When Joe Biden was asked in August 2020 whether he had taken a cognitive test, the 77-year-old presidential candidate interrupted a reporter and snapped, “Why the hell would I take a test?”Since winning the White House, Biden has continued to dismiss the need for a cognitive exam, and aides have said he has never taken one as president — not in three annual physical exams, and not in the week since a halting debate performance raised more urgent questions about the now-81-year-old’s mental acuity.That decision has been overseen by a key figure largely unknown to the public: Kevin O’Connor, the…

Artificial intelligence could one day get out of control. At least that’s what many doomsayers think about artificial intelligence. While some worry about the dangers that artificial intelligence poses to humanity, others will undoubtedly be excited about a new advancement: artificial intelligence that can read minds.AI that can read your mind is complete nonsense, right? Pure science fiction! Well, not exactly. According to a new study by a team of researchers, a new AI could be able to recreate the things you think about, and with surprising accuracy. Mind-reading AI doesn’t actually read your mind in the moment. Instead, it…

Aidan Gomez was an intern at Google Brain in 2017, when he helped co-author the paper “Attention Is All You Need” that conceptualized the transformer and ultimately kicked off the rise of generative artificial intelligence.“At the time, no one in the field could have predicted where we were in terms of technological capabilities,” Gomez told CNBC in a recent interview. “The models are doing things that I personally thought I would see at the end of my career, maybe 40 years from now.” Gomez, who was a computer science student at the University of Toronto at the time of his…

Reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian won Iran’s runoff presidential election Saturday, besting hard-liner Saeed Jalili by promising to reach out to the West and ease enforcement on the country’s mandatory headscarf law after years of sanctions and protests squeezing the Islamic Republic.Pezeshkian promised no radical changes to Iran’s Shiite theocracy in his campaign and long has held Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the final arbiter of all matters of state in the country. But even Pezeshkian’s modest aims will be challenged by an Iranian government still largely held by hard-liners, the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, and Western…

Elon Musk’s Tesla Gigafactory in Texas is expanding to accommodate a cluster of AI supercomputers, and Supermicro’s CEO is a big fan of the cooling solution.

This item is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch Series in partnership with IEEE Xplore.Programmers have spent decades writing code for AI models, and now, in a full circle, AI is being used to write code. But how does an AI code generator compare to a human programmer?A study published in the June issue of IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering evaluated the code produced by OpenAI’s ChatGPT in terms of functionality, complexity, and security. The results show that ChatGPT has a very wide range of success when it comes to producing functional code—with a success rate ranging from 0.66%…

As investors look to the future to imagine which industries are ripe for reshaping and powering AI, drug discovery is quickly emerging as an obvious choice. Every new drug that hits the market is the product of billions of dollars of investment, often taking at least a decade to get there. The path to commercialization tends to be littered with costly trial and error in screening and selecting drug candidates. Only then can a compound undergo the rigorous, years-long process of clinical trials, where vast amounts of data are generated, processed and reviewed—all with no guarantee of success. Now, many…
