In today’s hospitals and clinics, a dermatologist may use an artificial intelligence model for classifying skin lesions to assess if the lesion is at risk of developing into a cancer or if it is benign. But if the model is biased toward certain skin tones, it could fail to identify a high-risk patient.In today’s hospitals and clinics, a dermatologist may use an artificial intelligence model for classifying skin lesions to assess if the lesion is at risk of developing into a cancer or if it is benign.

Evolutionary biology holds clues for the future of AI, argue researchers from the HUN-REN Centre for Ecological Research, Eötvös Loránd University, and the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts. In a new Perspective published April 20 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team warn that evolvable AI (eAI) systems that can undergo Darwinian evolution may soon emerge, and they will generate special risks that can be understood, and mitigated, based on insights from evolutionary biology.Evolutionary biology holds clues for the future of AI, argue researchers from the HUN-REN Centre for Ecological Research, Eötvös Loránd University, and the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts.

The effort to “align” AI with human values is falling dangerously short in robotic systems, according to researchers from Penn Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and the University of Oxford. In a new paper appearing in Science Robotics, the researchers highlight the need to develop more thorough frameworks for ensuring that AI-enabled robots embody a core principle famously articulated by science fiction author Isaac Asimov: “A robot may not injure a human being.”The effort to “align” AI with human values is falling dangerously short in robotic systems, according to researchers from Penn Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and the University of Oxford.

Representing the pathway of participants in a study is a key element in clinical and epidemiological research. Flow diagrams are the standard tool to do so, as they allow the different stages of the process to be clearly visualized, from initial selection to final analysis, following international guidelines such as CONSORT or STROBE. However, their creation is often laborious. It usually involves manually entering data or programming complex structures, which makes reproducibility more difficult and may increase the risk of errors.Representing the pathway of participants in a study is a key element in clinical and epidemiological research.

Major AI platforms, including OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as social apps like Replika and Character.ai, are increasingly designing chatbots to be warm, friendly, and empathetic. However, new research from the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford finds that chatbots trained to sound warmer and more empathetic are significantly more likely to make factual errors and agree with false beliefs.Major AI platforms, including OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as social apps like Replika and Character.ai, are increasingly designing chatbots to be warm, friendly, and empathetic.

A new method developed by MIT researchers can accelerate a privacy-preserving artificial intelligence training method by about 81%. This advance could enable a wider array of resource-constrained edge devices, like sensors and smartwatches, to deploy more accurate AI models while keeping user data secure.A new method developed by MIT researchers can accelerate a privacy-preserving artificial intelligence training method by about 81%.

Most contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) systems learn to complete tasks via machine learning and deep learning. Machine learning is a computational approach that allows models to uncover patterns in data that are useful for making predictions. Deep learning, on the other hand, is a subset of machine learning that entails the use of multi-layered neural networks, which can autonomously extract features and learn complex patterns from unstructured data, sometimes with little or no human supervision.Most contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) systems learn to complete tasks via machine learning and deep learning.
