Artificial muscles use ultrasound-activated microbubbles to move
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed artificial muscles that contain microbubbles and can be controlled with ultrasound. In the future, these muscles could be deployed in technical and medical settings as gripper arms, tissue patches, targeted drug delivery, or robots.

Senator Marsha Blackburn said
“I look forward to introducing the
"TRUMP AMERICA AI Act"
in the new year to create one federal rulebook for AI
to protect children, creators, conservatives, and communities"
Combats the consistent pattern of bias against conservative figures demonstrated by Big Tech and AI systems by requiring:
Audits of high-risk AI systems to undergo regular bias evaluations to prevent discrimination based on protected characte…

Blackburn Unveils National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence

This focus on the artificial body as opposed to an artificial mind has persisted within Japanese robotics research, with strictly ‘AI’- related work emerging only in the late 1980s/early 1990s, largely out of a confrontation with Western scholarship.

Instead of invasive electrodes (Neuralink Blindsight) or ultrasound ( invasive irreversible gene therapy and/or neural dust, Merge Labs), The vOICe vision BCI uses audible sound and is completely noninvasive https://www.artificialvision.com/neuralink.htm and it works, gives functional v…
