Those who follow the fast-growing world of artificial intelligence chips may have noticed fanfare on Monday surrounding Nvidia’s new H200 AI chip, a successor to the vaunted H100 that everyone has been trying to get their hands on this year. But Nvidia’s announcement simply may have been an attempt to steal the spotlight from its…

A new computer model to predict the weather built by Google and powered by artificial intelligence consistently outperforms and is many times faster than government models that have existed for decades and involved hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, according to a study published Tuesday. The Google model even displayed accuracy superior to the…

Can AI tell you if you will need an umbrella? SEBASTIEN BOZON/AFP via Getty Images AI can predict the weather 10 days ahead more accurately than current state-of-the-art simulations, says AI firm Google DeepMind – but meteorologists have warned against abandoning weather models based in real physical principles and just relying on patterns in data,…

This year the Earth has been hit by a record number of unpredictable extreme weather events made worse by climate change. Predicting them faster and with greater accuracy could enable us to prepare better for natural disasters and help save lives. A new AI model from Google DeepMind could make that easier.  In research published…

Computer hardware maker Nvidia is staking out a larger role in genetic research as it undergoes a transformative shift thanks to pioneering efforts in artificial intelligence (AI). Developed in a joint effort with Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago, a new Large Language Model named GenSLMs has drawn significant attention for its ability…

Source: Art: DALL-E/OpenAI Think about it. In essence, that’s the story. Today, we stand at the threshold of one such transformative period: the cognitive era. This era is distinguished not by physical resources or technological gadgets, but by something more profound and inherently human—the power of thought. Here, thought emerges as the most valuable currency,…

I wrote a paper in college on the Terminator film franchise. I got a solid A, thank you very much! I wrote about the dangers of unchecked development of artificial intelligence long before it was a “thing.” Nowadays, it seems not only possible, but likely, that AI will become as intelligent, creative, and conscious as…

YouTube has issued new guidelines for AI-enhanced videos uploaded to its platform. In a blog post, the digital video giant said the new approach will put guardrails around videos that appear realistic but rely on artificial intelligence tools. The company is also rolling out new labels to inform viewers when the video they’re seeing has…

This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. How did life begin? How life begins is one of the biggest and hardest questions in science. All we know is that something happened on Earth more than 3.5 billion years ago, and…
