The debate on how far artificial intelligence can go revolves around questions about what actually constitutes human intelligence, and can a machine function similarly enough to a human brain? While not shooting for AGI, UK-based Stanhope AI is building its models according to neuroscience principles, and using the predictive, hierarchic machinery that make up our brains for inspiration.  The result is an AI that doesn’t need training. It basically just needs to be told that it exists, provided a prior system of beliefs  — and then take off (literally) into the real world and learn from its surroundings using sensors.…

Google has been slapped with a €250mn fine for breaching EU intellectual property rules in how it deals with media publishers, including scraping news articles to train its AI models without permission.  The regulator found Google guilty of scraping content from news websites to train its chatbot Bard — now Gemini — without notifying publishers or the authorities. Google also didn’t provide a way for publishers to opt out, blocking them from possibly negotiating fair payment for the use of their stories. The case is part of a five-year quarrel between Google and media publishers over the use of online…

Have you tried your first ebike yet? Despite being surrounded by them on a daily basis in Amsterdam (only mildly bitter as they whizz past me while I struggle against the notorious always-in-your-face wind resistance), I must confess that I had yet to actually try one until last week, when I attended a demo event for the new Cowboy Cross. As a result, I have nothing to compare it with, and cannot for certain attest to it being the “pinnacle of smart, secure, and versatile cycling,” as marketed by the company. However, it did make for a fun and very…

Direct air capture (DAC) features prominently in the climate plans of many world governments, and has drawn billions of dollars in private investment. And yet, as the costs of the technology remain prohibitively high, some doubt whether we can depend on it at all.  Mission Zero Technologies, a startup based out of the UK, believes we can — but by doing things a little differently. It has developed a modular, carbon-sucking machine that it says is cheaper and more efficient than the contraptions currently under development. The device pulls in air from the atmosphere and passes it over a water-based…

Quantum computers have an almost mythical status among data scientists and researchers. The dream of emerging out of the NISQ (noisy intermediate-scale quantum) era into a world of fault-tolerant qubits generating unbreakable encryption or solving climate change keeps many startups going despite difficult investment propositions with longer return horizons. But quantum technologies don’t only inspire wonder and excitement — they are also a growing geopolitical concern. More and more countries are setting up ambitious quantum strategies, and the US has placed export controls on equipment that supports quantum technology development to China.

TikTok’s rough week in the west went from bad to worse today when Italian authorities slapped the app with a €10mn fine over a viral challenge called the “French scar.” The game invites users to pinch their cheeks until they leave a lasting bruise. It became particularly popular in Italy, which prompted scrutiny from the country’s competition regulator. Following a probe, investigators concluded that TikTok had failed to protect users from “the potentially dangerous” content. The watchdog warned that the French scar threatened the “psycho-physical safety” of users — particularly minors and vulnerable people. “Moreover, this content is systematically re-proposed…

Computing power to develop artificial intelligence does not come cheap. While you can build a simple AI chatbot for next to nothing, training a fine-tuned model on large data sets can cost millions of dollars. In order to lower the costs associated with training AI the UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency, or ARIA, has launched a programme called Scaling Compute. The initiative is committing £42mn to find new, more economic alternatives to the energy-intensive hardware currently utilised to support the explosion in demand for compute driven by the arrival of generative AI. And it is encouraging funding applicants to…
