AI's Impact on Translation Jobs
If AI is so good, why are there still so many jobs for translators? NPR
Despite advances in artificial intelligence, human translators and interpreters are still in high demand. AI has improved translation capabilities, but it is not capable of fully replacing human translators due to limitations in creative and nuanced tasks, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to understand subtle nuances in meaning, especially in low-resource languages. Human translators and interpreters are also required for tasks that require accuracy and reliability, such as in legal, medical, and literary fields. The collaboration between humans and AI has made translation faster and cheaper, resulting in increased demand for translation services. However, the automation of some tasks may devalue the skills of human translators, potentially leading to income disparities among translators. While AI has impacted the field of translation, it does not pose an existential threat to human translators and interpreters at present.
Empowering AI for Single-Cell Characterization of Human Heart's Pacemaker
This article discusses the use of a deep learning deconvolution method, Bulk2Space, to characterize the cellular heterogeneity of the human sinus node (SN) using existing single-cell datasets from non-human species. The study successfully revealed the unique single-cell composition of the human SN, including 11 identified cell populations, and demonstrated the potential of artificial intelligence (A.I.) to provide insights into previously challenging tissues. The article provides detailed information about the method, data pre-processing, results, and interpretation, along with data and code availability.

France Plans Most Powerful Supercomputer in Europe for Defense and AI
France preps Europe's fastest classified supercomputer for defense AI Defense News
France is planning to build the most powerful supercomputer in Europe for defense with a focus on artificial intelligence. This move aims to allocate €2 billion for artificial intelligence, and the country is emphasizing military AI for operational deployment. The new supercomputer is expected to be operational by 2025, allowing the sharing of computing resources with other government departments and French defense firms in a secure environment. The initiative reflects a growing global emphasis on military AI, with the U.S. Department of Defense also significantly increasing its spending on AI. France faces challenges in retaining skilled engineers due to competition from major tech companies. The country aims to tackle this issue through its AI agency. Notably, France aims to be a leader in military AI to stand out in the field and devote significant resources to it.
