The Artificial Intelligence Arms race

Image
 Artificial intelligence has made a difference in various industries by enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making. It automates some of the mundane tasks of humans to enable them to focus their time on more strategic activities, which raises productivity. AI technologies give personalized experiences, predictive analytics, and insights that drive innovation and competitive advantage. The AI arms race describes this never-ending race of countries, mainly the United States and China but also including many other countries, to achieve dominance in artificial intelligence technologies. The increasing development in the capacities of AI will lead to heightened concerns about what potential military applications and the concomitant risk for global instability that may come along with the infusion of AI into warfare. This is not a question of who is ahead technologically but also has to do with their strategic frameworks for the application of AI in military contexts.

Revive & Recharge: The Future of Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling ♻

What are Lithium Ion Batteries Firstly what do they contain? How do they work? Lets dive deeper in to the topic and answer all these questions. Single or multiple lithium-ion cells in a protective circuit board build up the Battery Pack. They have Electrode,Anode,Cathodes,Electrolyte,Thermal and current Collectors. As the battery discharges, lithium ions move from the anode to cathodes, allowing a flow of electrons that send power out toward what is being charged. What makes them different? Higher energy density, higher efficiency of the cell and a longer cycle life as well as calendar life. Once they get over they can be recycled at a plant through the following processes Gathering and Sifting: The batteries are collected, which is then sorted as per the kind. Treatment : Some valuable materials, like lithium and cobalt, can be recovered via techniques such as mechanical crushing or chemical leaching. Black Mass Recovery  :This is an intermediate product with high metal content su...

What's Quantam Computing ? 💭💻

hmm Quantam Computing? I am pretty sure that's the first question that arises in your mind , Well in simple words works on Quantum Machanics and instead of Bits used in classical computing with values only 1 or 0 , quantam computer works on Qubits which interestingly can be Both 1 and 0 at the same time! I know you must be wondering How is that possible? well its all thanks to a property called SUPER POSITION which allows quantum computers to process many possibilities simultaneously. It also uses a property called entanglement , where two or more particles become interconnected in such a way that the state of one particle instantly influences the state of the other. This allows quantum computers to procces A LOT OF INFORMATION in seconds compared to classical computers .  Recently , in 2021, IBM developed a 127-qubit chip called Eagle, followed by the 433-qubit Osprey in 2022. On 4 December 2023, it unveiled the first quantum computer, consisting of more than 1,000 qubits. Th...
