With the release of his encyclical letter Magnifica Humanitas on May 25, 2026, Pope Leo XIV has signaled that he wants the church to respond to artificial intelligence much as a predecessor, Pope Leo XIII, responded to upheavals during the Industrial Revolution over a century ago.With the release of his encyclical letter Magnifica Humanitas on May 25, 2026, Pope Leo XIV has signaled that he wants the church to respond to artificial intelligence much as a predecessor, Pope Leo XIII, responded to upheavals during the Industrial Revolution over a century ago.Business[#item_full_content]

A new multi-university academic consortium led by Brigham Young University has found AI models have significant biases and gaps when it comes to addressing faith and religion. The new research from The Consortium for Evaluation of Faith and Ethics in AI (CEFE-AI)—a collaboration among researchers at BYU, Baylor University, the University of Notre Dame and Yeshiva University—found a consistent, repeatable pattern: religious perspectives are being left out of AI responses. The findings are posted to the arXiv preprint server.A new multi-university academic consortium led by Brigham Young University has found AI models have significant biases and gaps when it comes to addressing faith and religion.

Over the past decade, the ability of artificial intelligence to speed up complex processes has made it a key tool in engineering research. Many people associate AI with cloud computing, but its growth requires expanding infrastructure, such as data centers.Over the past decade, the ability of artificial intelligence to speed up complex processes has made it a key tool in engineering research.

Global society makes billions of images and uploads hundreds of thousands of hours of video on the internet every day. The problem is, some of this content is misleading or downright wrong. And when it’s in visual form, it can be particularly convincing.Global society makes billions of images and uploads hundreds of thousands of hours of video on the internet every day.

New research published in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology suggests that so-called knowledge graphs, a form of AI-based data organization, could improve the reliability and maintenance of power communication systems that help keep the lights on and modern electricity grids running smoothly.New research published in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology suggests that so-called knowledge graphs, a form of AI-based data organization, could improve the reliability and maintenance of power communication systems that help keep the lights on and modern electricity grids running smoothly.Energy & Green Tech[#item_full_content]

An international study team, led by Flinders University in collaboration with Khalifa University UAE, built the machine-learning platform to act like a “smart materials discovery engine,” which is capable of dramatically reducing the time spent on complex computer or lab experiments to test and find new materials for future semiconductors.An international study team, led by Flinders University in collaboration with Khalifa University UAE, built the machine-learning platform to act like a “smart materials discovery engine,” which is capable of dramatically reducing the time spent on complex computer or lab experiments to test and find new materials for future semiconductors.Electronics & Semiconductors[#item_full_content]

There’s a delicate art to teaching robots, even when you’re preparing them for predictable environments like factories, where they’ll repeat the same tasks a little differently depending on the obstacles they face. Whether a human is suddenly in their way or there’s new clutter, the machine must closely mimic its operator’s actions by staying on a trajectory (or motion path).There’s a delicate art to teaching robots, even when you’re preparing them for predictable environments like factories, where they’ll repeat the same tasks a little differently depending on the obstacles they face.

Travelers who use AI-powered chatbots on hotel booking platforms often feel uneasy. That discomfort can cause them to disengage or delay booking decisions, according to new research from the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.Travelers who use AI-powered chatbots on hotel booking platforms often feel uneasy.

Photonic devices are hardware systems that can process information using light instead of electricity. These systems could potentially perform computations faster than electronic devices, while also consuming less energy.Photonic devices are hardware systems that can process information using light instead of electricity.

The trial pitting Elon Musk against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman made clear the two billionaires agreed on one thing: building artificial intelligence would require significant resources—and enormous amounts of money.The trial pitting Elon Musk against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman made clear the two billionaires agreed on one thing: building artificial intelligence would require significant resources—and enormous amounts of money.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
