Elon Musk has announced that xai, The artificial intelligence startup founded in 2023 to compete with Openaihas acquired X, the social network previously known as Twitter. As explained, the operation has been closed through a exchange exchange. The assessment. During the last months, much has been speculated on the value of XAI and X, with figures that changed according to the different financing rounds. With this transaction, there is already a clearer reference, at least according to the Musk version: XAI becomes valued at 80,000 million dollars, while X stands at 33,000 million. This last figure amounts to 45,000 million if 12,000 million are added in debt, always according to the businessman himself. {“Videid”: “X8N07SL”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “Elon Musk and his obsession with the letter x that you did not know”, “Tag”: “Webedia-Prod”, “Duration”: “495”} Musk presents Xai as “one of the laboratories of the leaders in the world”, although he is still far from his main rival. Openai reached an assessment of 157,000 million dollars in 2024 And it could reach 300,000 million With the support of SoftBank. Chatgpt It remains the reference, although Xai has updated Grok with functions such as image generation and their own app. What changes with the acquisition? According to Musk, the operation will allow “combining data, models, computer, distribution and talent.” In practice, integration was already evident: Grok was integrated into X for months. What changes is the legal and corporate structure. In Xataka The fever for the chatgpt images is “melting” the OpenAi GPUs: the company has already begun to limit access It will be necessary to see if this restructuring implies offices, transfers or equipment mergers. For now, the impact for users seems minimal. Of course, with Musk in command, everything can change overnight. The promise: offer more intelligent and personalized experiences.

Japan has just found a way to drastically accelerate the construction of train stations: print them in 3D

by

3D impression continues to make way in the world of architecture. After seeing the first houses and even data centers 3D printednow is the turn of rail infrastructure. The latest novelty It arrives from Japanwhere they have already installed a train station built with this technology. According to those responsible, the main advantages against traditional methods are speed and sustainability. As can be seen in the images, we are not facing a station that impresss its size or monumental design. On the contrary: it is a simple, functional and compact construction. At first glance it may seem plastic, but in reality it is printed in concrete. The structure, of less than 10 square meters, is based on several reinforcement bars and has two openings for the passage of passengers. The first 3D printed station in the world The structure was printed a few kilometers and was subsequently transferred in a truck to Hatsushima Station, in the Wakayama Prefecture, about 96 kilometers south of Osaka. There the final assembly was carried out. Naohiro Ohashi, spokesman for Jr West Japan, explained to NHK that “Normally it takes about two months in building a station of this size ”, and that in this case the priority was the speed to complete the work. The assembly of the structure was completed in about two hours with the help of a crane, and all the work ended before the first train departure to Wakayama. The pieces, of several tons, were manipulated by only six operators, including the crane operator. With this experience, the company already has a more precise estimate of the time necessary to install this type of stations, which are part of future projects. From now on, the company will evaluate the profitability of both construction and maintenance. Depending on the performance of this first station, they consider Extend the use of this technology to other locations. They point out that 3D impression facilitates a planned renewal of the railway facilities, especially before the Crecent labor shortage. The objective, they point out, is to move towards a more sustainable rail infrastructure. According to Nikkeithe current building of the Hatsushima station was built in 1948 and currently functions as a station without staff. The oldest structure, larger, showed a remarkable deterioration and its maintenance had become increasingly expensive. Jr West decided to replace it with a new 3D printed version, more adjusted to the actual level of use and also useful to assess the impact of saline air that blows from the sea.

