Digital technologies can play a double-edged role in modern society; while they offer new forms of participation and access, they can also deepen existing inequalities. Older people are especially affected as services such as health care, government benefits and community support increasingly move online.Digital technologies can play a double-edged role in modern society; while they offer new forms of participation and access, they can also deepen existing inequalities.

Artificial intelligence company OpenAI said Tuesday that it would release its latest cybersecurity model to a limited number of partners, after rival Anthropic also restricted release of a new system that uncovered thousands of vulnerabilities.Artificial intelligence company OpenAI said Tuesday that it would release its latest cybersecurity model to a limited number of partners, after rival Anthropic also restricted release of a new system that uncovered thousands of vulnerabilities.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
Snake-like robots represent the future of rescue. Their slender bodies allow them to navigate narrow spaces, uneven terrain, and water surfaces, entering places that would be hazardous for humans. This could potentially save lives in earthquake-prone areas, like Japan.Snake-like robots represent the future of rescue.

When Tiffany Davis has a question about a symptom from the weight-loss injections she’s taking, she doesn’t call her doctor. She pulls out her phone and consults ChatGPT.When Tiffany Davis has a question about a symptom from the weight-loss injections she’s taking, she doesn’t call her doctor.

With the rapid spread of digital content, doctored videos pose growing risks across media, security, and legal domains. A new study published in The Journal of Engineering Research introduces an automated approach to detect interpolated frames—artificially inserted images used to smooth manipulated video sequences and make them appear authentic.With the rapid spread of digital content, doctored videos pose growing risks across media, security, and legal domains.

University of Washington researchers developed the first system that incorporates tiny cameras in off-the-shelf wireless earbuds to allow users to talk with an AI model about the scene in front of them. For instance, a user might turn to a Korean food package and say, “Hey Vue, translate this for me.” They’d then hear an AI voice say, “The visible text translates to ‘Cold Noodles’ in English.”University of Washington researchers developed the first system that incorporates tiny cameras in off-the-shelf wireless earbuds to allow users to talk with an AI model about the scene in front of them.

Perfect alignment between AI and human values is mathematically impossible, study sayson April 14, 2026 at 12:20 pm
Perfect AI alignment with human values and interests is mathematically impossible, according to a study, but behavioral diversity among AI agents offers the promise of some control. Published in PNAS Nexus, Hector Zenil and colleagues used Gödel’s incompleteness theorem and Turing’s undecidability result for the Halting Problem to show that any LLM complex enough to exhibit general intelligence or superintelligence will also be computationally irreducible and produce unpredictable behavior, making forced alignment impossible.Perfect AI alignment with human values and interests is mathematically impossible, according to a study, but behavioral diversity among AI agents offers the promise of some control.

What if ChatGPT answered with the name of a minister from a year ago when asked, “Who was the minister inaugurated last month?” This is a prime example of the limitations of AI that fails to properly reflect the latest information. A KAIST research team has developed a new evaluation technology that automatically reflects changing real-world information while catching “temporal errors” that may appear correct on the surface. This is expected to drastically improve AI reliability.What if ChatGPT answered with the name of a minister from a year ago when asked, “Who was the minister inaugurated last month?” This is a prime example of the limitations of AI that fails to properly reflect the latest information.
