The autonomous nature and adaptability of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered pricing algorithms make them attractive for optimizing pricing strategies in dynamic market environments. However, certain pricing algorithms may learn to engage in tacit collusion in competitive scenarios, resulting in overly competitive prices and potentially harmful consequences for consumer welfare. This has prompted policymakers and scholars to emphasize the importance of designing rules to promote competitive behavior in marketplaces.

If you've worried that AI might take your job, deprive you of your livelihood, or maybe even replace your role in society, it probably feels good to see the latest AI tools fail spectacularly. If AI recommends glue as a pizza topping, then you're safe for another day.

A new, densely annotated 3D-text dataset called 3D-GRAND can help train embodied AI, like household robots, to connect language to 3D spaces. The study, led by University of Michigan researchers, was presented at the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) Conference in Nashville, Tennessee on June 15, and published on the arXiv preprint server.

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced increasingly sophisticated machine learning-based models, which can perform remarkably well on various tasks. These include multimodal large language models (MLLMs), systems that can process and generate different types of data, predominantly texts, images and videos.

The first study to use artificial intelligence (AI) technology to generate podcasts about research published in scientific papers has shown the results were so good that half of the papers' authors thought the podcasters were human.

A new explainable AI technique transparently classifies images without compromising accuracy. The method, developed at the University of Michigan, opens up AI for situations where understanding why a decision was made is just as important as the decision itself, like medical diagnostics.

A UNSW academic's innovative research uses ocean currents to optimize shipping routes and reduce the environmental impact of sea transport.

New research from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) could help shape the future of artificial intelligence by making AI systems less resource-intensive, higher performing, and designed to emulate the human brain. The research was published in Patterns, titled "Dimensionality and dynamics for next-generation neural networks."

Your next toy or game may be able to converse with you. Mattel, the El Segundo toy maker behind Barbie and Hot Wheels, said Thursday that it's teaming up with OpenAI, which created the popular chatbot ChatGPT, to "bring the magic of AI to age-appropriate play experiences."

Vision-language models (VLMs) are advanced computational techniques designed to process both images and written texts, making predictions accordingly. Among other things, these models could be used to improve the capabilities of robots, helping them to accurately interpret their surroundings and interact with human users more effectively.

Scale AI announced a major new investment by Meta late Thursday that values the startup at more than $29 billion and puts its founder to work for the tech titan.

American AI giant Anthropic aims to boost the European tech ecosystem as it expands on the continent, product chief Mike Krieger told AFP Thursday at the Vivatech trade fair in Paris.

Researchers at UNIST have developed an AI technology capable of reconstructing three-dimensional (3D) representations of unfamiliar objects manipulated with both hands, as well as simulated surgical scenes involving intertwined hands and medical instruments. This advancement enables highly accurate augmented reality (AR) visualizations, further enhancing real-time interaction capabilities.

Thanks to artificial intelligence, robots can already perform many tasks that would otherwise require humans. In this interview, Edoardo Milana, a junior professor of soft machines in the Department of Microsystems Engineering at the University of Freiburg, explains how improved design and innovative mechanics are broadening the range of applications for these machines.

Deep learning and AI systems have made great headway in recent years, especially in their capabilities of automating complex computational tasks such as image recognition, computer vision and natural language processing. Yet, these systems consist of billions of parameters and require great memory usage as well as expensive computational cost.

It is "the policy of the United States to promote AI literacy and proficiency among Americans," reads an executive order President Donald Trump issued on April 23, 2025. The executive order, titled Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth, signals that advancing AI literacy is now an official national priority.

In the world of machine learning and artificial intelligence, clean data is everything. Even a small number of mislabeled examples known as label noise can derail the performance of a model, especially those like support vector machines (SVMs) that rely on a few key data points to make decisions.

The ability to precisely predict movements is essential not only for humans and animals, but also for many AI applications—from autonomous driving to robotics. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now discovered that artificial neural networks can perform this task better when trained with biological data from early visual system development.

Today's large language models (LLMs) process information across disciplines at unprecedented speed and are challenging higher education to rethink teaching, learning and disciplinary structures.

Imagine that you've received an email asking you to transfer money to a bank account. Some of the details look right, but how can you be sure the message is legitimate?

Products ranging from footwear to AI counterfeit detectors fill the halls of Paris's Vivatech trade fair, which runs until Saturday.

Everything ever said on the internet was just the start of teaching artificial intelligence about humanity. Tech companies are now tapping into an older repository of knowledge: the library stacks.

Over the past few decades, robots have gradually started making their way into various real-world settings, including some malls, airports and hospitals, as well as a few offices and households.

Away from the heady rush to build ultra-capable, sci-fi style artificial intelligence in Silicon Valley, ambitious Nairobi-based startup Amini AI is betting on the technology addressing emerging countries' prosaic problems in the here and now.

A team of engineers, AI specialists and chip design researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has designed, built and tested what they are describing as the first AI-based chip design system. The group has published a paper describing their system, called QiMeng, on the arXiv preprint server.

Drawing high-powered tech CEOs and a presidential visit, the Vivatech trade fair opened in Paris on Wednesday with a bang as Nvidia boss Jensen Huang announced a major push into Europe.

Entertainment giants Disney and Universal filed a copyright infringement lawsuit Wednesday against AI company Midjourney, calling the image generator a "bottomless pit of plagiarism."
