Let’s tell you what it is and what it offers OpenAI Academya web portal for the creators of ChatGPT with many free resources to help you learn how to use the artificial intelligence. It has practical tools and resources for users of all profiles, so you can learn how to use AI effectively and responsibly. Just as Anthropic has a series of free courses for ClaudeOpenAI opts for a different format. They are not courses in themselves, but rather a content and community platform including videos, articles, guides and live events. Although if you are looking for courses, we will also tell you about the two created by OpenAI. What is OpenAI Academy OpenAI Academy is a digital platform created by OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT and one of those leading the artificial intelligence revolution for consumers. In it they centralize training resourcesto improve AI knowledge. The intention of this platform is to try help all types of users with various types of profiles. In it you will find content from people without any knowledge who want to take their first steps in AI to other types of professionals who want help to optimize their work in a specific sector using AI. Therefore, it is used to learn but also to specialize with the use of AI in certain areas. They do all this with a combination of online events, workshops, and other digital content. The idea is to be able to go from the fundamentals of AI literacy to its advanced integration when you are a developer. The platform is completely freealthough it will require you to register to access some of its content. Unlike other platforms such as Anthropic’s training platform, it is not a place for courses, but instead combines online resources thematic communities and all kinds of training tools. What OpenAI Academy offers The OpenAI platform offers various types of content. First of all, you have online or in-person training eventswhich are talks scheduled for a specific day or time. These talks are given by specialist educators, and anyone who wants can sign up to attend. And then we have a contents section, where you will find videos, resources, blog posts and external content. These are all resources aimed at helping users learn and better understand how to use artificial intelligence in different areas. All of these contents are served for different types of people. You’ll be able to find things for basic users like educators, OT workers, government or non-profit organizations, small businesses, students, healthcare workers, administrators and more. You will also find publications designed to teach you or suggest you Custom GPTs, prompt packs, advanced features and more. In short, all the resources to master ChatGPT to the fullest, categorized by tags and their type of content. And finally, you will also find an open communities section aimed at different types of users. These communities are like specific forums where you will also find content aimed at them and you can interact with other users. The only drawback you are going to encounter is that all contents are only in English. Therefore, if you are a Spanish-speaking user who does not master this language, you will not be able to enjoy them too much. They plan to expand the academy to other languages, but at the moment there are no specific dates. Courses with official certification Lastly, OpenAI also has two own courses with official certification. The only problem is that the courses are not within this platform. Instead, one of them is taught by ChatGPT for some users and the other is on a third-party platform. AI Foundations: A certification course for workers in any sector or industry. Not yet available to all usersbut only for certain people, but when it is, it will be taught directly within ChatGPT with the chatbot itself acting as the teacher. ChatGPT Foundations for Teachers: Course aimed at primary and secondary education teachers, to teach them the fundamentals of ChatGPT and to be able to customize it and use it in their work. It’s on Courseraand will soon be integrated into ChatGPT for Teachers.

Tell Applied Materials and its fine of 252 million

by

For years, the call United States Entity List It has been interpreted as a geopolitical tool aimed at slowing Chinese technological advance. However, its scope does not remain symbolic or diplomatic rhetoric: it also has immediate economic consequences for companies that operate in the global chip chain. Applied Materials just proved it with a civil penalty of $252 million linked to exports to SMIC, in an episode that illustrates the extent to which Washington’s controls can translate into tangible costs for the industry. The sanction. The move follows an agreement with the US Department of Commerce to close allegations of irregular exports of semiconductor manufacturing equipment to subsidiaries of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC). According to the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), between November 2020 and July 2022, there were 56 exports or attempted exports valued at around $126 million, carried out even though certain operations were already subject to licensing requirements. The agreed civil fine amounts to double that figure and, according to the Department of Commerce itself, represents the legal maximum applicable in this case. behind the scenes. The regulatory sequence begins with a specific notification sent to Applied Materials on September 25, 2020, which warned that certain operations related to SMIC were subject to licensing control for reasons of possible military end uses. These types of communications, known as “is-informed” letters, informed the receiving company that it needed authorization for certain exports, re-exports or transfers. What exports are in question. The US regulator’s research focuses on ion implantation systems and associated modules, tools used in the early phases of the semiconductor manufacturing process to modify, through doping, the electrical properties of silicon. Although it is not machinery as visible as advanced lithography, its role is essential in multiple technological nodes, both mature and cutting-edge. The logistical scheme under analysis. The case documentation includes a fragmented production and shipping model which involved several jurisdictions before final delivery in China. Part of the equipment originated in the United States, continued its process in South Korea and ended up in SMIC subsidiaries, while certain modules traveled from Singapore independently. BIS presents this journey as a central element to reconstruct the operations examined and evaluate whether the export control framework was respected throughout the chain. Conditions beyond the fine. The agreement reached is not limited to financial payment. The order includes a denial of export privileges suspended for three years, which could be activated if the company fails to comply with established obligations, along with the requirement for periodic external audits and annual certifications of compliance. The message. The resolution not only closes an administrative file, it also offers a broader reading about the moment the global technology industry is going through. The export control policies promoted by Washington are showing their ability to transfer strategic decisions to the operational terrain of companies, with measurable financial and regulatory consequences.

