Brain-computer interface startups augmenting human body
The article explains the working definition of Brain Computer Interface technologies (BCI), the current startup BCI tech companies in this sector which mostly focus on BCI applications for assistive prosthetics.
How do BCI technologies make the world “safer”, “more productive”, and “more accessible”? How are these terms defined in the article and by whom? In what ways does the article discuss co-design methods used with prosthetics users? How well do you beleive these potential BCI users understand the short and long term risks of this emerging medical technology? How well does the article discuss the potential harms?

This article details a new approach emerging in AI science; instead of using 16 bits to represent pieces of data which train an algorithm, a logarithmic scale can be used to reduce this number to four, which is more efficient in terms of time and energy. This may allow machine learning algorithms to be trained on smartphones, enhancing user privacy. Otherwise, this may not change much in the AI landscape, especially in terms of helping machine learning reach new horizons.

Tiny four-bit computers are now all you need to train AI
This article details a new approach emerging in AI science; instead of using 16 bits to represent pieces of data which train an algorithm, a logarithmic scale can be used to reduce this number to four, which is more efficient in terms of time and energy. This may allow machine learning algorithms to be trained on smartphones, enhancing user privacy. Otherwise, this may not change much in the AI landscape, especially in terms of helping machine learning reach new horizons.
Does more efficiency mean more data would be wanted or needed? Would that be a good thing, a bad thing, or potentially both?
