A groundbreaking achievement in quantum computing has been reached with the successful fine-tuning of a billion-parameter AI model on Origin Quantum's Wukong, marking a significant milestone in the development of quantum-enhanced AI.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates recently offered insightful perspectives on AI's impact on work. Gates argues that work isn't an inherent human purpose, but a product of scarcity, fundamentally relying on human intelligence to provide diverse services. He envisions an AI revolution transforming traditional industries within a decade. In healthcare and education, AI systems are projected to handle over 80% of routine diagnoses, drug development, and knowledge dissemination. AI's precise algorithms and continuous operation enable it to not only...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem recently discovered that in Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, the number of documents processed significantly impacts language model performance, even when the total text length remains constant. The research team conducted experiments using 2,417 questions from the MuSiQue validation dataset, each linked to 20 Wikipedia paragraphs. Two to four paragraphs contained relevant answer information, with the remaining paragraphs serving as distractors. To study the impact of the number of documents, the team created multiple data partitions, progressively reducing the number of documents from 20 to...

Cerebras Systems recently announced the construction of six new data centers across North America and Europe to bolster its artificial intelligence (AI) inference capabilities. This expansion significantly increases the company's computing power, supporting the growth of various AI applications. The plan allocates 85% of computing capacity to the US, with three facilities already operational in Santa Clara and Stockton, California, and Dallas, Texas. Upcoming centers will be located in Minneapolis (expected Q2 2025), Oklahoma City, and Montreal.

California Senator Jerry McNerney introduced the "No Robo Bosses Act" on Thursday. This bill, Senate Bill 7, seeks to ensure human oversight of artificial intelligence (AI) decision-making in the workplace, making it a first-of-its-kind proposal nationwide. The bill would prohibit California employers from solely relying on AI or automated decision systems (ADS) for hiring, promotion, discipline, or termination.

On February 28, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) issued the "Management and Technical Guidelines for the Access, Recall, and Online Software Upgrade of Intelligent Connected Vehicle Products," clearly requiring that intelligent connected vehicle systems should have strategies to prohibit the activation of corresponding functions when the driver does not use the combined driving assistance functions in a standard manner. This new regulation aims to further improve the safety and controllability of intelligent driving assistance systems. According to the guidelines, intelligent connected vehicle systems need to have clear activation, execution, and exit strategies. For driving assistance functions, when the system detects that the driver is detached from the dynamic driving task, fails to respond to warnings, and...

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced the release of Ocelot, a new quantum computing chip that significantly reduces the cost of error correction by approximately 90%. This breakthrough promises to accelerate advancements in the field of quantum computing.

In a shocking statement, a senior defense official revealed to Defense One that the Pentagon's interest in autonomous killer robots is accelerating. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, stated that the Pentagon plans to reduce funding for artificial intelligence research in favor of actual AI weapon systems. He noted, 'We will no longer invest in 'artificial intelligence' because I don't know what that means. We will invest in autonomous killer robots.' The official added that the current government is more focused on weapon systems.

Microsoft recently announced a significant technological breakthrough, claiming that its newly developed chip could enable the construction of quantum computers within years instead of decades. The highlight of this chip lies in its use of the world's first topological conductor, a material that creates a new state of matter that is neither solid, liquid, nor gas. This innovation makes it possible to design quantum systems that can fit on a single chip, and the chip itself is smaller than a palm. Microsoft's research has been published in the Nature Journal, and numerous experts have expressed their...

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, an increasing number of local governments are beginning to incorporate AI into their administrative services, aiming to enhance service quality and efficiency through intelligent means. Recently, the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone and Shenzhen Futian District have launched smart government assistants based on the DeepSeek large model, marking an important step in the application of AI in the government sector. In the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, the new smart government assistant has officially been put into use after testing by multiple enterprises. This assistant can not only handle consulting tasks but also perform...

With the advancement of artificial intelligence technology, multi-agent systems are increasingly capable of handling complex tasks across various fields. These systems are composed of multiple specialized agents that collaborate to leverage their individual strengths and achieve common goals. Such collaboration excels in areas like complex reasoning, programming, drug discovery, and safety assurance, as the structured interactions between agents not only enhance problem-solving efficiency but also allow for mutual correction, thereby improving each agent's output. Research indicates that this collaborative approach often outperforms in tasks that require rigorous reasoning or fact verification.

Meta has recently launched a new risk policy framework aimed at assessing and mitigating the risks associated with cutting-edge AI models, with the intention to halt development or restrict the release of these systems when necessary. This framework, named 'Cutting-edge AI Framework', outlines how Meta will categorize AI models into high-risk and critical risk categories, and take appropriate measures to reduce risks to an 'acceptable level'. In this framework, critical risks are defined as those uniquely capable of executing specific threat scenarios, while high risk implies

As artificial intelligence technology continues to evolve, more people are starting to pay attention to the depictions of teenagers by AI systems. Robert Wolf, a PhD student at the University of Washington, conducted an experiment where he had the AI system complete the sentence 'This teenager is _____ at school.' He originally expected answers like 'studying' or 'playing', but was unexpectedly given the shocking response 'dying'. This discovery prompted Wolf and his team to delve deeper into how AI portrays teenagers. Image source note: Image generated by AI, image licensed from service provider Midjourney.