The list of Hurun Millionaires has revealed it

by

The report has just been made public Hurun Global Rich List 2025 that, for 14 years, monitors the Greater fortunes of Asiaand serves as a barometer to know more accurately the financial situation of Chinese millionaires. Hurun’s report this year corroborates what other reports such as’ already showedBillionaire Ambions Report 2024 ‘prepared by the Financial Entity UBS, which shows a 5% increase in the number of billionaires compared to last year. “60% of this year’s billionaires were not on the list ten years ago, demonstrating how wealth creation has changed dramatically with the arrival of new technologies,” say the authors of the report. In addition to the increase in the number of millionaires, the total wealth of these magnates It also grew An impressive 13%, reflecting a positive year for financial markets and certain sectors such as artificial intelligence, financial asset management and entertainment. The importance of Hurun report to understand Chinese wealth If a Chinese millionaire were ‘La Revuelta’David Broncano could not ask his famous question “How much money do you have?“. As They pointed in The worldin Chinese culture, ostentation of wealth not only It is misleading sociallybut you can also get into legal problems due to strict government policiesas published CNN. That is why reports such as Hurun are so valuable, since they analyze the Fortures of Asian millionaires. While in the West the lists of Forbes and Bloomberg are the referents to follow the Evolution of great fortunesthe Hurun list has become the most reliable source to understand the distribution of Wealth in China and other Asian countries. Chinese billionaires: changes and trends According to the Hurun report, Zhang Yiming, 42 and founder of Bytedance (the company behind Tiktok), has crowned as the Rica person in Chinawith an estimated fortune of 60,000 million dollars. To put it in context, Forbes attributed a fortune even greater than 65.5 billion dollars, while Bloomberg approached the estimate of Hurun attributing 57,500 million. In this way, Yiming would have unseat Zhong Shanshan, known as the “King of bottled water“, which happens to take second place with an estimated fortune of 55,000 million dollars. Pony Ma, 54 and founder of Tencent is another of the millionaires who has climbed positions in 2025. Hurun calculates a heritage of 44,000 million dollarswhich is far from the 56.8 billion that calculated the Bloomberg list and 53,800 of the Forbes list. One of the big surprises of this edition of the Hurun report has been given by Robin Zeng Yuqun, founder and president of the CATL battery manufacturer. The battery business has been decisive for the development of the electric car in China, which has made Zeng Yuq a fortune grown 61% in just one year, reaching the 37,000 million dollars. For its part, Colin Huangfounder of Pinduoduo (matrix to which it belongs Temu) has lost two positions to take fifth place among the richest in China. It is estimated that Huang’s heritage amounts to 36,000 million dollarshaving reduced its assets by 32%. The authors of the report highlighted the patrimonial increase of Lei Jun, 56, and founder of Xiaomi, who has increased his fortune by more than 114%. Although it is far from having become the richest man in China, as commented A few weeks agoJun has climbed many positions until he placed himself in the seventh place of the ranking of major fortunes in China with a heritage of 30,000 million dollars. Chinese and American millionaires The Hurun 2025 report reveals that China has 823 billionaires, an increase of nine compared to the previous year. However, by First time in ten years, The United States has surpassed China In the number of billionaires, with 870 ultrarricos, an increase of 70 with respect to the 2024 report. As for the activity sectors, in China the Technology billionaireselectronic commerce and the manufacturing industry. On the other hand, the great fortunes of the United States have forged in the sectors of technology, finance and commerce. The convergence point is found in AI, where the fortunes of US millionaires as Jensen Huang either Sam Altman They have increased considerably for 2024 thanks to their role in this technology, but they find their counterpoint in figures such as Liang Wenfengfounder of Deepseek, who has made stagger the foundations of the AI ​​industry on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

The James Webb has found a galaxy when the universe was 330 million years old. Hide an entire enigma

by

The immense capacity of the James Webb space telescope (JWST) to see the confines of the observable universe also allows us to see how our universe was billions of years ago. Recall that, the finitude of the speed of light implies that what we see further in space is also further in time, which makes JWST a kind of time machine. JADES-GS-Z13-1. The James Webb has detected again the light emitted by a very distant and therefore ancient galaxy. The telescope has captured the appearance of Jades-GS-Z13-1 as was 330 million years after big Bang. So old and distant is that its observation implies a new enigma: the enormous density of the universe in that era should prevent its observation billions of years later. And light was made. The original universe was a dark place. If we go back enough, we will reach an era in which the universe was too dense for the light emanating from its particles to travel the space. The cosmos cooled as it expanded, so, when the photons had space to move around, there were no particles to issue them. The thing changed when hydrogen atoms began to join to form the first stars and galaxies when the universe I was a few million years old. In this long process it is called reionization, a byloys in which hydrogen clouds were reactivated and emitted new light. Even in this context, the universe was dense enough to part of the radiation of these first galaxies was overshadowed by a dense layer of neutral hydrogen. This is the case of Lyman-Alfa or Lyman-α. Redshift 13. The team studied the luminous spectrum of the galaxy to estimate its red shift or Redshift. The expansion of the universe means that, in the long run, the frequency of the light emitted by this galaxy is reduced, that is, the universe, when expanding stretches the electromagnetic waves as if it were a magnet. This causes the visible light to store towards the red tones and to the infrared after long trips. The level at which the light comes “stretched”, its value Redshiftallows us to estimate the distance at which the galaxy is found that the broadcast. The observations made from the JWST Nircam instrument allowed the team estimate value Redshift of 12.9 (either z= 12.9) For this galaxy, but to confirm this value, the team decided to study the complete spectrum through the Nirspec instrument (Near-Infrared Spectrgraph), also aboard the space telescope. It turned out that they were infrastiming their distance, which was closer to z= 13. Lyman-α. However, the spectrum study caused the team to detect something strange in this galaxy, at a specific point of the spectrum, the Lyman-α radiation lamade, a type of electomagnetic emission associated with hydrogen atoms. The broadcast captured by James Webb’s instruments was much more intense than it should according to current cosmological models. The details of the study have been published In an article In the magazine Nature. Two possible explanations. In his article, the team speculate with possible explanations To this anomaly. The first involves the possibility that the stars of the galaxy, which would have been some of the earliest in the universe, would have created a “ionized gas bubble” around the galaxy. This possibility would imply that the primal stars would have been “more massive, hotter and more luminous” than the stars formed in later stages of the universe. This possibility would give us new clues about the enigmatic population of stars known as Population III and that represents precisely these early stars of the universe. The second possibility implies the existence of a supermassive black hole in the center of an active galactic nucleus.

