Collaborations between NASA and private, non-federal partners play a crucial role in advancing scientific research and technological innovation. One such collaboration is between NASA’s Interagency Implementation and Advanced Concepts Team (IMPACT) and International Business Machines (IBM). This partnership has led to the development of INDUS, a comprehensive suite of large language models (LLMs) specifically designed

In a collaborative effort between an Oregon State University doctoral student, Eric Slyman, and researchers at Adobe, a new training technique for artificial intelligence systems has been developed to address the issue of social bias. The method, named FairDeDup, focuses on removing redundant information from training data to make AI systems less socially biased. The

Siemens, the German industrial giant, is embarking on a journey to transform the area of Berlin known as Siemensstadt, where the company thrived before the war. The ambitious urban development project, Siemensstadt Square, is set to breathe new life into the district, offering new living spaces for thousands of people and creating thousands of jobs.

Vision loss and visual impairment have long been significant concerns for human well-being, especially amongst the aging population. Researchers from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and The University of Waterloo have come together to create a revolutionary device that utilizes Augmented Reality (AR) technology to improve navigation for visually impaired individuals. Led by Prof.

As electronics continue to advance at a rapid pace, the demand for more efficient and high-performing transistors has never been greater. Silicon-based transistors, although widely used, come with inherent limitations that hinder their performance. This has led electronics engineers and materials scientists to explore alternative materials that could potentially revolutionize the field of electronics. One

A recent cyberattack on CDK Global, a major software provider for car dealerships in North America, has brought chaos to the industry. Hackers, believed to be based in eastern Europe, have demanded tens of millions of dollars in ransom from CDK Global. Despite the company’s intention to make the payment, the situation remains fluid and

As AI chip giant Nvidia continues to dominate the market and experience unprecedented success, the question arises whether new players can compete in the rapidly growing field of artificial intelligence.
