stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

The U.K. government has launched a free self-assessment tool to help businesses responsibly manage their use of artificial intelligence. The questionnaire is intended for use by any organisation that develops, provides, or uses services that use AI as part of its standard operations, but it’s primarily intended for smaller companies or start-ups. The results will tell decision-makers the strengths and weaknesses of their AI management systems. How to use AI Management Essentials Now available, the self-assessment is one of three parts of a so-called “AI Management Essentials” tool. The other two parts include a rating system that provides an overview…

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a wearable ultrasound device that can provide long-term, wireless monitoring of muscle activity with potential applications in healthcare and human-machine interfaces. Designed to stick to the skin with a layer of adhesive and powered by a battery, the device enables high-resolution tracking of muscle function without invasive procedures. A team of researchers led by Sheng Xu, a professor and Jacobs Faculty Scholar in the Aiiso Yufeng Li Family Department of Chemical and Nano Engineering at UC San Diego, published their work Oct. 31 in Nature Electronics. The work was a…

A video game in which participants herded virtual cattle has furthered our understanding of how humans make decisions on movement and navigation, and it could help us not only interact more effectively with artificial intelligence, but even improve the way robots move in the future. Researchers from Macquarie University in Australia, Scuola Superiore Meridionale, the University of Naples Federico II, and the University of Bologna in Italy, and University College London in the UK used the video game as part of a study to understand more about how dynamical perceptual-motor primitives (DPMPs) can be used in mimicking human decision making.…

Researchers at the University of Liverpool have developed AI-driven mobile robots that can carry out chemical synthesis research with axtraordinairy efficiency. In a study publishing in the journal Nature, researchers show how mobile robots that use AI logic to make decisions were able to perform exploratory chemistry research tasks to the same level as humans, but much faster. The 1.75-meter-tall mobile robots were designed by the Liverpool team to tackle three primary problems in exploratory chemistry: performing the reactions, analysing the products, and deciding what to do next based on the data. The two robots performed these tasks in a…

AI-Assisted Attacks Top Cyber Threat For Third Consecutive Quarter, Gartner Finds

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

For the third consecutive quarter, Gartner has found that cyber attacks staged using artificial intelligence are the biggest risk for enterprises. The consulting firm surveyed 286 senior risk and assurance executives from July through September, and 80% cited AI-enhanced malicious attacks as the top threat they were concerned about. This isn’t surprising, as evidence suggests AI-assisted attacks are on the rise. Other commonly cited emerging risks outlined in the report include AI-assisted misinformation, escalating political polarization, and misaligned organizational talent profiles. Attackers are using AI to write malware, craft phishing emails, and more In June, HP intercepted an email campaign…

On Friday, TriStar Pictures released Here, a $50 million Robert Zemeckis-directed film that used real-time generative AI face transformation techniques to portray actors Tom Hanks and Robin Wright across a 60-year span, marking one of Hollywood's first full-length features built around AI-powered visual effects.The film adapts a 2014 graphic novel set primarily in a New Jersey living room across multiple time periods. Rather than cast different actors for various ages, the production used AI to modify Hanks' and Wright's appearances throughout.The de-aging technology comes from Metaphysic, a visual effects company that creates real time face swapping and aging effects. During…

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

The European Commission recently announced investigations into NVIDIA’s proposed acquisition of Run:ai, an Israel-based provider of a compute management platform, and Apple’s iPadOS to assess compliance with the bloc’s Digital Markets Act. GPU supplier NVIDIA announced its plans to buy Run:ai in April, which it said was “to help customers make more efficient use of their AI computing resources.” Run:ai’s platform dynamically allocates GPU resources, whether on-premises, in public clouds, or at the edge, allowing companies to get the most out of their hardware and reduce operational costs. The two companies have been working together since about 2020. The deal…

How to Implement AI LLMs at the Edge | TechRepublic

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

With artificial intelligence requiring so much power and its usage growing so sharply, it is becoming clear that some AI functions need to be moved from the data center to be done instead at the edge of the network. Drew Robb, writing for TechRepublic Premium, explains why many workloads need to move outward, what AI at the edge is, the benefits, the challenges, and how it can be accomplished. Featured text from the download: WHY EDGE AI? There are many reasons why AI needs to achieve some level of decentralization: Power: AI consumes more power than can easily be fed…
