The AI video sector has crossed several milestones in just a few months. Gone are the days of six-fingered hands or distorted faces—AI-generated video is becoming increasingly convincing, attracting Hollywood, artists, and advertisers, while shaking the foundations of the creative industry. To measure the progress of AI video, you need only look at Will Smith eating spaghetti. Since 2023, this unlikely sequence—entirely fabricated—has become a technologica

These agents, powered by artificial intelligence, might purchase groceries, book plane tickets, or get your Aunt Gertrude a birthday present. All you will have to do is hand over your credit card or other payment information and set a budget and preferences. The shopping assis

Named "Velvet Sundown", the AI-generated band have racked up millions of listeners on Spotify. An indie rock band with more than a million monthly listeners on Spotify has owned up to being an AI-generated music project following days of speculation about whether the group was real. Named Velvet Sundown—seemingly a nod to Lou Reed's band The Velvet Underground—the digital group has become a viral hit, generating ferocious online discussion after racking up

Surgie, a humanoid medical robot, is about to give an ultrasound to a patient. Credit: David Baillot/University of California San Diego As waiting rooms fill up, doctors get increasingly burned out, and surgeries take longer to schedule and more get canceled, humanoid surgical robots offer a solution. That's the argument that UC San Diego robotics expert Michael Yip makes in a perspective piece in Science Robotics. Today's surgical robots are costly pieces

Fighter jets like the F/A-18 need to fold their wings to fit on crowded aircraft carriers. The system that folds the wings relies on heavy mechanical parts

No. According to game researcher Tobias Michael Scholz, gaming is an effective way to spot skills that job seekers didn't know they had. "By observing how people play and interact with others in the game, we can get a good picture of who they really are. It can make it easier to see if they will fit into the wo

DOI: 10.1063/5.0244892 Humans began creating alloys about 5,000 years ago by combining copper and tin to produce bronze. Since then, alloy design has advanced dramatically, says Moneesh Upmanyu, professor of mechanical and industrial engineering at Northeastern University. "Now, it's definitely a science [

Migration experts in Australia weighing up the opportunities and risks of such technologies warn that more transparency, monitoring and regulation are required to oversee the use of these tools. "With many governments deploying these tools, we have seen t

And surprisingly, this might show up in plain sight—in the language of new accounting job postings. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning models, Yi Cao, assistant professor of accounting at the Donald G.
