Two microwave channels act as hot and cold heat reservoirs, highlighted by a reddish and a bluish glow, respectively. The heat reservoirs are coupled to an artificial molecule consisting of two qubits. Controlled microwave noise (white zigzag arrows) is injected through the side ports to drive and regulate heat transport. Credit: Simon Sundelin. For quantum computers t

The lawsuit adds to a stack of litigation against OpenAI regarding alleged harm to consumers and concerns over the safety of relying on general-use chatbots for guidance about sensitive topics like personal health. According to the lawsuit, which was first re

Nate Soares via Facebook In the troubling view of machine learning researcher Nate Soares, AI is more likely than not to wipe out humanity within the next decade. At least, that’s what Soares said during a recent episode of the Atlantic’s podcast “The Most Interesting Thing in AI.” During the taping, the AI researcher and president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute even said that he’s so confident in the coming AI apocalypse that he’s stopped

Shutterstock / Futurism Woe is Google. After it starved out publishers with its AI features, it’s now getting a taste of its own medicine. Shares of its parent company Alphabet took an over 11 percent nosedive on Wednesday, after it disclosed that its AI search features are raking in less money than its traditional search ad model.
