The University of California, Berkeley and CITRIS and the Banatao Institute are harnessing the power of AI to tackle some of California's most pressing challenges. From preventing wildfires and reducing traffic congestion to advancing healthcare and addressing homelessness, UC researchers are leveraging artificial intelligence to drive impactful solutions. This initiative exemplifies our commitment to innovation, ethical AI use, and improving the lives of all Californians. Learn more about how AI is making a difference at UC: California has problems. AI can help solve them #AI #Innovation #UCResearch #California #TechnologyForGood https://lnkd.in/gHJ5UckE

Throughout the University of California system, researchers are embracing AI technologies. UC has always been known for its contributions to science and the groundbreaking solutions these innovations bring to California. Now, with #AI tools like Natural Language Processing (#NLP) and Machine Learning (#ML) available to help process vast amounts of data, the path to solving California's problems — and the world's — is shortened. UC highlights some of the most impactful projects researchers are working on right now across multiple campuses — from transportation and homelessness to food and health to wildfires and biodiversity. We're happy to have AIFS researcher, Christine Diepenbrock, featured for her work at University of California, Davis aimed at growing more and better food with fewer resources. Dr. Diepenbrock uses AI to help predict the best molecular breeding combinations to create more climate-resistant and nutritious food. This article highlights her work to boost levels of provitamin A carotenoids in maize. More nutritious maize helps address vitamin A deficiency among populations who depend on the crop as a dietary staple. #innovation #artificialintelligence #california

When A Job Is A Hobby, and a Dopamine-Maximizing AI Programs Kids What the World's Richest Man Says About AI Makes One Sit Up and Think! In a CNN report on Thursday, May 23, 2024, Elon Musk, the World's Richest Man and Tech Geek, loudly rings the bell on AI. "Elon Musk says artificial intelligence will take all our jobs, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. “Probably none of us will have a job,” Musk said about AI at a tech conference on Thursday. “If you want to do a job that’s kinda like a hobby, you can do a job,” Musk said. “But otherwise, AI and the robots will provide any goods and services that you want.” Musk is outspoken about his concerns about AI. During the keynote on Thursday, he called the technology his biggest fear. He cited the 'Culture Book Series' by Ian Banks, a utopian fictionalized look at a society run by advanced technology, as the most realistic and “the best envisioning of a future AI.” He used stage time to urge parents to limit the amount of social media children can see because “they’re being programmed by a dopamine-maximizing AI.” Will human hubris take us in a direction where we program robots "so well" that robots outsmart human beings?

"Elon Musk"__ says that the most likely scenario is that AI and robots will eventually replace almost all human labor, but he assures us that it’s probably a good thing. Musk spoke remotely during an interview at the Viva Technology 2024 event in Paris. He said a benign outcome where AI doesn’t destroy humanity is the most likely outcome, offering odds of 80% of this happening. He said that the natural progression would be that AI and robots would become so advanced that eventually, “Probably none of us will have a job.” In this utopic scenario, Musk says that we won’t simply have a universal basic income. Musk expects that governments would provide citizens with a universal high income. Musk said that in the long term, advancements in AI and robotics will mean that “any job a person is doing would be optional” and would be more of a hobby than out of necessity. “But otherwise, AI and the robots will provide any goods and services that you want,” he added. What is my purpose? While that may sound good, he said that in a future where humans no longer need to work we’ll be faced with some existential questions. “If the computer and robot can do everything better than you, then does your life have meaning?” Musk mused. Musk says that as humans, our contribution to society may be to provide meaning, or purpose to AI. He explained that in our brains, the cortex is responsible for thinking and planning, while the limbic system is responsible for feelings and instinct. The cortex is always trying to make the limbic system happy. In a future where AI takes over the thinking and planning roles, it might also assume the role of making the human limbic system happy. Human happiness could be what gives AI meaning and purpose. Neuralink Musk also spoke about his Neuralink project, which has had impressive results along with a few snags with its first human test subject. He explained that the ultimate goal of Neuralink is to have it evolve into a high-bandwidth interface to “mitigate the risk of digital superintelligence.” Musk sees the comparatively slow rate of human communication as a challenge to keeping a future AI superintelligence aligned. If AI and robots will be doing all the work for us, Musk sees Neuralink as a way to speed up the way we communicate with them by orders of magnitude. He didn’t offer a timeline on when we would be able to kick back and let the robots do our jobs for us but he’s mostly sure that it will work out to humanity’s benefit.

We're developing artificial neural networks to reverse-engineer how the brain sees, thinks, and controls movement, with the goal of creating brain-inspired algorithms for autonomous robot control. #neuroscience #AI #neuroAI #compneuro Toronto Rehabilitation Institute University of Toronto University Health Network

Google DeepMind unveils virtual rat with artificial brain Breakthrough sees computerized creature accurately mimic movements of a real rodent A breakthrough in artificial intelligence (AI) research by Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. Google DeepMind's researchers have created an artificial brain that can learn and adapt like a rat's brain. The AI system, called "RatBrain," is designed to mimic the neural connections and behavior of a rat's brain, allowing it to learn and adapt in a more human-like way. The researchers used a combination of machine learning algorithms and neural networks to create #RatBrain. The system is capable of learning and adapting to new situations, much like a rat would in a maze. The implications of this technology are significant, as it could potentially be used to improve AI systems in areas such as: 1. Robotics: #RatBrain could be used to create more intelligent and adaptable robots that can learn and adapt to new situations. 2. Healthcare: The technology could be used to develop more accurate and personalized treatments for neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. 3. Autonomous vehicles: #RatBrain could be used to improve the decision-making abilities of autonomous vehicles, allowing them to adapt to new situations and environments. #ai #artificialintelligence #deepmind #RatBrain https://lnkd.in/epsjBVsm
