MIT's Revolutionary Small Language Models Overthrow AI Giants

MIT researchers have developed a self-learning, scalable language model, SimPLE, that outperforms larger models by up to 500 times in specific tasks, without relying on human annotations.

This innovative approach challenges the conventional belief about the superiority of larger models and highlights the potential of more efficient, sustainable, and privacy-preserving smaller models.

Next-Gen Robotics Featuring Autonomous Self-healing Skin

Stanford University researchers have engineered a multi-layered synthetic skin with a human-like sense of touch, that can automatically realign and heal itself when damaged. The synthetic skin is composed of polypropylene glycol and silicone, which are conductive, biocompatible, and capable of self-healing when warmed. The development could pave the way for prosthetics and robotics that can recover autonomously from severe damage.

DeepMind's Game-changing AI Tool Revolutionizes Code Sorting

DeepMind, a branch of Google, has engineered a groundbreaking AI tool that crafts highly efficient algorithms without any training on human code. This innovation was achieved by translating programming into a game-like scenario, an approach echoing their previous strategies with chess and Go. AlphaDev, the devised system, formulates x86 assembly algorithms focusing on latency reduction and error elimination.

Google Cloud Teams Up with Mayo Clinic: Transforming Healthcare with Generative AI

A partnership between Google Cloud and Mayo Clinic will harness the power of generative AI to revolutionize healthcare. Leveraging Google's Enterprise Search capabilities, Mayo Clinic’s practitioners can achieve a deeper comprehension of user intent via natural language processing, enhancing their ability to provide personalized care.

The initiative aims to improve operational efficiency, enhance patient engagement, and promote research and development, according to Google Cloud's CEO Thomas Kurian.

Developer Discovers Plan for Customizable Instagram AI Chatbot

Instagram is reportedly planning to roll out an AI chatbot, rivalling Snapchat's My AI tool, according to developer Alessandro Paluzzi. By reverse-engineering Instagram's code, Paluzzi found that users would be able to select from 30 different chatbot personalities, aiming to assist users in expressing themselves and writing messages. Paluzzi's investigation also revealed Instagram's work on AI-generated stickers and a text-based social network, 'Barcelona' secret project.
