AI can predict tipping points before they happen

admin0 CommentsTrending NewsAI, AI models, AI systems, algorithms, artificial intelligence, tipping point

ANYONE CAN spot a tipping point after it’s been crossed. Also known as critical transitions, such mathematical cliff-edges influence everything from the behaviour of financial markets and the spread of disease to the extinction of species. The financial crisis of 2007-09 is often described as one. So is the moment that covid-19 went global. The real trick, therefore, is to spot them before they happen. But that is fiendishly difficult. Computer scientists in China now show that artificial intelligence (AI) can help. In a study published in the journal Physical Review X, the researchers accurately predicted the onset of tipping…

Mumbai: The government will need to inject more funds in the education sector to bring in more public-private partnerships, encourage apprenticeship programmes, establish centres which are focused on crucial skillsets like AI and rollout better infrastructure for a stronger impact of the National Education Policy. “The current 3.5% of GDP spending will not be sufficient for National Education Policy implementation," said Avantika Tomar, EY-Parthenon India Education partner. "Budget 2024-25 should drive more public-private partnerships, revamp teacher training, allocate funds for Centres of Excellence and incubation centres in universities dedicated to AI, and emphasise the need for more Early Childhood Education…

In the world’s tech capital it is taken as read that AI will transform the global economy. But for AI to fulfil its potential, firms everywhere need to buy big tech’s AI, shape it to their needs and become more productive as a result. Investors have added $2trn to the market value of the five big tech firms in the past year—in effect projecting an additional $300bn-400bn in annual revenues according to our rough estimates, about the same as another Apple’s worth of annual sales. For now, though, the tech titans are miles from such results. Even bullish analysts think…

When Aravind Srinivas was accepted at the University of California, Berkeley, to do a PhD, his mother was disappointed. Like many Indian parents, she wanted him to go to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. But things worked out after all; on the west coast he interned at OpenAI and Google’s DeepMind, both of which became leaders in generative artificial intelligence (AI). With that experience, he co-founded Perplexity, a generative-AI startup recently valued at $1bn that provides fast, Wikipedia-like responses to search queries. He is an unassuming interviewee, but an ambitious one. His “answer engine" is aimed at competing with Google…

The story was similar at Google, too, which on 14 May announced features and initiatives to lure developers into building apps and services on its Gemini large language model (LLM)-powered suite of features for Android, Chrome, YouTube and more—which have estimated active user bases of 3.9 billion, 3.2 billion and 2.5 billion, respectively. With Apple and Google both in the fray for generative AI, the stage is now set for an Android versus iOS battle—which will now look to attract developers. At stake is commercialization of generative AI—as more developers build apps and services for Apple and Google’s AI stacks,…

ChatGPT is a marvel of multilingualism

THE HYPE that followed ChatGPT’s public launch last year was, even by the standards of tech innovations, extreme. OpenAI’s natural-language system creates recipes, writes computer code and parodies literary styles. Its latest iteration can even describe photographs. It has been hailed as a technological breakthrough on a par with the printing press. But it has not taken long for huge flaws to emerge, too. It sometimes “hallucinates" non-facts that it pronounces with perfect confidence, insisting on those falsehoods when queried. It also fails basic logic tests. In other words, ChatGPT is not a general artificial intelligence, an independent thinking machine.…
