Elon Musk Says a Human Patient Has Received Neuralink’s Brain Implant
Details are scarce, but Neuralink cofounder Elon Musk says initial results are “promising.”
Robot trained to read braille at twice the speed of humans
Researchers have developed a robotic sensor that incorporates artificial intelligence techniques to read braille at speeds roughly double that of most human readers.
Researchers harness large language models to accelerate materials discovery
Princeton researchers have created an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to predict the behavior of crystalline materials, a key step in advancing technologies such as batteries and semiconductors. Although computer simulations are commonly used in crystal design, the new method relies on a large language model, similar to those that power text generators like ChatGPT.

Study finds AI ‘revolution’ moving at a crawl in enterprises
A new survey reveals that despite the hype around generative AI, real-world enterprise adoption remains low due to barriers like skills gaps, infrastructure constraints, and overall AI integration challenges.Read More
OpenAI and Other Tech Giants Will Have to Warn the US Government When They Start New AI Projects
The Biden administration is using the Defense Production Act to require companies to inform the Commerce Department when they start training high-powered AI algorithms.
Scientists design a two-legged robot powered by muscle tissue
Compared to robots, human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements, and can convert energy efficiently into movement. Drawing inspiration from human gait, researchers from Japan crafted a two-legged biohybrid robot by combining muscle tissues and artificial materials. This method allows the robot to walk and pivot.
