Long-time Slashdot reader TomGreenhaw shares a report from Motherboard: Superintelligent AI is "likely" to cause an existential catastrophe for humanity, according to a new paper [from researchers at the University of Oxford and affiliated with Google DeepMind], but we don t have to wait to rein in.
A research team has developed new optical computing hardware for AI and machine learning that is faster and much more energy-efficient while addressing the noise inherent to optical computing that can interfere with computing precision.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are currently affecting our lives in many small but impactful ways. For example, AI and machine learning applications recommend entertainment we might enjoy through streaming services such as Netflix and Spotify.
