Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has announced the opening of three new engineering hubs in Germany, Italy and Spain. The hubs will focus on developing next-generation autonomous technologies, creating nearly 100 new jobs in the process.

Bar-Ilan University researchers have shown that brain-inspired shallow neural networks can achieve the same classification success rates as deep learning architectures consisting of many layers and filters, but with less computational complexity. The findings suggest that efficient learning of non-trivial classification tasks can be achieved using shallow feedforward networks, potentially requiring less computational complexity.

Last month, OpenAI launched its newest AI chatbot product, GPT-4. According to the folks at OpenAI, the bot, which uses machine learning to generate natural language text, passed the bar exam with a score in the 90th percentile, passed 13 of 15 AP exams and got a nearly perfect score on the GRE Verbal test.
