If artificial intelligence (AI) systems shape decisions that affect people’s lives, they should do so fairly. This should be a given considering that potential applications for AI include automated hiring systems, as well as tools used in education, finance and criminal justice.If artificial intelligence (AI) systems shape decisions that affect people’s lives, they should do so fairly.

A billboard tries to sell you something. So does a used car salesman. But no matter how smooth the pitch, you’re quite aware of the profit motive, and you can walk away at any time.A billboard tries to sell you something. So does a used car salesman.

Spend enough time on the internet, and you’ll likely encounter some pretty appalling content. Hate speech tends to flourish on social media and in online communities, particularly those with little to no moderation. Even on sites with strict community standards, the volume of content makes effective moderation nearly impossible.Spend enough time on the internet, and you’ll likely encounter some pretty appalling content.

Animals move with a level of precision and adaptability that robots struggle to match. In Carnegie Mellon University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, researchers are developing a new AI-driven approach to uncover how brains and bodies work together. By turning complex biological systems into models that can be tested and refined, the team seeks to understand and replicate animal performance in robotic systems.Animals move with a level of precision and adaptability that robots struggle to match.

Fast charging shortens the life of vehicle batteries, but is necessary on longer journeys with electric vehicles. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have now developed a new AI method that adapts fast charging to the health of the battery. Their study shows that battery life can be increased by almost 23% without extending the charging time. All that is required is an update of the vehicle’s software.Fast charging shortens the life of vehicle batteries, but is necessary on longer journeys with electric vehicles.

As AI chatbots become increasingly part of daily life for American teens, a new national study documents widespread exposure to harm. While many use them for school, entertainment and support, researchers warn they may also expose youth to harmful content, encourage risky behavior and blur the line between human and AI relationships. The youngest teens in the study, especially 13-year-olds, appeared among the most exposed.As AI chatbots become increasingly part of daily life for American teens, a new national study documents widespread exposure to harm.

New artificial intelligence (AI) technologies currently in development could lead to an imminent future where machines no longer just process and analyze information, but can feel. In his new book “Perceptive Machines,” futurologist and researcher Professor Rocky Scopelliti outlines a near future in which machines are capable of sensing, interpreting and responding to the world in ways once considered unique to humans and other biological species: including sight, sound, touch, smell and taste.New artificial intelligence (AI) technologies currently in development could lead to an imminent future where machines no longer just process and analyze information, but can feel.

Humanoid robots, robotic systems with a body structure that resembles that of humans, could soon assist humans with various tasks in household environments, manufacturing sites, hospitals and other settings. While some humanoid robots already perform well on basic manual tasks, they often struggle with more complex tasks or with missions that require them to reliably manipulate objects while moving in the space around them.Humanoid robots, robotic systems with a body structure that resembles that of humans, could soon assist humans with various tasks in household environments, manufacturing sites, hospitals and other settings.
