In a unique artificial intelligence confrontation game, a cryptocurrency user successfully persuaded Freysa, an autonomous AI robot, to transfer a prize pool worth over $47,000 to him. Freysa is an AI agent responsible for guarding the prize pool, and the game rules require participants to persuade Freysa to transfer funds by sending messages. Each message incurs a fee, with a portion added to the prize pool, ultimately accumulating to $47,000. Despite all participants failing in the first 481 attempts, this user...

In the vast starry sky of technological innovation, there exists a courageous group of explorers. They have not only won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for predicting protein structures using artificial intelligence but have also redefined our understanding of complex molecular computation in the realm of quantum computing. Researchers from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) are like "magicians" of the quantum world, using a revolutionary approach to completely overturn the limitations of traditional quantum computing. Their secret weapon? A high-dimensional quantum information unit known as "qudit." Source of the image: Image generated by AI.

33-year-old Japanese writer Rie Kudan utilized ChatGPT to create her novel, winning Japan's prestigious literary award, the Akutagawa Prize. The novel 'Tokyo-to Dojo-to / Tokyo Sympathy Tower,' set in a futuristic Tokyo and centered around AI, was officially published on January 17. Judges unanimously described the novel as 'almost flawless,' sparking controversy in the literary world regarding AI's role in creative fields. In her acceptance speech, Kudan stated that ChatGPT helped her unleash her potential.

["33-year-old Japanese Literature Prize winner Rie Kudan confessed at the award ceremony that approximately 5% of her novel 'Tokyo-to Dojo-to' was generated using ChatGPT.","ChatGPT not only helped her realize her creative potential but also became a source of inspiration and a mental support, sparking ideas for dialogues in the novel.","Unlike some artists who worry about AI plagiarism, Kudan views AI as a complement to human abilities and hopes to maintain a 'good relationship' with AI in the future to jointly develop creativity."]

Nobel laureate Christopher Pissarides warns the younger generation that AI may replace job opportunities in STEM fields. Pissarides believes that empathy and creative skills will become increasingly important in a future where AI automates more analytical tasks. While there is high demand for STEM graduates, traditional personal skills are less likely to be replaced by technology in industries such as hospitality and healthcare. Various predictions suggest that AI will impact the job market, but humanities skills will still dominate in areas such as communication, customer service, and healthcare.

Eleven Pulitzer Prize winners have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft in federal court in Manhattan, accusing them of misusing their works to train large models like ChatGPT. The lawsuit seeks monetary compensation and an injunction to stop the infringement, continuing from previous legal actions, with Microsoft being named as a defendant for the first time. The era of AI large models has raised copyright issues, with ten infringement cases already accepted by the Northern District of California since November. The traditional copyright model is becoming ineffective in the AI era, as training large models involves numerous works with complex ownership, and solutions are still under discussion.

The AI system Coscientist successfully reproduced the 2010 Nobel Prize research in 6 minutes using GPT-4 and internet tools. Coscientist can autonomously design and conduct chemical experiments to improve the reproducibility of results. AI can significantly enhance research speed and change traditional research models. AI research assistants can compensate for the shortage of human resources and work around the clock. The future of AI experiments is promising and is expected to lead to more breakthroughs in research.

XTX Markets has launched the AI-MO competition aimed at enhancing the mathematical reasoning capabilities of large language models. The AI Olympic Mathematics Prize, supported by Terence Tao, offers a staggering total of $50 million. The AI-MO competition requires participating AI models to demonstrate human-like mathematical problem-solving formats and the ability to generate readable answers. Gold medal-level AIs will be awarded the $50 million prize, drawing widespread attention from the industry. The competition rules are still under discussion, with final results to be announced in July next year in the UK.

The first CPAL Academic Conference awarded the Rising Star Prize, exploring minimal learning and the frontier of AI. Sixteen scholars received the Rising Star Prize, encouraging PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, junior faculty, and industry researchers. The research topics included optimization problems, graph neural networks, gradient noise attraction, heuristic methods in machine learning, and high-dimensional data analysis. CPAL aims to explore the application of minimal, low-dimensional structures in emerging fields such as smart hardware and interdisciplinary sciences. The academic conference provided a platform for researchers in the fields of science and engineering to exchange ideas and collaborate.

Prince Hamdan of Dubai has announced the launch of a global AI challenge with a grand prize of 1 million dirhams. This competition focuses on generative artificial intelligence and aims to establish Dubai as a leading global center for AI innovation. The challenge will take place in May next year at the Museum of the Future in Dubai.

Hackers have the opportunity to use artificial intelligence to protect critical U.S. infrastructure from cybersecurity risks. The cyber challenge will offer nearly $20 million in prizes and involves collaboration with leading AI companies. Participants will be required to open-source their systems so that their solutions can be widely utilized.
