Many believe the Internet negatively affects mental health, but a new study challenges this assumption. Conducted by Dr. Matti Vuorre and his team at Tilburg University and published in Technology, Mind, and Behavior magazine, the study analyzed data from more than two million people across 168 countries. The findings suggest that those who have Internet access and actively use it report higher well-being across areas like life satisfaction, social life, and economic stability. Remarkably, 85% of the data analyses revealed that Internet users generally experience greater well-being than non-users. Dr. Vuorre emphasized that although Internet use is often blamed for mental health issues, this large-scale study suggests a positive correlation b... Ver mais

        Ahead of the upcoming AI Safety Summit in Seoul, leading AI scientists from institutions like the University of Oxford are urging world leaders to act on AI risks. Despite the pledges made at the previous summit in Bletchley Park, the experts argue that progress has been insufficient. According to Dr. Jan Brauner, the current AI landscape is dominated by a relentless pursuit of technological advancement, with safety and ethics as secondary concerns. This expert consensus paper, published in Science magazine, stresses that without a focus on safe development, AI may pose serious risks to society, especially as the potential for rapid, transformative AI capabilities looms within the decade.

        The Moodbeam wristband, resembling a fitness tracker, is designed to help employers monitor the emotional well-being of remote workers. The device features two buttons: yellow for happy and blue for sad, allowing employees to log their feelings throughout the workweek. Managers can then access this data via an online dashboard, gaining insights into their team’s emotional state. Originally created by co-founder Christina Colmer McHugh to help her daughter communicate feelings, Moodbeam aims to bridge the gap left by in-person interactions, giving employers a way to “check in” with staff working from home.

        It’s like a 21st century version of Frankenstein’s monster.
     Switzerland-based startup FinalSpark claims to have built a unique computer processor made from 16 mini brains developed out of human brain tissue — and they are positioning this “living computer” as an alternative to silicon-based computing. And now, other researchers can remotely access the startup’s biocomputer, the Neuroplatform, to conduct studies on, let’s say, artificial intelligence, which typically requires enormous resources.
    “One of the biggest advantages of biological computing is that neurons compute information with much less energy than digital computers,” a scientist and strategic advisor wrote in a compa... Ver mais
