No Generalization without Understanding and Explanation
LLMs, at least in their generative capabilities, will never be able to perform high-level reasoning like what's needed in deep language understanding, problem solving, and planning.
Intense competition among organizations has made open-sourcing LLMs an attractive strategy that's leveled the competitive field.
Nobel Laureates Consider the State of Quantum Computing
Most experts are reluctant to predict when a large-scale quantum computer will be commercialized.
Technical Marvels, Part 6: Musical Automatons
Music automatons range from singing birds and music boxes to barrel organs and self-playing pianos.
A “mugshot to mugshot” comparison of two images of a face is essentially a solved problem thanks to neural networks, experts say.
Fort Knox Your Data: A Guide to Access Controls
Regular audits and continuous monitoring are critical for identifying and addressing potential security vulnerabilities.
Non-Volatile Memory Technology Poised for Game-Changing Breakthrough
The advantages of phase-chain memory superlattices are clear and demonstrably outweigh potential crosstalk concerns.
The Promises and Possibilities of Scenarios We Can Create
The way we ask a generative AI chatbot a question affects the way it is answered.
The resilience of Internet applications is reduced by making assumptions about connectivity that do not always hold true.
Design and engineering teams increasingly are turning to classical and generative AI to rethink, reinvent, and remake the modern microchip.
Societal Impacts of Embodied AI
A reliance on AI systems for routine tasks and emotional support could lead to a deterioration of communal bonds and increased social isolation.
A Guide to Managed Backup and Disaster Recovery
Modern services go above and beyond the simple creation of data copies, adding managing, monitoring, and recovery of an organization’s data whenever necessary.
Alive and Well, As a Matter of Fax
