How Anthropic is unraveling the mysteries of neural networks
Neural networks (NNs) support all sorts of functions, from Tesla's Autopilot controls to medical diagnoses and personalized advertisements. Like the human brain on which they are based, the precise workings of an NN are notoriously difficult to track. Research by Anthropic is making a better unders... Read more
‘Godfather of AI’ leaves Google and warns of dangers
Dr Geoffrey Hinton is leaving Google. The neural networks pioneer is stepping down partly because he wants to freely express his views on the dangers of AI without limit. Hinton considers the emanation of true digital intelligence an "existential risk" to society.
Hinton says he partially regret... Read more
Google uses Pathways to develop AI that learns millions of tasks
Google Pathways is a new, next-generation AI technology that allows neural networks to perform up to millions of tasks.
Current AI models are often trained to perform a single task. With the development of Pathways, the tech giant aims to take a step towards hyperintelligent AI models that can p... Read more

AI chip startup Tenstorrent will use SiFive’s RISC-V cores
Tenstorrent, a start-up led by several former high-level AMD employees, has entered into a partnership with SiFive. The start-up wants to incorporate the design of the company's Intelligence X280 processor into its own chips for AI applications.
SiFive's X280 cores are based on the RISC-V archit... Read more
OpenAI lets AI generate new images
OpenAI has developed two new neural networks. The first model is capable of generating new content based on a description and the second excels in recognizing images.
In a blog post, OpenAI describes the possibilities of DALL·E and Clip and shows examples.
DALL·E
DALL·E is based on the ... Read more
Salesforce wants to provide AI with ‘common sense
The Salesforce research team has written a paper, in which it describes how artificial intelligence (AI) can be provided with 'common sense', writes Silicon Angle. In this way, AI models not only have to answer questions correctly, but also explain why those answers are the best.
A major problem th... Read more
Nvidia develops way to transform video images into virtual environments
Nvidia is developing a new way to make virtual environments much more realistic. The company has built a technique that makes it possible to transform video images into a virtual environment. Games and virtual reality can therefore be a lot more realistic in the future.
Nvidia uses its proprietary s... Read more
