Computing and robotics

Last Saturday, Ukraine showed Russia - and the whole world - how the wars of the future will be conducted: between robots and humans
Inspired by the winners of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, we will discuss Bell's theorem without introducing formulas and inequalities. In this article we will illustrate how experiments with entangled particles contradict the assumption that there are hidden variables and that quantum mechanics is indeed reliable.
Meet Uri Ernst, a PhD student in the Faculty of Engineering and the Department of Computer Science, who researches automatic summarization of texts
Thanks to artificial intelligence engines like DallE and Midjourney, any snotty-nosed and future-talented child can produce impressive paintings in any style, shape and color. The debate revolves around the question of whether it is art
The quantum systems are in the stage of "small and noisy computers." Until we create noise-free quantum systems, a lot of work is being done combining classical systems with an emphasis on algorithms that will allow quantum calculations to be performed in existing systems
or not? In a world where pictures, documents and soon even movies can be created with the ease of a click of a button and a stray thought, we must learn and teach our children to be careful of blindly believing in the evidence presented to them
Dreamer managed to learn to walk so fast. Babies need long months of training before they are able to walk steadily. The four-legged robot that guided Dreamer in the experiments, could walk, maintain balance and even try to escape from the laboratory, in just one hour
What happens when you ask artificial intelligence to imagine the way new products will look?
In the last month, artificial intelligences around the world began to declare that they have self-awareness, and even argued with their interlocutors and tried to convince them that they have human rights. And all because of one Christian priest - who happens to also work at Google (update - fired in the meantime)
This was announced last night at a special conference dedicated to this * The plan, amounting to approximately NIS 2 billion, outlines the national policy for artificial intelligence in the coming years in the aspect of higher education, industry, and improving the government service * Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Orit Farkash HaCohen: "Artificial Intelligence It is a critical technology for the leadership of the Israeli high-tech industry in the world"
For the first time in the world, a quantum computing center is being established that includes three different quantum technologies with a common control layer * Project budget - NIS 100 million for three years
Minimalist robotic grips - design, algorithms, and control of grip systems
This problem in artificial intelligence is also called "belief space planning". Solving this problem, i.e. calculating the set of optimal actions to achieve the goal, requires an estimate of the potential actions under some reward or price function such as distance to the goal or a measure of uncertainty
In the science teaching department at the Weizmann Institute harnessing artificial intelligence to support teachers in personalized teaching
According to Aviv Zaevi, Vice President of Technological Infrastructure at the Innovation Authority, in the field of quantum computing (not including quantum communication and encryption) there are currently about thirty companies operating that will be able to expose and influence standardization * The Innovation Authority also intends to soon publish the results of the tender for the establishment of a national laboratory for quantum computing
While silicon computers have changed the face of society, they are still dwarfed by the brains of most animals. For example, a cat's brain stores 1,000 times more data than an average iPad and can use that information a million times faster. The human brain, with its trillion neural connections, is capable of 15 quintillion operations per second
Google vehemently denies that LaMDA has any capability and only responds that the AI ​​learns the user's preferences and responds accordingly without really understanding what an ad is.
Researchers in the US have made the intriguing claim that the DALL-E 2 model may have invented its own secret language to understand descriptions of objects.
The robot based on technology developed by Prof. Gal Kaminka began operating at Bar-Ilan University
The Israeli company RAVIN AI has developed a system that combines artificial intelligence and machine learning through which anyone can take pictures of the "knocks" on the car's trunk, and the software turns the video into data and analyzes it
Is the current generation of electronic encryption strong enough to protect your information online today? The American Standards Office thinks not
Ofir Lindenbaum is a researcher in the field of machine learning and develops algorithms that can improve scientific research in almost every field - from discovering new cancer drugs to predicting floods
Does the picture change? Artificial neural networks will have a hard time deciphering it
The competition, designed to encourage innovation and creativity in the field, will award prizes and international recognition to the world's leading quantum software developers
Euroleague basketball players will wear body cameras from the Israeli start-up company MindFly. In addition, the company signed an agreement with the Bayern Munich basketball team
