Will AI take our jobs?

Did you miss us? We hope so, because this week you will find out how an Research involving Artificial Neural Networks managed to win the Nobel Prize for Physics, if AI is going to steal our jobs or not and how Google plans to generate energy to power their newest AI data centers.

1: The Nobel Physics Prize Awarded to an AI Research

This year’s Nobel Physics Prize was awarded to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton for their groundbreaking studies that paved the way for neural networks and laid the foundations of artificial intelligence. Although neither of the models was strictly rooted in physics, they were both . Their research helped computers mimic brain-like learning processes, influencing AI systems like those used in search engines and chatbots. 

2: AI is changing the reports written by US police

East Palo Alto police are testing AI software called Draft One, developed by Axon, to help officers write reports based on bodycam audio. The tool aims to save time and improve accuracy, but experts worry about the potential for bias and errors, especially in critical criminal justice decisions. 

3: Google uses nuclear energy to power AI data centers

Link: Google turns to nuclear to power AI data centres

With data centre global energy consumption expected to double by the end of the decade, Google has partnered with Kairos Power to use small nuclear reactors to power its AI data centres. The deal aims to meet energy needs cleanly and reliably by deploying reactors that use advanced molten fluoride salt cooling technology. The project awaits approval from US regulators. This move reflects a broader trend in the tech industry’s shift toward nuclear energy, as companies like Microsoft and Amazon also embrace this clean, 24/7 power source to cut emissions.
