ROBOTS TO DO 40% OF HOUSEHOLD TASKS
- Experts predict that robots will be doing 40% of our household chores by 2033: a huge time-saver for humans
- The forecast comes from researchers at the UK's University of Oxford and Japan's Ochanomizu University
- The scientists used AI (artificial intelligence) and worked with 61global AI experts to predict the amount of automation the average household will have for chores like ironing and food shopping in ten years
- They found the biggest use of robotics will be in grocery shopping, with 59% of it being done by robots & algorithms
- The least amount of automation will be in childcare and elder care
- Currently the most frequently used robot in homes is robot vacuum cleaners
- The new research has just been published in PLOS ONE.
META JOINS THE AI RACE
- Facebook parent company Meta just announced it has joined the very hot, artificial intelligence "arms" race
- The new Meta technology is called LLaMA or Large Language Model Meta AI
- This is generative AI which is the basis of OpenAI ChatGPT and Google Bard
- Generative AI is capable of generating all sorts of content within seconds, even to the level of creating a law school exam essay
- Meta says its LLaMA is unique
- Unlike Bard and ChatGPT, it is transparent in its inner workings to any researcher
- Meta says it is also much cheaper to operate
- Meta says LLaMA outperforms ChatGPT-like technology but is ten-times smaller
- Smaller AI models like this could lead to eventually running large language assistants on personal smartphones and PCs
- Meta calls the new system a fundamental model from which it will create more refined AI models in the future.
