Household appliances need to be refurbished and/or recycled at the end of their useful lives. The KIKERP project (see below) aims to harness artificial intelligence to collect information about used appliances and determine parameters such as model and condition to help decide whether a particular device should be refurbished or recycled.

Researchers have demonstrated a new way of attacking artificial intelligence computer vision systems, allowing them to control what the AI "sees." The research shows that the new technique, called RisingAttacK, is effective at manipulating all of the most widely used AI computer vision systems.

In the world of high finance, companies are hedging their bets on artificial intelligence (AI). Indeed, AI has already been used in algorithmic trading and fraud detection. As the technology grows more powerful and autonomous, so there is an urgent need to put in place checks and balances to ensure ethical and valid use of these tools.

Line judges were as much a part of the Wimbledon tennis championships as strawberries and cream. But their demise in favor of technology is being felt by both players and fans alike.

As AI systems expand their already impressive capacities, there is an increasingly common belief that the field of computer science (CS) will soon be a thing of the past. This is being communicated to today's prospective students in the form of well-meaning advice, but much of it amounts to little more than hearsay from individuals who, despite their intelligence, speak outside of their expertise.

Some say it's em dashes, dodgy apostrophes, or too many emoji. Others suggest that maybe the word "delve" is a chatbot's calling card. It's no longer the sight of morphed bodies or too many fingers, but it might be something just a little off in the background. Or video content that feels a little too real.

It's estimated it can take an AI model over 6,000 joules of energy to generate a single text response. By comparison, your brain needs just 20 joules every second to keep you alive and cognitive.

Apple Inc. is considering using artificial intelligence technology from Anthropic PBC or OpenAI to power a new version of Siri, sidelining its own in-house models in a potentially blockbuster move aimed at turning around its flailing AI effort.

Cornell researchers have developed an AI-powered process that automatically transforms a short video of a room into an interactive, 3D simulation of the space.

Diffusion models like OpenAI's DALL-E are becoming increasingly useful in helping brainstorm new designs. Humans can prompt these systems to generate an image, create a video, or refine a blueprint, and come back with ideas they hadn't considered before.

Robotic systems have the potential to greatly enhance daily living for the over one billion individuals worldwide who experience some form of disability. Brain-computer interfaces or BCIs present a compelling option by enabling direct communication between the brain and external devices, bypassing traditional muscle-based control.

Mark Zuckerberg and Meta are spending billions to recruit top artificial intelligence talent, triggering debates about whether the aggressive hiring spree will pay off in the competitive generative AI race.

A new international study finds that people place greater emotional value on empathy they believe comes from humans—even when the exact same response is generated by artificial intelligence.

In documenting and recording society's collective data on an unprecedented scale, artificial intelligence is becoming humanity's historian—changing the way we record information for posterity.

For people who are blind or have low vision, the audio descriptions of action in movies and TV shows are essential to understanding what is happening. Networks and streaming services hire professionals to create audio descriptions, but that's not the case for billions of YouTube and TikTok videos.

AI chatbots have already become embedded into some people's lives, but how many really know how they work? Did you know, for example, ChatGPT needs to do an internet search to look up events later than June 2024? Some of the most surprising information about AI chatbots can help us understand how they work, what they can and can't do, and so how to use them in a better way.

A federal judge has upheld a ruling directing OpenAI to preserve logs and data slated for deletion after news outlets, including the Daily News, suing the technology giant, accused the company of hiding evidence of copyright infringement.

For a U.S. citizen arriving in Atlanta these days, there's a world in which you might not even need to pull out your passport.

A machine learning approach leverages nuclear microreactor symmetry to reduce training time when modeling power output adjustments, according to a study led by University of Michigan researchers, published in the journal Energy Conversion and Management: X.

While China's men's soccer team hasn't generated much excitement in recent years, humanoid robot teams have won over fans in Beijing based more on the AI technology involved than any athletic prowess shown.

The world's most advanced AI models are exhibiting troubling new behaviors—lying, scheming, and even threatening their creators to achieve their goals.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere lately—on the news, in podcasts and around every water cooler. A new, buzzy term, artificial general intelligence (AGI), is dominating conversations and raising more questions than it answers.

Researchers have discovered a modern solution to detect vault applications (apps) on smartphones, which could be a game-changer for law enforcement. The paper is published in the journal Future Internet.

In high-stakes situations like health care—or weeknight "Jeopardy!"—it can be safer to say "I don't know" than to answer incorrectly. Doctors, game show contestants, and standardized test-takers understand this, but most artificial intelligence applications still prefer to give a potentially wrong answer rather than admit uncertainty.

When teaching a Photoshop class at a children's summer camp, Stevens undergraduate student Gursimran Vasir noticed something strange.

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to "intelligent machines and algorithms that can reason and adapt based on sets of rules and environments which mimic human intelligence." This field is evolving rapidly and the education sector, for one, is abuzz with discussion on AI use for writing.

A team of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have dreamed up, developed, and tested a novel voice-controlled artificial intelligence (AI) assistant designed to break down everyday barriers for busy scientists.

Researchers at NYU Tandon School of Engineering have created VeriGen, the first specialized artificial intelligence model successfully trained to generate Verilog code, the programming language that describes how a chip's circuitry functions.

Artificial intelligence is considered to be computationally and energy-intensive—a challenge for the Internet of Things (IoT), where small, embedded sensors have to make do with limited computing power, little memory and small batteries.

Scientists have revealed that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), a type of deep learning algorithm, demonstrate superior performance compared to conventional non-machine learning approaches when used to detect lies and deception.
