Remote mountains or deserts far from cities are notorious for being off the cellular grid. But in the near future, cellphones could work in those places. In addition, cars could get you out of traffic jams faster by connecting to sensors placed around the city that alert drivers to trouble on the road. That could be thanks, in part, to a new way of thinking about and writing code using an agentic artificial intelligence framework developed at Northeastern University.Remote mountains or deserts far from cities are notorious for being off the cellular grid.

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs), which process multiple types of sensory information, such as text, images and audio, at the same time, are rapidly expanding the range of applications for artificial intelligence (AI). However, in real-world environments, these models can misinterpret the physical characteristics of sensors, mistakenly identify objects or claim to hear sounds that are not actually present simply because a certain object appears in a video. These errors are known as hallucinations.Multimodal large language models (MLLMs), which process multiple types of sensory information, such as text, images and audio, at the same time, are rapidly expanding the range of applications for artificial intelligence (AI).

The U.S. Department of Energy is harnessing the artificial intelligence boom in its bid to convert another Cold War-era uranium enrichment site, tapping private equity to fund a $100 billion data center complex that will include its own new natural gas and battery storage power plant in Kentucky.The U.S. Department of Energy is harnessing the artificial intelligence boom in its bid to convert another Cold War-era uranium enrichment site, tapping private equity to fund a $100 billion data center complex that will include its own new natural gas and battery storage power plant in Kentucky.Energy & Green Tech[#item_full_content]
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming modern finance, powering applications ranging from stock market forecasting to investment advice. But does making more accurate predictions necessarily lead to better investment decisions? According to two recent studies by researchers from Pusan National University and international collaborators, the answer may be no.Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming modern finance, powering applications ranging from stock market forecasting to investment advice.

If you watched the 2026 FIFA World Cup, you probably saw the now-familiar ritual: a goal, a celebration, then a referee touching an earpiece while fans and players wait for the verdict from the video assistant referee, or VAR.If you watched the 2026 FIFA World Cup, you probably saw the now-familiar ritual: a goal, a celebration, then a referee touching an earpiece while fans and players wait for the verdict from the video assistant referee, or VAR.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
AI companies and evangelists frequently use terms such as copilot, coworker, cocreator and co-scientist to imply these rapidly developing systems can happily coexist with us humans. Their inference is clear: People should always be in the loop—the AI is never in charge.AI companies and evangelists frequently use terms such as copilot, coworker, cocreator and co-scientist to imply these rapidly developing systems can happily coexist with us humans.
