Very interesting demo day event hosted by Deeptech Labs in Cambridge yesterday, thank you to them and congrats to the participants. Some reflections: There is amazing research happening at universities with the potential for huge global impact. I sense a slight disconnect between some of this and the London focused tech scene so proficient at commercialising new ideas. Thankful to those that bring these worlds closer like DeepTech Labs. A snapshot of demos from companies commercialising exciting research: 1️⃣ Synthara AG > Improve compute efficiency and performance of processors by 50x. Needed with the acceleration of AI 2️⃣ Barocal > Zero carbon heating and cooling thanks to discoveries in barocaloric materials 3️⃣ Monumo > A deeptech system to run order of magnitude more simulations when designing components. The first mission: develop the world’s best electric motor This is scratching the surface from yesterday, let alone the opportunities that lie ahead from a closer partnership between university researcher and the tech ecoystyem. Interested to know: what other initiatives help bring university research and the tech ecosystem together?

“AI has the potential to increase the size of pharma R&D pipelines tenfold.” But how do we get there? In this mind Health interview, Benchling co-founder Ashu Singhal discusses why #AI models alone will not be enough — and why effective integration of the wet lab and the dry lab is critical. Find out how European biopharma is preparing for AI by investing in the intersection between #tech and #biotech. 🇫🇷 En français: https://lnkd.in/eFWcfqZP

👉HAVE YOUR SAY The AI Act now contains an entire new chapter called measures in support of innovation. These measures include alleged innovation facilitators such as AI regulatory sandboxes, exceptions for further processing of personal data for developing certain AI systems in the public interest, testing of high-risk AI systems in real world conditions, and measures for providers and deployers, in particular SMEs, including start-ups, as well as derogations for specific operations. But is this sufficient and what role do co- and self-regulatory mechanisms have to play in AI governance? 👉 HAVE A SAY in defining JUST Data.

👉HAVE YOUR SAY Bias in AI is not inherently negative, and there is a distinction between bias and accuracy. For example, bias can help AI systems make quick decisions by relying on patterns learned from historical data, and it allows AI to tailor recommendations and services to individual users based on their preferences. Bias is also used with different meanings in law, ethics, psychology, sociology, deep learning theory… If bias is not inherently good or bad, how do we make sense of it? 👉 HAVE A SAY in defining JUST Data.

Elon Musk said yesterday that the first human has been implanted with a Neuralink brain chip. So far, the patient is "recovering well." Enter, tech skepticism (techticism, if you will): Neuralink has faced a lot of scrutiny over the safety of its implants, with one nonprofit group alleging that the company euthanized 12 previously healthy test monkeys due to problems with the implant. The FDA approved the company for human trials in May and the USDA cleared the company of animal welfare violations in June. Around this environment of potential safety concerns are two more points: A, Neuralink's implant may not be the best option, considering the damage such an invasive device causes to brain tissue, and B, Musk has been hyping sci-fi evolutions of the tech for years, something that one expert thinks may be misleading, considering the limited amount of knowledge researchers have amassed when it comes to the brain.

Publication Alert! Well done team RAMAN LAB ,Ankit Vijayvargiya, PhD, Naveen Gehlot, Ashutosh Jena, Kieran Moran, aparna Sinha Title: S-WD-EEMD: A hybrid framework for imbalanced sEMG signal analysis in diagnosis of human knee abnormality Journal: PLOS ONE In this study, , a combination of wavelet decomposition (WD) with ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (S-WD-EEMD) is proposed. A hybrid WD-EEMD is considered for the minimization of noises produced in the sEMG signal during the collection, while the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) is considered to balance the data by increasing the minority class samples during the training of machine learning techniques. https://lnkd.in/gbhKPG-R

TechFutures Weekly: Exploring the Frontiers of Innovation"-1 Project 2045: Advancing Towards Cybernetic Immortality Project 2045, also known as the "2045 Initiative," is a forward-thinking non-profit organization with an audacious goal: achieving cybernetic immortality by the year 2045. Founded by Dmitry Itskov, this initiative envisions a future where technology enables us to transfer our consciousness into advanced avatars, essentially creating digital or cybernetic immortality. The first of the proposed steps, to be completed before the end of the decade, would be to create an android "avatar" controlled entirely by a brain-computer interface. The system would at first be of interest to physically challenged people, but might also enable people to work in hazardous environments or perform dangerous rescue operations. As futuristic as this vision may seem, Itskov is not the only person to share it. DARPA allotted US$7 million of next year's budget to the development of interfaces enabling a soldier to guide a semi-autonomous bipedal machine and allow it to act as the soldier's surrogate. Other researchers have reported being able to exert basic control over the movement of a humanoid robot using brainwaves alone, and many are working on refining this technology. The second step would be the creation of an autonomous life support system for the human brain, which could then be integrated into the previously developed "avatar" by 2025. If the efforts are successful, immobile patients with an intact brain would be able to regain the ability to move via their new synthetic bodies, and a varied range of bio-electronic devices might become possible, creating superimpositions of electronic and biological systems. Not a great deal of research is going into this at the moment – in fact, the closest match would have to be the research of Dr. Robert J. White who, back in the 70s, managed to perform several head transplants in monkeys. Building an artificial environment in which a brain could not only survive, but also continue working to full effect, is sure to prove a much harder task. By 2035, Itskov hopes to be able to reverse-engineer the human brain and find a means of "downloading" its consciousness to a synthetic version. Coupled with the previous advancements, this would allow humans to achieve cybernetic immortality. It would also lead to the creation of a human-like artificial intelligence, and even provide opportunities for ordinary people to restore or enhance their own brains, for instance by manipulating memories. While there is no current research going into transferring your consciousness into a silicon chip, there is plenty of interest among neuroscientists in better understanding the inner workings of the brain. Although we are just scratching the surface, recent advancements – such as a robotic arm that can analyze the electricity patterns of single neurons – are certainly steps in the right direction.
