IBM Says New Quantum Computing Tech Will 'Explore New Frontiers of Science'
IBM Says New Quantum Computing Tech , Will 'Explore New Frontiers of Science'.
On December 4, IBM unveiled a new quantum computing
chip and machine the company says could be the
foundation for much larger and faster systems. .
'The Guardian' reports that IBM's Quantum System Two, which
utilizes three "Heron" cryogenically cooled chips, comes amid fierce
competition to reach a breakthrough in quantum computing.
Microsoft, Google, Baidu and others are all racing to
develop machines that rely on quantum bits, which can be
both one and zero at the same, unlike traditional computing.

According to IBM, the company has developed a new
way of connecting chips within quantum machines,
and then connecting multiple machines together.
The technology could be used to
produce fully-functioning quantum
computing machines by 2033.
.
IBM said that it plans to use the new
quantum technology in its artificial
intelligence platform, watsonx.
We are firmly within the era
in which quantum computers
are being used as a tool to
explore new frontiers of science, Dario Gil, IBMâs director of research, via 'The Guardian'.
IBM's director of research, Dario Gil, told CBS '60 Minutes' that
quantum computing could be used to solve problems that
would take current computers millions of years to complete.
The beauty of it, is that not even
a million or a billion of those
supercomputers connected together
could do the calculations
of these future machines, Dario Gil, IBMâs director of research, via 'The Guardian'.
'The Guardian' reports that IBM also said that
one of its advanced new machines has already
been installed at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
McDonaldâs Ends , AI Drive-Thru Test With IBM.
Fox News reports that McDonald's has decided to end its artificial intelligence drive-thru program. .
According to 'Restaurant Business,'
McDonald's Chief Restaurant Officer Mason Smoot said
the decision was made "after a thoughtful review.".
McDonald's has decided to end
our current partnership with IBM
on AOT [automated order taking]
and the technology will be shut
off in all restaurants currently testing
it no later than July 26, 2024, Mason Smoot, McDonald's Chief
Restaurant Officer, via Fox News.
The program, which started
in 2021, saw over 100 McDonald's
locations help test the new technology.
While there have been successes
to date, we feel there is an
opportunity to explore voice
ordering solutions more broadly, Mason Smoot, McDonald's Chief
Restaurant Officer, via Fox News.
According to Smoot, McDonald's will make
"an informed decision on a future voice
ordering solution by the end of the year." .
The goal of the test was
to determine if an automated
voice ordering solution could
simplify operations for crew
and create a faster, improved
experience for our fans, McDonald's statement, via Fox News.
The company echoed Smoot's sentiment in
a statement to Fox News, while also addressing
the future of AI programs at McDonald's.
After thoughtful review, McDonaldâs
has decided to end our current global
partnership with IBM on AOT beyond
this year. IBM remains a trusted
partner and we will still utilize
many of their products
across our global system, McDonald's statement, via Fox News.
We see tremendous opportunity in
advancing our restaurant technology
and will continue to evaluate
long-term, scalable solutions that
will help us make an informed decision
on a future voice ordering solution
by the end of the year, McDonald's statement, via Fox News.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy recently said that
AI has rejuvenated the growth of AWS.
The cloud computing unit is reportedly on pace to bring in $100 billion in annual revenue.
Amazon recently invested in Anthropic, a California
AI company, "to develop so-called foundation models
that underpin generative AI systems," NPR reports. .
Amazon also makes its own AI chips.
The other four U.S. companies that
belong to the $2 trillion club are

Google Uses AI to Add , Over 100 New Languages to Translate.
Google Translate continues to get better,
as the company has used AI to add 110 new languages to the feature, Engadget reports. .
According to Google, the new languages represent over 600 million speakers,
or 8% of the worldwide population. .
Google referenced its LLM, PaLM 2, as "a key piece to the puzzle, helping Translate more efficiently learn languages that are closely related to each other," .
... "including languages close to Hindi, like Awadhi and Marwadi, and French creoles like Seychellois Creole and Mauritian Creole.".
Isaac Caswell, senior software
engineer for Google Translate, issued
a statement about the development.
As technology advances, and as
we continue to partner with expert
linguists and native speakers, we'll
support even more language varieties
and spelling conventions over time, Isaac Caswell, senior software engineer
for Google Translate, via Engadget.
The last time Translate had a sizeable number of languages added to it was in May of 2022.
At the time, the company utilized the help of Zero-Shot Machine Translation, which
"allows a model to learn a new language" without viewing examples, Engadget reports. .
Later in 2022, Google announced its
1,000 Languages Initiative.
The Initiative seeks to develop AI models that can learn the 1,000 most common languages spoken around the world. .
