Nvidia AI Platform Aims at Telecom Market 

Colin Henderson

BY PYMNTSSEPTEMBER 19, 2024   Nvidia’s new AI Aerial platform could boost eCommerce and supply chains by transforming cellular networks into smart systems. The move signals a shift in how wireless networks operate, with far-reaching implications for retail and logistics industries. AI Aerial could accelerate the deployment of next-generation technologies, including 5G, robotics and autonomous vehicles. Ecommerce platforms stand to gain significantly from these enhanced network capabilities.  “More advanced AI systems will be developed which will feature recommendation engines and dynamic pricing models; there will be faster and more efficient communication between networks and users due to high data throughput,” Chris Dukich, founder of Display Now, … Continue reading Nvidia AI Platform Aims at Telecom Market

Economist: The Breakthrough AI needs

Colin Henderson

Two years after Chatgpt took the world by storm, generative artificial intelligence seems to have hit a roadblock. The energy costs of building and using bigger models are spiralling, and breakthroughs are getting harder. Fortunately, researchers and entrepreneurs are racing for ways around the constraints. Their ingenuity will not just transform ai. It will determine which firms prevail, whether investors win, and which country holds sway over the technology. Large language models have a keen appetite for electricity. The energy used to train Openai’s gpt-4 model could have powered 50 American homes for a century. And as models get bigger, costs rise rapidly. By one … Continue reading Economist: The Breakthrough AI needs

Digital Operational Resilience Act (EU)

Colin Henderson

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) (Regulation 2023/2554) establishes a comprehensive framework on digital operational resilience for EU financial entities. While all financial sector entities will be subject to DORA, ICT third-party providers who provide ICT services to financial entities and are identified as critical (critical third-party providers – CTPPs), will be subject to an EU oversight framework. The DORA oversight framework assigns to the three European Supervisory Authorities – ESAs (i.e. European Banking Authority – EBA , European Securities and Markets Authority – ESMA, European Insurance and Occupational Pension Authority – EIOPA) the role of Lead Overseer, to ensure … Continue reading Digital Operational Resilience Act (EU)

Summarised “Critique of Pure Reason” definition of truth – Open.ai

Colin Henderson

Truth In Immanuel Kant’s “Critique of Pure Reason,” the notion of truth is deeply connected to his exploration of human cognition and the nature of knowledge. Kant argued that truth, especially in regards to empirical claims about the world, is constructed through the interaction of sensory experience (what he termed “phenomena”) and the inherent structures of human understanding (which he referred to as “categories” or “pure concepts of the understanding”). For Kant, truth is not merely a correspondence between a statement and an external reality; rather, it involves the synthesis of sensory input through the conceptual frameworks inherent in our … Continue reading Summarised “Critique of Pure Reason” definition of truth – Open.ai

We Need a New Science of Progress

Colin Henderson

Humanity needs to get better at knowing how to get better. By Patrick Collison and Tyler Cowen July 30, 2019 In 1861, the American scientist and educator William Barton Rogers published a manifesto calling for a new kind of research institution. Recognizing the “daily increasing proofs of the happy influence of scientific culture on the industry and the civilization of the nations,” and the growing importance of what he called “Industrial Arts,” he proposed a new organization dedicated to practical knowledge. He named it the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Rogers was one of a number of late-19th-century reformers who saw that the United … Continue reading We Need a New Science of Progress

Colin Henderson

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-12/openai-nears-release-of-strawberry-ai-model-with-reasoning-ability RACHEL METZ • BLOOMBERG.COM OpenAI is getting closer to releasing a new artificial intelligence model known internally as “Strawberry” that can perform some human-like reasoning tasks, according to a person familiar with the matter.  The timing is still unclear, but a release to a limited number of users could come as soon as this week, said the person, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. AI with the ability to reason is considered a major step in the development of the technology — in this case it means that OpenAI’s tools should be able to solve multi-step problems, including complicated … Continue reading OpenAI Nears Release of ‘Strawberry’ Model, With Reasoning Capabilities
