Novel device converts heat into electricity at ultra-low temperatures
Forward-looking: A research team at EPFL University in Switzerland has created a 2D quantum computing system that can get colder than outer space. This is a major breakthrough for quantum computing, as advancements have been hindered by conventional cooling methods. This new technology uses off-the-shelf parts and can be easily implemented into existing quantum computers.
TL;DR: As the AI arms race accelerates, Meta's chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun, has taken a grounded approach to the future of AI. He challenges the popular opinion that AI will surpass human intelligence in the near future and isn't making any big bets on quantum computing either.
