A Group of Harvard Researchers Aim to Understand A.I.’s Learning Process

1 week ago | observer.com | Victor Dey

For years, A.I. has been considered a “black box” technology, whose inner workings remain largely mysterious even to its creators because the system is supposed to “learn” itself. But a group of Harvard researchers are on a quest to find out exactly how A.I. learns. At a conference in San Francisco last week, Japanese IT services company NTT Group launched the Physics of Artificial Intelligence (PAI) Group, based at Harvard University’s Center for Brain Science.

Artificial intelligence has transformed how companies process data and make decisions—but Silicon Valley’s biggest players are already chasing what could be the next technological breakthrough: quantum computing. Unlike AI, which accelerates existing processes, quantum computing promises to unlock entirely new capabilities, from simulating molecules for drug discovery to solving problems far beyond the reach of today’s fastest supercomputers.

A inteligência artificial já transformou a forma como empresas processam dados e tomam decisões. Mas os maiores nomes do Vale do Silício estão de olho no que pode ser o próximo grande avanço tecnológico: a computação quântica, celebrada neste dia 14. A data do Dia da Computação Quântica foi escolhida em referência a um dos pilares da física quântica, a constante de Planck – aproximadamente 4,14 x 10⁻¹⁵ eV·s (lembrando que, na grafia de datas em inglês, o mês vem antes do dia, por isso 4/14).

Medicaid has become a central point of a heated political battle, as Republican lawmakers push for deep cuts to help fund tax reductions. President Donald Trump and GOP leaders aim to slash Medicaid spending by $880 billion over the next decade, trimming roughly 10% of the program’s budget. However, the consequences could be severe as Medicaid provides health coverage for roughly 83 million low-income Americans, including seniors and people with disabilities.

Did Manus AI Survive the Hype? A Deep Dive into the Agentic AI Taking on OpenAI and DeepSeek

2 weeks ago | aijourn.com | Victor Dey

In recent years, generative AI technology has dominated headlines, fueling a tech frenzy that led to a global AI arms race and what some call an industrial AI revolution. But now, the spotlight is shifting towards agentic AI—a new breed of models designed to act autonomously, making decisions and executing tasks with minimal human input. These systems rely on Large Language Models (LLMs) to understand context and complete complex workflows.
