Experts have unveiled a new proposal for the governance of artificial intelligence as they argue the debate has moved beyond simply whether to slow the pace of AI development.Experts have unveiled a new proposal for the governance of artificial intelligence as they argue the debate has moved beyond simply whether to slow the pace of AI development.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
Some of the most important discoveries in materials science and structural biology come down to a simple question: Where, exactly, are the atoms? The arrangement of atoms determines nearly everything about how a material behaves in the real world—how strong it is, how it conducts electricity, how a battery stores energy, or how a drug binds to a cell.Some of the most important discoveries in materials science and structural biology come down to a simple question: Where, exactly, are the atoms?

If you have ever used an artificial intelligence text-to-image generator like ChatGPT or Google Gemini, you may have encountered a common but maddening problem: The image looks nearly perfect, but when you ask the AI to fix one small detail, it messes up something unrelated.If you have ever used an artificial intelligence text-to-image generator like ChatGPT or Google Gemini, you may have encountered a common but maddening problem: The image looks nearly perfect, but when you ask the AI to fix one small detail, it messes up something unrelated.Computer Sciences[#item_full_content]

The mining industry is shifting toward battery-powered equipment to improve efficiency, but lithium-ion batteries pose risks due to their high energy density. They can fail, overheat and, in some cases, catch fire, releasing toxic emissions.The mining industry is shifting toward battery-powered equipment to improve efficiency, but lithium-ion batteries pose risks due to their high energy density.

Driverless trucks with artificial intelligence on board could dramatically change the landscape of freight shipping. A few companies have begun testing early models on some limited routes in Texas and California. Simulations of automated fleets show the potential benefits of the technology: The vehicles could improve safety, enhance fuel economy and lessen transit times.Driverless trucks with artificial intelligence on board could dramatically change the landscape of freight shipping.

Imagine a father pretending to be insane because he wants to stay with his son and his family and not go to war. When his son’s life is in danger, he is forced to disclose the truth and is obliged to leave his son to go to war.Imagine a father pretending to be insane because he wants to stay with his son and his family and not go to war.

Most people are by now quite familiar with ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and other chatbots: Every day, people ask millions of questions and receive neatly formulated answers in return. Yet these language models still tend to run wild with so-called “hallucinations”: unreliable, dubious answers that are presented with great certainty as the truth.Most people are by now quite familiar with ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and other chatbots: Every day, people ask millions of questions and receive neatly formulated answers in return.

Reading a conversation and deciding whether a chatbot wrote it can be surprisingly difficult. In a study involving more than 72,000 judgments of human and AI responses, participants frequently mistook machine-generated captions, word associations and conversational replies for human work. However, in a smaller experiment, direct questioning proved more successful at exposing a chatbot, though even that comes with caveats.Reading a conversation and deciding whether a chatbot wrote it can be surprisingly difficult.
