Now researchers have unleashed artificial intelligence (AI) on these datasets to analyze temperature extremes in Europe, finding excellent agreement compared to existing results that used traditional methods, and as well have uncovered climate extremes not previously known.
…sort through thousands of cranberry varieties, or cultivars, to find those with the best combination of heat-resistance and quality — taking into account traits like taste, coloring, fruit yield and the ability to withstand disease — before they can try selectively breeding new varieties using the most desirable traits…Scientific endeavors like this one often take years to perfect. With temperatures continuing to rise each year, that means time is of the essence. Using AI to offload some of the most laborious work represents “a huge time savings…
Like human experts, when LLMs indicated high confidence in their predictions, their responses were more likely to be correct, which presages a future where LLMs assist humans in making discoveries.
Innovative tech detects driver fatigue and signals them to take a break.
...used AI tools to help us find small gene-editing proteins that had been sitting undiscovered in public genome databases...developed a way to ... predict new functional RNA molecules that have greater heat tolerance compared to natural sequences.
South Korea has more than double the robot density of every other country ranked in the report, apart from Singapore, which has 770 robots per 10,000 employees.
A future generation of robots will not be programmed to complete specific tasks. Instead, they will use A.I. to teach themselves.
Singapore is deploying more self-driving buses, freight vehicles, and street sweepers…Autonomous vehicles are a way to address labor shortages and use scarce land more efficiently.
A small study found ChatGPT outdid human physicians when assessing medical case histories, even when those doctors were using a chatbot...The chatbot, from the company OpenAI, scored an average of 90 percent when diagnosing a medical condition from a case report and explaining its reasoning. Doctors randomly assigned to use the chatbot got an average score of 76 percent. Those randomly assigned not to use it had an average score of 74 percent.
Generative AI may transform video game design, but the first playable title is just bizarre and fascinating.
