To Build a Better AI Supercomputer, Let There Be Light

GlobalFoundries, a company that makes chips for others, including AMD and General Motors, previously announced a partnership with Lightmatter. Harris says his company is “working with the largest semiconductor companies in the world as well as the hyperscalers,” referring to the largest cloud companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google.If Lightmatter or another company can reinvent the wiring of giant AI projects, a key bottleneck in the development of smarter algorithms might fall away. The use of more computation was fundamental to the advances that led to ChatGPT, and many AI researchers see the further scaling-up of hardware as being crucial to future advances in the field—and to hopes of ever reaching the vaguely-specified goal of artificial general intelligence, or AGI, meaning pro...

Supreme Court’s Chief Justice Focuses Year-End Report on AI

Chief Justice John Roberts focused his year-end report squarely on technology, avoiding discussion of the ethics questions that dogged the Supreme Court in 2023 and the flurry of election cases approaching the docket to discuss the promise and perils of artificial intelligence for the federal judiciary.“As 2023 draws to a close with breathless predictions about the future of Artificial Intelligence, some may wonder whether judges are about to become obsolete,” Roberts wrote in his annual report, which typically includes an essay regarding an issue involving the court system along with statistics on the federal judiciary’s workload. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Elon Musk and Italy’s Giorgia Meloni Form a Trans-Atlantic Bond

ROME—Elon Musk and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni have formed one of 2023’s more unlikely trans-Atlantic alliances.Behind their budding friendship lie common interests in political issues such as immigration and demographics, as well as in tech-sector regulation and the risks associated with artificial intelligence.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Generative AI Learned Nothing From Web 2.0

If 2022 was the year the generative AI boom started, 2023 was the year of the generative AI panic. Just over 12 months since OpenAI released ChatGPT and set a record for the fastest-growing consumer product, it appears to have also helped set a record for fastest government intervention in a new technology. The US Federal Elections Commission is looking into deceptive campaign ads, Congress is calling for oversight into how AI companies develop and label training data for their algorithms, and the European Union passed its new AI Act with last-minute tweaks to respond to generative AI.But for all the novelty and speed, generative AI’s problems are also painfully familiar. OpenAI and its rivals racing to launch new AI models are facing problems that have dogged social platforms, that earli...

AI and Journalism Need Each Other

In the Associated Press newsroom a decade ago, I witnessed the birth of a new era: AI penning news. Before artificial intelligence rose to its current prominence, it wasn’t tech luminaries but journalists at AP who floated the audacious idea of machines taking up editorial roles. As I watched lines of code spin stories, a thought nagged at me: Weren’t stories meant to be earned, not generated?Fast-forward to today, and this once-controversial shift has proved revolutionary for AP and many other organizations. Tackling two monumental challenges in journalism—covering an ever-expanding breadth of news and overcoming the limits of human capacity—AI has reshaped the industry. AI enabled AP to broaden its quarterly financial reporting from 400 companies to 4,000. This had ripple effects: Stanf...

Startups Are Using AI to Predict Responses to Cancer Drugs

Dec. 28, 2023 12:01 pm ET|WSJ ProBiomedical startups are using artificial intelligence to predict the response patients will have to cancer treatments, aiming to increase the success of drugs in clinical trials and tailor therapies to individuals.As data accumulate from clinical trials and fields such as gene and protein research, AI is helping scientists sift through large volumes of information to uncover signatures that correlate with response—or resistance—to treatment. Startups are using it to predict which drugs are likely to work in clinical studies and create tests to help doctors choose treatments.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
