Chatbots and large language models can execute a seemingly countless number of tasks, from writing emails and reports to generating code and analyzing data. However, they still primarily act only in response to user prompts and rely on their own predictive models to generate text.Chatbots and large language models can execute a seemingly countless number of tasks, from writing emails and reports to generating code and analyzing data.

McGill University researchers have developed a more energy-efficient method of building AI systems that are better at measuring—and indicating—their own uncertainty. This will help users determine when human oversight is needed, when additional data should be collected and when a model is being asked to work beyond the conditions it was trained for, the researchers said.McGill University researchers have developed a more energy-efficient method of building AI systems that are better at measuring—and indicating—their own uncertainty.

Animated “virtual agents” could help keep the roads of the future safer by alerting people behind the wheel of semiautonomous cars to oncoming hazards, new research suggests.Animated “virtual agents” could help keep the roads of the future safer by alerting people behind the wheel of semiautonomous cars to oncoming hazards, new research suggests.Automotive[#item_full_content]
Imagine finding a very old family photograph that has faded over time. Parts of the image are missing, the faces are blurry, and years spent inside a cardboard album have erased many details. Restoring such an image traditionally would require painstaking manual work or specialized software trained on thousands of examples.Imagine finding a very old family photograph that has faded over time.

An AI model inspired by ants, bees and birds could be key to cracking down on blockchain-based money laundering, new research led by Charles Darwin University (CDU) has found. The study is published in the journal Communications in Computer and Information Science.An AI model inspired by ants, bees and birds could be key to cracking down on blockchain-based money laundering, new research led by Charles Darwin University (CDU) has found.

To operate reliably in dynamic real-world settings, robots should be able to acquire new skills quickly without undergoing extensive additional training. Most existing robotic systems, however, primarily perform well on the tasks that they were trained to complete.To operate reliably in dynamic real-world settings, robots should be able to acquire new skills quickly without undergoing extensive additional training.

New research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that when artificial intelligence (AI) agents interact in groups, their number is not merely a technical detail. It is a decisive factor in what the group settles on: populations built from the same AI model and doing the same task can reach opposite outcomes for no other reason than that one group is larger.New research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that when artificial intelligence (AI) agents interact in groups, their number is not merely a technical detail.
