For all the talk about artificial intelligence upending the world, its economic effects remain uncertain. There is massive investment in AI but little clarity about what it will produce.

A new machine learning (ML) model from Georgia Tech could protect communities from diseases, better manage electricity consumption in cities, and promote business growth, all at the same time.

Quadruped robots integrating manipulators could potentially tackle tasks that entail manipulating objects while swiftly moving around in their surrounding environment. These include tasks such as collecting the trash around the house, collecting specific objects and bringing them to humans or depositing target items at specific locations.

Technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) are already affecting our everyday lives—from the systems that facilitate movie and music selections to language assistants that formulate emails. But what developments will come along in the coming years?

If you use social media, you've likely come across deepfakes. These are video or audio clips of politicians, celebrities or others manipulated using artificial intelligence (AI) to make it appear like the person is saying or doing something they haven't actually said or done.

A new machine-learning weather prediction model called GenCast can outperform the best traditional forecasting systems in at least some situations, according to a paper by Google DeepMind researchers published today in Nature.

Over the past two years, we have seen much written about the "promise and peril" of artificial intelligence (AI). Some have suggested AI systems might aid in the construction of chemical or biological weapons.

The Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and several collaborating institutions have successfully demonstrated a machine-learning technique to accelerate the discovery of materials for film capacitors—crucial components in electrification and renewable energy technologies. The technique was used to screen a library of nearly 50,000 chemical structures to identify a compound with record-breaking performance.

In the age of AI, how we form relationships and communicate is changing. Dating apps, chatbots and digital avatars are increasingly common, offering us new ways to connect, communicate and even find love.

Car design is an iterative and proprietary process. Carmakers can spend several years on the design phase for a car, tweaking 3D forms in simulations before building out the most promising designs for physical testing. The details and specs of these tests, including the aerodynamics of a given car design, are typically not made public. Significant advances in performance, such as in fuel efficiency or electric vehicle range, can therefore be slow and siloed from company to company.

OpenAI and military defense technology company Anduril Industries said Wednesday that they would work together to use artificial intelligence for "national security missions."

The largest artificial intelligence data center ever built by Facebook's parent company Meta is coming to northeast Louisiana, the company said Wednesday, bringing hopes that the $10 billion facility will transform an economically neglected corner of the state.

In 2018, Google DeepMind's AlphaZero program taught itself the games of chess, shogi, and Go using machine learning and a special algorithm to determine the best moves to win a game within a defined grid. Now, a team of Caltech researchers has developed an analogous algorithm for autonomous robots—a planning and decision-making control system that helps freely moving robots determine the best movements to make as they navigate the real world.

Researchers at CAMERA, the University of Bath's Centre for Analysis of Motion, Entertainment and Research Applications, have developed open access software that analyzes motion capture data, without using markers. They have shown the markerless system to offer clinicians, sports coaches and physiotherapists an unobtrusive way of analyzing body movements from video footage that is comparable to using markers.

Creating realistic 3D models for applications like virtual reality, filmmaking, and engineering design can be a cumbersome process requiring lots of manual trial and error.

Three-dimensional object detection is crucial for autonomous vehicles. It utilizes point cloud data generated by LiDAR to help autonomous vehicles identify surrounding objects. This technology is essential for the safety and efficiency of autonomous driving.

Amazon on Tuesday unveiled a suite of artificial intelligence models in its boldest move yet to compete with tech giant rivals in the fast-growing generative AI sector.

During your first driving class, the instructor probably sat next to you, offering immediate advice on every turn, stop and minor adjustment. If it was a parent, they might have even grabbed the wheel a few times and shouted "Brake!" Over time, those corrections and insights developed experience and intuition, turning you into an independent, capable driver.

AI firms have long boasted about the enormous size and capabilities of their products, but they are increasingly looking at leaner, smaller models that they say will save on energy and cost.

When you visit a hospital, artificial intelligence (AI) models can assist doctors by analyzing medical images or predicting patient outcomes based on historical data. If you apply for a job, AI algorithms can be used to screen resumés, rank job candidates and even conduct initial interviews. When you want to watch a movie on Netflix, a recommendation algorithm predicts which movies you're likely to enjoy based on your viewing habits. Even when you are driving, predictive algorithms are at work in navigation apps like Waze and Google Maps, optimizing routes and predicting traffic patterns to ensure faster travel.

A team of researchers from the Department of Information Security at Royal Holloway, University of London have highlighted major privacy risks in technologies designed to help people permanently remove image-based sexual abuse (IBSA) material—such as non-consensual intimate images—from the Internet.

The rapid advancement and adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the field of communications. AI-powered tools can now generate convincing text, images, audio and video from textual prompts.

A trio of AI researchers from Cornell University, Signal Foundation, and Now Institute have published a Perspective piece in the journal Nature, arguing that well-known open LLMs are not nearly as open as their makers claim.

Generative models, artificial neural networks that can generate images or texts, have become increasingly advanced in recent years. These models can also be advantageous for creating annotated images to train algorithms for computer vision, which are designed to classify images or objects contained within them.

Japan is planning to use AI to police anime and manga pirating websites that the pop-culture powerhouse accuses of costing it billions of dollars in lost revenue every year.

In urban environments, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) often struggle with signal obstructions caused by tall buildings, vehicles, and other structures. These obstacles lead to Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) errors that cause positioning inaccuracies, which are particularly problematic for technologies like autonomous vehicles and intelligent transportation systems.

Teenagers use generative artificial intelligence for many purposes, including emotional support and social interactions. A study by University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers found that parents have little understanding of GAI, how their children use it and its potential risks, and that GAI platforms offer insufficient protection to ensure children's safety.

A common challenge for marketers is understanding and engaging with people who have "thin" data profiles, such as donors with little demographic information or brief interaction histories that leave organizations without a clear picture of their interests.
