IBM quantum processor achieves highest fidelity calculations for the longest period of time on record
1+ day, 7+ hour ago (855+ words) Scientists have developed a novel approach to error correction that resulted in the highest-ever fidelity of entangled, logical qubits on a superconducting quantum processor. Researchers have achieved a new record for qubit fidelity in superconducting quantum computer systems " overcoming a…...
'Not how you build a digital mind': How reasoning failures are preventing AI models from achieving human-level intelligence
2+ day, 7+ hour ago (733+ words) Existing LLM architecture may not support the problem-solving capabilities needed to underpin human-level AI, the authors of a new study argue. Architectural constraints in today's most popular artificial intelligence (AI) tools may limit how much more intelligent they can get,…...
Quantum computers need just 10,000 qubits — not the millions we assumed — to break the world's most secure encryption algorithms
4+ day, 3+ hour ago (892+ words) Future quantum computers will need to be far less powerful than we thought to threaten the security of encrypted messages, banking information and other sensitive data. Quantum computers don't need to be nearly as powerful as we thought to break…...
AI systems are enabling mass surveillance in the US, and there is no national law that 'meaningfully limits' the use of this data
6+ day, 3+ hour ago (1035+ words) A technology policy researcher explores the ethics of implementing AI in current camera surveillance systems. For decades, cars dictated urban planning in the United States. Few could have predicted that they would one day also double as nodes for surveillance....
