The Gates Foundation backs an AI wildcard

Bill Gates is supporting Jeff Hawkins, co-inventor of the PalmPilot, in developing AI software inspired by the human brain. Numenta, Hawkins' firm, received $2.7 million from the Gates Foundation to work on the Thousand Brains Project. Hawkins believes that AI should mimic the neocortex to achieve breakthroughs in machine intelligence. Large language models like ChatGPT are moving away from brain-inspired designs towards sheer size and scope. Hawkins aims to move beyond transformer models and attract researchers to explore brain-based AI further.

McDonald’s pulls AI ordering from drive-thrus – for now Short

McDonald's is discontinuing the use of AI ordering technology at drive-thrus after testing it at over 100 locations in the US. The company collaborated with IBM to develop and test AI-driven, voice-automated ordering as part of its growth plan. Despite the setback, McDonald's plans to explore other AI partners and evaluate scalable solutions for voice-ordering by the end of 2024. Other fast-food chains like White Castle and Wendy's have also experimented with AI-powered solutions in their operations. However, challenges such as AI inaccurately taking orders due to accent recognition issues have been reported.
