AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoQuantum Computing: Australian startup Diraq is testing an eight-qubit silicon quantum computer inside a commercial data centre in Sydney, a first-of-its-kind trial. The system uses under 20 kilowatts; its developers say quantum computing could eventually help reduce the energy burden of AI, though that promise remains unproven. Mental Health: A new study reports that AI-guided, non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation reduced PTSD symptoms in two weeks, pointing to a possible treatment for patients who haven’t benefited from standard approaches. Clean Water: Researchers at Australian National University are developing plant-inspired membranes to recover nitrogen and other resources from industrial wastewater. Research Talent: South Korea will let professors at overseas universities hold approved concurrent posts at Korean universities in fields including AI and other advanced technologies, starting Nov. 20.
