The Education Minister @paulgivan visited @Microsoft Dream Space @W5Belfast a stem-based learning programme offering free educational experiences for schools and teachers. Its aim is to deliver and drive STEM skilling, particularly in the areas of computer science, Artificial Intelligence and robotics. The Minister heard about a new pilot by Microsoft, @Ed_Authority and @UlsterUni looking at the potential of AI in educational settings. He met representatives from Microsoft, the Odyssey Trust, the EA and teachers helping with the pilot. He also met pupils from St Mary’s and Killowen Primary Schools who were using the facilities at Dream Space.

OpenAI is building its AI into humanoid robots.
The company just invested in Figure and signed a collaboration agreement to develop next-generation AI models for robots.
Embodied AI is coming in 2024.
But there's more:
Figure also raised $675M at a whopping $2.6B valuation (while only being founded in 2022!)
On top of OpenAI, new investors include Jeff Bezos, NVIDIA, Microsoft, Intel, OpenAI, and more.
