AI still consumes a lot of power, so a lot of work needs to be done to mitigate concerns around power consumption and lack of cooling to avoid overloading servers and causing excessive drains.AI continues to be a transformative force in the global business landscape and has real potential to drive significant innovation, but computing requires a delicate balance to avoid excessive energy consumption.Advances in SupercomputingCortex joins a lineup of supercomputers currently in development from Elon Musk, who is already working on several large-scale AI computing projects, including the xAI supercomputer, which will feature 100,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs and be…

By Twumasi Duah-Mensah Every so often, Megan Conner, a nurse anesthetist in Greenville said she sees a patient who’s driven for hours to come for a screening colonoscopy but who instead has to be sent to the emergency department. “I’m looking at their blood pressure on the monitor, and it’s super high, like, 200 over something,” Conner said. She asks her usual questions: Have they had high blood pressure before? No. High cholesterol? No. Ever had a heart attack? No. Do they see the doctor regularly?

Pope Francis begins his Asia tour next week, with one of his first stops being Indonesia's iconic Istiqlal Mosque. The 87-year-old head of the Catholic Church is due to hold an interreligious meeting with representatives of the country's six officially recognised religions as the populous Southeast Asian nation faces a challenge to its image of tolerance. Pope Francis, who has numerous health problems that have left him increasingly wheelchair-bound, has a packed schedule during his four-nation trip, which begins in Jakarta on Sept. 3, where he is scheduled to meet with Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

Pope Francis, returning to the Vatican after a whirlwind trip to Mongolia last September, told reporters that international travel has become much more difficult, raising questions about whether the elderly pontiff will continue the jet-setting lifestyle he enjoyed during his first decade as pontiff.

The grueling 12-day trip to four countries in Asia and Oceania will test Francis' strength but also provide an opportunity to highlight some of the defining…

More than six years after Apple became the first public company to break through the $1 trillion market cap threshold, such companies remain in the minority: According to the latest research, only six companies have a 13-figure market cap (though Apple is still the largest at about $3.5 trillion). But it's been a while since the world has been in a position to push more companies into the next tier of scale. Right now, the…

The rapidly changing demographics of East Asia's major economies are a slow-growing crisis, one analyst said last week at a talk hosted by the Asia Society Policy Institute, a U.S. think tank.Some say the economic and social impacts of a sharp decline in birth rates and an ageing workforce in South Korea and its developed neighbors could be offset if the government tackled the underlying problems and adopted labor-saving solutions.South Korea's fertility rate is the lowest in the world at 0.72 births per woman over her lifetime, despite the government pumping more than $200 billion into child-rearing policies over the…

EV charging network ChargePoint has announced it is deploying artificial intelligence (AI) to speed up the diagnosis and repair process for faulty chargers. ChargePoint describes the new AI-powered driver support tool as a first for the EV charging industry, and will help improve uptime and reliability issues across its network. As we’ve noted many times before, one of the biggest obstacles to accelerating EV adoption is the availability of abundant and reliable charging infrastructure. Don’t get us wrong: EV chargers are more prevalent than ever. In the U.S. alone, their number has doubled under the Biden-Harris Administration. It shows no…
