The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has developed a design framework for next-generation analog computing chipsets that could be quicker and use less power than the digital chips found in most electronic gadgets. The team developed a prototype of an analog chipset dubbed ARYABHAT-1 using their new design methodology (Analog Reconfigurable Technology And Bias-scalable Hardware for AI Tasks). This type of chipset is very useful for AI-based applications such as object or speech recognition (think Alexa or Siri) or those that demand enormous parallel computing operations at fast speeds.

Google has revealed how machine learning is aiding in the security and enjoyment of Chrome. To begin with, Google claims that its latest machine learning (ML) model has enabled Chrome to detect more than twice as many phishing attacks and harmful sites. In March, the new on-device machine learning model was released. Google claims that Chrome has detected 2.5x more threats since its release. Aside from security, Google is planning to apply machine learning to improve the Chrome user experience. Chrome allows users to refuse notifications from pages they aren’t…
