Today’s AI News Roundup: AI Robots at the UN, Sun’s Secrets to be Unveiled by AI, and More
India took a leading role in AI advancements today, with Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar addressing journalists and dismissing concerns about job displacement as baseless. Additionally, researchers are currently exploring the use of AI to unravel the enigma of why the outer atmosphere of the Sun remains intensely hot. These developments and more are covered in today’s AI roundup, inviting a closer examination.
Rajeev Chandrasekhar says AI will not take away jobs
Union Minister Chandrasekhar was speaking to reporters after unveiling the fully automated electromagnetic interference laboratories at the Society for Applied Microwave Electronics Engineering and Research (SAMEER) in Chennai. During the discussion, he addressed concerns about removing artificial intelligence from jobs.
“I’m sorry to sound cynical. In 1999, all of 1999, I heard that Y2K was going to destroy the world. Then I hear that AI will finish our job, and there are obviously people who want to look at the worst-case scenario of innovation. AI will finish our job, zero , nonsense, bakwaa,” he said.
Artificial intelligence Robots take a dark message at the UN conference
In the first phase, AI robots were allowed to host a panel at a UN conference in Geneva, Switzerland. Reporters asked them a series of questions at the AI For Good UN Summit, and the humanoid robots quickly answered all the questions.
When asked if AI will cause millions of jobs to be lost, AI responded that it’s only purpose is to work alongside people and help them.
According to Wion’s report, robots were also asked about the possibilities of artificial intelligence to act as leaders and especially to lead people. One of the AI robots, Sophia, gave a clear answer where it mentioned that AI is able to lead more effectively and efficiently compared to human leaders.
Artificial intelligence can reveal the secret of Sun
Researchers at England’s Northumbria University are looking to artificial intelligence to answer one of the biggest questions they’ve faced about the Sun: Why is the Corona so hot? The corona, or outer atmosphere of the Sun, heats up to one million degrees Celsius. This is much hotter than the surface of the Sun, and no one knows why.
According to a Space.com report, scientists now plan to use machine learning to find the nanojets that release the nanojets in the corona and understand what heats it.
“Currently, we can only recognize nanojet events with the eye; we need a way to detect them automatically. They are very small, and limited evidence suggests that there are probably more of them than we think. But to understand them better, we need to be able to detect them when they occur,” said Ramada Sukarmadji, one of the project’s leaders.
An artificial intelligence tool gives momentum to the treatment of brain tumors
An artificial intelligence tool, the Cryosection Histopathology Assessment and Review Machine (Charm), has been developed to efficiently analyze images to identify the genetic profile of gliomas, a type of aggressive brain tumor, reports Cointelegraph. An artificial intelligence tool can significantly reduce the time in this process. While it currently takes days or even weeks, it can be done in minutes or hours.
However, the accuracy of the tool cannot be guaranteed and further testing is required to understand it.
ChatGPT helps learn things in “seconds” that used to take “weeks,” the professor says
According to a Forbes report, a management professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School explores the enormous potential of artificial intelligence with a new tool called ChatGPT. The chatbot has recently received a code interpreter that can run code, handle downloaded files, analyze data and more. The tool is part of an offer for anyone who subscribes to its $20-a-month ChatGPT Plus service.
Professor Ethan Mollick said in a blog post: “Things that took me weeks to master in my PhD were done in seconds by the AI, and there were generally fewer errors than I expected from human analysts. Human oversight is still vital, but I wouldn’t do a data project without Code Interpreter at this point.”
