OpenAI Starts Testing SearchGPT, the Latest AI Innovation

OpenAI recently announced that it had begun tests on its new search engine, which uses generative artificial intelligence (AI) to produce results. The American artificial intelligence research organization was behind the launch of ChatGPT, the now famous chatbot and virtual assistant launched about two years ago. The company revealed last week that SearchGPT would be rolled out to a small group of publishers and users before being launched to a wider market. The company plans to incorporate the search features into its chatbot, instead of launching a standalone product. In its statement, OpenAI explained that its search engine was a…

How AI Can Facilitate the Energy Transition Without Standing in the Way

According to ChatGPT, the energy consumed by artificial-intelligence (AI) systems varies depending on their usage and complexity. Generally, these systems need huge amounts of electricity to efficiently process and analyze data. Estimates show that for this response generated by the chatbot, almost 10 times the electricity a Google search needs was used. With 100 million ChatGPT users weekly, the extra demand for energy has increased greatly. Keep in mind that this applies to users on this platform alone. The increased demand for energy in this industry, primarily driven by the construction and running of data centers that operate and train…

AI Approach Accelerates Speed of Predicting the Thermal Properties of Materials

Estimates show that roughly 70% of energy generated around the globe is wasted. Experts believe that more efficient systems to generate power could be designed if researchers were able to forecast how heat passes through insulators and semiconductors. This is hard to do at the moment, however, because it is challenging to model the thermal properties of different materials. The issue stems from subatomic particles that carry heat, known as phonons. A group of MIT researchers have designed a new framework based on machine-learning, which can forecast phonon dispersion relation about 1,000 times faster than other methods based on artificial…

Despite Developers Pushing for AI to Give Medical Advice, Accuracy Remains Questionable

This past spring, Google rolled out a feature that enabled answers from its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot to begin appearing above normal search results, even for questions related to health issues. While this might seem like a good idea on paper, some concerns have been raised about the health advice provided by this AI overview feature. About a week after the bot’s launch, a quick search saw Google AI recommend that individuals eat at least a small rock daily for minerals and vitamins. It was later determined that this answer was retrieved from a satirical post. Another user revealed that…

AI Boom Expected to Swell Orders Received by ASML

ASML, the leading equipment supplier of lithography machines needed for the manufacture of semiconductors, is set to record a significant increase in its orders after its second-quarter results are announced. This comes as the demand for artificial intelligence (AI) chips continues to increase. Lithography machines are tools that use lasers to create the circuitry of computer chips. ASML is the only manufacturer of lithography systems using extreme ultraviolet wavelengths to manufacture chips for artificial intelligence and smartphones. Kevin Wang, a Mihuzo analyst, expects that ASML’s new orders will be valued at close to five billion euros ($5.5 billion) in the…
