In an effort to automate scientific discovery using artificial intelligence (AI), researchers have created a virtual laboratory that combines several ‘AI scientists’ — large language models with defined scientific roles — that can collaborate to achieve goals set by human researchers.

GenCast…relies on AI methods alone. It works sort of like ChatGPT, but instead of predicting the next most likely word in a sentence, it produces the next most likely weather condition. In training, it starts with random parameters, or weights, and compares that prediction with real weather data. Over the course of training, GenCast’s parameters begin to align with the actual weather…In its predictions, it was more accurate than the current best forecas…97% of the time,

Teams that were randomly assigned to use the tool discovered 44% more new materials and filed 39% more patent applications than did the ones that stuck to their standard workflow

The AI-generated scenes…are rendered live in the browser and have a controllable camera with an adjustable simulated depth of field (DoF).

Researchers have developed a revolutionary method to produce entangled photon pairs using much thinner materials, drastically reducing the size of quantum computing components.

We generate Foley sounds for silent videos withvarious control signals to shape their audio. (a) Text prompts, both positive and negative, guide synchronized Foley generation. (b) Referenceaudio from sound libraries defines the customized audio style. (c) A partial audio track is extended to produce a complete Foley sound.

Indigenous languages are rapidly disappearing, and AI could help preserve them, according to Indigenous technologists.

The wearable robot is estimated to reduce shoulder load by up to 60% and reduce muscle strain in the anterior/lateral deltoid by 30%.

These advances have the potential to allow augmented dexterity to make surgery safer, faster, and more reliable for patients worldwide.

Traditional voice banking is an arduous process…Past models also suffered from a clear lack of emotional expressiveness…but AI has changed all that. Now, limited audio samples, even of poor quality, can generate a compelling, on-demand AI voice.
