The AI poster boy, the ‘Chinese spy’ and Trump: how an affair may have harmed US security

Jensen Huang’s close relationship with president means Nvidia CEO’s affair with woman alleged to be working for Beijing is under intense scrutiny A hand on the back, a kiss on the cheek; the footage of Alice Huang’s interaction with Jensen Huang in a Taipei venue last year does not seem particularly remarkable at first glance. But the Nvidia chief executive’s revelation on Sunday that he had an affair with Ms Huang has given it new significance. Continue reading...

云深处发布全新四足机器人 实现50Kg大负载、复杂地形作业

11月6日，云深处科技正式发布四足机器人新产品——绝影X50。它通过“感控融合”全新升级，搭配高刚性高响应关节系统，实现了更大负载、更强通行与更稳姿态的综合突破。云深处进一步拓展了四足机器人在极端环境下的重载作业边界，为应急消防、能源电力等高风险行业解决痛点。 重载与通行，长期是四足机器人难以两全的难题：负载一加，爬坡、下台阶的容错空间同步收窄，高强度户外作业中，机器狗往往卡在复杂地形中的“最后一公里”。据雷峰网了解，绝影X50四足机器人对关节与整机结构进行全面优化，在不增加机身尺寸的前提下，将持续行进中的负载提升至50kg。 在50kg的额定大负载状态下，绝影X50四足机器人面对楼梯斜坡、崎岖山路、碎石路面等复杂路况，仍能稳定负重前行。其全地形重载能力，具备承接高强度复杂地形的作业任务。在电力巡检中，绝影X50机器狗可搭载液压工具、绝缘子串及接地线组等重型器材，减轻人工搬运负担，有效避免检修人员体力透支、职业劳损及摔伤扭伤等安全问题；在消防任务中，云深处科技绝影X50机器狗不仅能背负数十公斤的消防设备快速深入火场，还能搭载消防水带开展持续喷水作业，从而大幅降低消防人员近距离高危作业风险；在应急救援中，绝影X50机器狗可携带生命探测仪、破拆工具、医疗物资等重型救援设备深入灾害现场，在黄金救援时间内抵达事故核心区。 与此同时，在50kg额定负载下，这款四足机器人以3m/s的速度持续疾

Qianwen Office 2.0 makes up for the most critical "shortcomings" of office agents.

"In the past few months, everyone has been working hard to prove that AI can do more and more work. But to be honest, just because one person can do the work, it does not mean that a group of people can collaborate." An industry insider who has been paying attention to AI office for a long time found that after trying out the mainstream AI office products on the market, there are still some "trouble" that cannot be avoided. The most typical one is that some tasks have to be done manually. "Agent can complete tasks independently, but it is difficult to handle the flow of tasks between people." Sometimes, after AI delivers the results, handing over between people takes more time and effort than the Agent doing the step itself. If AI office wants to fight To B, it must face up to this dilemma. When it comes to AI, companies really care about two things: one is personal productivity, whether AI can do more work for employees; the other is organizational productivity, whether AI can reduce information loss and duplication of work in team collaboration. In the past few months, AI office has overcome many obstacles in personal productivity, but there is still a long way to go in terms of organizational productivity. On November 9, Qianwen Office released version 2.0, launching the industry's first "collaboration" function that supports multi-person collaboration with Agents, and announced on its official blog that it is moving into the Team Agent era. It wants to respond to the above-mentioned problems: How can the enterprise's organizational productivity keep up with the improvement of individual productivity? 01 How to join the team collaboration in "Qianwen Xiao Q"? The domestic AI office craze has lasted for nearly half a year. Product competition in the C-end market is becoming increasingly fierce, while the challenges in the B-end market go far beyond simply selling products to companies. From a product perspective, with the emergence of overseas Personal Agent products such as Muse, Cue, and Dots, the capabilities of personal AI are rapidly being broadened, and enterprise-level AI is also being pushed to higher expectations.

Parents and teachers decry Google pledge to yank Search if schools block AI: ‘This threat is nothing but extortion’

Company says schools should control student AI use, but if they block its AI tools, they’ll lose access to search engine Parents and teachers across the US are criticizing Google’s announcement that schools choosing to block AI tools could also lose access to Google Search. Google announced last week a range of new AI tools for schools and classrooms, alongside options allowing teachers and administrators to restrict their use. The company said schools should have control over whether students use AI in the classroom, but that schools that choose to block Google’s AI tools will also lose acces

Today’s AI won’t achieve superintelligence. But catastrophic risk is real | Sunita Verma

The same technical limits that prevent superintelligence make these systems dangerous. But we know how to regulate them Many Silicon Valley leaders believe superintelligence is an imminent threat to society. The White House even published an accord about it. This isn’t enough. Geoffrey Hinton, the godfather of AI, estimates the risk of human extinction is at least 10% within the next few decades. The Anthropic CEO, Dario Amodei, argued that unchecked AI “could outrun our ability to understand and control these systems”. In response, 1,300 leaders and employees from many leading AI companies si
