We built a human-skin printer from Lego and we want every lab to use our blueprint
If ChatGPT wrote it, who owns the copyright? It depends on where you live, but in Australia it’s complicated
ChatGPT and other generative AI tools which draw on large language models (LLMs) are a hot topic. Released in November 2022 by OpenAI, ChatGPT is a chatbot – it generates text output refined through user prompts. What makes it special is just how sophisticated and impressive that output is. The stratospheric rise of generative AI tools has […] … learn more→
This is not a deepfake , but a hand with a robotic sixth finger. Yoichi Miyawaki Laboratory , Provided by the author Will you take a sixth finger?
Have you spotted what distinguishes this hand from the ones you usually see? Count the number of fingers… The hand wears a robotic “artificial sixth finger” that we developed with our collaborator , Professor Yoichi Miyawaki of Tokyo University of Electro-communication in Japan. Users can control this sixth finger independently of their other fingers. Indeed, we can isolate, with […] … learn more→
How will AI change the web development in the future?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a buzzword in recent times. It is being leveraged by various industries to enhance their efficiency and productivity. The global market size of AI was USD 119.78 billion in the year 2022. It is expected to reach USD 1,591.03 billion by 2030. That shows the growing demand for artificial intelligence. As […] … learn more→

ChatGPT, and other generative AI chatbots like it, are trained on […] … learn more→
Calls to regulate AI are growing louder. But how exactly do you regulate a technology like this?
Last week, artificial intelligence pioneers and experts urged major AI labs to immediately pause the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4 for at least six months. An open letter penned by the Future of Life Institute cautioned that AI systems with “human-competitive intelligence” could become a major threat to humanity. Among the risks, the possibility of AI […] … learn more→
