Why Tech Buyers Face AI-Related Project Failures

Why Tech Buyers Face AI-Related Project Failures

Many U.K. businesses are struggling to get their AI projects off the ground because the technology is simply not applicable, an AI strategist claims. New research from data management platform Qlik has found that 11% of U.K. businesses have at least 50 AI projects stuck in the planning stage. Meanwhile, 20% have had up to 50 projects progress to planning or beyond — but then had to pause or even cancel them. “AI has the potential to impact nearly every industry and department, but it’s not universally applicable,” James Fisher, Qlik’s chief strategy officer, told TechRepublic. “Some projects fail because…

AI Medical Advice Risks: 22% Harm Rate with Copilot Use

AI Medical Advice Risks: 22% Harm Rate with Copilot Use

A new study based on Microsoft’s Bing AI-powered Copilot reveals the need for caution when using the tool for medical information. The findings, published in Scimex, show that many of the chatbot’s responses require advanced education to comprehend fully, and nearly 40% of its recommendations conflict with scientific consensus. Alarmingly, nearly 1 in 4 answers were deemed potentially harmful, with the risk of causing severe harm or even death if followed. Questions on the 50 most prescribed drugs in the US Researchers queried Microsoft Copilot with 10 frequently asked patient questions about the 50 most prescribed drugs in the 2020…

These Smart Glasses Will Read Your Emotions, Watch What You Eat

These Smart Glasses Will Read Your Emotions, Watch What You Eat

“We can manage what we measure, but what we mostly measure are things like money or speed,” Nduka says. “What we can't really measure is quality. And quality is about emotions. And emotions can be sensed most sensitively with expressions.”AI VisionHumanity has been asking whether AI can truly know how people feel for a long time, and most of the answers come down to, well, probably not. Even without a bunch of advanced cameras and AI smarts, reading emotions can be tricky.“Gauging emotion through facial expressions is kind of somewhat debatable,” says Andrew McStay, a professor and director of the…

NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs Sold Out: Demand Surges, What’s Next?

NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs Sold Out: Demand Surges, What’s Next?

Nvidia continues to ride the AI wave as the company sees unprecedented demand for its latest Blackwell GPU next-generation processors. The supply for the next 12 months is sold out, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told Morgan Stanley analysts during an investors’ meeting. A similar situation occurred with Hopper GPUs several quarters ago, Morgan Stanley Analyst Joe Moore pointed out. Nvidia’s traditional customers are driving the overwhelming demand for Blackwell GPUs, including major tech giants such as AWS, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, and CoreWeave. Every Blackwell GPU that Nvidia and its manufacturing partner TSMC can produce over the next four quarters…

Red Hat: AI Is the Most In-Demand Skill in the UK for 2024

Red Hat: AI Is the Most In-Demand Skill in the UK for 2024

Artificial intelligence expertise has become the most in-demand skill amongst IT managers in the U.K. in 2024, a survey has found, overtaking strategic thinking and the ability to tackle business-level issues. Open-source software firm Red Hat surveyed 609 global IT managers from businesses with over 500 employees in August, including at least a hundred from the U.K., about the technical areas they were finding most difficult to hire for. AI, including data science, large language models, and generative AI, was the most in-demand in the country, cited by 81%. This marks a 9% increase over October 2023, when the previous…

Mechanistic Anomaly Detection Research Update 2

Mechanistic Anomaly Detection Research Update 2

Previously we discussed our progress in testing some approaches to mechanistic anomaly detection (MAD). This is a short update on progress since then. We found anomaly detection performance was much worse for Llama 3.1 8B trained in the same way as Mistral 7B v0.1, the model that we were using previously. We found that Llama was somewhat less quirky than Mistral, but it still exhibited the desired quirky behaviour and achieved lower loss on average across the tasks. We found that the ratio of between-context variance to total variance of the hidden state activations at a given layer explained MAD…

Simulation mimics how the brain grows neurons, paving the way for future disease treatments

Simulation mimics how the brain grows neurons, paving the way for future disease treatments

A new computer simulation of how our brains develop and grow neurons has been built by scientists from the University of Surrey. Along with improving our understanding of how the brain works, researchers hope that the models will contribute to neurodegenerative disease research and, someday, stem cell research that helps regenerate brain tissue. The research team used a technique called Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC), which helps fine-tune the model by comparing the simulation with real neuron growth. This process ensures that the artificial brain accurately reflects how neurons grow and form connections in real life. The simulation was tested using…

Language model ‘UroBot’ surpasses the accuracy of experienced urologists

Language model ‘UroBot’ surpasses the accuracy of experienced urologists

Scientists at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), together with doctors from the Urological Clinic of the Mannheim University Hospital, have developed and successfully tested a chatbot based on artificial intelligence. "UroBot" was able to answer questions from the urology specialist examination with a high degree of accuracy, surpassing both other language models and the accuracy of experienced urologists. The model justifies its answers in detail based on the guidelines. With advances in personalized oncology, urological guidelines are becoming increasingly complex. Whether in the tumor board, on the ward or in the practice, a precise second-opinion system for medical decisions…
