Asking ChatGPT for answers comes with a risk—it may offer you entirely made-up “facts” that sound legitimate, as a New York lawyer recently discovered. Despite having been trained on vast amounts of factual data, large language models, or LLMs, are prone to generating false information called hallucinations.Asking ChatGPT for answers comes with a risk—it may offer you entirely made-up “facts” that sound legitimate, as a New York lawyer recently discovered.

Recent advances in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) have opened exciting new avenues for teleoperation, the remote control of robots to complete tasks in a distant location. This could, for instance, allow users to visit museums from afar, complete maintenance or technical tasks in spaces that are difficult to access or attend events remotely in more interactive ways.Recent advances in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) have opened exciting new avenues for teleoperation, the remote control of robots to complete tasks in a distant location.

The recent explosion of artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT and Copilot have supercharged the assistance available to programmers. However, AI assistants may strip out comments embedded in code to convey copyright and attribution guidelines, leaving human coders none the wiser yet still on the hook legally for intellectual property infringement.The recent explosion of artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT and Copilot have supercharged the assistance available to programmers.

Algorithms underpin large and small decisions on a massive scale every day: who gets screened for diseases like diabetes, who receives a kidney transplant, how police resources are allocated, who sees ads for housing or employment, how recidivism rates are calculated, and so on. Under the right circumstances, algorithms—procedures used for solving a problem or performing a computation—can improve the efficiency and equity of human decision-making.Algorithms underpin large and small decisions on a massive scale every day: who gets screened for diseases like diabetes, who receives a kidney transplant, how police resources are allocated, who sees ads for housing or employment, how recidivism rates are calculated, and so on.

People solve new problems readily without any special training or practice by comparing them to familiar problems and extending the solution to the new problem. That process, known as analogical reasoning, has long been thought to be a uniquely human ability.People solve new problems readily without any special training or practice by comparing them to familiar problems and extending the solution to the new problem.

Model checking is one of the most successful computer science achievements in the last few decades. This is why Edmund M. Clarke, E. Allen Emerson, and Joseph Sifakis were honored with the 2007 A.M. Turing Award for their role in developing model checking into a highly effective verification technology.Model checking is one of the most successful computer science achievements in the last few decades.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute have shown that computer vision systems can more easily detect objects in motion—like a car driving down the street or a person walking in a crosswalk—than stationary objects.Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute have shown that computer vision systems can more easily detect objects in motion—like a car driving down the street or a person walking in a crosswalk—than stationary objects.[#item_full_content]

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new method to significantly improve the effectiveness of machine learning models searching for new molecular therapeutics when using just a fraction of the available data. By working with an algorithm that actively identifies gaps in datasets, researchers can, in some cases, more than double their accuracy.Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new method to significantly improve the effectiveness of machine learning models searching for new molecular therapeutics when using just a fraction of the available data.
