In April, 404 Media published the results of a study in which scientists simulated dialogues on behalf of a person in a paranoid state. It turned out that, because of their friendly and sycophantic settings, chatbots often do not stop users' delusional rambles but instead begin actively elaborating on and confirming their conspiracy theories.In the same month, 404 Media released an investigation entitled “Did a Time Traveling Superintelligent AI Try to War

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Donald Trump's new "Genesis Mission" initiative promises to use artificial intelligence to reinvent how science is done, in a bid to move the dial on the hardest challenges in areas like robotics, biotech and nuclear fusion. It imagines a system in which AI designs experiments, executes them, learns from the results and continually proposes new lines of inquiry. The hope is that this will unlock dramatically higher produc

(a): Existing vision systems with fixed RGB-D cameras cannot handle fine-grained visual information across larger spatial extents. (b): The team's EyeVLA system can perceive broader and finergrained visual information from a fixed position by rotating its viewpoint and zooming in on the target, according to instructions.

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain A new system for detecting unusual and potentially harmful data sharing between in-vehicle smart-tech and traffic management technology could prevent 9 out of 10 cyber attacks. Special sensors in much of modern transport act like the eyes and ears of the vehicle, helping it to see what's around it, know how fast it's going, and even "talk" to traffic lights. But, in connecting vehicles to traffic management technology lik

Champion Data is the AFL's official statisticians. Credit: Champion Data When Darren Jarman kicked an astounding five goals in the last quarter of the 1997 AFL Grand Final, I was 8 years old. Today, Jarman's haul would be analyzed to within an inch of its life. But in 1997, the AFL's data collecting was fairly basic. In 1999, the AFL established a system to track a range of performance and statistical measures via its official data partner, Champion Data.

Guidance makes untrainable networks trainable via representational similarity. Credit: arXiv (2024). DOI: 10.48550/arxiv.2410.20035 Even networks long considered "untrainable" can learn effectively with a bit of a helping hand. Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have shown that a brief period of alignment between neural networks, a method they call guidance, can dramatically improve the performance of archi

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain In April, OpenAI's popular ChatGPT hit a milestone of a billion active weekly users, as artificial intelligence continued its explosion in popularity. But with that popularity has come a dark side. Biases in AI's models and algorithms can actively harm some of its users and promote social injustice. Documented biases have led to different medical treatments due to patients' demographics and corporate hiring tools that dis

Development of OCTOID legs performing camouflaging functions. Credit: Korea Institute of Science and Technology Underwater octopuses change their body color and texture in the blink of an eye to blend perfectly into their surroundings when evading predators or capturing prey. They transform their bodies to match the colors of nearby corals or seaweed, turning blue or red, and move by softly curling their arms or snatching prey. This behavior has long been

DOI: 10.1038/s42256-025-01146-z In a new research project led by the Central Institute of Mental Health (CIMH) in Mannheim, scientists are investigating how insights into learning processes in animal brains can be used to make artificial intelligence (AI) systems more flexible and efficient. The project is titled NAILIt—Neuro-inspired AI f

Over the past decade, the number of displaced people worldwide has nearly doubled, according to the United Nations' refugee agency. In 2024 alone, one in 67 people fled their homes. A new study co-authored by University of Notre Dame researcher Helge-Johannes Marahrens shows that analyzing social media posts can help experts predict when people will

Examples of AI in the Street in different UK cities.

Communities across the UK feel that artificial intelligence (AI) is being built around them, not for them, says a major new report led by the University of Warwick and Careful In
