Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain A study of Chile's workforce finds that AI could "accelerate" nearly half of the tasks performed by the country's 100 most common jobs. Generative AI has been pitched as a great leveler—a way to increase productivity, slash red tape and busy work, and narrow skills gaps. A new study by Gabriel Weintraub, a professor of operations, information, and technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business, quantifies the potentia

Differences in processes with and without hardware accelerators. Credit: Electronics (2024). DOI: 10.3390/electronics13234683 Large language models (LLMs) like BERT and GPT are driving major advances in artificial intelligence, but their size and complexity typically require powerful servers and cloud infrastructure. Running these models directly on devices—without relying on external computation—has remained a difficult technical challenge. A research tea

Google parent company Alphabet's cloud computing business is on pace to bring in $50 billion over the course of 2025, according to the tech giant. Google-parent Alphabet on Wednesday reported quarterly profits that topped expectations, saying artificial intelligence has boosted every part of its business. Alphabet's second-quarter profit of $28.2 billion—on $96.4 billion in revenue—came with word that the tech giant will spend $10 billion more than it prev

A site, B site and O ions are represented by white, dark gray and yellow spheres, respectively. Red and blue BO4 tetrahedra correspond to down- and up-polarized layers, respectively. Gray BO6 octahedra show centrosymmetric non-polar layer

Meta locks itself out of user data on its AI glasses Meta is expanding Private Processing to its AI glasses, extending their security protections into cloud data centers. The system runs AI models inside confidential virtual machines (CVMs) designed to prevent Meta from accessing users’ data. Private Processing combines protected hardware, encryption and software verification to secure data during cloud processing and storage. How Private Processing suppor

“Drunk” AI is terrible at keeping secrets AI models taught to write like drunk people became easier to jailbreak and more likely to leak secrets shared in confidence. That is the finding of UNSW Sydney researchers Anudeex Shetty, Aditya Joshi and Salil Kanhere, published in their paper “In Vino Veritas and Vulnerabilities.” “The key research question from the natural language processing (NLP) side for me was, how do we get LLMs drunk?” said Aditya Joshi, a

16-year-old researcher breaks into Microsoft analytics service with access to 17 trillion rows of data A flaw in Titan, an internal Microsoft analytics service, could have let an attacker read employee records and Bing search analytics, a 16-year-old security researcher has disclosed. The researcher, who goes by Faav, found that Titan did not verify the signature on login tokens. That let him pose as the service’s administrator and run SQL queries against

President Donald Trump has passed away after succumbing to a rabies infection given to him by Vice President J.D. Vance, who also died of rabies. That news comes to us via the AI-generated search results provided by privacy-centric search engine DuckDuckGo. How exactly DuckDuckGo’s search results came to this conclusion is a bit convoluted, but a familiar enough concept at this juncture for anyone exposed to AI-powered search. It’s one part AI doing a bad

According to many true-believers, the biggest promise of AI is its potential to accelerate scientific discovery; once-in-a-generation breakthroughs could one day become routine, thanks to algorithms. By extracting patterns from troves of data far too vast for any human mind to fathom, so the thinking goes, AI scientists could eventually help solve some of humanity’s most dire technical problems: climate change, cancer, even—according to diehard transhumani

If you were a charter school with a cool half a million to drop, what would you spend it on? Budgeting for multiple new teachers? Perhaps expanding your curriculum or purchasing new teaching materials? Funding some sort of overseas trip to broaden your students’ horizons? Capital expenditure on your campus? Scholarships for underprivileged kids? If you answered any of the above, that’s why you’re not running a charter school. The correct answer is “buying

The White House released the "AI Action Plan" Wednesday, vowing to expedite permitting for construction of energy-intensive data centers as it look

Credit: Jamillah Knowles & Digit/Better Images of AI, CC BY-SA Self-correction is fundamental to science. One of its most important forms is peer review, when anonymous experts scrutinize research before it is published. This helps safeguard the accuracy of the written record. Yet problems slip through. A range of grassroots and institutional initiatives work to identify problematic papers, strengthen the peer-review process, and clean up the scientific re

Dr. Shuiwang Ji, a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University and a leading expert in the emerging field of AI for science and engineering—commonly referred to as AI4Science—is at the forefront of using AI to accelerate scientific problem solving.

But the federal government has recently stopped approving offshore projects in the ocean. Another option is available, though: the Great Lakes, where we are based as water policy researchers, and where state agencies rather than federal officials are the trustees of the lakes.

Datasets used to train AI algorithms may underrepresent older people. Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain New technologies usually follow the technology adoption life cycle. Innovators and early adopters rush to embrace new technologies, while laggards and skeptics jump in much later. At first glance, it looks like artificial intelligence is following the same pattern, but a new crop of studies suggests that AI might follow a different course—one with signif
