What if your smartwatch could tell when you were struggling emotionally and offer support before you even thought to ask? That’s the idea behind a new AI-powered system developed by researchers at the University of Ottawa, one that could change how people access mental health care outside a clinical setting.What if your smartwatch could tell when you were struggling emotionally and offer support before you even thought to ask?

Recent swings in tech stocks are reviving fears of an AI bubble—and some experts warn that if it pops, the fallout could be bigger than anything Wall Street has ever seen.Recent swings in tech stocks are reviving fears of an AI bubble—and some experts warn that if it pops, the fallout could be bigger than anything Wall Street has ever seen.Business[#item_full_content]
ChatGPT maker OpenAI said Friday it is restricting the release of its new artificial intelligence model at the request of President Donald Trump’s administration, the latest in an unprecedented government vetting of AI products that could pose cybersecurity risks.ChatGPT maker OpenAI said Friday it is restricting the release of its new artificial intelligence model at the request of President Donald Trump’s administration, the latest in an unprecedented government vetting of AI products that could pose cybersecurity risks.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
The number of U.S. data centers is growing, largely to power artificial intelligence programs. That has led to concern about the environmental consequences of data centers—and their impact on the energy grid itself. What will happen if scores of new data centers come online?The number of U.S. data centers is growing, largely to power artificial intelligence programs.

When a standard large language model (LLM) is confronted with a problem, it tries to solve it by matching it to similar information it has seen before, and then give an answer based on those past patterns. But how it decides which information to use and what value it gives to different pieces of information can be somewhat inscrutable from the outside. An EPFL team has created a new large language model that is structured similarly to a human brain, allowing users more control and moving away from “black box” AI.When a standard large language model (LLM) is confronted with a problem, it tries to solve it by matching it to similar information it has seen before, and then give an answer based on those past patterns.

Stanford researcher Ellen Kuhl estimates that there are some 1043 potential burger recipes in the world. And with BurgerAI, a new tool developed in her lab, artificial intelligence can now design the best one for you based on your age, taste, nutritional needs and even your sustainability goal.Stanford researcher Ellen Kuhl estimates that there are some 1043 potential burger recipes in the world.

Students in the University of Washington’s Prosocial Computing Group noticed a trend on social media: People were using generative artificial intelligence to make short science videos. The trouble was that these people weren’t scientists, which, given AI’s proclivity to be convincingly wrong, could accelerate the spread of misinformation. So the lab wondered how to enable scientists and other researchers to better adapt to platforms like TikTok.Students in the University of Washington’s Prosocial Computing Group noticed a trend on social media: People were using generative artificial intelligence to make short science videos.
