Robotics, 5G tech, smart energy, and artificial intelligence will—as promised late last year by the UK’s prime minister Theresa May—be showered in R&D cash from a multi-billion pound taxpayer-funded pot. The PM said in November that £2 billion per year would be set aside for research and development up to 2020—the end of the current parliament’s term.

According to Brazilian news publication MG1, 32-year old Rebeca Cardoso Tenente Molina died after a state-run AI system for assigning hospital beds forced her to wait five days to transfer to an intensive care unit. In interviews with MG1, Mo
New AI framework can uncover space physics equations in raw data

The overall PhyE2E framework. Top: the training dataset was augmented with a large-scale synthetic dataset generated by an LLM. MLP, multilayer perceptron. Middle: a variable-interaction technique was integrated to decompose the original symbolic regression problem into simpler subproblems, referred to as D&C. An end-to-end model was trained to predict the target formula using observed data points and prior physical knowledge (referred to as 'physical prio

The AI-Centric Private School Chain Reportedly Isn't Meeting Its Own Academic Goals
Alpha School is a chain of AI-centric private schools built around a program where academic subjects are supposed to be all wrapped by lunch, so kids can focus on life skills like “leadership” for most of the day. It’s expensive, and the pedagogy includes unconventional ideas like having kids “earn money by doing academics, so they can fund their passion projects.” Famously, Alpha School is largely app-based, gamified, and very little paper is used. The Al
