Robotic automation, AI will speed up scientific progress in science laboratories
Science laboratories across disciplines--chemistry, biochemistry and materials science--are on the verge of a sweeping transformation as robotic automation and AI lead to faster and more precise experiments that unlock breakthroughs in fields like health, energy and electronics.
Adapting GenAI for the next generation of learning
A new study by learning analytics researchers presents key considerations for generative AI (GenAI) educational tools so they are carefully developed to support, rather than replace, human learning.
A multi-level breakthrough in optical computing
Until now, researchers have been limited in developing photonic memory for AI processing -- gaining one important attribute like speed while sacrificing another like energy usage. An international team demonstrates a unique solution that addresses current limitations of optical memory that have yet to combine non-volatility, multibit storage, high switching speed, low switching energy, and high endurance in a single platform.
A 'chemical ChatGPT' for new medications
Researchers have trained an AI process to predict potential active ingredients with special properties. Therefore, they derived a chemical language model -- a kind of ChatGPT for molecules. Following a training phase, the AI was able to exactly reproduce the chemical structures of compounds with known dual-target activity that may be particularly effective medications.
BDO: Public Boards Seek a Fine Balance Between Innovation and Risk
Driving growth and investing in emerging technologies — while practicing caution — are strategic priorities for boards in the year ahead, according to the advisory firm’s 2024 survey.
VCs love using the AI meeting notepad Granola, so they gave it $20M
Granola’s notepad app has become a popular tool among venture capitalists who use it to record meetings and augment notes using AI technology. That made it easier for the startup to raise funds from a crowd of investors for its $20 million Series A — something the team managed to do in about a week. […] © 2024 TechCrunch.

AI Bias: Accenture, SAP Leaders on Diversity Problems and Solutions
Generative AI models risk perpetuating bias due to training data, largely influenced by English and North American perspectives, experts warn APAC organisations.
AI and Platform Engineering Are Transforming DevOps, Finds Google’s DORA Report
Google’s DORA survey found 39.2% respondents don’t trust AI, but 81% of their organizations have adopted it. Platform engineering is shaping how developers work today, too.
Making it easier to verify an AI model's responses
A new system helps human fact-checkers validate the responses generated by a large language model. By speeding validation time by 20 percent, the system could improve manual verification and help users spot errors in AI models deployed in real-world situations.
Soft microelectronics technologies enabling wearable AI for digital health
Developing edge-computing and AI capabilities from wearable sensors enhances their intelligence, critical for the AI of Things, and reduces power consumption by minimizing data exchange between sensory terminals and computing units. This enables wearable devices to process data locally, offering real-time processing, faster feedback, and decreased reliance on network connectivity and external devices, thereby enhancing efficiency, privacy, and responsiveness in applications like health monitoring, activity tracking, and smart wearable technology.
Wearable cameras allow AI to detect medication errors
A team of researchers says it has developed the first wearable camera system that, with the help of artificial intelligence, detects potential errors in medication delivery. In a test, the video system recognized and identified, with high proficiency, which medications were being drawn in busy clinical settings. The AI achieved 99.6% sensitivity and 98.8% specificity at detecting vial-swap errors. The system could become a critical safeguard, especially in operating rooms, intensive-care units and emergency-medicine settings.
How Enterprise IT Can Achieve Water Sustainability Despite the Demands of AI
Most of the discussion about data center sustainability is focused on the type of power and how much of it is consumed. But excessive water usage is becoming an increasingly important and controversial aspect of data center operations. Many data centers use a lot of water in cooling and humidification. Hyperscalers, in particular, are under ...

Showing AI users diversity in training data boosts perceived fairness and trust
While artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as home assistants, search engines or large language models like ChatGPT, may seem nearly omniscient, their outputs are only as good as the data on which they are trained. However, ease of use often leads users to adopt AI systems without understanding what training data was used or who prepared the data, including potential biases in the data or held by trainers. A new study suggests that making this information available could shape appropriate expectations of AI systems and further help users make more informed decisions about whether and how to use these systems.
Can Security Experts Leverage Generative AI Without Prompt Engineering Skills?
A study at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute presented at ISC2 Security Congress compared ChatGPT-written training prompted by security experts and prompt engineers.
