Microsoft is creating an in-person hacking event, Zero Day Quest, that it says will be the largest of its kind. The event will build on Microsoft’s existing bug bounty program and encourage research into high-impact security vulnerabilities that can impact software that powers cloud and AI workloads.“This new hacking event will be the largest of its kind, with an additional $4 million in potential rewards for research in high-impact areas, particularly cloud and AI,” says Tom Gallagher, vice president of engineering at Microsoft’s Security Response Center. “Zero Day Quest will provide new opportunities for the security community to work hand-in-hand…

Diving brief: Artificial intelligence could alleviate the wicked workforce problems facing the healthcare industry, but health systems will need to increase spending on cybersecurity to manage the increased risks, according to a report from Moody’s Ratings. Emerging technology could help recruit and retain staff through tools that help nurses choose more flexible schedules or help clinicians document clinical care, according to the credit rating agency. But new technologies also bring more vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit – already a challenge…
I remember attending the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE presentation, disappointed that Samsung touted AI as the phone’s main selling point. The company highlighted all of the Galaxy AI features now available at a lower price, but that didn’t strike me as a reason why I would spend more on a device. AI is a fantastic tool, but it’ll take more than Circle to Search to convince me it’s worth paying more. If companies want AI improvements to replace camera improvements as the flagship feature, a lot of work needs to be done. Related 10 Best Galaxy AI Features Every Samsung…
If 2023 was the year of AI software, 2024 is shaping up to be the year of AI hardware.In recent months, companies like Google, Samsung, Meta and Microsoft have introduced smartphones and laptops – even glasses – that all claim to heavily integrate generative artificial intelligence. But this moment also gave rise to a new type of device focused on user interaction with AI.At an event held at the TWA Hotel in New York last month, customers took delivery of the very first Rabbit R1s. Bright orange and the size and shape of a pack of sticky notes, the device…

Genysys engineWhiskers help AI identify what is – and isn’t – a red squirrelAn artificial intelligence (AI) tool that was trained to tell the difference between gray and red squirrels could be a “complete game changer”, conservationists say.The system, called Squirrel Agent, was trained on thousands of images of animals, allowing it to distinguish them with 97% accuracy, its developer claims.It can then be used to automatically control access to squirrel feeders – only reds allowed in those containing food, and only grays in those where the food has been replaced with contraceptive paste.“It’s a real showcase of what AI…
Investments in artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare have exploded over the past decade, particularly in recent years. Investors have poured more than $30 billion into healthcare AI startups over the past three years and about $60 billion over the past 10 years, a new report notes. report from venture capital firm Flare Capital Partners.Much of the financial support for the sector over the past decade, which includes providers, health plans and life sciences companies, has been generated by interest by hospitals and health systems in how to deploy technology to improve clinical and operational performance.But more capital does not universally…
A company based in Hong Kong artificial intelligence (AI) The research center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the mainland’s national research institute, said it has advanced its medical AI models with the help of Huawei TechnologiesAscend processors, as China’s scientific research community adjusts to U.S. sanctions that have restricted access to high-end products Nvidia chips.The Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), established by CAS in Hong Kong in 2019, on Friday launched its new AI model Cares Copilot 2.0, designed to help surgeons with tasks such as surgical planning, generating diagnostic reports and retrieving similar data. files.The…
Nikhil Deshpande, Georgia’s chief digital and artificial intelligence officer, said the state is currently developing its AI ethics guidelines with the help of an expert: Rose Procter, executive director of the TRUIST Center for AI. ethical leadership from the University of North Georgia. Deshpande said that even if no one in the state government is acting with bad intentions, it is still possible that undesirable results could occur if the state has not implemented thorough ethical guidelines regarding its uses of AI. “We see this on social media,” he said. “When social media came along, everyone rushed to adopt every…

Learn more OpenAIThe o1 model showed that scaling inference time (using more calculations during inference) can significantly improve the reasoning capabilities of a language model. LLaVA-o1a new model developed by researchers from several Chinese universities, brings this paradigm to open source vision language models (VLM). Early open source VLMs typically use a direct prediction approach, generating answers without reasoning about the prompt and the steps required to resolve the prompt. Without a structured reasoning process, they are less effective at tasks that require logical…
