In this episode of 'Discover Daily', the IRS is making waves in government tech adoption with its upcoming acquisition of an Nvidia SuperPod AI supercomputer. This sophisticated system, featuring thirty-one servers with Blackwell processors, will be installed at their Martinsburg, West Virginia computing center. The system aims to revolutionize the agency's machine learning capabilities, particularly in fraud detection and taxpayer behavior analysis, marking a significant step forward in AI integration within government operations.
In a recent study on AI energy consumption, ChatGPT's latest model GPT-4 has been found to use significantly less power than previously thought. Research by Epoch AI reveals that each query consumes approximately 0.3 watt-hours, ten times lower than earlier estimates. This efficiency improvement is attributed to advanced hardware implementation, system optimization, and more accurate calculation methods, though the cumulative energy impact remains substantial given millions of daily queries.
Lastly, research published in Science has unveiled how birds and mammals have independently evolved complex brains through distinct pathways while achieving similar cognitive abilities. The study, led by Dr. Fernando García-Moreno, used advanced spatial transcriptomics and mathematical modeling to reveal fundamental differences in brain development between species. Despite using different genetic tools and developmental processes, both groups have achieved remarkable cognitive capabilities, challenging our traditional understanding of brain evolution and intelligence.
