming more of a challenge.  p span[style*="font-size"] { line-height: 1.6; } It’s one of many arenas that, according to some developers, is ripe for automation.  p span[style*="font-size"] { l...

Biden divvies up the world in latest round of tech restrictions

AI for Good: Canines and cancer screenings p span[style*="font-size"] { line-height: 1.6; } Generative artificial intelligence is often talked about as a dual-use technology; on the one hand, it poses a number of risks running the gamut from cybersecurity to sustainability. On the other, it could transform healthcare.  p span[style*="font-size"] { line-height: 1.6; } And while AI is certainly not curing cancer any more than it is solving climate change, generative tools are being leveraged i...

Agents, tasks, RAG and the double-edged sword

AI for Good: Cancer prognosis foundation model p span[style*="font-size"] { line-height: 1.6; } Increasingly, AI-based tools are being leveraged in clinical settings to aid in diagnostics. But the leap from diagnosis to prognosis (and the treatment plans associated with that) is a big one, largely owing to the quantity and type of training data required.  p span[style*="font-size"] { line-height: 1.6; } Researchers at Stanford Medicine and Harvard Medical School recently bridged that gap, un...

⚙️ The rollercoaster of enterprise AI adoption

AI for Good: Artificial hearingSource: Created with AI by The Deep View p span[style*="font-size"] { line-height: 1.6; } There’s a lot about the brain that we don’t know. But, when it comes to the ways in which the human brain processes auditory signals, here’s what we do know: when a sound wave reaches the inner ear, neurons pick up on the vibration and alert the brain by emitting spikes (rapid changes in voltage). p span[style*="font-size"] { line-height: 1.6; } Auditory neurons, according...
