A Chilean town replaces artificial intelligence for a day: a social and environmental experiment
2+ mon, 2+ week ago (233+ words) In Quilicura (Chile), more than 50 residents managed to replace the functioning of artificial intelligence during a day-long event. Under the initiative Quili. ai, this "human server" responded to 25, 000 real-time interactions, with an average of 12 minutes and 40 seconds per conversation, attending…...
Chinese researchers achieve record efficiency in perovskite solar cells with an innovative method
2+ mon, 3+ week ago (428+ words) The perovskite solar cells have been raising expectations for years due to their lightweight and high efficiency. However, their fragility against heat and humidity limited their real deployment. Moreover, the early degradation increased costs and hindered investments, especially in warm…...
