When designers use inaccurate depictions of the human body, the use of artificial intelligence in some applications might not be as safe for those who don’t fit that body type, according to a new study posted to the arXiv preprint server.When designers use inaccurate depictions of the human body, the use of artificial intelligence in some applications might not be as safe for those who don’t fit that body type, according to a new study posted to the arXiv preprint server.[#item_full_content]

Updating passwords for all users of a company or institution’s internal computer systems is stressful and disruptive to both users and IT professionals. Many studies have looked at user struggles and password best practices. But very little research has been done to determine how a password update campaign can be conducted most efficiently and with minimal IT costs. Until now.Updating passwords for all users of a company or institution’s internal computer systems is stressful and disruptive to both users and IT professionals.

Photo, audio and video technologies have advanced significantly in recent years, making it easier to create convincing fake multimedia content, like politicians singing popular songs or saying silly things to get a laugh or a click. With a few easily accessible applications and some practice, the average person can alter the face and voice of just about anyone.Photo, audio and video technologies have advanced significantly in recent years, making it easier to create convincing fake multimedia content, like politicians singing popular songs or saying silly things to get a laugh or a click.

Intelligent Transportation systems (ITS) have shown great potential in smart cities in recent years. Using information processing and communication technology, ITS significantly improves the quality of urban traffic operation and service. Autonomous vehicles (AVs), a key component of ITS, are able to sense their surroundings and operate without the need for human intervention.Intelligent Transportation systems (ITS) have shown great potential in smart cities in recent years.

Traditional fingerprint identification methods can struggle with accurately identifying feature points in smaller regions. This is usually where a subset of fingerprints that are of limited size might typically be found in a restricted regions of a larger fingerprint image. Ultimately this usually leads to lower recognition accuracy and weaker evidence gleaned from a crime scene investigation, for instance.Traditional fingerprint identification methods can struggle with accurately identifying feature points in smaller regions.

Princeton researchers have created an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to predict the behavior of crystalline materials, a key step in advancing technologies such as batteries and semiconductors. Although computer simulations are commonly used in crystal design, the new method relies on a large language model, similar to those that power text generators like ChatGPT.Princeton researchers have created an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to predict the behavior of crystalline materials, a key step in advancing technologies such as batteries and semiconductors.

American nuclear power plants generate more than 20% of the electricity, and half of the carbon-free electricity, in the United States. The nation’s pressing demand for even more electricity—specifically carbon-free electricity that does not contribute to climate change—is spurring interest in advanced nuclear technologies. It is also leading many to ask if the nuclear power industry, sometimes labeled more expensive to maintain and operate than other clean energy industries, can modernize itself and present a more compelling bottom line.American nuclear power plants generate more than 20% of the electricity, and half of the carbon-free electricity, in the United States.
