“We pre-trained the model on several continental scales using basins with historical monitoring data,” said Ouyang Chaojun, corresponding author and professor at the CAS Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment. He explained this can make flow predictions within basins lacking streamflow records. In the paper, the researchers wrote: “Our proposed model achieved state-of-the-art performance in …
Robot and Coins getty Artificial intelligence will likely improve productivity—output relative to inputs such as labor, energy and materials. We expect to see lower prices where AI provides the biggest boost to productivity. That could have a general effect on the price level, pulling the rate of inflation down for the entire economy, and conceivably …

Neuroscience Meets AI: Altera’s New Digital Agents A new breed of AI agents is rapidly …
Summary: Researchers developed a groundbreaking model called Brain Language Model (BrainLM) using generative artificial intelligence to map brain activity and its implications for behavior and disease. BrainLM leverages 80,000 scans from 40,000 subjects to create a foundational model that captures the dynamics of brain activity without the need for specific disease-related data. This model significantly …
AI startup Anthropic is changing its policies to allow minors to use its generative AI systems — in certain circumstances, at least. Announced in a post on the company’s official blog Friday, Anthropic will begin letting teens and preteens use third-party apps (but not its own apps, necessarily) powered by its AI models so long …

Artificial intelligence (AI) startup Anthropic has defended its decisions to partner with Amazon and Google, saying that collaborating with two companies gives it greater independence than it would have if it teamed up with only one. “That independence and that choice is one thing that I think differentiates Anthropic from some of these other deals,” Anthropic Co-Founder and CEO …
There is a common expression, especially among new immigrants, that Israel is always 40 years behind the rest of the world. However, that was never the case with hi-tech. Midreshet Ben-Gurion initiated a concerted national effort to enhance Israel’s competitive advantage in Artificial Intelligence on Wednesday. Dubbed “The Institute,” this initiative is a game-changer. …
