EPFL researchers have developed new software—now spun-off into a start-up—that eliminates the need for data to be sent to third-party cloud services when AI is used to complete a task. This could challenge the business model of Big Tech.EPFL researchers have developed new software—now spun-off into a start-up—that eliminates the need for data to be sent to third-party cloud services when AI is used to complete a task.

Robots small enough to travel autonomously through the human body to repair damaged sites may seem the stuff of science fiction dreams. But this vision of surgery on a microscale is a step closer to reality, with news that researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan have built a robot smaller than a millimeter that has an onboard computer and sensors.Robots small enough to travel autonomously through the human body to repair damaged sites may seem the stuff of science fiction dreams.

As language models (LMs) improve at tasks like image generation, trivia questions, and simple math, you might think that human-like reasoning is around the corner. In reality, they still trail us by a wide margin on complex tasks. Try playing Sudoku with one, for instance, where you fill in numbers one through nine in such a way that each appears only once across the columns, rows, and sections of a nine-by-nine grid. Your AI opponent will either fail to fill in boxes on its own or do so inefficiently, although it can verify if you’ve filled yours out correctly.As language models (LMs) improve at tasks like image generation, trivia questions, and simple math, you might think that human-like reasoning is around the corner.

Large language models (LLMs), artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process and generate texts in various languages, are now widely used worldwide to create written content, source information and even to code websites or applications. While these models have improved significantly over the past couple of years, their answers can sometimes contain factual inaccuracies or logical inconsistencies.Large language models (LLMs), artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process and generate texts in various languages, are now widely used worldwide to create written content, source information and even to code websites or applications.
