Beyond Moore’s law: specialised processors and modular chips

Task-specific computing is driving a hardware renaissance now that we can no longer rely on Moore’s law to solve our problems.

InfinityQ’s quantum-inspired technology uses the power of quantum computing while avoiding the difficult scaling problems.

Fixating on building AI that automates and imitates people stifles true progress. But we can change the rules and do better.

AI could consume as much electricity as The Netherlands by 2027. New research warns we should use the technology only where it’s really needed.

Technological change seems the result of some natural and inevitable evolutionary process – but it’s not. It’s a choice.

New research suggests that generative AI has the potential to speed up diagnosis and reduce waiting times in the emergency department.

Digital hugs can provide comfort and connection – but only if delivered with digital tact. Researchers present a framework.

An intelligent machine knows it can’t complete its objective if switched off. So, serving the coffee has a subgoal: avoid being switched off.
