Brown University researchers have developed an artificial intelligence model that can generate movement in robots and animated figures in much the same way that AI models like ChatGPT generate text.

Large language models (LLMs) are artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can understand and generate human language by analyzing and processing large amounts of text. In a new essay, a Carnegie Mellon University researcher critiques an article on LLMs and provides a nuanced look at the models' limits for analyzing sensitive discourse, such as hate speech. The commentary is published in the Journal of Multicultural Discourses.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) facilitates the compilation of huge volumes of data, which often include copyrighted materials. While debates about the legality of the process abound, in a recent report issued by the US Copyright Office, researchers examine to what degree allowing or restricting this practice serves the economic objectives of copyright. In short, does AI shift the balance between incentives and access, and what policies could recalibrate that balance?

The problem is simple: it's hard to know whether a photo's real or not anymore. Photo manipulation tools are so good, so common and easy to use, that a picture's truthfulness is no longer guaranteed.

With the development of AI writing assistants like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, large language models (LLMs) are now used in various writing professions to generate ideas and work more efficiently.

Oregon State University College of Engineering researchers have developed a more efficient chip as an antidote to the vast amounts of electricity consumed by large-language-model artificial intelligence applications like Gemini and GPT-4.

Sam Altman's reputation for spin was out in full force this week in a published "letter to employees" announcing that he was abandoning plans to turn OpenAI into a for-profit company. Instead, it will "continue to be overseen and controlled" by its nonprofit board.

Women's sport is more and more getting the attention it deserves.

Writers are not passive victims of AI disruption but active crafters of their professional futures, according to new research from New York University presented at the ACM CHI conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in Yokohama, Japan.

A human clearing junk out of an attic can often guess the contents of a box simply by picking it up and giving it a shake, without the need to see what's inside. Researchers from MIT, Amazon Robotics, and the University of British Columbia have taught robots to do something similar.

MIT engineers are getting in on the robotic ping pong game with a powerful, lightweight design that returns shots with high-speed precision.

A team of researchers from Cornell Tech is reimagining how technology can support users with speech disabilities—not just in functional speech, but also in making real-time jokes during conversations.

OpenAI on Wednesday announced an initiative to help countries build their own artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructures, with the US government a partner in projects.

Wouldn't it be great if music creators had someone to brainstorm with, help them when they're stuck, and explore different musical directions together? Researchers at KAIST and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have developed AI technology similar to a fellow songwriter who helps create music.

Researchers from the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) at the University of Oxford have uncovered a dramatic rise in easily accessible AI tools specifically designed to create deepfake images of identifiable people, finding nearly 35,000 such tools available for public download on one popular globally accessible online platform, for example.

Alessandro Ingrosso, researcher at the Donders Institute for Neuroscience, has developed a new mathematical method in collaboration with colleagues in two Italian research institutions, which enables the prediction of the effectiveness of transfer learning in neural networks.

Imagine applying for a job, only to find out that an algorithm powered by artificial intelligence (AI) rejected your résumé before a human even saw it. Or imagine visiting a doctor where treatment options are chosen by a machine you can't question.

Last week, Meta—the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, Threads and WhatsApp—unveiled a new "personal artificial intelligence (AI)."

Google last year began offering some artificial intelligence firms a way to anchor chatbot responses in its search results, but still reserves key features for its own AI service, Gemini, a company executive testified.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said artificial intelligence will play a key role in unlocking new tools for health, education and agriculture at a meeting with Indonesia's president on Wednesday.

To create a more resilient electric grid that meets the nation's increasing power demands, utilities are incorporating a wider array of energy sources. But this shift requires the ability to predict how the grid will react to fluctuations in the flow of electricity from new sources of power.

What would a behind-the-scenes look at a video generated by an artificial intelligence model be like? You might think the process is similar to stop-motion animation, where many images are created and stitched together, but that's not quite the case for "diffusion models" like OpenAI's SORA and Google's VEO 2.

The 2002 sci-fi thriller "Minority Report" depicted a dystopian future where a specialized police unit was tasked with arresting people for crimes they had not yet committed. Directed by Steven Spielberg and based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, the drama revolved around "PreCrime"—a system informed by a trio of psychics, or "precogs," who anticipated future homicides, allowing police officers to intervene and prevent would-be assailants from claiming their targets' lives.

Recent artificial intelligence advances have largely focused on text, but AI increasingly shows promise in other contexts, including manufacturing and the service industry. In these sectors, targeted AI improvements can improve product quality and worker safety, according to a new study co-authored by an interdisciplinary team of experts from the University of Notre Dame.

An estimated 90% of the training data for current generative AI systems stems from English. However, English is an international lingua franca with about 1.5 billion speakers worldwide, and countless varieties.

If there's one thing that characterizes driving in any major city, it's the constant stop-and-go as traffic lights change and as cars and trucks merge and separate and turn and park. This constant stopping and starting is extremely inefficient, driving up the amount of pollution, including greenhouse gases, that gets emitted per mile of driving.

A team of researchers has created a novel machine learning tool that's cracking open one of biology's trickiest puzzles: finding the rarest microbes on Earth. Think of it like finding a needle in a haystack, except the needle is microscopic and might hold the key to how our ecosystems work.

Sam's Club is going register-free and introducing an all-digital, AI-powered shopping experience for its customers, a move that has privacy advocates worried that the new AI tool could be used to unfairly target some customers with higher-priced items based on their shopping habits.

Language learning machines, such as ChatGPT, have become proficient in solving complex mathematical problems, passing difficult exams, and even offering advice for interpersonal conflicts. However, at what point does a helpful tool become a threat?

A global group of broadcasters and publishers is calling on artificial intelligence developers to make sure their technology serves the public by helping to counter misinformation and protect the value of fact-based news.
