Gear News of the Week: Samsung's TriFold Sells Out in Minutes, and a Leak Teases Google's New OS

WIRED

Plus: Vivaldi browser shuns AI, Samsung has a new sustainable display, and Frankfurt Airport tests Auracast for gate announcements. Samsung's first-ever Galaxy Z TriFold went on sale this past Friday, but it sold out in minutes . This folding phone differs from the 7th-generation Galaxy Z Fold7 in that its screen can expand to a whopping 10 inches, turning it into a proper tablet . That also means it commands an incredibly high price of $2,899. It's the first device of its kind here in the West, though Huawei has its own version in China.


AI can be a powerful tool for scientists. But it can also fuel research misconduct

AIHub

In February this year, Google announced it was launching "a new AI system for scientists". It said this system was a collaborative tool designed to help scientists "in creating novel hypotheses and research plans". It's too early to tell just how useful this particular tool will be to scientists. But what is clear is that artificial intelligence (AI) more generally is already transforming science. Last year for example, computer scientists won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for developing an AI model to predict the shape of every protein known to mankind.


Reviews: SPALS: Fast Alternating Least Squares via Implicit Leverage Scores Sampling

Neural Information Processing Systems

As the "LS" of ALS suggests, each iteration of ALS for tensor decomposition amounts to solving a least squares regression problem. The main contribution of this submission is then to observe that good upper bounds on the leverage scores of the underlying matrix can be quickly approximated due to special structure of the matrix, namely Theorem 3.2 of the submission. This is the only, albeit important, novel observation of this paper. Once Theorem 3.2 is obtained, filling in the other details is standard. From this one observation, they are able to compare quite favorably with [37] (see Figure (a) on page 8).


New survey reveals AI could drive humans to extinction - and top researchers say it would happen by dangerous groups engineering viruses, rulers controlling populations, or threatening economic inequality

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Many tech experts have warned that AI is on a path of destruction, but a new survey of top researchers has quantified the chances of it causing human extinction. A team of international scientists asked 2,778 AI experts about the future of the systems, with five percent reporting the tech will lead to collapse. But, a far more frightening estimation came from one in 10 researchers who said there's a shocking 25 percent chance that AI will destroy the human race. The experts cited three possible causes: AI allowing threatening groups to make powerful tools, like engineered viruses, 'authoritarian rulers using AI to control their populations and AI systems worsening economic inequality by disproportionately benefiting certain individuals.' Artificial intelligence regulation control is the only answer to protecting humans, and if AI isn't regulated, researchers estimated that there is a 10 percent chance that machines will outperform humans in all tasks by 2027, - but it would increase to a 50 percent chance by 2047.


Using data, AI, and cloud to transform real estate

MIT Technology Review

While developing a foundational strategy for transformation that is based on enabling the core business is key, advanced technologies like AI and machine learning are powerful tools that can unlock efficiencies across the entire real estate lifecycle, Davé says. AI/ML are incredibly powerful tools to become data-driven from analytics tools that can predict asset failures and market movements to infusing efficiencies across operations. "There are new and different ways in which real estate is viewed, transacted, managed, and all of that gets enabled through data and technology," says Davé. Beyond operational improvements, advanced and smart technologies can also help reduce emissions. According to a 2019 International Energy Agency global status report, the real estate industry contributed 39% of global carbon emissions attributed to both construction and the life cycle of the asset.


How AI may be a powerful tool in treating male infertility

BBC News

If you've got somebody that's had an egg collection, and you've got eggs that need to be fertilised, there's only a small time window for us to be able to do that. Speeding up the process would be hugely advantageous.

A Beginner's Guide to Neural Networks on Python

#artificialintelligence

Welcome to the exciting world of Neural Networks on Python! Neural Networks are a powerful tool for machine learning that can be used to solve a wide range of problems. In this tutorial, we'll cover everything you need to know to get started with neural networks in Python. But before we dive into the deep end, let's get the basics out of the way. A neural network is a type of machine learning model that is designed to mimic the way the human brain works.


Musk's proposed AI pause means China would 'race' past US with 'most powerful' tech, expert says

FOX News

'The Five' co-hosts weigh in on the creator of ChatGPT raising'major concerns' regarding the implications of how artificial intelligence could change society. Elon Musk's proposed temporary halt in AI development would give China the freedom to surpass the U.S. and develop "the most powerful tool" in the 21st century, according to an industry expert. "We need artificial intelligence to automate and manage so much of the existing technology, as well as open the ability for us to manage a significantly larger population," Sultan Meghji, a professor at Duke University's Pratt Engineering School, told Fox News Digital. "We will not be able to do that without artificial intelligence." "As we consider our global competition with the People's Republic of China and others," Meghji, who served as the first chief innovation officer for the FDIC, argued, "artificial intelligence is the most powerful tool in our toolbox, and I don't want to lose the 21st century to the Chinese."


Unlock the Power of Synthetic Data: A Guide for the Aspiring Data Scientist

#artificialintelligence

Data for Machine Learning Model is the heart of the AI world. But many companies struggle to find adequate data to build a successful model. That's where Synthetic Data comes in. Synthetic Data is generated using different techniques, some of which are statistical methods, deep learning methods, open source technologies and so on. Synthetic Data has many benefits, such as being beneficial for companies lacking data, being able to generate non-dominating class data, allowing for the generation of data without using PII and aiding autonomous vehicle companies.


ChatGPT may be a bigger cybersecurity risk than an actual benefit

#artificialintelligence

ChatGPT made a splash with its user-friendly interface and believable AI-generated responses. With a single prompt, ChatGPT provided detailed answers that other AI assistants had not achieved. Powered by a massive dataset that ChatGPT had been trained on, the breadth and variety of topics it could address quickly amazed the tech industry and the public. However the technology sophistication raises inevitable question: what are the drawbacks of ChatGPT and similar technologies? With capabilities to generate a multitude of realistic responses, ChatGPT could be used to create a host of responses capable of tricking an unassuming reader into thinking a real human is behind the content.
