Back in 1993, three engineers met at a Denny’s in San Jose with a vision to revolutionize computer graphics for video games. Little did Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem know that this casual conversation would lead to the birth of Nvidia. Fast forward to today, and Nvidia stands as a tech giant with

Kaspersky, a cybersecurity firm based in Moscow, has recently come under fire after the U.S. Commerce Department banned the use of its software in the United States. The company’s CEO, Eugene Kaspersky, who is Russian, has vehemently denied that his company poses any security threat to the United States. In a statement, Kaspersky refuted the

Ilya Sutskever, the former key figure behind ChatGPT and one of the co-founders of OpenAI, recently announced the creation of Safe Superintelligence Inc., alongside his two co-founders. This new venture is exclusively dedicated to the safe development of “superintelligence,” which refers to artificial intelligence systems that surpass human capabilities. Sutskever emphasized that the company’s primary

In a groundbreaking development, researchers have introduced a novel approach to address the challenge of enhancing the capacity of sodium-ion batteries. This innovative technique, featured in Applied Physics Reviews, was a collaborative effort spearheaded by Professor Oleg Kolosov from Lancaster University and Professor Zhigao Huang from Fujian Normal University. According to Professor Kolosov, nanoscale investigations

Ethylene, a highly flammable compound used in various industries, has traditionally been produced through energy-intensive processes that result in significant carbon emissions. However, recent research has introduced a novel approach to ethylene production using solar-powered photocatalytic dehydrogenation of ethane. This groundbreaking method has the potential to revolutionize the way ethylene is manufactured on a large

The story of Bae Jin-soo serves as a prime example of the incredible transformation and success that is possible within South Korea’s webtoon industry. Despite being kicked out of his home by his own parents when he quit his corporate job to pursue a career in writing, Bae’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable.

Robotic learning has seen significant advancements in recent years, with researchers constantly exploring new methods to enhance robots’ ability to learn and adapt to new tasks. One such groundbreaking approach was introduced by researchers at Imperial College London and the Dyson Robot Learning Lab in the form of the Render and Diffuse (R&D) method. This

President Aleksandar Vucic recently announced that Serbia could potentially begin exploiting lithium reserves as early as 2028. This statement comes after receiving new assurances from both Australian mining giant Rio Tinto and the European Union regarding the controversial mining project in Jadar, western Serbia. The region is said to hold one of Europe’s largest lithium

Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the way we interact with conversational platforms like ChatGPT. The groundbreaking GPT-4 model has managed to astound users with its ability to not only comprehend written prompts but also generate responses in various languages. This leads to the burning question: are these AI-generated texts and answers so realistic that

In a shocking turn of events, Tesla shareholders recently voted in favor of reinstating Elon Musk’s staggering 10-year compensation plan, which the company initially valued at $44.9 billion back in April. This mind-blowing sum far exceeds the median CEO pay in the U.S., underscoring the enormous wealth disparity between corporate executives and the average worker.

Generative AI marks a significant departure from “traditional” AI by creating novel content such as text, video, images, and music, as opposed to relying on predetermined rules and patterns. This ability allows generative AI to think outside the box and potentially reshape various sectors of society. While discussions around AI often focus on whether it

The realm of artificial intelligence (AI) has seen significant progress in recent years, particularly in the development of large computational models for natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision algorithms. The driving force behind this progress has been the exponential growth of datasets used to train these algorithms, with hundreds of thousands of images and

Meta, the social media giant, has decided to halt its plans to utilize personal data for the training of its artificial intelligence technology in Europe. This decision came after facing privacy complaints from a Vienna-based privacy campaign group in 11 European countries. The complaints were centered around Meta’s proposed privacy policy change, which was deemed

The recent lawsuit filed by two long-time Apple employees has shed light on the alleged systematic gender pay gap within the tech giant. Justina Jong, a training instructor, discovered that she was being paid almost $10,000 less than a male colleague who held the same position as her. This revelation was found on a W-2

Artificial intelligence programs have reached a new milestone with the development of a groundbreaking technique known as Multi-View Attentive Contextualization (MvACon). This technique allows AI programs, specifically vision transformers used in autonomous vehicles, to effectively map three-dimensional spaces using data collected from two-dimensional images captured by multiple cameras. The research, led by Tianfu Wu, an