Perseverance has found a very strange rock on Mars. Is covered with spheres and does not fit with its surroundings

by

He Rover Perseverance He has discovered an intriguing rock on Mars. Composed of hundreds of small spheres, NASA scientists They are investigating how it formed. After climbing (Not without difficulties) The edge of the Jezero crater, Perseverance has been exploring a place called Broom Point, where he has seen rocks of different colors. There he took samples of clear stones and discovered a strange texture in a nearby dark rock. Appeared “St. Pauls Bay”, the rock is covered with Timinutas gray spheriessome crushed or games, other perforated, reminiscent of a lot of blueberries. The formation is very peculiar and darker than the environment. It is not the first time that NASA finds strange spheres in Mars. The Opportunity and Curiosity Roversity saw similar formations, nicknamed “Blueberries”, which originated when The planet was full of waterdue to the groundwater, circulating through the rocks. But the Water circulation It is not the only process that can lead to spherules. Also volcanic eruptions or meteorite impacts. The St. Paul’s Bay rock in its surroundings The geological origin of St. Pauls Bay is not clear. It is a floating rock, so it was not in its original position, which suggests that the spheris may not be concretions (particle accumulations). Perseverance team is checking if the Rock fits with The layers observed in the surroundingsa region called Witch Hazel Hill. Discovering the origin of these tiny spheres could help NASA to unravel the Geological history of the area. If it belongs, like other Jezero rocks, at the NOEICA age, it is an exceptional witness of the primary cortex of Mars more than 3.7 billion years ago. In addition to Find past life cluesPerseverance tries to understand how Mars became an inhospitable and cold planet of little atmosphere, something that could also happen with the earth in a few million years.

A direct response to the technological pulse with the United States

by

The European Union begins to move with greater decision so as not to be left behind in the race for artificial intelligence (AI), where the United States and China mark the rhythm. A little over a month ago, the European Commission announced an investment of 150,000 million euros with that goal. Now, it takes a new step focused on reinforcing its technological sovereignty in key sectors, with a new investment of 1.3 billion euros. The objective of investment. The initiative seeks to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence in companies and public administrations, also reinforcing the capacities in cloud services and cybercraft. In Brussels they leave no doubt: they consider this technology as critical and strategic for the future of Europe and its digital sovereignty. Therefore, it is included within the Europe Digital (Digital) Program For the 2025-2027 period. Thus the investment will be divided. It has not been detailed how many millions will receive each area, but it has been defined how the budget will be distributed. Experiment with immersive environments, called “virtual worlds”, apply the AI ​​law and develop common data spaces with an efficient approach to energy consumption. Strengthen the European Digital Innovation Centers (EDIH) to facilitate the adoption of artificial intelligence in companies and public administrations. Promote the Destination Earth project, which seeks to build a digital model of the planet to support disaster risk management and adaptation to climate change. Strengthen cybersecurity capabilities, including the development of the EU cybersecurity reserve. Promote the training and attraction of talent in digital competences from educational centers and professional training. Display the new EU digital identity portfolio and its trust infrastructure, and foster its adoption in the Member States. Accelerate the digitalization of the public sector through the development of interoperable, efficient and high quality services. Open call. The European Commission will open in April 2025 the first calls of the new Digital Europewith others planned throughout the year. The bases will be available in the EU Official Financing Portal, and will allow to present projects focused on generative artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, virtual worlds, digital public services and European digital identity, among others. These calls do not distribute funds without more: they are competitive processes where interested entities must submit concrete proposals, with clear objectives and detailed execution plans. If the project convinces, you can receive financing for its development, implementation and application in real life. So the specific recipients of the 1.3 billion euros announced today have not yet been defined. Towards a lower foreign dependence. As collected The Europe Digital Program page“The important thing is that Europe does not depend on systems and solutions from other regions of the world.” In that line, the European Commission has been promoting different strategic initiatives to strengthen its technological autonomy. One of them is the Chips Lawcreated to deal with the scarcity of semiconductors. And what about regulation? The European Union was positioned as a world pioneer by being the first to regulate artificial intelligence, But criticism soon arrived. Several experts warned that a regulatory framework could stop innovation, just at a time when Europe competes with giants such as the United States and China. French president himself, Emmanuel Macron, described the rules of the block as “punitive” and demanded a more competitive strategy to boost a European AI. At the end of last year, shortly before starting his second term at the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen He acknowledged that European startups They face a clear disadvantage against their American counterparts, and proposed new measures to close that gap. It will be necessary to see if these efforts give results and allow the old continent to position themselves better in the career for artificial intelligence, technological development and the long -awaited digital sovereignty.

