Artificial intelligence (AI) has been causing unease among Hollywood writers, with chatbots that write or rewrite scripts being one of the key concerns. The Writers Guild of America is currently striking for better pay, but AI is looming as a rising anxiety. AI-Powered Screenwriting AI chatbots could potentially be used to create a rough first

In March 2023, a group of researchers and tech leaders, including Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, published an open letter calling for a pause in the artificial intelligence (AI) race. They recommended that labs halt the training of technologies stronger than OpenAI’s GPT-4, the most sophisticated language-generating AI system, for at least six months. While
Biomass energy is a type of renewable energy that is stored within biomass through photosynthesis. It is the only carbon source that is renewable. China has abundant biomass resources, and previous studies have emphasized the potential energy use of biomass resources in China. However, there has been no systematic study of energy conservation and carbon
Germany’s energy minister, Robert Habeck, has announced a series of measures to ease bureaucratic hurdles for solar power. This follows the country’s new record for photovoltaic installations during the first quarter of 2023. Europe’s largest economy added 2.7 gigawatts of solar power capacity during this period, indicating that it is on course to beat the
Researchers have been trying to develop more energy-efficient and faster machine learning systems that can replicate the versatile computational abilities of biological neurons for decades. One promising approach has been the use of memristors – electronic components that can store a value by modifying their conductance and then use that value for in-memory processing. However,
Researchers have developed an algorithm that can locate any point on Earth using signals from multi-constellation Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The algorithm can exploit signals broadcast by Starlink, OneWeb, Orbcomm, and Iridium satellites, without assistance from the satellite operators. The Study Led by Zak Kassas, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at The
Experts at the University of Oxford and international collaborators have released a new study in Nature Machine Intelligence that addresses the ethical concerns related to the responsibility for outputs generated by large language models (LLMs). LLMs such as ChatGPT pose critical issues regarding the attribution of credit and rights for useful text generation, which differs
