Videoconferencing facilitates communication between different locations while still allowing people to look each other in the eye. However, increasingly, we have to question whether the other person’s eyes are real. This is because deepfake technologies are now capable of falsifying voices and images in real time more realistically than ever.Videoconferencing facilitates communication between different locations while still allowing people to look each other in the eye.

Bridges are an important part of road systems. Monitoring them is essential for ensuring structural safety, as bridges develop cracks, concrete spalling and water leakage over time due to traffic loads, weather and environmental exposure.Bridges are an important part of road systems.

Remote mountains or deserts far from cities are notorious for being off the cellular grid. But in the near future, cellphones could work in those places. In addition, cars could get you out of traffic jams faster by connecting to sensors placed around the city that alert drivers to trouble on the road. That could be thanks, in part, to a new way of thinking about and writing code using an agentic artificial intelligence framework developed at Northeastern University.Remote mountains or deserts far from cities are notorious for being off the cellular grid.

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs), which process multiple types of sensory information, such as text, images and audio, at the same time, are rapidly expanding the range of applications for artificial intelligence (AI). However, in real-world environments, these models can misinterpret the physical characteristics of sensors, mistakenly identify objects or claim to hear sounds that are not actually present simply because a certain object appears in a video. These errors are known as hallucinations.Multimodal large language models (MLLMs), which process multiple types of sensory information, such as text, images and audio, at the same time, are rapidly expanding the range of applications for artificial intelligence (AI).
