Artificial intelligence systems are starting to do more than answer questions. New AI “agents” can remember information from previous interactions, plan a series of steps and use digital tools to complete tasks.Artificial intelligence systems are starting to do more than answer questions.

Large language models (LLMs), the artificial intelligence systems underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and other similar conversational agents, are now widely used worldwide. In addition to processing, interpreting and generating texts, some of these models can solve basic logical problems and answer some user questions with striking accuracy.Large language models (LLMs), the artificial intelligence systems underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and other similar conversational agents, are now widely used worldwide.

Nvidia chief Jensen Huang urged G20 ministers on Wednesday to build more data centers to support the artificial intelligence revolution and warned that leaders who talk up the technology’s dangers risk leaving their countries behind.Nvidia chief Jensen Huang urged G20 ministers on Wednesday to build more data centers to support the artificial intelligence revolution and warned that leaders who talk up the technology’s dangers risk leaving their countries behind.Electronics & Semiconductors[#item_full_content]

Researchers from Skoltech and Sberbank’s Center for Practical Artificial Intelligence have proposed a new method, TOHA, for detecting hallucinations in large language models operating in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. The approach analyzes the topological structure of a model’s attention maps and makes it possible to identify responses that are not supported by the provided context. The method does not require training additional models and uses only a small amount of annotated data for configuration.Researchers from Skoltech and Sberbank’s Center for Practical Artificial Intelligence have proposed a new method, TOHA, for detecting hallucinations in large language models operating in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems.

Self-driving cars are often controlled by deep learning models that sometimes fail in unexpected situations. For instance, the car might inexplicably brake and block the path of an oncoming emergency vehicle. A human driver or passenger may need to react rapidly to prevent a collision.Self-driving cars are often controlled by deep learning models that sometimes fail in unexpected situations.

Claims of “smart” toys go back decades. See Chatty Cathy and Furby. But generative artificial intelligence is increasing the capabilities of interactive toys. The company Curio, for instance, markets itself as a “magical workshop where toys come to life.” Its plush toys, like Gabbo and one modeled on the Italian brainrot character Ballerina Cappuccina, have onboard AI models that let them talk to kids, remember their conversations and personalize responses. But we know little about how such toys affect kids and even how kids play with them.Claims of “smart” toys go back decades. See Chatty Cathy and Furby.

Artificial intelligence (AI) may have more to offer science than accurate predictions. The patterns it learns could point researchers toward new, testable explanations of how complex systems function.Artificial intelligence (AI) may have more to offer science than accurate predictions.
