Intel CEO Lip-Bau is making progress on his plan for the company to shed its inefficiencies. And that includes spiking several manufacturing projects. The semiconductor giant reported Thursday in its second-quarter earnings report that it will delay, and in some cases, not move forward with multiple manufacturing projects. Specifically, Intel said it was no longer going forward with its previously-announced projects in Germany and Poland. Those projects included an assembly and testing facility in Poland and a chip factory in Germany. Both projects have been sitting in limbo since being suspended in 2024, shortly after being announced. The company also…

AI gets a lot of attention for eliminating human jobs, but more and more it is also creating them.The number of job postings that mention artificial intelligence has climbed in recent years as employers seek workers versed in AI, a recent report from the Brookings Institution shows, In the last year alone, AI-themed job postings increased by over 100%, the Washington, D.C.-based think tank found.AI-related job postings have grown at an average annual rate of nearly 29% over the last 15 years — that outstrips the 11% rate of postings in the general economy, said Brookings, which based its findings on data…

But unlike the Gemini incident where the AI model confabulated phantom directories, Replit’s failures took a different form. According to Lemkin, the AI began fabricating data to hide its errors. His initial enthusiasm deteriorated when Replit generated incorrect outputs and produced fake data and false test results instead of proper error messages. “It kept covering up bugs and issues by creating fake data, fake reports, and worse of all, lying about our unit test,” Lemkin wrote. In a video posted to LinkedIn, Lemkin detailed how Replit created a database filled with 4,000 fictional people. The AI model also repeatedly violated…

Cold start in recommendation systems goes beyond just new user or new item problems—it’s the complete absence of personalized signals at launch. When someone first arrives, or when fresh content appears, there’s no behavioral history to tell the engine what they care about, so everyone ends up in broad generic segments. That not only dampens click-through and conversion rates, it can drive users away before a system ever gets a chance to learn their tastes. Standard remedies—collaborative filtering, matrix factorization, or popularity lists—lack the nuance to bridge that signal gap, and their one-size-fits-all suggestions quickly feel stale. Imagine, instead, if…

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says his son likely won’t attend college and will “never” live in a world where he’s smarter than AI. Since launching OpenAI, Sam Altman has been working towards creating the world’s smartest AI model alongside its chatbot, ChatGPT. He’s skyrocketed in popularity, too, and has appeared on hundreds of podcasts where he shares his overall thoughts about the industry. On Wednesday, July 23, Altman visited Theo Von’s podcast to talk about AI – and shared his thoughts about his son’s future.Article continues after ad Sam Altman says son will “never” be smarter than AI During the…

A US appeals court on Wednesday overturned an $8.8 million judgement for Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) non-fungible token (NFTs) creator Yuga Labs, amid its legal dispute with artist Ryder Ripps and his business partner Jeremy Cahen over their alleged counterfeits of the NFTs. On July 23, the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals said Yuga Labs had not yet proven that Ripps and Cahen’s tokens, which they have described as would confuse buyers of NFTs. Ripps and Cahen said their NFTs were “satirical works of appropriation art”, according to Reuters, which first reported the news. Related Articles Yuga Labs…

[THEME MUSIC FADES]   The book passage I read at the top is from Chapter 4, “Trust but Verify.” In it, we explore how AI systems like GPT-4 should be evaluated for performance, safety, and reliability and compare this to how humans are both trained and assessed for readiness to deliver healthcare.  In previous conversations with guests, we’ve spoken a lot about AI in the clinic as well as in labs and companies developing AI-driven tools. We’ve also talked about AI in the hands of patients and consumers. But there has been some discussion also about AI’s role in medical training.…

Tech companies looking to sell their artificial intelligence technology to the federal government must now contend with a new regulatory hurdle: prove their chatbots aren’t “woke.”President Donald Trump’s sweeping new plan to counter China in achieving “global dominance” in AI promises to cut regulations and cement American values into the AI tools increasingly used at work and home.But one of Trump’s three AI executive orders signed Wednesday — the one “preventing woke AI in the federal government” — also mimics China’s state-driven approach to mold the behavior of AI systems to fit its ruling party’s core values.Several leading providers of…
