Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly large language models like GPT-4, has shown impressive performance on reasoning tasks. But does AI truly understand abstract concepts, or is it just mimicking patterns? A new study from the University of Amsterdam and the Santa Fe Institute reveals that while GPT models perform well on some analogy tasks, they fall short when the problems are altered, highlighting key weaknesses in AI's reasoning capabilities. The work is published in Transactions on Machine Learning Research.

A new automated web application scanner autonomously understands and executes tasks and workflows on web applications. The tool named YuraScanner harnesses the world knowledge stored in large language models (LLMs) to navigate through web applications in the same way a human user would. It is capable of working through tasks in a coherent fashion, performing the correct sequence of steps as required by, for example, an online shop.

The UK aims to be the first country in the world to create new offenses related to AI-generated sexual abuse. New laws will make it illegal to possess, create or distribute AI tools designed to generate child sexual abuse material (CSAM), punishable by up to five years in prison. The laws will also make it illegal for anyone to possess so-called "pedophile manuals" which teach people how to use AI to sexually abuse children.

Large language models (LLMs), such as the model underpinning the functioning of the conversational agent ChatGPT, are becoming increasingly widespread worldwide. As many people are now turning to LLM-based platforms to source information and write context-specific texts, understanding their limitations and vulnerabilities is becoming increasingly vital.

Artificial intelligence is putting instructors and employers in an awkward position when it comes to accepting written work, leaving them wondering: Who wrote this? A human or AI?

Humans are known to accumulate knowledge over time, which in turn allows them to continuously improve their abilities and skills. This capability, known as lifelong learning, has so far proved difficult to replicate in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics systems.

The UK government should resist allowing AI companies to scrape all copyrighted works unless the holder has actively "opted out," as it puts an unfair burden on up-and-coming creative talents who lack the skills and resources to meet legal requirements.

Someday, your drinking water could be completely free of toxic "forever chemicals." These chemicals, called PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), are found in common household items like makeup, nonstick cookware, dental floss, batteries, and food packaging. PFAS permeate the soil, water, food, and air, and they can remain in the environment for millennia. Once inside the human body, PFAS can persist for years, suppressing the immune system and increasing cancer risk.

A generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool that could help video game designers to craft gameplay iteratively is presented in a Nature paper. The AI model, developed by researchers at Microsoft, generated robust three-dimensional (3D) worlds that obeyed the mechanics of the video game they were designed for.

A method known as "model pruning" can be used to pinpoint and remove neurons that consistently contribute to biased responses, say researchers at the Stanford Law School and the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI.

Are we putting our faith in technology that we don't fully understand? A new study from the University of Surrey comes at a time when AI systems are making decisions impacting our daily lives—from banking and health care to crime detection. The study calls for an immediate shift in how AI models are designed and evaluated, emphasizing the need for transparency and trustworthiness in these powerful algorithms.

While early language models could only process text, contemporary large language models now perform highly diverse tasks on different types of data. For instance, LLMs can understand many languages, generate computer code, solve math problems, or answer questions about images and audio.

In a development for artificial intelligence, researchers have unveiled a synaptic device array that shows promise for enhancing artificial visual systems. This innovative array, measuring a compact 0.7 × 0.7 cm2, integrates the capabilities of sensing, memory, and processing to mimic the intricate functions of the human visual system.

Two Connecticut high school seniors, Meera Kannan and Gabrielle Bridgewater, have published their study findings, titled "Leveraging public AI tools to explore systems biology resources in mathematical modeling," in the journal npj Systems Biology and Applications.

Researchers from the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Institute (DATAI) of the University of Navarra (Spain) have published an innovative methodology that improves the fairness and reliability of artificial intelligence models used in critical decision-making. These decisions significantly impact people's lives or the operations of organizations, as occurs in areas such as health, education, justice, or human resources.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a futuristic fantasy—it's here, and it's thinking for us.
