Whose Doing What?
AI AGAINST HUMAN FIGHTER PILOT – “The Pentagon’s secretive technology development agency has for the first time pitted an artificial intelligence (AI) agent against a human fighter pilot in air combat drills. With a modified Lockheed Martin F-16D known as the X-62A VISTA.”
Meta AI, Built With Llama 3 – “Built with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world’s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free. And it’s starting to go global with more features. You can use Meta AI on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger”
Meta Next Generation Infrastructure for AI – “MTIA has been deployed in our data centers and is now serving models in production. We are already seeing the positive results of this program as it’s allowing us to dedicate and invest in more compute power for our more intensive AI workloads.“
AI traces mysterious metastatic cancers to their source – “To treat metastatic cancers, doctors need to know where they came from. The origin of up to 5% of all tumours cannot be identified, and the prognosis for people whose primary cancer remains unknown is poor.”
And Then There is the Climate, Environment, ECOSYSTEM:
Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is ‘transforming’ from repeated coral bleaching – The Reef Snapshot said three-quarters of the entire reef is showing signs of bleaching and nearly 40 percent is showing high or extreme bleaching.
Cisco Reimagines Security for Data Centers and Clouds in Era of AI – “AI has the potential to empower the world’s 8 billion people to have the same impact as 80 billion. With this abundance, we must reimagine the role of the data center – how data centers are connected, secured, operated and scaled,” said Jeetu Patel, Executive Vice President and General Manager for Security and Collaboration at Cisco.“
The US must balance climate justice challenges in the era of artificial intelligence – “to effectively address these harms and lay a strong foundation for climate and environmental justice, policymakers must acknowledge and confront the growing environmental impacts of an emerging technology: artificial intelligence (AI).”
The complex environmental toll of artificial intelligence – “Artificial intelligence technology has been advancing quickly, and demand is growing across the world. With this shift, the need for electricity is also growing at a potentially unsustainable rate.”
Elon Musk: AI will run out of electricity and transformers in 2025 – “I’ve never seen any technology advance faster than this.” The chip shortage may be behind us, but AI and EVs are expanding at such a rapacious rate that the world will face supply crunches in electricity and transformers next year, says Elon Musk.”
