A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled an innovative, high-precision AI-powered quality inspection system that reduces inspection time from 12 minutes to just under 3 seconds. This cutting-edge technology facilitates real-time, micron-scale defect detection during continuous manufacturing processes, paving the way for fully automated, inline quality control in high-speed production environments.

Artificial intelligence or AI uses computers to perform tasks that would normally have needed human intelligence. Today AI is being put to use in many aspects of everyday life, like virtual banking assistants, health chatbots, self-driving cars, even the recommendations you see on social media.

What if we could get clean electricity more cheaply and protect the environment at the same time? A team of researchers in Korea has presented a roadmap for sustainable solar cells that integrates AI technology to bring this future closer. Their study is published in Green Chemistry and was selected as the cover of the online edition of the journal.

Artificial intelligence may well save us time by finding information faster, but it is not always a reliable researcher. It frequently makes unsupported claims that are not backed up by reliable sources. A study by Pranav Narayanan Venkit at Salesforce AI Research and colleagues found that about one-third of the statements made by AI tools like Perplexity, You.com and Microsoft's Bing Chat were not supported by the sources they provided. For OpenAI's GPT 4.5, the figure was 47%.

Scientists said Wednesday that they had created an AI model able to predict medical diagnoses years in advance, building on the same technology behind consumer chatbots like ChatGPT.

What happens when we get out of the driver's seat and our vehicles become autonomous? Mathematician Viktor Larsson is developing methods to enable cars and drones to see their surroundings. This is his insight into the self-driving present and future.

AI companies have sucked up the world's entire music catalog and are guilty of "willful, commercial-scale copyright infringement," a major music industry group told AFP.

Artificial intelligence could boost the value of global trade by almost 40% by 2040 thanks to cost reductions and productivity gains, the World Trade Organization said Wednesday.

When researchers are building large language models (LLMs), they aim to maximize performance under a particular computational and financial budget. Since training a model can amount to millions of dollars, developers need to be judicious with cost-impacting decisions about, for instance, the model architecture, optimizers, and training datasets before committing to a model.

Parents whose teenagers killed themselves after interactions with artificial intelligence chatbots testified to Congress on Tuesday about the dangers of the technology.

Millions of words spoken in the U.K.'s highest court risk being misunderstood, misquoted or simply missed because transcribing them accurately is too difficult and too expensive, according to a new study from the University of Surrey.

Training humanoid robots to hike could accelerate development of embodied AI for tasks like autonomous search and rescue, ecological monitoring in unexplored places and more, say University of Michigan researchers who developed an AI model that equips humanoids to hit the trails.

To train artificial intelligence (AI) models, researchers need good data and lots of it. However, most real-world data has already been used, leading scientists to generate synthetic data. While the generated data helps solve the issue of quantity, it may not always have good quality, and assessing its quality has been overlooked.

OpenAI's latest research paper diagnoses exactly why ChatGPT and other large language models can make things up—known in the world of artificial intelligence as "hallucination." It also reveals why the problem may be unfixable, at least as far as consumers are concerned.

Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly versatile—from route planning to text translation, it has long become a standard tool. But it is not enough for AI to simply deliver useful results: it is becoming ever more important that it also complies with legal, ethical, and social norms. But how can such norms be taught to a machine?

Generative AI promises to help solve everything from climate change to poverty. But behind every chatbot response lies a deep environmental cost.

"This is a game changer." That's how Paul Scully, New South Wales Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, described the state government's launch of a tender for an artificial intelligence (AI) solution to the housing crisis earlier this month.

A suspected North Korean state-sponsored hacking group used ChatGPT to create a deepfake of a military ID document to attack a target in South Korea, according to cybersecurity researchers.

How do humans manage to adapt to completely new situations and why do machines so often struggle with this? This central question is explored by researchers from cognitive science and artificial intelligence (AI) in a joint article published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence. Among the authors are Professor Dr. Barbara Hammer and Professor Dr. Benjamin Paaßen from Bielefeld University.

A new innovation from Cornell researchers lowers the energy use needed to power artificial intelligence—a step toward shrinking the carbon footprints of data centers and AI infrastructure.

OpenAI has reached a new tentative agreement with Microsoft and said its nonprofit, which technically controls its business, will now be given a $100 billion equity stake in its for-profit corporation.

A top Google scientist and 2024 Nobel laureate said Friday that the most important skill for the next generation will be "learning how to learn" to keep pace with change as Artificial Intelligence transforms education and the workplace.

Just for a moment this week, Larry Ellison, co-founder of US cloud computing company Oracle, became the world's richest person. The octogenarian tech titan briefly overtook Elon Musk after Oracle's share price rocketed 43% in a day, adding about US$100 billion (A$150 billion) to his wealth.

The US Federal Trade Commission announced Thursday it has launched an inquiry into AI chatbots that act as digital companions, focusing on potential risks to children and teenagers.

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama said Thursday he had appointed the world's first AI-generated government minister to oversee public tenders, promising its artificial intelligence would make it "corruption-free."

The Federal Trade Commission has launched an inquiry into several social media and artificial intelligence companies about the potential harms to children and teenagers who use their AI chatbots as companions.

Exoskeletons typically work by implementing motions programmed in advance and having the user call for them, making it difficult to use them for a wide range of motions in real-life environments.

With the proliferation of online hate speech—which, research shows, can increase political polarization and damage mental health—leading artificial intelligence companies have released large language models that promise automatic content filtering.

By challenging AI chatbots to judge thousands of moral dilemmas posted in a popular Reddit forum, UC Berkeley researchers revealed that each platform appears to follow its own set of ethics.

Artificial intelligence is changing how we shop online, but when it comes to selling products through livestreams, humans still have the edge.
