From system purpose to how people interact with AI systems, we need to proactively…

Marc Andreessen, the co-founder of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), recently made a surprising revelation regarding artificial intelligence and older computing systems. Speaking at an event, he disclosed that a small Llama AI model was successfully run on a Dell PC from the Windows 98 era. The revelation has sparked discussions about whether human-like interactions with computers could have been achieved decades ago.Could Conversational AI Have Existed 30 Years Ago?Andreessen suggested that the technology necessary for natural, intelligent conversations with computers might have been within reach much earlier than previously thought. “All of those old PCs could literally have…

Imagine an AI system capable of guiding a robot to manipulate physical objects as effortlessly as it navigates software menus. Such seamless integration of digital and physical tasks has long been the stuff of science fiction.   Today, Microsoft researchers are bringing that vision closer to reality with Magma (opens in new tab), a multimodal AI foundation model designed to process information and generate action proposals across both digital and physical environments. It is designed to enable AI agents to interpret user interfaces and suggest actions like button clicks, while also orchestrating robotic movements and interactions in the physical world.  …
