Doubt is creeping into discussion over generative AI, as industry analysts begin to publicly question whether the huge investments in GenAI will ever pay off. The lack of a “killer app” besides coding co-pilots and chatbots is the most pressing concern, critics in a Goldman Sachs Research letter say, while data availability, chip shortages, and […]

Md Murad Hossain Khondaker and Mostafa Momen recently published their study titled Improving hurricane intensity and streamflow forecasts in coupled hydro-meteorological simulations by analyzing precipitation and boundary layer schemes in the American Meteorological Society’s Journal of Hydrometeorology about hurricanes and how the use of supercomputers can help accurately predict potential hurricane-induced damage. The post ACCESS: Enhancing Hurricane […]

The general consensus that AI would “change everything” is proving to be correct when it comes to infrastructure impacts. The new imperative is to raise and maintain operational standards to avoid inevitable outages caused by adding AI to existing infrastructure. Already key elements are straining to keep pace. It’s hard to tell which new AI […]

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China said they have developed a soft robotic “finger” with a sense of touch that can perform routine doctor office examinations, including taking a patient’s pulse and checking for abnormal lumps. The post Researchers create robotic finger that could perform medical examinations appeared first on The […]

Sales of professional service robots have increased by 30% worldwide, according to the International Federation of Robotics, or IFR. The Frankfurt, Germany-based organization said that its statistics department registered more than 205,000 units in 2023. The post Service robot sales climb by 30% worldwide, reports the IFR appeared first on The Robot Report.

A Google-led team of researchers have presented more evidence that it’s possible to run productive circuits on today’s near-term intermediate scale quantum devices that are beyond the reach of classical computing. The post Google Reports Progress on Quantum Devices beyond Supercomputer Capability appeared first on HPCwire.

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University and Vanderbilt University are pioneering a new approach to prostate cancer surgery by combining advanced robotics and “low-field” MRI technology. The post Researchers combine robotics, MRI tech for new approach to prostate cancer surgery appeared first on The Robot Report.

Harnessing the power artificial intelligence (AI) and the world’s fastest supercomputers, a research team led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has developed an innovative computing framework to speed up the design of new proteins. The post Argonne Team Breaks New Ground in AI-driven Protein Design appeared first on HPCwire.

Robot Utility Models, or RUM for short, are a new area of research and development for the advancement of AI training for robotics. RUM was created by Lerrel Pinto, an assistant professor of computer science, and a team at at New York University. This open-source research project is attempting to generalize training for robots when […]

There’s been a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) about the potential for generative AI to take people’s jobs. The capability of large language models (LLMs) to answer questions and handle digital tasks when prompted has caught people’s attention, for better and for worse. But what are the odds that LLMs actually will replace […]
