The question of how to ethically decommission an AI system may sound like the least of humanity’s current concerns, but a world-renowned AI expert says it’s a challenge we need to address now—before synthetic consciousness becomes reality.The question of how to ethically decommission an AI system may sound like the least of humanity’s current concerns, but a world-renowned AI expert says it’s a challenge we need to address now—before synthetic consciousness becomes reality.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
Scientists and engineers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a camera-based inspection system that can monitor complex 3D-printed structures layer by layer, using AI and machine learning (ML) to measure tiny variations and potentially identify problems before a part ever leaves the printer.Scientists and engineers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a camera-based inspection system that can monitor complex 3D-printed structures layer by layer, using AI and machine learning (ML) to measure tiny variations and potentially identify problems before a part ever leaves the printer.Engineering[#item_full_content]
Calls to rein in the development of ever more powerful AI models are fueling fears over the massive capital outlays in the sector—and the prospect that profits from the promised revolution might not be enough to cover them.Calls to rein in the development of ever more powerful AI models are fueling fears over the massive capital outlays in the sector—and the prospect that profits from the promised revolution might not be enough to cover them.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
The United Nations rights chief called Monday for countries and “frontier” artificial intelligence companies to act urgently to rein in a technology he warned posed “unprecedented risks.”The United Nations rights chief called Monday for countries and “frontier” artificial intelligence companies to act urgently to rein in a technology he warned posed “unprecedented risks.”Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
A new deep-learning architecture could deflect cyberattacks by combining several methods for analyzing network traffic, according to research published in the International Journal of Business Intelligence and Data Mining. The approach addresses a weakness in standard intrusion-detection systems, which struggle with the volume and complexity of modern network traffic.A new deep-learning architecture could deflect cyberattacks by combining several methods for analyzing network traffic, according to research published in the International Journal of Business Intelligence and Data Mining.

MIT researchers have developed a new technique that helps generative artificial intelligence models find solutions to high-stakes problems. In these settings, a plausible answer is not enough: The output often must also satisfy nonnegotiable safety, physical or task-specific requirements, known as hard constraints.MIT researchers have developed a new technique that helps generative artificial intelligence models find solutions to high-stakes problems.

As a child, you likely saw a few Disney movies depicting inanimate objects, such as clocks, cups and toys, as interactive companions to humans—an act of pure magic, seemingly. But scientists at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are now doing something similar: transforming stationary items into self-aware tools that perceive and respond to human motion to complete a task.As a child, you likely saw a few Disney movies depicting inanimate objects, such as clocks, cups and toys, as interactive companions to humans—an act of pure magic, seemingly.
