Our interview today is truly unique: we have interviewed artificial intelligence (AI)! We wanted to test the now well-known ChatGPT and thought we would interview it as we would a 3D printing expert. ChatGPT (short for Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a chatbot system developed by OpenAI, based on an artificial intelligence model using machine learning technology. When we asked it to introduce itself, it told us, "I'm here to help you solve your problems. I will be glad to help you in any way I can."

Beauty tech has taken off over the past few years, with AI now able to help choose which lipstick best suits your complexion, and hairdryers featuring intelligent temperature controls. Now, L'Oréal has unveiled a new product that uses augmented reality (AR) to draw on your perfect eyebrows - making microblading, threading and waxing a thing of the past. At the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week, the beauty giant unveiled its Brow Magic device. Developed in a partnership with Prinker, a company which specialises in printed, non-permanent tattoos, the technology scans the user's face and makes recommendations on the best ways to shape your brows. L'Oréal Brow Magic uses AR technology to scan your brow, recommending the perfect shape and thickness, before using a 2,400 tiny nozzles and printing technology to draw your brows.

AI, ML and 3D printing technologies can discover and predict suitability of a chemical for use as a weapon, produce it on a relevant scale, optimally weaponize it and safely stockpile it. Pharmaceutical aerosol technologies with agriculture spraying drones for delivery of airborne chemical and biological warfare agents will have devastating results. In this study they used their commercial de novo molecule generator, "MegaSyn", with an altered approach to select rather than discard toxic molecules, especially those like nerve agent VX and Novichok. In less than 6 hours it generated 40,000 known and unknown nerve agent molecules like VX that met the desired threshold of nerve toxicity. It is easier to discover highly toxic chemicals than to find an effective and safe therapeutic drug and then optimize its production and delivery.

Process automation has had a significant impact on how cars are made. Moreover, with EVs and self-driving vehicles, you can expect new applications for process automation. Additionally, the intricacies of modern EVs require new automated tech that needs to evolve. As a result, manufacturing and automation are constantly changing. You have undoubtedly heard of 3D printing technology.

Good connectivity between different pieces of equipment on the shop floor is important for their communication with each other, which eventually enable smart decision-making. This is one of the aspects of the fourth Industrial revolution, which is all set to re-map manufacturing businesses to deliver higher operational efficiency, better business outcomes and customer satisfaction through digital transformation. The digital landscape is continuously evolving for the manufacturing industry as businesses are adapting to the change and even anticipating changes before they occur. Fast-changing customer expectations and technological improvements that have brought a paradigm shift in other industries has begun to show the similar results in the manufacturing sector as well. Smart manufacturing is giving rise to smart factories Smart manufacturing is more than just automation, as it enables learning and adapting to the ever changing market conditions, delivering higher efficiency in quality control, than that performed by Quality Inspectors.

It is sure now, Artificial Intelligence is part of our future and already allowing to create really advanced devices. But do you know that the 3D printing technology can also make the most of AI? 3D printing is a game-changing technology, constantly evolving and finding new ways to improve itself. It now includes new amazing technologies like Artificial Intelligence. This combination of Artificial Intelligence and 3D printing could lead to new amazing applications of the additive manufacturing technology. Find all the answers to your questions in this blog post.

An injured hornbill that was found in Thailand with part of its beak snapped off can now eat again after vets fitted it with a replacement made using a 3D printer. The adult bird -- dubbed'Coco' -- was found sprawled on the ground with a broken wing and its lower bill missing in Kanchanaburi, western Thailand, on April 18. Wildlife officers are unsure how Coco was injured, but believe that she may have been shot or attacked by hunters or poachers and then left for dead in the forest. Although veterinarians were able to give urgent care and stabilise the bird, they were sadly unable to find its missing bill in order to reattach it. Realising it would be impossible for Coco to eat without her signature long bill, they scanned her body and used 3D printing technology to create plastic replacements.

Robots and A.I. could have a big impact on our urban future. "Bweep boo bweeeee," Simon-360 screeches electronically out of its 600-pound metallic frame, rousing you from your slumber atop a mattress made of pressurized warm air. You force one eye open and catch a blurry glimpse of a sunny day from inside your glass-encased condo atop a 2-mile high stratoscraper. The busy yet harmonious morning commute of autonomous flying buses, jet-packed professionals, and schoolchildren on boards that actually hover has already begun in your megacity. I've made you breakfast," your self-aware artificial housekeeper explains, pouring a glass filled with orange juice, fried eggs, toast, and bacon on your face.

Engineering firm Arup and architecture studio CLS Architetti have used a portable robot to 3D print a concrete house, which is on show for Milan design week. Printed onsite on Milan's Piazza Cesare Beccaria, the 100-square-metre house was formed over the course of a week. Made up of 35 modules, the house features curved walls, a living area, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. The walls were was built by a robot designed by Cybe Construction, a 3D printing company from Poland, using a special mix of concrete and additives developed by Italcementi, one of the world's largest cement suppliers. The roof, windows and doors were added afterwards.
