By Susan Rambo, Gregory Haley, Jesse Allen, and Liz Allan President Biden issued an executive order on the “Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence.” It says entities need to report large-scale computing clusters and the total computing power available, including “any model that was trained using a quantity of computing power greater than 1,026 inte... » read more

Research Bits: October 31
By Susan Rambo - 31 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

Skinlike sensor for robots University of British Columbia engineers with help from researchers from Frontier Robotics, Honda research institute, created a soft sensor that approximates skin. Mostly made of silicone rubber, the sensor uses weak electric fields to sense objects, even at a distance, and can detect forces into and along its surface. The sensor could provide touch sensitivity and d... » read more

Quantum Plus AI Widens Cyberattack Threat Concerns
By John Koon - 18 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 1

Quantum computing promises revolutionary changes to the computing paradigm that the semiconductor industry has operated under for decades, but it also raises the prospect of widespread cybersecurity threats. Quantum computing cyberattacks will occur millions of times faster than any assault conventional computing can muster. And while quantum computing is in an early stage of development, ex... » read more
