Those modelling climate trends and impacts are forced to exclude many things, either because the underlying scientific processes are not yet understood or because representing them is too computationally costly. This results in significant uncertainty in the results of simulations, which comes with real-world consequences. Delegates’ main fight…

While a significant portion of the population remains young, with those aged 15-29 comprising around 27% (UNFPA, 2023), the number of senior citizens has also surged to more than 10% of the population, or roughly 140 million people (Ministry of Statistics, 2023)….

Similarly, GenAI models solve this using ‘chain of thought’ reasoning: “Lata starts with three apples. She buys five more, so 3 + 5 =…
Source: Live Mint AFTER DECADES of blue-collar jobs being snatched up by machines, advanced chatbots are now breathing down white collars. “Generative” artificial-intelligence (AI) tools, such as ChatGPT, have made significant progress in crafting human-sounding language and grasping context. So much so that they have leapfrogged humans in some tasks. This could make as many…

The neural network “transformer”—the t in GPT—that underpins OpenAI’s was first published as research by engineers at Google. TensorFlow and PyTorch, used to build those neural networks, were created by Google and Meta, respectively, and shared with the world. Today, some…
Source: Live Mint – Nvidia emerged as the biggest global gainer in market capitalization for 2024, driven by surging interest in artificial intelligence and the robust demand for its AI-centric chips across various industries. The chipmaker’s market value increased by over $2 trillion last year, reaching $3.28 trillion at the close of 2024, making it…

With extensive use of artificial intelligence, it is becoming increasingly common in India and overseas for people to create explicit deepfakes. These images are then spread through social media, a survey…

On October 15th ASML, a supplier of chipmaking gear, reported that orders during its most recent quarter were only half what analysts had expected, causing its shares to plunge. Two days later TSMC, the…
