Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new way to train artificial intelligence systems to solve complex problems more reliably, particularly those that require interpreting both text and images. In widely used tests to evaluate mathematical reasoning, AI models trained with this method outperformed others in solving math word problems containing visual elements like charts and diagrams.Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new way to train artificial intelligence systems to solve complex problems more reliably, particularly those that require interpreting both text and images.

Lithium-ion batteries serve as the core energy storage devices in various industries and everyday products, including smartphones, electric vehicles, and ESS (energy storage systems). However, conventional lithium-ion batteries use liquid electrolytes, posing a risk of fire or explosion when subjected to external impact or overheating.Lithium-ion batteries serve as the core energy storage devices in various industries and everyday products, including smartphones, electric vehicles, and ESS (energy storage systems).

In December, the artificial intelligence company Anthropic unveiled its newest tool, Interviewer, used in its initial implementation “to help understand people’s perspectives on AI,” according to a press release. As part of Interviewer’s launch, Anthropic publicly released 1,250 anonymized interviews conducted on the platform.In December, the artificial intelligence company Anthropic unveiled its newest tool, Interviewer, used in its initial implementation “to help understand people’s perspectives on AI,” according to a press release.

Imagine thousands of chatbots immersed in social media created specifically for them, a site where humans may watch but are not allowed to post. It exists. It’s called Moltbook, and it’s where AI agents go to discuss everything from their human task masters to constructing digital architecture to creating a private bot language to better communicate with each other without human interference.Imagine thousands of chatbots immersed in social media created specifically for them, a site where humans may watch but are not allowed to post.

Phishing websites remain a persistent cybersecurity threat, exploiting users by imitating trusted online services. New machine-learning tools could help organizations flag more phishing sites before they harm users and steal credentials. A Sultan Qaboos University study shows data-driven models substantially outperform traditional approaches.Phishing websites remain a persistent cybersecurity threat, exploiting users by imitating trusted online services.

A new study has demonstrated how networks of spiking nanolasers could emulate a key principle of brain function: to imagine things that we cannot directly perceive by sampling from internal models of the world. The study, led by scientists from the University of Bern in collaboration with Thales Research & Technology located in the Paris-Saclay campus area, has now been published in Nature Communications.A new study has demonstrated how networks of spiking nanolasers could emulate a key principle of brain function: to imagine things that we cannot directly perceive by sampling from internal models of the world.

Guidance based on artificial intelligence (AI) may be uniquely placed to foster biases in humans, leading to less effective decision making, say researchers, who found that people with a positive view of AI may be at higher risk of being misled by AI tools. The study, titled “Examining Human Reliance on Artificial Intelligence in Decision Making,” is published in Scientific Reports.Guidance based on artificial intelligence (AI) may be uniquely placed to foster biases in humans, leading to less effective decision making, say researchers, who found that people with a positive view of AI may be at higher risk of being misled by AI tools.

A firm that wants to use a large language model (LLM) to summarize sales reports or triage customer inquiries can choose between hundreds of unique LLMs with dozens of model variations, each with slightly different performance. To narrow down the choice, companies often rely on LLM ranking platforms, which gather user feedback on model interactions to rank the latest LLMs based on how they perform on certain tasks.A firm that wants to use a large language model (LLM) to summarize sales reports or triage customer inquiries can choose between hundreds of unique LLMs with dozens of model variations, each with slightly different performance.
