The Wimbledon tennis tournament in 2025 has brought us familiar doses of scorching sunshine and pouring rain, British hopes and despair, and the usual queues, strawberries and on-court stardust. One major difference with this year's tournament, however, has been the notable absence of human line judges for the first time in 147 years.

The European Union on Thursday released a code of practice on general purpose artificial intelligence to help thousands of businesses in the 27-nation bloc using the technology comply with the bloc's landmark AI rule book.

Detecting writing via artificial intelligence is a tricky dance: Doing it right means being effective at identifying it while being careful not to falsely accuse a human of employing it. And few tools strike the right balance.

Since early January 2025, residents of Birmingham in the UK have been caught in the dispute between the city council and the Unite union over pay, terms and conditions for waste and recycling collectors. The latest attempt at talks broke down in acrimony.

When successful artist Ai-Da unveiled a new portrait of King Charles this week, the humanoid robot described what inspired the layered and complex piece, and insisted it had no plans to "replace" humans.

Imagine a physician attempting to reach a cancerous nodule deep within a patient's lung—a target the size of a pea, hidden behind a maze of critical blood vessels and airways that shift with every breath. Straying one millimeter off course could puncture a major artery, and falling short could mean missing the cancer entirely, allowing it to spread untreated.

When you log onto LinkedIn, you're normally presented with suggestions to connect with people you know, either because you went to the same university as them, or worked in the same company or industry.

A robot trained on videos of surgeries performed a lengthy phase of a gallbladder removal without human help. The robot operated for the first time on a lifelike patient, and during the operation, responded to and learned from voice commands from the team—like a novice surgeon working with a mentor.

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.

An advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been developed that can extract three-dimensional (3D) spatial structure and object information within indoor environments using just a single 360-degree panoramic photograph. This breakthrough is expected to significantly impact fields requiring precise spatial understanding, including augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and digital twin applications.

A research team from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a novel method to generate highly detailed three-dimensional (3D) city models using radar data, addressing long-standing challenges in urban mapping.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can be made more sustainable by making practical changes, such as reducing the number of decimal places used in AI models, shortening responses, and using smaller AI models, according to research from UCL published in a new UNESCO report.

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company said Wednesday that it's taking down "inappropriate posts" made by its Grok chatbot, which appeared to include antisemitic comments that praised Adolf Hitler.

This summer, EPFL and ETH Zurich will release a large language model (LLM) developed on public infrastructure. Trained on the Alps supercomputer at the Swiss National Supercomputing Center (CSCS), the new LLM marks a milestone in open-source AI and multilingual excellence.

Conventional robots, like those used in industry and hazardous environments, are easy to model and control, but are too rigid to operate in confined spaces and uneven terrain. Soft, bio-inspired robots are far better at adapting to their environments and maneuvering in otherwise inaccessible places.

Celebrities are all too familiar with the world of deepfakes, the colloquial term for artificial-intelligence-generated videos that depict actors and other Hollywood talent falsely doing or saying things that they never agreed to.

ChatGPT works by analyzing vast amounts of text, identifying patterns and synthesizing them to generate responses to users' prompts. Color metaphors like "feeling blue" and "seeing red" are commonplace throughout the English language, and therefore comprise part of the dataset on which ChatGPT is trained.

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.

For all their impressive capabilities, large language models (LLMs) often fall short when given challenging new tasks that require complex reasoning skills.

If you have always wanted a personal shopping assistant, you may be in luck: The tech industry is creating digital ones that can buy things for you.

"And do you work well with AI?"

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.

The latest generative AI models such as OpenAI's ChatGPT-4 and Google's Gemini 2.5 require not only high memory bandwidth but also large memory capacity. This is why generative AI cloud operating companies like Microsoft and Google purchase hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs.

Professional basketball is faster, more physical, and increasingly tactically sophisticated. Even the smallest foul can tilt the balance of a game. Now, research published in the International Journal of Computational Systems Engineering shows how artificial intelligence, specifically machine vision, could bring unprecedented precision to one of the sport's most contested areas: the detection of fouls.

A research team, led by Professor Jaejun Yoo from the Graduate School of Artificial Intelligence at UNIST has announced the development of an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model, "BF-STVSR (Bidirectional Flow-based Spatio-Temporal Video Super-Resolution)," capable of simultaneously improving both video resolution and frame rate.

Researchers have developed a technique that significantly improves the performance of large language models without increasing the computational power necessary to fine-tune the models. The researchers demonstrated that their technique improves the performance of these models over previous techniques in tasks including commonsense reasoning, arithmetic reasoning, instruction following, code generation, and visual recognition.

Large language models (LLMs), such as the model underpinning the functioning of OpenAI's conversational platform ChatGPT, are now widely used by people worldwide to source information and generate content for various purposes.

The language capabilities of today's artificial intelligence systems are astonishing. We can now engage in natural conversations with systems like ChatGPT, Gemini, and many others, with a fluency nearly comparable to that of a human being. Yet we still know very little about the internal processes in these networks that lead to such remarkable results.

Oblivious to the punishing midday heat, a wheeled robot powered by the sun and infused with artificial intelligence carefully combs a cotton field in California, plucking out weeds.

Customers contact companies regularly to purchase products and services, inquire about orders, make payments and request returns. Until recently, the most common way for customers to contact companies was through phone calls or by interacting with human agents via company websites and mobile apps.
