Large language models (LLMs)—the advanced AI behind tools like ChatGPT—are increasingly integrated into daily life, assisting with tasks such as writing emails, answering questions, and even supporting health care decisions. But can these models collaborate with others in the same way humans do? Can they understand social situations, make compromises, or establish trust?Large language models (LLMs)—the advanced AI behind tools like ChatGPT—are increasingly integrated into daily life, assisting with tasks such as writing emails, answering questions, and even supporting health care decisions.

For decades, Hollywood directors, including Stanley Kubrick, James Cameron and Alex Garland, have cast artificial intelligence as a villain that can turn into a killing machine.For decades, Hollywood directors, including Stanley Kubrick, James Cameron and Alex Garland, have cast artificial intelligence as a villain that can turn into a killing machine.Business[#item_full_content]

As the head of the Natural Language Processing Laboratory at EPFL, Antoine Bosselut keeps a close eye on the development of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT. He looks back at their evolution over the past two years and suggests some avenues for the future.As the head of the Natural Language Processing Laboratory at EPFL, Antoine Bosselut keeps a close eye on the development of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT.

Laser-based processes for metals are considered to be particularly versatile in industry. Lasers can be used, for example, to precision-weld components together or produce more complex parts using 3D printing—quickly, precisely and automatically. This is why laser processes are used in numerous sectors, such as the automotive and aviation industries, where maximum precision is required, or in medical technology, for example for the production of customized titanium implants.Laser-based processes for metals are considered to be particularly versatile in industry.

Can large language models (LLMs) reason by analogy? Some outputs suggest that they can, but it has been argued that these results reflect mimicry of the results of analogical reasoning in the models’ training data.Can large language models (LLMs) reason by analogy?

An experimental study suggests that people are less likely to behave in a trusting and cooperative manner when interacting with AI than when interacting with other humans. Scientists use experimental games to probe how humans make social decisions requiring both rational and moral thinking.An experimental study suggests that people are less likely to behave in a trusting and cooperative manner when interacting with AI than when interacting with other humans.
