Microsoft breakthrough signals quantum-exclusive future for blockchain mining

November 28, 2024 Coin Telegraph

The new hardware could ultimately host a theoretical algorithm with the potential to transform proof-of-work.

Microsoft and Atom Computing, a technology firm based in California, recently announced a breakthrough in quantum computing that could pave the way for a proof-of-work transformation in the world of blockchain mining.

Scientists and engineers from the two companies developed a quantum computing system made up of 24 entangled logical qubits produced by just 80 physical qubits — a feat that sets a new record for the highest number of entangled logical qubits achieved using error correction techniques.

The significance of this scientific breakthrough is in the teams’ achieved efficiency. Previous estimates have indicated that it could take thousands of physical qubits working in tandem to produce a single logical qubit.

‘Science needs an update’: How DeSci can fix junk science and cure baldness

November 22, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

DeSci advocates say “traditional science” has fallen prey to regulatory capture and been maligned by corporate greed and now a blockchain-based update is in order.

Decentralized science (DeSci) — a new field that updates scientific research with blockchain and crypto — may hold the key to revolutionizing the future of science by bootstrapping new blockchain-based funding models and making research more accessible.

Speaking to Cointelegraph, Joshua Bate, the founder of DeSci World, said DeSci is a much-needed “update” to the broken software of trad science, which he says has become crippled by pointless incentives, including gatekept data, regulatory capture and corporate greed.

Bate said DeSci can be thought of as an extension of the “open science movement” — an initiative of researchers sharing data and publishing open research that began as far back as the 1600s.

The firm investigated four distinct “sabotage” threat vectors for AI and determined that “minimal mitigations” were sufficient for current models.

Artificial intelligence firm Anthropic recently published new research identifying a set of potential “sabotage” threats to humanity posed by advanced AI models.

According to the company, the research focused on four specific ways a malicious AI model could trick a human into making a dangerous or harmful decision.

Blockchain-based DeSci solves science’s peer review problem — Hoskinson

October 8, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Blockchain

The DeSci movement continues to gain steam among industry insiders.

The world of science has a problem with too much centralization and not enough incentivization, at least according to supporters of the decentralized science (DeSci) movement.

Among those supporters is Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson. The outspoken developer and CEO minced no words when he recently discussed the state of traditional scientific publishing, calling it “terribly broken.”

Adoption

AI is accelerating scientific breakthroughs and improving research outcomes. Here are eight projects harnessing its power to improve human life quality.

Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of artificial intelligence firm OpenAI, released an essay on Sept. 23 proclaiming the arrival of the “Intelligence Age.”

In it, he claimed that humanity would see exponential advancement through artificial intelligence including “fixing the climate, establishing a space colony, and the discovery of all of physics – will eventually become commonplace.”

Many criticized his statements as the usual pie-in-the-sky ideas that have been coming out of Silicon Valley for years.

He also said it’ll solve all physics and usher in an era our grandparents couldn’t have imagined.

Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of artificial intelligence firm OpenAI, published a cryptic blog post on Sept. 23, apparently celebrating that “deep learning worked” and claiming that humanity was on the precipice of an era of unimaginable prosperity.

The CEO also boasted that his company’s technology would be capable of creating more powerful versions of itself within a matter of decades that will accelerate humanity’s scientific progress “across the board.”

Blockchain experiment results in swarm of decentralized learning robots

September 5, 2024 Coin Telegraph

The research focused on securing the machines against physical and cyber-attack while maintaining their decentralized learning capabilities.

A team of scientists in Belgium may have solved one of the biggest challenges in the field of AI using a blockchain-based, decentralized training method. While the research is still in its earliest stages, its potential implications could range from revolutionizing outer space exploration to posing an existential threat to humanity.

In a simulated environment, the researchers developed a way to coordinate learning between individual, autonomous AI agents. The team used blockchain technology to facilitate and secure the agents’ communications, thus creating a decentralized “swarm” of learning models.

The individual training results for each agent in the swarm were then used to develop a larger AI model. Because the data was handled via blockchain, this bigger system benefited from the swarm’s collective intelligence without accessing any of the individual agents’ data.

Physics for fintech: How quantum AI can make humans better crypto traders

artificial intelligence

Scientists are using quantum algorithms to uncover new insights into how our brains learn and apply information.

Quantum computers are often referred to as a future technology that will give scientists and engineers a new tool with which to explore the deeper mysteries of the universe. But, based on a new study, they may end up making the whole species a little smarter.

A team of scientists in South Korea recently used a quantum computer to conduct research on how humans retain and retrieve information. This pioneering study could pave the way for new learning techniques to improve outcomes in fields such as science, mathematics, and finance.

There are numerous forms of quantum computing, though the industry remains in its infancy. Companies such as Google and IBM are heavily involved in developing what’s called “gate-based” quantum computers. These systems work in a somewhat similar fashion to modern digital circuits.

Blockchain

Scientists built a DNA computer capable of playing chess.

In the not-so-far future it may be possible to run entire computer networks inside of living cells thanks to a recent breakthrough in molecular computing from scientists in the US.

According to research published on Aug 22., a team of scientists at North Carolina State University and Johns Hopkins University have built a functional DNA computer.

As Cointelegraph previously reported, DNA storage has been around for a while. But this may be the world’s first functional molecular computer capable of conducting both storage and compute functions via DNA — instead of using electricity, like regular desktop computers and smartphones.

The technology could also help detect diseases such as cancer.

Artificial intelligence firm Osmo is working diligently to bring back the future we were promised in 1960 when Hans Laube introduced the world to “Smell-O-Vision.” Only this time, the goal is to improve the lives of humans everywhere by teaching computers how to interpret scent.

Osmo’s technology is a complex, multidisciplinary amalgamation of science and engineering at the cutting edge, but its purpose is simple. The company wants to build generative AI that can do for scents what OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini can do for sounds and images.
