China Takes the Lead in Multimodal Artificial Intelligence
This article discusses a new kind of artificial intelligence (AI) called multimodal AI. Unlike traditional AI, which focuses on one type of data (e.g., text, images), multimodal AI can process many data types together, as humans do. This allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the world. The article also mentions a race between the US and China in developing AI. China recently released a powerful multimodal AI model called WuDao 2.0, which may be more sophisticated than other systems.

Cognitive Technologies Can Help Fill Job Vacancies
The article explores the challenges of filling job openings as economies reopen. There's a high demand for AI expertise, including data scientists and machine learning engineers, to address labor shortages. While these jobs are in high demand, there's a lack of skilled workers. Cognitive technologies can help bridge this gap by automating some tasks and making data analysis more accessible to non-experts.
