Researchers have developed an AI-driven system which can pinpoint “the specific machine” following an inspection of the 3D printed parts it has produced. AGrainger College of Engineeringteam from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign say that the system could be used for managing supply chains, “detecting early problems and verifying that suppliers are following agreed upon processes.” However, talk of the “hidden fingerprints” of3D printershave got this Sherlock, Columbo, Monk, and Fargo fan more interested in the criminal investigatory implications of the new AI....

AI engineers claim new algorithm reduces AI power consumption by 95% — replaces complex floating-point multiplication with integer addition

Engineers from BitEnergy AI, a firm specializing in AI inference technology, has developed a means of artificial intelligence processing that replaces floating-point multiplication (FPM) with integer addition. The new method, called Linear-Complexity Multiplication (L-Mul), comes close to the results of FPM while using the simpler algorithm. But despite that, it’s still able to maintain the high accuracy and precision that FPM is known for. AsTechXplore reports, this method reduces the power consumption of AI systems, potentially up to 95%, making it a crucial development for our AI future....
