The Political Theater Behind the State of the Union Data Privacy Push
Biden’s speech calling for better data protections got a standing ovation from both sides of the aisle. So, where’s a federal privacy law?
Neural network trained using a diverse dataset outperforms conventionally trained algorithms
Artificially intelligent neural networks, trained by images and videos available on the internet, can recognize faces, objects, and more. But there’s a serious drawback. Teaching machine learning algorithms how to identify people or items by relying solely on the visual library of faces and objects found online underrepresents socioeconomic and demographic groups.
The ‘race starts today’ in search as Microsoft reveals new OpenAI-powered Bing, ‘copilot for the web’

Rolls-Royce Spectre EV First Drive: Elegant, Understated, Silent
WIRED got two hours behind the wheel of a preproduction prototype of what might be the ultimate high-end EV. It wasn’t enough.
AI can predict the effectiveness of breast cancer chemotherapy
Engineers have developed artificial intelligence (AI) technology to predict if women with breast cancer would benefit from chemotherapy prior to surgery.
Study shows how large language models like GPT-3 can learn a new task from just a few examples
Large language models like OpenAI’s GPT-3 are massive neural networks that can generate human-like text, from poetry to programming code. Trained using troves of internet data, these machine-learning models take a small bit of input text and then predict the text that is likely to come next.
Google and Microsoft prepare dueling generative AI debuts
Google and Microsoft, in separate surprise announcements, confirmed they plan to offer dueling generative AI debuts over the next two days.Read More
Earthquake Aftershocks May Rock Turkey and Syria for Months, Even Years
Monday’s massive earthquake has triggered a swarm of aftershocks, which will make a humanitarian disaster even more devastating.
Interactive cyber-physical human: Generating contact-rich whole-body motions
Performing human-like motions that involve multiple contacts is challenging for robots. In this regard, a researcher has envisioned an interactive cyber-physical human (iCPH) platform with complementary humanoid (physical twin) and simulation (digital twin) elements. iCPH combines human measurement data, musculoskeletal analysis, and machine learning for data collection and augmentation. As a result, iCPH can understand, …
