Golden Opportunity: Why McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) Shines Amid Surging Demand for Critical Minerals

Gold has been surging in popularity and value. Just this year, the precious metal has increased by approximately 28%, reaching a peak of more than $2,680 per ounce. In addition to Federal Reserve rate cuts and central bank purchases across emerging markets, the prospect of new financial sanctions imposed by the U.S. and growing concerns about the national debt could provide additional momentum for gold as many analysts forecast prices will continue to set new all-time highs. In the current market landscape, gold stands out as a strategic hedge against both geopolitical and financial risks, making it an attractive option…

Nobel Prizes Awarded to AI in Physics, Chemistry Spark Debate

Last week saw artificial intelligence (AI) receive Nobel prizes in chemistry and physics. This is new, considering it’s the first time artificial intelligence has been recognized in this particular setting. Normally, Nobel prizes are awarded for research conducted over a lengthy period and after influence is evaluated to ensure the recipient has the greatest benefit to humankind. John Hopfield, a physicist, and Professor Geoffrey Hinton, who is regarded as the godfather of artificial intelligence, were awarded the Nobel prize in physics. Their work, which started in the 1980s, focused on inventing artificial neural networks based on physics concepts. This later…

AI Helps Researchers Uncover Gender-Based Variations During Glioblastoma Prognosis

Prior studies have determined that men are more likely to develop glioblastoma in comparison to women. These studies have also shown these tumors are usually more aggressive in males as compared to women. Now scientists are using artificial intelligence (AI) to uncover risk factors that may help clinicians predict which tumors might grow more quickly and the differences between the sexes. For their study, the researchers examined digital images of tumor samples, searching for patterns that could help predict how quickly a tumor could grow and, in turn, how long a patient could survive with the illness. The outcome dictates…

Gartner Report Indicates 8-in-10 Developers Need to Upskill Amid AI Surge

In the coming years, developers may require additional skills as the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) grows. Gartner, an American technological research and consulting company, recently conducted a survey, which found that about 80% of developers will need to upskill by 2027. The report surveyed 300 organizations in the United Kingdom and the United States in late 2023. It found that in 2024, 56% of developers with skills in machine learning and artificial intelligence were the most in-demand roles. The survey also found that the biggest skills gap these organizations faced was in applying artificial intelligence/machine learning for applications.…

Airlines To Use AI to Reduce Passenger Wait Times

Gate allocation, which may seem easy, is an unexpectedly complicated task. Dr. Joseph Doetsch, Lufthansa Industry Solutions’ Quantum computing lead, reveals that with 10 airplanes and 15 gates, there exist more than 570 billion possibilities. This makes it harder to pick the best gate for every flight, which in turn decreases congestion and amount of fuel needed as well as shortens aircraft taxi times. This is what reduces the amount of time travelers spend on the tarmac. Normally, gates are assigned when flight schedules are published, which is almost 12 months ahead. The assignments are then reviewed one month in…

Governor Newsom Vetoes Groundbreaking AI Law in California

Governor Gavin Newsom has rejected an artificial intelligence (“AI”) safety measure that would have imposed regulations on AI in California. This is a welcome decision for many, particularly major tech companies that had opposed its passage strongly. Newsom explained that the measure could cause AI developers to move out of California while also stifling innovation. The measure’s author, Senator Scott Wiener, argued that the veto permitted companies to carry on with the development of powerful tech with no government oversight. He explained that the decision also left AI companies with no binding restrictions from policymakers in the country. The legislation…

UK Police Start Testing AI Tool Capable of Collapsing Time During Detective Work

A recently developed artificial intelligence (AI) tool may help law enforcement carry out decades of detective work in hours. The tool, called the Soze tool, was developed in Australia. It has been designed to review financial transactions, video footage, emails, social media and other documents all at the same time. One assessment demonstrated that this tool was able to analyze evidential material in 27 complex cases in 30 hours. In comparison, this same work could take a human more than eight decades to complete. Somerset and Avon police in the United Kingdom (UK) have been testing the technology, with hopes…