A user bought a state -of -the -art connected dishwasher. There began his nightmare

by

“I will not connect my dishwasher to your stupid cloud.” That has been The declaration of intentions From Jeff Geerling, a well -known YouTuber, after buying a new household appliance. It is something that we are living for years: the condemnation of the products that force us to spy on everything they do because if they do not work as they should theoretically. Premieving dishwasher. This week Geerling explained in his blog and also In a video on YouTube How he bought a new dishwasher from the Bosch brand. Specifically, one of the 500 series, because I had seen it recommended in Consumer Reports, a well -known organization of consumers and users in the US. After the installation the surprise came: I could not turn it on and put it to work without more. Wi-Fi and Mandatory Online Account. When trying to start it and start a clarified cycle, Geerling realized that he could not activate that option. After reading the manual he knew why. I needed to do two things first. The first, connect your dishwasher to your domestic wi-fi network. The second, create an account in the Bosch Home Connect service, which would allow you to access the option of clarified and some additional options, such as ecological or medium load mode. I could not even use the basic options via Bluetooth for example: it had to connect it to the Wi-Fi network and create the account yes or yes. If you want screen, it’s time to pay more. The dishwasher that bought this youtuber is a model that costs around $ 1,000. In spite of this – or precisely because of that – it did not have physical buttons, and the controls are tactile and are at the dishwasher door when opening it. There is also no screen that allows you to know how much time it remains for the washing cycle to end, for example. The upper series, the Bosch 800, do have that screen, but there is to pay $ 400. Why do I need a dishwasher app? As Geerling indicated, a local application with some type of direct wireless connection – but without connection to the outside or the rest of the local network devices – could make sense, but this did not have it. That you have to control virtually all the options and information of your washing machine mandatory through an app and a Wi-Fi connection was absurd according to your opinion. “I don’t need internet in my dishwasher,” he said. Few and bad options. This YouTuber is a technology expert and is accustomed to finding solutions to these types of problems. He talked about how maybe I could not use those advanced options, but if you spend $ 1,000 in a dishwasher it seems like not strange not to be able to use them. He also thought of using a VLAN network for IoT devices (a separate and isolated network). Nor hack it compensates too much. There is even an even more technical option, because someone has made reverse engineering of the Bosch protocol and has created a HCPY protocol To control these dishwashers without the manufacturer being able to do anything. However, that would force him to devote several more hours to putting everything in motion and all he wanted was to be able to use his dishwasher in a simple way. And he could return the appliance, but he had also invested time and effort to install it at home. A dishwasher should not connect to the Internet. For Geerling Bosch’s strategy is an absolute mistake. Among other things because if you depend on an application and a cloud service to use your dishwasher, Bosch will have to manage and maintain that service, which means two things: either they are selling the data of your use of the appliance, or will end up closing the service or migrating it to be a subscription service, something that has passed in similar scenarios. And a potential security hole. But it is also that a dishwasher is part of your domestic network opens another potential attack vector. If someone manages to find vulnerability in Bosch dishwasher, they will have access to the rest of your local area network. That It has also happened. Not onebut several times. Not everything needs to be connected. Geerling’s conclusion – with which we agree – is that IoT appliances and products should be designed with a maximum: first that they work at home, and then, if perhaps, they work in the cloud as something optional. This dishwasher is an example of a trend that can make sense in some areas, but not of course in this concrete. Image | Jeff Geerling In Xataka | We are running out of “dumb” appliances.

