🧠 Neuralink has implanted its first brain chip in humanLINK
Elon Musk's company Neuralink has successfully implanted its first device into a human.
The initial application of Neuralink's technology is focused on helping people with quadriplegia control devices with their thoughts, using a fully-implantable, wireless brain-computer interface.
Neuralink's broader vision includes facilitating human interaction with artificial intelligence via thought, though immediate efforts are targeted towards aiding individuals with specific neurological conditions.
🤖 Meta unveils Code Llama 70B, its 'largest and best-performing model'LINK
Meta introduces 'Code Llama 70B', a free, open-source AI model with 70 billion parameters, specialized for generating computer code, surpassing its predecessor Llama 2 in capabilities. Code Llama achieves a score of 67.8 on the HumanEval benchmark, contrasting with GPT-4 Turbo's score of 81.7, and is available in three versions including a Python-specific and an instruction-based synthesis model. Trained on 500 billion tokens of code and related data, Code Llama supports programming languages like C++, Java, PHP, and Python, and can handle inputs up to 100,000 tokens, approximately 75,000 words.
🔮 Apple Vision Pro review: magic, until it’s notLINK
The Apple Vision Pro is praised as the best consumer headset ever made, featuring high-resolution MicroOLED displays, hand and eye tracking, and seamless integration with Apple's ecosystem.Despite its advanced features and design, the Vision Pro comes with significant tradeoffs such as weight, an external battery pack. Priced at $3,499, it also faces practical issues such as video passthrough blur and inconsistent tracking performance.
👪 OpenAI partners with Common Sense Media to collaborate on AI guidelinesLINK
OpenAI announced a partnership with Common Sense Media to develop AI guidelines and create educational materials for parents, educators, and teens, including curating family-friendly GPTs in the GPT store.
The partnership was announced by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Common Sense Media CEO James Steyer at the Common Sense Summit for America's Kids and Families in San Francisco.
Common Sense Media, which has started reviewing AI assistants including OpenAI's ChatGPT, aims to guide safe and responsible AI use among families and educators without showing favoritism towards OpenAI.
🔬 New test detects ovarian cancer earlier thanks to AILINK
Scientists have developed a 93% accurate early screening test for ovarian cancer using artificial intelligence and machine learning, promising improved early detection for this and potentially other cancers.
The test analyzes a woman's metabolic profile to accurately assess the likelihood of having ovarian cancer, providing a more informative and precise diagnostic approach compared to traditional methods.
Georgia Tech researchers utilized machine learning and mass spectrometry to detect unique metabolite characteristics in the blood, enabling the early and accurate diagnosis of ovarian cancer, with optimism for application in other cancer types.
