OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever recently stated that artificial intelligence researchers must find new ways to scale machine intelligence to overcome current limitations. Sutskever delivered a talk at the 2024 Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) conference in Vancouver, Canada, where he suggested that the era of AI pre-training is nearing its end and predicted the emergence of superintelligent AI. Sutskever believes that through better hardware, software, and machine...
The safety risks associated with lithium battery fires are often a cause for concern. To address this, scientists have proposed a method to provide early warnings of battery fires using sound. The study discovered that lithium-ion batteries undergo a series of chemical reactions before catching fire, leading to a gradual increase in internal pressure and ultimately causing the battery to swell. Due to the hard casing of the batteries, which cannot accommodate this swelling, the safety valve inside the battery bursts when the pressure becomes too high, creating a distinct sound.
AvePoint, a global leader in data management and governance solutions (NASDAQ: AVPT), announced today the official establishment of an AI lab with the support of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB). This strategic move will significantly advance innovative research in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning, further enhancing the AI capabilities of the AvePoint Confidence platform. The newly established AI lab will serve as a globally influential R&D center. Over the next three years, the lab plans to recruit more than
This week, MIT showcased a new model for training robots, aimed at addressing the challenges faced by imitation learning when introduced to small obstacles. Researchers pointed out that imitation learning can fail in conditions such as varying lighting, different environments, or new obstacles because robots simply do not have enough data to adapt. The team sought powerful data methods, like those used in models such as GPT-4, to tackle the problem. They introduced a new architecture called the Heterogeneous Pretrained Transformer (HPT), which aggregates information from different sensors and environments.