We just needed AI and satellite images

by

The last year exceeded all expectations Regarding the installation of renewable energy. However, until now we did not have a clear visual image of this phenomenon, but only with data to make comparisons. Now we can access that panoramic. Short. The project GLOBAL RENEWABLE Watch It consists of a map created from satellite images and artificial intelligence models to show the expansion of solar and wind energy. The initiative has been developed by Microsoft AI for Good Lab, in collaboration with The Nature Conservancy and Planet Labs PBC. In addition, Cornell University He has participated in the validation of the project. The operation. The program itself has explained that they can identify, thanks to the AI, where it is more viable to install renewable projects, considering factors such as the availability of long -term land, the electrical infrastructure of all countries and the environmental impact. In addition, the Public Platform information in Github and uses an open source approach to guarantee transparency. Accelerated growth. In a quick look at the program, it shows that energy has advanced at an unprecedented rate. In it we can see something that We already knew: China leads the installed capacity of solar and wind energy, with large projects that extend throughout the country with a capacity of 632,859.61 MW. This data is quite significant because in the data collected in the fourth quarter of 2017 it had 270,827.59MW, exceeding 133.68%. Well below, but with a significant number it is the United States that is located with 285,974.11MW, exceeding 126.63%. The data show a considerable increase in the American country, but with Trump’s policies It seems that they will be maintained In that amount. For its part, in the case of the European Union, the most prominent case is Germany with 60,042.53MW, but its data at the beginning of data collection were not so low: 38,151.75MW. In fact, the case of Germany was expected by The rise of self -consumption with more than 500,000 solar panels installed on the balconies. Spain’s capacity in solar and wind energy And Spain? It is the next country that follows the EU. The data shown by the Atlas are of the second quarter of 2024, which reveal that the energy capacity in megawatts is 54,068.67 exceeding 127.93% the capacity of the fourth quarter of 2017. In addition, solar energy is the source that More has increased In the same time parameter, achieving more than 254.55%. There are still things to polish. One of the main challenges is the handling of large volumes of data, since the platform processes the terabytes of satellite image and thousands of predictions related to solar and wind energy. In addition, for the data to be reliable, it requires a constant validation of the AI ​​algorithms.

AI is a great black box that prevented us from knowing how “I thought” inside. Until now

by

AI do not have No idea what he says Not why he says it. When he responds almost everything makes sense – even his legs of legs – but he only seems to us, because the machines do not understand what they do. They simply do. We do not know how the IAS think inside, but that seems to be able to change soon. Opening the black box. Those responsible for Anthropiccreator of the chatbot Claude, They affirm having made an important discovery that will begin to understand how the LLM work. These models work as large black boxes: we know what we give them starting (a prompt) and what we get as a result, but it is still a mystery what happens within that “black box” and how the models end up generating the content they generate. Why it is important to know how “think” the AI. The inscrutability of AI models generates important problems. For example, it makes it difficult to anticipate If they “hallucinate” or make mistakesand why they have committed them. Precisely knowing how they work inside would allow better to understand those incorrect responses to correct these problems and improve the behavior of these models. Safer, more reliable. Knowing why the IAS do what they do as they do would also be crucial to be able to trust us much more. These models would therefore allow many more guarantees in areas such as the privacy and protection of the data, something that can be a barrier for companies to use. And reasoning models, what. The appearance of models such as O1 or Deepseek R1 has allowed that during these “reasoning” processes the AI ​​apparently shows what you are doing at all times. That list of minitareas that is completing (“searching the web”, “analyzing the information”, etc.) are useful, but the so -called “chain of thought” does not really reflect how our requests are processing these models. How does Claude calculate how much are 36+59? The mechanism is not entirely clear, but in Anthropic they begin to decipher it. Source: Anthropic. Deciphering how AI thinks. Anthropic experts have created a tool that tries to decipher that black box. It is something like magnetic resonance scannars that study the human brain and allow to detect which brain regions play their role in certain cognitive areas. Long -term responses. Although models such as Claude are trained to predict the following word in a sentence, in some tasks it seems that Claude makes a kind of longer term planning of the task. For example, if we ask you to write a poem Claude you first find words that fit the theme of the poem and then go back to create the phrases that will generate the verses and rhymes of the poem. A language to think, many to translate. Although Claude has multi -mounted support, Anthropic experts reveal that their operation by handling several languages ​​is not “thinking” in those languages ​​directly. Instead use concepts that are common in several languages, so It seems to “reason” in the same language and then translate the exit to the desired language. The models cheat. That research also revealed that the models They can lie about what they are doing And they can even pretend that they are thinking when they really already have the answer to our request. One of Claude’s developers, Josh Batson, explained how “although (the model) claims to have made a calculation, our interpretability techniques do not reveal any indication that it has occurred.” How Anthropic’s deciphering works. The Anthropic method makes use of the call Cross-Layer Transcoder (CLT) that works analyzing interpretable sets instead of trying to analyze individual “neurons”. For example, these characteristics could be all conjugations of a specific verb. That allows researchers to identify complete “circuits” of neurons that tend to join in these processes. A good start. In the past OpenAi already tried to discover How their AI models thoughtbut it was not very successful. Anthropic’s work has notable limitations, and for example he does not know why the LLM pay more attention to certain parts of the Prompt than others. Even so, according to Batson “in a year or two we will know more about how these models think about what people think.” In Xataka | Universal Music has just stumbled against Anthropic by Copyright: a victory for AI technology

