As more people turn to large language models (LLMs) during personal crises, the companies behind them are engineering these AI-powered models to be more personal, empathetic and understanding when prompts indicate a user is in emotional distress.As more people turn to large language models (LLMs) during personal crises, the companies behind them are engineering these AI-powered models to be more personal, empathetic and understanding when prompts indicate a user is in emotional distress.[#item_full_content]

A few hundred years ago, determining whether a painting was created by a master like Rembrandt or a talented copycat depended only on the trained eye of an expert. Then, new tools like X-rays and infrared imaging allowed curators to see beneath the surface of a painting and analyze details invisible to the human eye.A few hundred years ago, determining whether a painting was created by a master like Rembrandt or a talented copycat depended only on the trained eye of an expert.

A research team led by professor Minhae Kwon of the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering has developed two core next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that enable AI systems to handle complex, long-horizon tasks more effectively while reducing computational costs and improving safety. The findings address key challenges that have hindered the commercialization of costly AI assistant services as well as the deployment of AI in safety-critical areas such as robotics and autonomous driving. The findings are published on the arXiv preprint server.A research team led by professor Minhae Kwon of the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering has developed two core next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that enable AI systems to handle complex, long-horizon tasks more effectively while reducing computational costs and improving safety.

Generative artificial intelligence models are rooted in ideas of mid-20th-century engineers who thought some amount of irrationality was essential for a machine that could think like a human, contends Benjamin Lindquist, an assistant professor in the MIT History Section, who holds an MIT Schwarzman College of Computing shared position with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and is a principal investigator in the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems.Generative artificial intelligence models are rooted in ideas of mid-20th-century engineers who thought some amount of irrationality was essential for a machine that could think like a human, contends Benjamin Lindquist, an assistant professor in the MIT History Section, who holds an MIT Schwarzman College of Computing shared position with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and is a principal investigator in the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems.[#item_full_content]

AI agents tend to do things when we give them specific commands, such as analyzing data and answering questions. But what would they do if left to their own devices?AI agents tend to do things when we give them specific commands, such as analyzing data and answering questions.

Minecraft is one of the world’s most popular video games, where players explore, gather resources, craft items and try to survive in a virtual universe constructed of 3D cubes that represent different materials.Minecraft is one of the world’s most popular video games, where players explore, gather resources, craft items and try to survive in a virtual universe constructed of 3D cubes that represent different materials.[#item_full_content]

Digital Care Hub has launched a series of new resources to help adult social care providers plan how they will communicate with key stakeholders in the event of a cyber incident. These include people receiving care, families, staff, partner organizations and relevant public bodies.Digital Care Hub has launched a series of new resources to help adult social care providers plan how they will communicate with key stakeholders in the event of a cyber incident.

Like a hack writer or a friend rehashing their glory days over and over, artificial intelligence tends to tell the same old story. For AI agents instructed to write fiction, that tale usually involves lighthouses and a keeper named Elias, according to new Cornell research.Like a hack writer or a friend rehashing their glory days over and over, artificial intelligence tends to tell the same old story.

Canada has made digital sovereignty a priority in areas such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence and telecommunications. But one important part of its digital infrastructure has received far less attention: the operating systems running government computers.Canada has made digital sovereignty a priority in areas such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence and telecommunications.

Large language models (LLMs), the artificial intelligence (AI) systems underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT and other conversational agents, are now widely used to source information, summarize texts and generate content for specific purposes. These models essentially generate their responses by predicting sequences of words based on the patterns they learned during previous training.Large language models (LLMs), the artificial intelligence (AI) systems underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT and other conversational agents, are now widely used to source information, summarize texts and generate content for specific purposes.
