Both living creatures and AI-driven machines need to act quickly and adaptively in response to situations. In psychology and neuroscience, behavior can be categorized into two types—habitual (fast and simple but inflexible), and goal-directed (flexible but complex and slower).Both living creatures and AI-driven machines need to act quickly and adaptively in response to situations.

Large language models like those that power ChatGPT have shown impressive performance on tasks like drafting legal briefs, analyzing the sentiment of customer reviews, or translating documents into different languages.Large language models like those that power ChatGPT have shown impressive performance on tasks like drafting legal briefs, analyzing the sentiment of customer reviews, or translating documents into different languages.[#item_full_content]

Consensus problems, where a group of agents, such as unmanned vehicles, machines, or robots, need to agree on certain variables only through local communication within themselves, have attracted considerable attention as a fundamental issue in cooperative control of multi-agent systems. Simply put, a multi-agent system comprises multiple decision-making agents that interact among themselves in a common environment to achieve common or conflicting goals depending on the situation.Consensus problems, where a group of agents, such as unmanned vehicles, machines, or robots, need to agree on certain variables only through local communication within themselves, have attracted considerable attention as a fundamental issue in cooperative control of multi-agent systems.

Last year, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) labor union, which represents film and TV writers, went on strike for nearly five months, in part to regulate AI’s role in scriptwriting. “Alexa will not replace us,” read one picket sign.Last year, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) labor union, which represents film and TV writers, went on strike for nearly five months, in part to regulate AI’s role in scriptwriting. “Alexa will not replace us,” read one picket sign.[#item_full_content]

Mark Hamilton, an MIT Ph.D. student in electrical engineering and computer science and affiliate of MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), wants to use machines to understand how animals communicate. To do that, he set out first to create a system that can learn human language “from scratch.”Mark Hamilton, an MIT Ph.D. student in electrical engineering and computer science and affiliate of MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), wants to use machines to understand how animals communicate.

An X-ray scanner, some small metal balls, and a newly developed algorithm. That is all you need to make a 3D model that enables you to look inside art objects without dismantling them. Thanks to the research of Francien Bossema (Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica and Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science), museums can now use existing X-ray equipment as CT scanners, without having to buy such a costly and complicated device.An X-ray scanner, some small metal balls, and a newly developed algorithm.

A framework based on advanced AI techniques can solve complex, computationally intensive problems faster and in a more scalable way than state-of-the-art methods, according to a study led by engineers at the University of California San Diego.A framework based on advanced AI techniques can solve complex, computationally intensive problems faster and in a more scalable way than state-of-the-art methods, according to a study led by engineers at the University of California San Diego.[#item_full_content]

How can virtual reality (VR) be experienced haptically, i.e., through the sense of touch? This is one of the fundamental questions that modern VR research is investigating.How can virtual reality (VR) be experienced haptically, i.e., through the sense of touch?

The technology behind Meta’s artificial intelligence model, which can translate 200 different languages, is described in a paper published in Nature. The model expands the number of languages that can be translated via machine translation.The technology behind Meta’s artificial intelligence model, which can translate 200 different languages, is described in a paper published in Nature.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology used in image recognition possesses a structure mimicking human vision and brain neurons. There are three known methods to reduce the amount of data required for calculating and computing the visual and neuronal components. Until now, the application ratio of these methods was determined through trial and error.Artificial intelligence (AI) technology used in image recognition possesses a structure mimicking human vision and brain neurons.
