Greetings carbon-based life forms! I’m excited to announce the Neural track atTNW Conference 2021. Neuralis known as TNW’s artificial intelligence vertical, but I’m here to tell you that it’s so much more. We coverhuman-centric AI advances,quantum physics,neuroscience, and anything else that blurs the boundaries between humans and machines. We’re futurists and we absolutely love new research. But we’re alsopassionate about human rights,diversity, and theeffect that machine intelligence has on humanity. We’ve got one eye on big tech, one on the startup scene, and a third robotic eye focused on politics and government policy....

This article is part of ourreviews of AI research papers, a series of posts that explore the latest findings in artificial intelligence. With their millions and billions of numerical parameters, deep learning models can do many things: detect objects in photos, recognize speech, generate text—and hide malware. Neural networks can embed malicious payloads without triggering anti-malware software, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, and the University of Illinois have found....

NeuralCam Live is a great AI-powered app for turning your iPhone into a webcam Setup and features The setup is simple: install the app, and then install the Mac driver for virtual webcams (instructions in the app). Then connect your phone to your Mac using a USB cable, and join the meeting through the platform of your choice. I have used the app for a couple of days, and I really like some of the features....

Elon Musk’s problems are bigger and more important than yours. While most of us are consumed with our day-to-day activities, Musk has been anointed by a higher power to save us all from ourselves. He’s here to ensure weeliminate car accidents, maketraffic a thing of the past,solveautism(his words, not mine),connect human brains to machines,fill the night sky with satellitesso everyone can have internet access, andcolonize Mars. He doesn’t exactly knowhowwe’re going to accomplish all those things, but he has more than enough money to turn any and every single good idea he’s ever had into a functioning industry....

Neuralink: brain hacking is exceptionally hard, no matter what Elon Musk says Unique brains Neuroscientists have, in fact, been listening to brain cells in awake animals since the 1950s. At the turn of the 21st century, brain signals from monkeys were used tocontrol an artificial arm. And in 2006, the BrainGate team began implanting arrays of 100 electrodes in the brains of paralyzed people, enablingbasic control of computer cursorsand assistive devices....
