Today’s AI News Roundup: US Space Force Halts AI Use, Electricity Consumption Soaring, and More
Today, artificial intelligence faced more challenges as various issues were brought to light. Firstly, the US Space Force has temporarily suspended the use of web-based generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Bard for its employees due to concerns over data security. Additionally, a recent report has revealed that by 2027, the electricity requirements for all AI-related activities could surpass the annual energy consumption of several nations. These are just a few highlights from today’s AI roundup, so let’s delve deeper into the details.
The US Space Force is suspending the use of artificial intelligence tools
The US Space Force has temporarily suspended the use of web-based generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT among its employees due to security fears, according to a memo uncovered by Reuters.
The memo, dated Sept. 29 and addressed to Guardians, the term the Space Force uses for its personnel, specifically prohibits employees from using artificial intelligence tools, including extensive language models, on government computers until they receive formal authorization from the U.S. Office of Technology and Innovation. space forces.
The memo cites the justification for this temporary restriction as “related to concerns about data aggregation risks.”
Artificial intelligence’s electricity demand can exceed several countries
According to a recent study published as a commentary in the journal Joule, the electricity needed to fuel AI-related activities may exceed the annual energy consumption of entire nations such as the Netherlands, Argentina and Sweden by 2027, reports NDTV. This potential increase in energy demand is primarily due to the widespread adoption of AI, particularly generative AI technologies such as ChatGPT, which have grown rapidly since 2022.
Rwandan students develop technology for China’s first artificial intelligence satellite
The Rwanda Space Agency (RSA) and STAR.VISION Aerospace Limited (STAR.VISION) have made a significant advance in satellite technology by implementing artificial intelligence (AI) on China’s WonderJourney-1A (WJ-1A) satellite, according to a report by the organization. New times.
Launched in August, the WJ-1A satellite now carries a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence algorithm developed by talented Rwandan students. Designed to facilitate machine learning, data analysis and autonomous decision-making, this ground-breaking algorithm is set to become an integral part of the satellite’s String Edge AI platform. In March, RSA and STAR.VISION formalized their cooperation with a Memorandum of Understanding, the purpose of which was to cross the boundaries of space technology.
TitanML secures $2.8M to launch AI-powered LLM tool
London AI startup TitanML has successfully raised $2.8 million in pre-funding, marking the launch of its innovative solution, Titan Takeoff. It is an AI-based tool designed to accelerate the deployment of Large Language Models (LLM). Tech.eu report.
Octopus Ventures led the funding round, and several angel investors participated in supporting deep technology projects.
TitanML’s founding team of Dr. James Dborin, Meryem Arik, and Dr. Fergus Finn have tackled the challenges of deploying AI in enterprises and have developed enterprise-grade software that promises to streamline LLM deployment, making it “faster, more cost-effective” powerful and easier for machine learning teams.”
