X (formerly Twitter) launched its "Community Notes" program in 2021 to combat misinformation by allowing users to add contextual notes on posts that might be deceptive or lead to misinterpretation. An example would be users labeling an AI-generated video as such, so that other users would not be tricked into believing the event in the video actually occurred. Community notes are rated by the decentralized social media community to determine their usefulness. Only the notes determined useful by raters are shown on the post. X's Community Notes later inspired other platforms to launch similar programs.

The more we interact with robots, the more human we perceive them to become—according to new research from the University of East Anglia, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance.

The Berlin Institute for the Foundations of Learning and Data (BIFOLD) announces the open-source release of NebulaStream, a next-generation stream processing engine built for the unique challenges faced in IoT environments.

Recently, spoken language models (SLMs) have been highlighted as next-generation technology that surpasses the limitations of text-based language models by learning human speech without text to understand and generate linguistic and non-linguistic information.

Marine scientists have long marveled at how animals like fish and seals swim so efficiently despite having different shapes. Their bodies are optimized for efficient aquatic navigation (or hydrodynamics), so they can exert minimal energy when traveling long distances.

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed the SPADE (Simulator-assisted PerformAbility Design methodology for UAV-based Systems) approach for accurate quality assessments of uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) video surveillance systems. The work is published in the journal Future Generation Computer Systems.

A study, led by Dr. Wentao Huang, overcame a critical gap in five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) diagnostics: conventional methods fail to assess inter-turn short-circuit (ITSC) severity. The method integrates two technologies: a real-time tracker that diagnoses faults, and an AI analyzer that processes signals to quantify damage while estimating short-circuit parameters.

Dozens of Europe's biggest companies urged the EU to hit the pause button on its landmark AI rules on Thursday, warning that going too fast could harm the bloc's ability to lead in the global AI race.

If you're using ChatGPT but getting mediocre results, don't blame the chatbot. Instead, try sharpening up your prompts.

As artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly grows—a recent UN Trade and Development report projects the global AI market soaring to $4.8 trillion by 2033—the technology seems equipped to handle any task. Driving cars. Analyzing medical images. Making music. Having a conversation.

Artificial intelligence models used to detect depression on social media are often biased and methodologically flawed, according to a study led by Northeastern University computer science graduates.

Researchers at Abertay University have raised concerns that advances in AI voice technology could be exploited by scammers to target unsuspecting victims by using regional accents.

Within a few months of Hertz announcing the launch of artificial intelligence for vehicle inspections, starting at the Atlanta airport, the car rental company is facing some backlash after a customer reported getting hit with a $440 charge for a scuff on a wheel.

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich have developed an artificial intelligence model that can simulate human behavior with remarkable accuracy. The language model, called Centaur, was trained on more than ten million decisions from psychological experiments—and makes decisions in ways that closely resemble those of real people. This opens new avenues for understanding human cognition and improving psychological theories.

When we write something to another person, over email or perhaps on social media, we may not state things directly, but our words may instead convey a latent meaning—an underlying subtext. We also often hope that this meaning will come through to the reader.

UCLA researchers have made a significant discovery showing that biological brains and artificial intelligence systems develop remarkably similar neural patterns during social interaction. This first-of-its-kind study reveals that when mice interact socially, specific brain cell types synchronize in "shared neural spaces," and AI agents develop analogous patterns when engaging in social behaviors.

A new study finds that accountants are using AI to streamline workflows and close their books faster. The takeaway: AI isn't replacing accountants, but enhancing their work when combined with human expertise.

Some video game players recently criticized the cover art on a new video game for being generated with artificial intelligence (AI). Yet the cover art for Little Droid, which also featured in the game's launch trailer on YouTube, was not concocted by AI. It was, the developers claim, carefully designed by a human artist.

A partnership between JPMorgan Chase and Miami-based firm Consulting IQ is set to reshape the landscape for small and midsize businesses (SMBs), providing them with access to high-level strategic consulting tools powered by artificial intelligence.

In 2025, it seems like just about everyone is talking about artificial intelligence and its myriad potential uses.

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.
