Most big AI language programs (LLMs) are “static,” meaning they don’t learn new things on their own once they’re built. Researchers have created a new system called SEAL that lets these LLMs “teach themselves” by creating their own practice data and figuring out how to update their own knowledge. This allows the LLMs to continuously…
Researchers have developed a novel retinal prosthesis made from tellurium nanowires that can restore partial vision in blind mice and even grant near-infrared vision to sighted macaques. This implant works by efficiently converting both visible and near-infrared light into electrical signals that the brain can interpret. This breakthrough offers a promising path for restoring sight…
Meta AI has unveiled V-JEPA 2, a “world model” designed to help AI agents understand and predict how the physical world works. Trained extensively on video data and some robotic interaction, V-JEPA 2 allows robots to reason about gravity, object movement, and obstacle avoidance, enabling them to “think before they act.” This advancement brings AI…
Scientists looked into whether computer programs like ChatGPT can understand objects in a similar way that people do. They found that these programs, after looking at billions of words and images, learn to group objects together in ways that are remarkably similar to how human brains work. This suggests that these AI models are developing…
