Artificial intelligence - DNA - computer

The technology has arrived at the proof-of-concept stage and is meant to boost processing levels A proof-of-concept computer chip with embedded DNA could end up being the next step in artificial intelligence technology. The computer chip was created using a substrate of DNA able to perform calculations The DNA-infused chip is able to perform calculations and is also capable of managing the processing of big data. The idea of using devices based on DNA isn’t anything new, but the proof-of-concept is.  The purpose is to be able to encode data…

AI Agents - AI Developments

What will it mean when artificial intelligence is available to start performing tasks on our behalf? OpenAI is now reportedly working on the development of AI Agents, which will be capable of performing certain basic tasks on a user’s device when asked to do so. If OpenAI is successful in creating this technology, it could completely change AI. If OpenAI successfully creates AI Agents able to do things like send an email or book a vacation on behalf of a user, it will entirely change the nature of the relationship…

Generative AI - Person using Google Maps

Users will be able to benefit from artificial intelligence’s suggestions for the perfect destination and route. Google Maps is getting an upgrade that will involve the addition of generative AI technology. The goal is to provide users with an easier way to find new places around them and discover the ideal location for what they’re seeking. The technology will help users to refine their searches to a degree beyond what was previously available. Instead of searching for general concepts such as a sporting equipment store or coffee shop, generative AI…

Artificial intelligence - Lithium

This has the potential to make electric vehicles much more environmentally friendly and sustainable. Artificial intelligence was recently used to design a surprising new type of battery that would require substantially less lithium – a rare metal – to achieve the same energy storage results. Lithium mining is terrible for the environment and drives up the cost of vehicle batteries. By reducing the need for lithium – as could be the case if the battery design created by artificial intelligence proves feasible – electric vehicles and devices have the potential…
