Why it matters: Nvidia introduced CUDA in 2006 as a proprietary API and software layer that eventually became the key to unlocking the immense parallel computing power of GPUs. CUDA plays a major role in fields such as artificial intelligence, scientific computing, and high-performance simulations. But running CUDA code has remained largely locked to Nvidia hardware. Now, an open-source project is working to break that barrier.

Xbox exec suggests people use AI to lessen the pain of being laid off

Microsoft has just laid off 9,000 people while investing $80 billion in AI

Brain implant at UC Davis translates thoughts into spoken words with emotion

Creating natural speech from neural signals in milliseconds
Forward-looking: A new technology developed at the University of California, Davis, is offering hope to people who have lost their ability to speak due to neurological conditions. In a recent clinical trial, a man with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis was able to communicate with his family in real time using a brain-computer interface (BCI) that translates his neural activity into spoken words, complete with intonation and even simple melodies.

Facebook wants to access your camera roll for Meta AI photo suggestions

Camera roll media will be uploaded to Meta's servers on an "ongoing basis"
A hot potato: The issue of user content being used to train AI is a controversial one. Meta has been doing it with publicly available data for a while now, but its latest move is causing even more outcry: Facebook is asking for access to users' camera rolls so Meta AI can offer suggested edits to photos that haven't been uploaded.
