Microsoft issues artificial intelligence access principles

Artificial intelligence - Principles and Transparency

The move was made in order to assuage competition concerns with top rival OpenAI. As was recently reported by QR Code Press, Microsoft recently partnered with – and invested in – the artificial intelligence startup Mistral AI. The France-based company has developed its own generative AI. Since the partnership between Microsoft and Mistral AI, the tech giant has launched a large effort to try to hinder competition by way of its massive financial stake and partnership with OpenAI.  Therefore, at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) on Monday, Microsoft launched its…

Artificial intelligence designs battery requiring 70 percent less lithium

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…

Will Google’s Gemini take artificial intelligence to the next level?

Artificial intelligence - Google Logo - Screen with colors

Though OpenAI has been the solid leader in generative AI technology, Google aims to change that. Google is hoping that its Gemini generative artificial intelligence will be a game changer in the category that has been led by OpenAI’s ChatGPT by a large margin since 2022. ChatGPT has been leading the way by a considerable amount since it was first introduced. The latest version of GPT-4 is the latest LLM of OpenAI and is widely thought of as the most capable generative artificial intelligence model currently available. That said, Google…

Artificial intelligence in France spots 20,000 undeclared swimming pools

Artificial intelligence - Home Pool

Tax authorities in the country say that AI has helped them to collect an additional €10 million. French tax officials have announced that through the use of artificial intelligence technology, they have been able to detect thousands of undeclared swimming pools, making it possible for them to collect an additional €10 million. The AI software used aerial image data to detect the pools and whether they had been declared. The French authorities used the artificial intelligence technology along with aerial imagery and tax data to determine whether pools were located…

New artificial intelligence technology spots the worst areas for local pollution

Artificial intelligence technology - AI tech

Duke University researchers employed satellite imagery, weather data and machine learning. Researchers at Duke University have developed new artificial intelligence technology that is able to spot local areas where air pollution is the heaviest. The researchers were able to employ the tech to narrow down the focus to the city block. The artificial intelligence technology used machine learning, satellite imagery and weather data. This combination could identify areas of heavy air pollution from one city block to the next. Using this type of method could be very helpful in identifying…
