Two years ago, researchers at MIT proposed a provocative idea: As AI models become more powerful, they begin to see the world in the same way. But not everyone was convinced, and now EPFL scientists have shown that the picture is more nuanced.Two years ago, researchers at MIT proposed a provocative idea: As AI models become more powerful, they begin to see the world in the same way.

Artificial intelligence (AI)-generated images have become increasingly more sophisticated than early ones that showed humans with more than five fingers on a hand, making it even harder to determine whether photos are authentic. Now, a team of computer scientists in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis has developed a model that can detect fake images by learning which are real.Artificial intelligence (AI)-generated images have become increasingly more sophisticated than early ones that showed humans with more than five fingers on a hand, making it even harder to determine whether photos are authentic.

Giving AI a classic psychological test reveals an inherent weakness in LLM decision-making abilities. Suketu Patel and colleagues explored how transformer-based machine attention differs from human attention by testing AI models on the “Stroop task,” in which words for colors are printed in colored ink, and participants are asked to name the ink color of each word while ignoring its meaning.Giving AI a classic psychological test reveals an inherent weakness in LLM decision-making abilities.

Large language models (LLMs), which are the artificial intelligence (AI) systems behind modern chatbots, translation tools, and virtual assistants, have become revolutionary tools worldwide. Companies, governments, schools, and developers now rely on them to serve users across dozens of languages. Unfortunately, as these systems grow more capable and incorporate support for more and more languages, they also become more computationally demanding. Generating responses from large multilingual models not only costs more but also takes significantly more time.Large language models (LLMs), which are the artificial intelligence (AI) systems behind modern chatbots, translation tools, and virtual assistants, have become revolutionary tools worldwide.

Some people have a gift for creating beautiful works of art. Others appreciate art but do not have the talent to create it. Researchers at Cornell Tech and the Cornell Bowers College of Computing and Information Science have created an artificial intelligence framework, ShadowDraw, that can create “shadow art”—partial line drawings that are completed by the shadow cast from an object—by simply scanning the object.Some people have a gift for creating beautiful works of art.

To accelerate and refine decision-making in a fast-paced, global marketplace, enterprises may deploy generative artificial intelligence models to help summarize and interpret the charts that often fill market summaries and financial reports.To accelerate and refine decision-making in a fast-paced, global marketplace, enterprises may deploy generative artificial intelligence models to help summarize and interpret the charts that often fill market summaries and financial reports.[#item_full_content]

A Japan–U.S. collaborative research team has demonstrated the world’s first integrated spintronic probabilistic bit, or p-bit, fabricated on a silicon chip using semiconductor manufacturing processes. The team, consisting of researchers from Tohoku University and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, experimentally verified the operation of the p-bit, a key building block for probabilistic, or p-, computers. The achievement provides a pathway toward large-scale spintronic p-computers for applications such as AI and machine learning.A Japan–U.S. collaborative research team has demonstrated the world’s first integrated spintronic probabilistic bit, or p-bit, fabricated on a silicon chip using semiconductor manufacturing processes.

Quantum computers are coming. Or, at least, that’s what current predictions say. These machines harness the power of quantum mechanics, the set of rules governing how physics operates at atomic and sub-atomic scales.Quantum computers are coming.
