DNA-Inspired AI May Help Produce Smarter Algorithms

All animals are born with inherent behavioral capabilities, arising from neural circuits that are encoded in the genome. It is common knowledge that the brain plays a crucial role as it contains numerous neural connections required to control complex behavior. However, the genome has limited capacity for all that information. For decades, scientists have wondered how the genome, with space for only some of all that information, could still encrypt information and pass it from one generation to another. Researchers now believe that the rules which encrypt the formation of circuits have to pass through a ‘genomic bottleneck’ as they’re…

MIT Team Develops Superior Technique for Training AI Models

Teaching an artificial intelligence system to make meaningful decisions is not easy. Reinforcement learning models, which support these systems, sometimes fail when faced with minor variations in tasks they’ve been trained to carry out. To improve the reliability of these models for complicated tasks, researchers at MIT have developed a better algorithm to train them. The algorithm has been designed to choose the best tasks to train an artificial intelligence agent on so it can perform every task effectively. For their technique, the researchers selected some tasks then independently trained an algorithm for every task. They chose tasks that would…

AI Boom Transforms Nearly 150-Year Old Japanese Firm into the Country’s Hottest Stock

The current boom in AI has turned a previously little-known Japanese company into a star on the stock market. Fujikura, which has been in existence for the past 139 years, has shot to fame because of its longstanding excellence in making cables for data centers. Since the beginning of this year, the shares of this company have seen a whopping 400% rise in value. Consequently, Fujikura is top of the best performing stocks on the Stock Average Index of the Nikkei 225. Because of this stellar performance, the company made its debut on the MSCI’s worldwide standard indexes. This is…

Amazon Injects an Additional $4B into Anthropic’s AI Ambitions

Last week, Anthropic AI announced that it had raised a $4 billion investment from Amazon.com. Anthropic was founded in 2021 by former executives at OpenAI, Daniela and Dario Amodei. These additional funds bring Amazon’s total investment into the artificial intelligence startup to $8 billion and highlight the company’s increasing GenAI investments. The e-commerce giant is expected to hold its position as a minority investor in Anthropic, with Amazon Web Services unit also becoming the AI firm’s official cloud provider. In its statement, Anthropic also revealed that it was working with Annapurna Labs, a wholly owned Amazon subsidiary, to develop future…

Study Finds That ChatGPT Outperforms Doctors at Medical Diagnosis

New research has determined that AI chatbots may be better at diagnoses than actual doctors. The research objective was to find out whether doctors could improve their diagnoses using ChatGPT. The research involved 50 doctors, 24 of whom were residents while the rest were attending physicians. Each physician was asked to diagnose six case histories, with the researchers grading their ability to come up with diagnoses and give reasons why they excluded them or chose them. Everyone was allowed to make three possible diagnoses while offering evidence to support their decision. They were also required to list the steps they…

AI is Helping to Ease the Job Application Process

Several companies are touting novel artificial intelligence technologies that promise to revolutionize the job-search process. This development has emerged at a time when the rate at which people are looking for new jobs has reached very high levels. For example, data reveals that at least 28% of U.S. residents were recently job-hunting. Jeff, a well-followed TikTok user, emphasized that as hiring managers incorporated more AI functions in the hiring process, applicants also need to go the extra mile in order to stand a chance of being hired. In his videos, Jeff walks viewers through the AI-backed processes. He adds that…

New AI Model Uses Graphs to Predict How Innovation Will Happen in Future

A new technique developed by mechanical and environmental engineering professor Markus J. Buehler will allow us to use artificial intelligence to predict how innovation will occur in the future. Prof. Buehler of MIT explains that by combining graph-based computational tools with generative artificial intelligence, one can generate entirely new designs, concepts, and ideas. This, he notes, can be used to speed up scientific discovery by teaching generative artificial intelligence how to make new forecasts about unimaginable designs, concepts and ideas. For his research, Buehler used graphs developed using techniques inspired by category theory to teach his model to understand associations…
