Training artificial intelligence to enforce even seemingly straightforward rules—like balls and strikes in Major League Baseball (MLB)—is a messy, dynamic process that takes time and careful evaluation of the technology in the wild, according to new Cornell research.Training artificial intelligence to enforce even seemingly straightforward rules—like balls and strikes in Major League Baseball (MLB)—is a messy, dynamic process that takes time and careful evaluation of the technology in the wild, according to new Cornell research.Computer Sciences[#item_full_content]

As the era of AI agents—systems that can reason and act autonomously—begins, the power consumption of data centers is emerging as a critical challenge. A KAIST research team has, for the first time, analyzed the computational cost and energy consumption of AI agents, finding that they can consume up to 136.5 times more energy per query than conventional generative AI.As the era of AI agents—systems that can reason and act autonomously—begins, the power consumption of data centers is emerging as a critical challenge.

Earlier today, the ABC flagged a shift in its position on generative artificial intelligence (AI) use in its news production. Despite previous caution, a recent deal with U.S. tech company Anthropic has opened the door for ABC staff to bring Claude AI into their broadcast news work.Earlier today, the ABC flagged a shift in its position on generative artificial intelligence (AI) use in its news production.

Combinatorial optimization problems are often encountered in real-world applications, including logistics, scheduling and network design. These problems involve finding the best possible solution from a finite set of discrete options by maximizing or minimizing an objective function subject to specified constraints. In such problems, the number of feasible solutions increases exponentially with the problem size, making it nearly impossible to find optimal solutions.Combinatorial optimization problems are often encountered in real-world applications, including logistics, scheduling and network design.

The United Nations chief called Monday for a global governance system to shape artificial intelligence for the good of humanity, warning against allowing the technology itself to “vibe-code” our future.The United Nations chief called Monday for a global governance system to shape artificial intelligence for the good of humanity, warning against allowing the technology itself to “vibe-code” our future.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

AI tools used to generate, edit or contextualize social media posts can introduce hidden biases that spread through online networks and shape public opinion, according to new research from the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) at the University of Oxford and the Hasso Plattner Institute at the University of Potsdam.AI tools used to generate, edit or contextualize social media posts can introduce hidden biases that spread through online networks and shape public opinion, according to new research from the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) at the University of Oxford and the Hasso Plattner Institute at the University of Potsdam.Consumer & Gadgets[#item_full_content]

Google and Amazon this week reported sharp increases in greenhouse gas emissions, driven by the frantic construction of artificial intelligence infrastructure that is pushing the tech giants further from their carbon-neutrality pledges.Google and Amazon this week reported sharp increases in greenhouse gas emissions, driven by the frantic construction of artificial intelligence infrastructure that is pushing the tech giants further from their carbon-neutrality pledges.Business[#item_full_content]

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that evaluates the visual appeal of literary and artistic product designs by mimicking how people naturally direct their attention across an image, a step that could help designers create products that better match consumer preferences. The work was published in the International Journal of Engineering Systems Modelling and Simulation.Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that evaluates the visual appeal of literary and artistic product designs by mimicking how people naturally direct their attention across an image, a step that could help designers create products that better match consumer preferences.
