The amount of computing power used to train leading AI models has grown at an extraordinary pace over the last decade, transforming artificial intelligence from an academic field into one of the world’s most compute-intensive industries.According to data from Epoch AI, training computation for notable AI systems has increased exponentially since 2010. While training compute grew by roughly 1.5 times per year between 1950 and 2010, the pace accelerated dramatically after the deep learning revolution, expanding by approximately 4.4 times annu...

Women’s health companies were long viewed as niche businesses despite serving enormous markets. Now that’s beginning to change.Over the next two decades, roughly $124 trillion is expected to change hands in what analysts describe as the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history. An increasing share of that wealth is moving to women through inheritance, entrepreneurship, and rising lifetime earnings. At the same time, healthcare is confronting another reality: much of modern medicine was built around male biology. Those two force...

ABB’s GoFa robot and PSYONIC’s touch-sensitive Ability Hand use human data to train robots for precise manipulation.Industrial robots have become exceptionally fast and precise, but one capability still separates machines from humans: dexterity. Now, a new partnership between ABB Robotics and bionic prosthetics company PSYONIC aims to close that gap by teaching robots to learn from human touch itself.ABB Robotics has partnered with California-based PSYONIC to combine the company’s touch-sensitive Ability Hand prosthetic with ABB’s GoFa c...