Our conversations with Claude were untouchable. Today the urgency of data presses to make them raw materials of the AI

by

We usually talk to artificial intelligence as if I were one more person and sometimes we trust very personal information. However, we rarely stop to think about what happens to those conversations. Until now, the standard in good part of the sector had been to use them to train models, unless the user opposed. Anthropic represented an exception: Claude He had an explicit policy not to use the conversations of his private clients for this purpose. That exception has just broken. The reason is direct and forceful: the data is the raw material of the AI. Anthropic has just announced in his official blog An update of its service conditions for consumers and their privacy policy. The users of the Free, Pro and Max plans, including the sessions in Claude Code, must explicitly accept or reject that their conversations are used for the training of future models. The company set the deadline until September 28, 2025 and warned that, after that date, it will be necessary to choose the preference to continue using Claude. The Anthropic turn. The modification does not affect everyone equally: services subject to commercial terms are left out, such as Claude for Work, Claude Gov, Claude for Education, or access by API through third parties such as Amazon Bedrock or VerTex Ai from Google Cloud. Anthropic states that the new configuration will only apply to chats and code sessions initiated or retaken after accepting the conditions, and that old conversations without additional activity will not be used to train models. It is a relevant operational distinction: change acts on future activity. Why this change? Anthropic points out that all language models “train using large amounts of data” and that real interactions offer valuable signals to improve capacities such as reasoning or code correction. At the same time, several specialists have been pointing to a structural problem: The open web is running out as a fresh and easily accessible source of informationso that companies look for new data paths to sustain the continuous improvement of the models. In that context, user conversations acquire strategic value. Although Anthropic emphasizes security (improving Claude and reinforcing safeguards against harmful uses, such as scams and abuses), the decision probably also responds to competition: OpenAi and Google remain references in the field and require large volumes of interaction to advance. Without enough data, the distances in the AI ​​race that we are witnessing live can increase. Five years instead of thirty days. Next to the training permit, Anthropic has expanded the retention period for shared data for improvement purposes: five years if the user agrees to participatecompared to 30 days that govern if that option is not activated. The company also specifies that the eliminated chats will not be included in future training and that the feedback Envoy can also be kept. It also states that it combines automated processes and tools to filter or obfuscate sensitive information that does not sell user data to third parties.

We have just created a new unconventional superconductor by combining materials that are not superconductors

by

Since the discovery of superconductivity does something more than a centurymaterials with these types of characteristics have obsessed physicists. It is no wonder, since it is one of the more exotic phenomenabut also with enormous practical potential. The reason? They are materials that, when under certain temperature conditions, conduct electricity without resisting. Since there is no resistance, there is no loss of energy, but they also have other peculiarities such as “Meissner effect” which eliminates the flux of the magnetic field inside a magnet, allowing it to levitate above a superconductor. The problem is that conventional superconductors show their ‘superpowers’ at extremely low temperatures, requiring liquid helium to cool. That is why the scientific community has spent decades exploring the world of unconventional superconductors. They are those based on iron, some heavy metals and organic materials, many of them with complex crystalline structures and unusual electronic properties, but the most important thing is that the critical temperature is higher. And that is precisely what they have uncovered researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University. New unconventional superconductor By combining zirconium with different proportions of iron and nickel, researchers have been able to create a new superconductor that features a dome-shaped phase diagram. This means that it is a non-conventional superconductor, which implies that, to appreciate its potential, it is not necessary to lower the temperature extremely with liquid helium, but rather with liquid nitrogen. Superconductor structure It still requires a low critical temperature, but it is easier to maintain this temperature with liquid nitrogen. Furthermore, what is really relevant is that, for the first time, it has been demonstrated that a polycrystalline alloy of iron, nickel and zirconium has superconducting properties, something that neither iron nor nickel zirconide, which are not superconductors in crystalline form, have. . This advance is interesting because understanding and studying the unconventional superconductors It is crucial in order to push the temperature limit at which they can operate without losing their faculties, facilitating their arrival in practical applications such as advanced electronic devices, transport systems or superconducting cables. Furthermore, understanding the mechanisms behind unconventional superconductivity can lead to the discovery of superconducting materials at room temperature. This is the current goal of physics and it is something that we have been researching for yearssince it would be quite a revolution transmit electricity and energy without loss and without having to dissipate heat. The applications of room temperature superconductivity are immense. For example, facilitating the creation of nuclear fusion reactorselectric motors and any type of electrical system much more efficient. Also, accelerate quantum computing, particle accelerators, energy storage in superconducting coils, magnetic levitation devices or the possibility of transmitting electricity immediately, even with sources very far from cities. And steps have been taken in this regard, such as the superconductor that could operate at a comfortable 14.5 degrees Celsius. The problem with this superconductor was that it needed a pressure of 39 million psi, which would be equivalent, more or less, to 2.65 million times normal atmospheric pressure. An outrage, wow, but the good thing is that the industry is dedicated to evolving these unconventional superconductors and it seems that they are getting closer to being useful on a daily basis. Of course, there is still a way to go. Images | Eurekalert, Julien Bobroff In Xataka | This magnetic field experiment shatters all records. And in the process paves the way to nuclear fusion
