Google recently announced they have developed a unique artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputer that is faster, more efficient, and more powerful than NVIDIA systems. Nvidia is the reigning champion of AI model training and deployment, dominating over 90% of the market, according to CNBC. The great AI race has been raging on for a while now in Big Tech, and Google has been developing AI chips called Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) since 2016. "Google has chosen a unique approach to AI development by creating its own'Tensor Processing Unit' (TPU) architecture, rather than relying on specialised GPUs [graphic processing units] from Nvidia," founder of Elo AI, Matt Falconer explains. "This decision allows Google to reduce their dependence on third-party vendors and achieve vertical integration across its entire AI stack," Falconer added.

Scientists have discovered a brain circuit that boosts maths skills in children and could even be targeted to improve learning. The circuit triggers an area near the back of the head known as the IPS (intraparietal sulcus), which is involved in processing figures, and is linked to the hippocampus where memories are stored. Before children can learn to add and subtract, they must learn which abstract symbol, like '4' or '6', represents which quantity, a skill also known as'number sense'. Experts know the IPS plays a role in number processing but the circuits involved in learning number sense had remained a mystery until now. Lead author Dr Hyesang Chang, of Stanford University, California, said: 'Mathematical skill development relies on number sense, the ability to discriminate between quantities.

Biases in artificial intelligence is an ongoing issue. As AI continues to become entwined in more technologies, its biases start to effect more people. For neurodivergent people, the emerging technology is already causing issues, especially as it becomes a vital element of AI job interviews. Reported by the BBC, AI job interviews are becoming more commonplace, and the tools used are far from perfect. Detailed in a BBC Three documentary, Computer Says No, the algorithms used to power modern recruitment tools are bordering on eugenics.

Marko Karjnovic unveiled his ideas at The Museum of the Future as part of the World Government Summit in Dubai. The Hybrid Intelligence Biometric Avatar (HIBA), will understand the feelings of people connected to it, take on their personas, exchange information with them and even become part of the fabric of their brains. Mr Karjnovic, who has produced the exhibit, explained: "It is very similar to the work of Elon Musk – it is an open source platform for humanity. "HIBA will have the ability to connect the minds of the most clever of us, combining those minds with everything it can find out practically and put it all together in hybrid intelligence."

Deepfake videos could be commonplace and found across the media and online platforms within six months, according to a leading expert. The idea of the videos is to look completely real and show people doing things they never did. These are created by complex computing and artificial intelligence and have caused outrage recently. Moving images can be created from just a single image of a person and US politician Nancy Pelosi, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and even the Mona Lisa have been used in the convincing clips already. The video that kicked off the concern last month was a doctored video of Nancy Pelosi (pictured), the speaker of the US House of Representatives.

Whether you're studying for an exam or revising for a presentation, a quiz on identifying different learning methods promises to help you maximise the amount of information you can retain. Formed of ten questions, the quick quiz by Tutor House asks participants to consider how they would respond in a series of scenarios. This technique reveals if they would benefit most from visual, auditory, read and write or kinesthetic (interactive) learning methods. Created by Tutor House in partnership with educational experts, the quiz considers the widely used VARK (Visual, Aural, Read/write, and Kinesthetic) learning styles developed by Fleming's in 1987. Visual learners are likely to respond to visual stimuli like photos and videos to remember things.

Killer robots could be on battlefields within a year if the UN fails to arrange an international treaty limiting their development. That's the claim of Professor Noel Sharkey, who says early wartime machines could cause mass deaths and they will not be able to tell the difference between enemies and civilians. His comments come as 120 United Nations member states meet this week at the Palais des Nations complex in Geneva to continue talks on the future challenges posed by lethal autonomous weapons system. Dr Noel Sharkey (right) is pictured here with Nobel Peace Laureate Jody Williams (left) campaigning for a ban on fully autonomous weapons. He believes an international treaty banning them is'vitally important' at a UN conference in Geneva this week Dr Noel Sharkey, a Professor of AI and Robotics as well as a Professor of Public Engagement at the University of Sheffield, told MailOnline that an international treaty banning the use of fully autonomous killer robots is'vitally important'.

After the idea first surfaced in the 1980s, virtual reality has finally started to take off - having established its place in video gaming, social networks and even porn. Now experts say soon VR could be coming to the workplace. Virtual business meetings will replace conference calls, as the technology has started to be tested in offices worldwide - and this could happen in the next couple of years.

Imagine a person who can play tennis like Andy Murray, think like Professor Stephen Hawking and can live to 150 - all in a body that looks and feels like it belongs to a 40-year-old. With human bioenhancements, this vision of a'superhuman' could become a reality in fewer than a hundred years. This is according to expert in the social and cultural impacts of technology, Professor Michael Bess, who told MailOnline exactly how he thinks technology will enhance humans in the future. With human bioenhancements, a'superhuman' could become a reality in fewer than a hundred years, an expert has said. Human bioenhancement technologies fall into three main categories: pharmaceuticals, bioelectronics, and genetics.
