Amid the current AI explosion, one of the main challenges facing this technology’s implementation is that AI can sometimes make mistakes. What’s more, the black-box nature of many AI tools means that catching these mistakes and understanding why they happen can be extremely difficult. OpenAI recently discussed this problem – and a potential solution – ...Full article
Everyone is aware of the inflationary model of the early universe in which the volume of space expands exponentially then slows down. AI-augmented HPC (AHPC for short) has started to expand creating new space in the scientific universe, a space that was not accessible (computationally tractable) to traditional HPC numerical methods in the past. In ...Full article
