UC San Diego: Researchers Explore Neuromorphic AI’s Path to Efficiency and Scale
Neuromorphic computing—a field that applies principles of neuroscience to computing systems to mimic the brain’s function and structure—needs to scale up if it is to effectively compete with current computing methods. In a review published Jan. 22 in the journal...
The Coming Catastrophic Failure Of AI In Business
Typically, this time of year we look to the future and the future of AI isn’t very bright for people. I participated in a podcast on this topic earlier this month. OpenAI has released their template for AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) and while this makes it...
10 technologies to avoid when building a robot
Developing a successful robot requires careful selection of technologies. Poor choices can lead to costly setbacks, reliability issues, or future-proofing problems. Drawing from the extensive experience of our work at OLogic, which specializes in robotics and consumer...
AI Lessons Learned from DeepSeek’s Meteoric Rise
Since ChatGPT set off the GenAI Gold Rush, model developers have been in a race to build bigger and more expensive models that could handle an ever-wider range of tasks. That necessitated bigger clusters loaded with more GPUs training on more data. Size definitely...
