  If you follow European AI news, you may have read that Finland’s Silo AI and Germany’s Aleph Alpha recently established a partnership to deliver “sovereign AI.” It would seem whoever is responsible for partnerships at Silo is keeping busy, as the company today announced yet another collaboration, this time with investor darling Mistral AI. The past couple of years have seen businesses scramble to implement AI, often even before they know how they are actually going to us

• Data centres in space could be one solution to AI’s big energy problem

  27-06-2024 20:46 via thenextweb.com
  
  As AI boosts demand for more data storage, Europe is considering sending data centres into space — and the plan is not as outlandish as it may first appear.   A 16-month, €2 million study has concluded that space-based data centres are technically, economically, and environmentally feasible.  Thales Alenia Space and Leonardo coordinated the ASCEND study, which was funded by the EU. The research also tapped expertise from the likes of Airbus, ArianeGroup, and the German

• Can AI cure the corruption and biases that plague boxing?

  27-06-2024 15:00 via thenextweb.com
  
  Boxing is a whimsically old-fashioned sport. Feuds are settled in fights, traditions are revered, and ageing faces run the show. Fifty years since their heydays promoting Muhammad Ali, the 92-year-olds Don King and Bob Arum remain leading powerbrokers. They work with overlords who operate in the shadows. In this world, oversight is resisted and new tech greeted with suspicion.  At world title fights, judges still fill out scorecards on scraps of paper. They follow four extremely subjective

• ‘Sleeping on it’ really does help: 4 recent sleep research and tech breakthroughs

  27-06-2024 10:30 via thenextweb.com
  
  Twenty-six years. That is roughly how much of our lives are spent asleep. Scientists have been trying to explain why we spend so much time sleeping since at least the ancient Greeks, but pinning down the exact functions of sleep has proven to be difficult. During the past decade, there has been a surge of interest from researchers in the nature and function of sleep. New experimental models coupled with advances in technology and analytical techniques are giving us a deeper look inside the slee

• Supercritical launches world’s first live pricing and availability for biochar carbon removal

  27-06-2024 06:45 via thenextweb.com
  
  Carbon removal platform Supercritical today announced the launch of its live pricing and availability function for global biochar projects in support of the transparency of the budding carbon removal market.  Most have heard of carbon offsetting — and of the junk credits often associated with it. However, the newer term of carbon removal credits (CRC) might just provide more bang for the climate change buck, if measured, verified, and paid for correctly. To prevent CRC going down the
