Researchers at The University of Manchester, Shandong Jiaotong University and Harbin Engineering University have developed a machine learning framework that enables rapid predictions of how protected steel beams respond during a fire, offering engineers a faster way to assess fire safety performance in industrial structures.Researchers at The University of Manchester, Shandong Jiaotong University and Harbin Engineering University have developed a machine learning framework that enables rapid predictions of how protected steel beams respond during a fire, offering engineers a faster way to assess fire safety performance in industrial structures.Engineering[#item_full_content]

Solid-state drives (SSDs), which store data in computers and servers, are critical to data center reliability. When they fail, they can contribute to service disruptions, data loss and high maintenance costs, making early failure prediction important.Solid-state drives (SSDs), which store data in computers and servers, are critical to data center reliability.

The potential existential threat of artificial intelligence has leapt into the headlines after a departing safety researcher at AI company Anthropic posted on social media that he believed there was more than a 1-in-10 chance AI could kill everyone.The potential existential threat of artificial intelligence has leapt into the headlines after a departing safety researcher at AI company Anthropic posted on social media that he believed there was more than a 1-in-10 chance AI could kill everyone.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

Open source software underpins much of the modern digital world, from mobile phones and automobiles to cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Now, the rapid adoption of AI is creating new opportunities to improve that software while placing growing pressure on the people responsible for maintaining and securing it, according to a new TechBrief from the Association for Computing Machinery’s Technology Policy Council (TPC).Open source software underpins much of the modern digital world, from mobile phones and automobiles to cloud computing and artificial intelligence.

AI is advancing rapidly. One of the major shifts in the field is that, instead of single chatbots performing individual tasks, teams of autonomous agents work together by communicating with each other, sharing tools and accessing shared knowledge libraries.AI is advancing rapidly.

Large language models (LLMs), the artificial intelligence (AI) systems supporting the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and similar conversational platforms, are often expected to answer queries, generate texts for specific purposes and make decisions without the supervision of human experts. Yet past studies suggest that these models can sometimes mislead users, producing unreliable answers that express high confidence in false or inaccurate statements.Large language models (LLMs), the artificial intelligence (AI) systems supporting the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and similar conversational platforms, are often expected to answer queries, generate texts for specific purposes and make decisions without the supervision of human experts.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg pushed back Tuesday against growing calls to pause or slow AI development, arguing that market incentives and legal liability are the best safeguards against the technology’s risks.Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg pushed back Tuesday against growing calls to pause or slow AI development, arguing that market incentives and legal liability are the best safeguards against the technology’s risks.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

Fears that advanced artificial intelligence could wipe out humanity have dominated global headlines, but in Japan, the technology is being used for a sweeter purpose—developing never-before-seen convenience store desserts.Fears that advanced artificial intelligence could wipe out humanity have dominated global headlines, but in Japan, the technology is being used for a sweeter purpose—developing never-before-seen convenience store desserts.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
