As much as I admire Harley-Davidsonâs motorcycles, the truth is Iâm totally incapable of riding one. So when the iconic brand and its affiliated company, Serial 1, released their ebikes back in November 2020, I got very excited about being able to try at least one Harley-Davidson vehicle. Fast forward to May, when I got to test the Serial 1 Mosh/Cty: a powerful, single-speed ebike that makes urban riding feel... Read more âș

Weâve made a mess of the Earthâs oceans. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) â which is exactly what it sounds like â is estimated to cover an area of over 1.6 million square kilometers (620,000 square miles). It contains thousands of tons of plastic waste, and more plastic flows into the oceans around the world from rivers every day. Worse, the rate of plastic discarded into the ocean seems...

Many of... Read more âș

If youâre concerned about the biases and bigotry of AI models, youâre gonna love the latest addition to the ranks: a text generator trained on 4chanâs /pol/ board. Short for âPolitically Incorrect,â /pol/ is a bastion of hate speech, conspiracy theories, and far-right extremism. Itâs also 4chanâs most active board, accumulating around 150,000 daily posts. These attributes attracted Yannick Kilcher, an AI whizz and YouTuber, to use /pol/ as a... Read more âș

What happens when an autonomous vehicle gets stuck in the mud? Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University wanted to find out. They took an all-terrain vehicle off-road. With researchers on board, it traveled through challenging situations such as driving through dense vegetation and puddles. It was put through the paces with aggressive driving up and down hills, at speeds of 30mph (48mph), and sharp turns. The researchers generated a dataset called... Read more âș

As an entrepreneur or founder, increasing trust in your brand should be your top priority. We all know it takes decades to build up trust, but only a few days, or even hours, to lose it. In Denmark, where I live, we are good at trusting one another. It is common for Danish startups to grant their employees âtrust with responsibilityâ by allowing them to make important decisions on their... Read more âș

Anthony Bourdain once wrote, âGood food, good eating, is all about blood and organs, cruelty and decay.â But if Mosa Meat gets its way, you might soon be able to get the blood and organs without all the cruelty to the animals and decay of the planet.

An uncrewed vessel dubbed âMayflowerâ recently completed the first fully autonomous transatlantic journey on the open sea. Powered by IBMâs AI, the ship was designed and built by non-profit maritime research organization Promare. Its purpose is to boldly go where no robot has gone before, and collect oodles of data from our oceans. Up front: IBM isnât exactly in the autonomous boating business.

I recently attended a panel discussion on profitability featuring representatives from several rideshare providers at Micromobility Europe. Panelists were asked if their companies were profitable. It might surprise you to know that despite whopping masses of funding, only one out of four was generating a profit: Lime was founded in 2017 in the US and received $1.5B in funding. Dott was founded in 2018 in the Netherlands and raised $210.8M... Read more âș

Recently developed artificial intelligence (AI) models are capable of many impressive feats, including recognizing images and producing human-like language. But just because AI can perform human-like behaviors doesnât mean it can think or understand like humans. As a researcher studying how humans understand and reason about the world, I think itâs important to emphasize the way AI systems âthinkâ and learn is fundamentally different to how humans do â and...

From medical imaging and language translation to facial recognition and self-driving cars, examples of artificial intelligence (AI) are everywhere. And letâs face it: although not perfect, AIâs capabilities are pretty impressive. Even something as seemingly simple and routine as a Google search represents one of AIâs most successful examples, capable of searching vastly more information at a vastly greater rate than humanly possible and consistently providing results that are (at...

Heâs the PT Barnum of tech, the clown prince of wannabe edgelords, and the laughingstock of the artificial intelligence community. Elon Musk recently went on the record with what might be his most ridiculous prediction yet: 2029 feels like a pivotal year. Iâd be surprised if we donât have AGI by then. Hopefully, people on Mars too. â Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 30, 2022 â2029 feels like a pivotal year.... Read more âș