Bill Gates does not believe that doctors and teachers have a future

by

Bill Gates has led the technological scene for enough time to know see a disruptive change When you have it in front: AI is one of those changes. In an interview on the occasion of the launch of his new book ‘Sources Code: My beginnings‘, the millionaire has assured that the AI ​​of the future will no longer need human intervention in certain tasks such as the Disease diagnosis or education. It will not be in the short term, but it will be Bill Gates has repeatedly shared his vision of artificial intelligence in different interviews, the last in a recent interview during the program The Tonight Show presented by Jimmy Fallon. During the interview, in addition to remembering the anecdote in which Steve Jobs incredp LSD to improve your productsGates said that AI will have such a significant impact on people’s lives, that humans “will not be necessary for most things.” Although this statement could sound somewhat dystopian and alarming, Gates emphasized that the key is how we use AI to improve our lives instead of fearing it, something that He had already explainedin one of the entries in his personal blog. The millionaire recognized that, at present, the use of AI is still “rare and very expensive”, pointing to those fields, such as medicine or teaching, where assistance It is still closely linked to human specialists In those fields. “With AI, during the next decade, that will become free and usual. It is a very deep change because it solves all those specific problems, such as we do not have enough doctors, mental health professionals. But it brings many changes,” said the founder of Microsoft. Something that already advanced in 2023 in an interview with Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy, For your podcast ‘Unconfuse Me ‘. Gates clarified that there will be certain activities that humans are going to want to continue doing, such as playing (and seeing) football or humans matches, but there will be other activities in which AI will end up being more efficient than humans and, therefore, they will be abandoned, explained to Jimmy Fallon. The general will be the great transformative leap In the interview that Bill Gates keptWith Arthur Brooks at Harvard University, the millionaire stressed How AI can expand human capacities in areas such as education, health and work. According to Gates, those best human capabilities assisted by AIthey will contribute to accelerate technological advances causing their development curve to be faster and, therefore, reach the majority of users at a very low price. “It is something very deep and even a little scary, because it is happening very fast and there is no upper limit,” Gates explained to Brooks during his interview. Gates believes thatin the first instance, it will be the agents of AI who will change the way in which we interact with AI, becoming specialists in very specific tasks. This was told to Aria Finger and Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn in An interview for your podcast ‘Possible ‘. For example, a duly trained AI agent could help students and workers to develop skills more quickly through personalized learning tools to each student. However, Gates considers that AI, as we know it today, has the days counted. The next great jump is the General Artificial Intelligencethat is closer to Concept of human intelligence. Mustafa Suleyman, Executive Director of Artificial Intelligence of Microsoft and, according to Bill Gates, One of the most vision voices On the future of AI, it aligns with the prediction of Gates in that the current AI and the AI ​​agents are only one Intermediate step towards the great revolution which will mean the arrival of the general AI. “These tools will only temporarily increase human intelligence. They will make us smarter and more efficient for a while, and will generate enormous economic growth, but they are mainly replacing labor,” said Suleyman in his book ‘The coming wave: technology, power and the great dilemma of the 21st century. Gates assured in his interview with Fallon that “there will be some things that we reserve (to make humans). But in terms of producing, transporting and Cultivate foodover time those problems will be practically solved, “Gates said.
