Shares of International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM) fell nearly 7% on Thursday morning after the tech giant disclosed that 15 federal contracts had been suspended amid budget cuts by the Trump administration. The suspensions translate to roughly $100 million in lost revenue—a small fraction of IBM’s consulting backlog but a red flag for investors watching the company’s government-facing business. The decline underscores growing concerns over IBM’s consulting segment, which saw a 2% revenue drop in the latest quarter. Analysts highlighted that IBM’s heavy reliance on government and large enterprise clients makes the segment especially vulnerable in a tightening economy. Despite the…

[Image from Pixabay]The MIT Health and Life Sciences Collaborative recently announced the establishment of the Hood Pediatric Innovation Hub to drive children’s healthcare innovation. Launched in collaboration with the Boston-based Charles H. Hood Foundation — which has committed $15 million toward the effort over the next five years — the hub will focus on developing technologies and treatments tailored specifically for children, meeting unmet needs in pediatric medicine. Leveraging MIT’s life science strengths, the hub will provide seed funding and strategic support for bold, high-impact research projects with the potential to transform children’s healthcare. In addition to supporting researchers with…

A coalition of experts, including former OpenAI employees, has voiced strong opposition to the company’s shift away from its nonprofit roots. In an open letter addressed to the Attorneys General of California and Delaware, the group – which also includes legal experts, corporate governance specialists, AI researchers, and nonprofit representatives – argues that the proposed changes fundamentally threaten OpenAI’s original charitable mission.    OpenAI was founded with a unique structure. Its core purpose, enshrined in its Articles of Incorporation, is “to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity” rather than serving “the private gain of any person.” The letter’s…

Between 2013 and 2024, global private sector investment in artificial intelligence (AI) has surged, with a few countries leading the charge. Recent data reveals that 12 nations accounted for the bulk of global AI funding during this period, underscoring a growing international race for technological leadership. The United States leads by a wide margin, raising $471 billion—more than the rest of the world combined. China follows with $119 billion, while the United Kingdom, Canada, and Israel round out the top five with $28 billion and $15 billion each, respectively.

Companies like Google and Microsoft have equipped their productivity suites with AI features and assistants, while startups such as ClickUp and ReadAI have focused heavily on building AI integrations and search capabilities. In alignment with this growing trend of infusing digital work suites with AI, Dropbox on Thursday upgraded its AI search tool, Dash, first introduced in 2023. The company is adding AI “understanding” of different types of content in Dash, which means users can search across audio, video, and images in addition to text. The company is also adding people search to let users search for a person who…

#deeplearning #noether #symmetries This video includes an interview with first author Ferran Alet! Encoding inductive biases has been a long established methods to provide deep networks with the ability to learn from less data. Especially useful are encodings of symmetry properties of the data, such as the convolution’s translation invariance. But such symmetries are often hard to program explicitly, and can only be encoded exactly when done in a direct fashion. Noether Networks use Noether’s theorem connecting symmetries to conserved quantities and are able to dynamically and approximately enforce symmetry properties upon deep neural networks.

StarCraft, considered to be one of the most challenging Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games and one of the longest-played esports of all time, is a “grand challenge” for AI research. Our StarCraft II program AlphaStar is the first Artificial Intelligence to defeat a top professional player. In a series of test matches held on 19 December 2018, AlphaStar decisively beat Team Liquid’s Grzegorz “MaNa” Komincz, one of the world’s strongest professional StarCraft players, 5-0, following a successful benchmark match against his team-mate Dario “TLO” Wünsch. Watch replays of both matches and a special live MaNa v AlphaStar exhibition game, with commentary…
