As AI continues to evolve, so does its environmental impact. A recent pre-print research paper reveals that training OpenAI's GPT-3 in Microsoft's U.S. data centers directly consumed a whopping 185,000 gallons of water, used for cooling purposes. * To put that into perspective, that's enough water to produce 320...
UCLA researchers demonstrated an artificially intelligent material that can modify its behavior and shape in response to varying conditions. The new material class, called Mechanical Neural Network (MNN), is comprised of a structural system of “independently tunable beams.” * Each beam has a “voice coil, strain gauges, and flexures” that allow...
Based in California, the Earth Species Project (ESP) believes that AI and machine learning will soon help us decipher animal communication by picking up on subtle animal cues. * According to researchers from the ESP, animal communication is more complex than human communication. The same noise in the same tonality can...
Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a new dissolvable implant that relieves pain, providing an alternative to opioids and other highly addictive medications. Shaped like a transparent rubber band, the small and flexible device can relieve pain on demand without the use of drugs. How It Works: The biocompatible and...
Doctors were astonished when a new drug called dostarlimab caused a complete remission of rectal cancer in every single patient in a new trial. Sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline, the trial was small, with only 18 patients, and needs to be replicated, but the initial results were “unheard-of.” The trial participants underwent...
OpenAI’s incredible text-to-image generator DALL-E appears to have created its own written language, according to Giannis Daras, a computer science Ph.D. student at the University of Texas at Austin. * Daras asked the algorithm to create an image of “farmers talking about vegetables,” which in turn generated an unknown...
