Indicatively, fearing new export restrictions by the Biden administration, the Chinese technical giants (Baidu, ByteDance, Tencent and Alibaba) immediately accepted this alternative version and ordered tens of thousands of processors.

Owing to the high demand, However, in October 2023, new US sanctions followed, this time banning the supply of H800 and A800 GPUs to China. Nvidia is again planning to develop special versions that would not be subject to ...
... deepest neural network models are essentially high-performance and high-cost associative memory devices, albeit operating at speeds and information volumes that exceed human capabilities in a large number of applications. However, by themselves, they are failing to adapt to new environmental conditions if not tuned to them manually, and they are unable to generate new knowledge by identifying phenomena in the environment to connect them into causal models of the world, let alone share this knowledge with other constituents of the environment, be they people or other similar systems.
Can parameters be reduced to synapses?
Traditionally, the power of “deep” neural models is compared to the ...
The Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence will help participants establish practical cooperation and formulate common approaches to the development and implementation of AI

What Opportunities are Opening up for Russia against the Backdrop of the Tech War between the U.S. and China?
The digital economy is an economy of innovations, not inventions. This is a very important distinction. An invention is anything that is radically new from a technological point of view. An ...
... astutely in terms of our diplomacy while being careful not to become too dependent on anyone or take sides
While it may be a little early to talk about the emergence of a bipolar era in the tech world, the question of what policy Russia should follow against the backdrop of the confrontation between the two undisputed tech leaders (the United States and China) is more pressing than ever.

. Can the human mind — incessantly subjected to politicized fairy tales and violent belief systems — be capable of continual innovation? It is of course easier to blame an external bogeyman for a purely internal malaise. Herein lies the utility of fake news; one that will be filtered by a digital nanny and policed by thousands of ideologically-biased fact-checkers. Funded, of course, by the US deep state!
