Science has increasingly used artificial intelligence (AI) as a kind of microscope—sorting data, analyzing images and revealing hidden patterns. Now a new shift is underway: AI that not only breaks down data but also helps scientists decide what to do next through simple, natural language requests.Science has increasingly used artificial intelligence (AI) as a kind of microscope—sorting data, analyzing images and revealing hidden patterns.

French AI startup Mistral announced Tuesday its biggest open-weight model, dubbed “Chonk,” claiming enhanced performance and security capabilities for clients seeking to keep their data private instead of relying on closed models from the likes of Anthropic and OpenAI.French AI startup Mistral announced Tuesday its biggest open-weight model, dubbed “Chonk,” claiming enhanced performance and security capabilities for clients seeking to keep their data private instead of relying on closed models from the likes of Anthropic and OpenAI.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

When new information is continually added and old information is removed, an AI system may fail to find the correct material even when that material exists. KAIST researchers have developed a vector database technology that preserves the search paths leading to the needed information as data changes. This allows AI to find up-to-date information more accurately and quickly.When new information is continually added and old information is removed, an AI system may fail to find the correct material even when that material exists.

Ask an AI chatbot for some medical advice and it might recommend you head to the hospital when all you really have is indigestion. One of the biggest issues with AI chatbots today is that they can still share false information, according to Northeastern experts.Ask an AI chatbot for some medical advice and it might recommend you head to the hospital when all you really have is indigestion.

Life often gets in the way of going to bed in sync with our circadian rhythm and getting enough sleep. Work, school and other social commitments can pull our schedules out of step, and scientists call this mismatch social jet lag. When people experience this sleep mismatch, they feel tired and off their game. This jet lag can often trigger social anxiety and worry about being judged negatively by others.Life often gets in the way of going to bed in sync with our circadian rhythm and getting enough sleep.

Locked in a cat-and-mouse struggle, biology professor Timothy Paustian devised novel ways to catch students turning in chatbot-generated assignments. But like many U.S. universities, his institution is shunning AI detection software.Locked in a cat-and-mouse struggle, biology professor Timothy Paustian devised novel ways to catch students turning in chatbot-generated assignments.
