Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a key factor in the advancement of many fields, but it is also a new frontier in the development of neurotechnologies. Beyond its growing popularity in fields such as automation, content generation or data analysis, its use in the study of the human brain and related interventions raises significant moral and ethical questions about the potential of AI tools and their relationship with fundamental rights and freedoms.Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a key factor in the advancement of many fields, but it is also a new frontier in the development of neurotechnologies.

Meta Platforms said Wednesday it’s rolling out an “incognito” mode for WhatsApp users to have private conversations with its AI chatbot, a move intended to ease privacy concerns about sensitive information that users share in chats.Meta Platforms said Wednesday it’s rolling out an “incognito” mode for WhatsApp users to have private conversations with its AI chatbot, a move intended to ease privacy concerns about sensitive information that users share in chats.Business[#item_full_content]
If you’ve ever turned to artificial intelligence to try to figure out how to handle a tricky situation with a friend or colleague, you’re far from alone. For many, AI has become a modern oracle—a source of guidance, emotional support, or clarity in moments of uncertainty—though critics worry that they could lead to emotional dependence on the technology.If you’ve ever turned to artificial intelligence to try to figure out how to handle a tricky situation with a friend or colleague, you’re far from alone.

It sounds like science fiction, but also strangely familiar: drones buzzing around, inspecting tomatoes in greenhouses, delivering your package or inspecting an industrial site. With all the talk about drone-swarms, development in drones seems to move fast. But their navigation still requires a lot of computing power and memory, making them heavy, expensive and energy-hungry.It sounds like science fiction, but also strangely familiar: drones buzzing around, inspecting tomatoes in greenhouses, delivering your package or inspecting an industrial site.

Ask an AI model the same political question in two different languages, and you may get two very different responses. A new study in Nature suggests one reason why: governments can indirectly influence large language models (LLMs) by shaping the online media environment, and thus the text those systems learn from.Ask an AI model the same political question in two different languages, and you may get two very different responses.

There was something a bit off about a speech at one of my recent colleague’s retirements. It was beautifully written, very generously worded and the pacing was impeccable. And yet, I hate to say it, it was utterly lifeless.There was something a bit off about a speech at one of my recent colleague’s retirements.

Artificial intelligence systems, such as large language models (LLMs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), can analyze large amounts of data and rapidly generate desired content or identify meaningful patterns. However, when running on existing hardware, such as smartphones, laptops and tablets, these systems typically consume a large amount of energy.Artificial intelligence systems, such as large language models (LLMs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), can analyze large amounts of data and rapidly generate desired content or identify meaningful patterns.

Whether on a smartphone, tablet, or PC, computer users like things to be convenient. Apps can be launched and configured with just a few clicks or taps on the screen, all with a clean, intuitive graphical interface. The AiiDAlab user interface has been developed to ensure that researchers enjoy a similar level of convenience when running complex computer simulations or data analyses.Whether on a smartphone, tablet, or PC, computer users like things to be convenient.
