Stark warnings from artificial intelligence researchers that advanced forms of the technology could wipe out humanity have raised questions over whether governments are moving fast enough to regulate it.Stark warnings from artificial intelligence researchers that advanced forms of the technology could wipe out humanity have raised questions over whether governments are moving fast enough to regulate it.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
Earlier this week, researcher Jacob Coxon quit Anthropic, saying the firm and its competitors are “gambling with our lives.” “We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans,” added current Anthropic researcher Evan Hubinger in a post on X.Earlier this week, researcher Jacob Coxon quit Anthropic, saying the firm and its competitors are “gambling with our lives.” “We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans,” added current Anthropic researcher Evan Hubinger in a post on X.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
Anthropic said Thursday it shut down multiple cases of state-sponsored surveillance operations that used its artificial intelligence (AI) models and warned that governments and state-aligned actors are increasingly using AI to spy on ethnic minorities and dissidents.Anthropic said Thursday it shut down multiple cases of state-sponsored surveillance operations that used its artificial intelligence (AI) models and warned that governments and state-aligned actors are increasingly using AI to spy on ethnic minorities and dissidents.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
Anthropic said Thursday it has blocked efforts by bad actors to use its artificial intelligence models for malicious activity such as cyberattacks, surveillance, and research that could have led to biological weapons.Anthropic said Thursday it has blocked efforts by bad actors to use its artificial intelligence models for malicious activity such as cyberattacks, surveillance, and research that could have led to biological weapons.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

Artificial intelligence (AI) combined with virtual reality (VR) could guide us through tomorrow’s cities before they are even built, according to research in the International Journal of Environment and Pollution. Such models could be useful for architects, planners and policymakers.Artificial intelligence (AI) combined with virtual reality (VR) could guide us through tomorrow’s cities before they are even built, according to research in the International Journal of Environment and Pollution.

There is a temptation to divide the future of AI into two possibilities: utopia or catastrophe. Neither extreme is particularly helpful.There is a temptation to divide the future of AI into two possibilities: utopia or catastrophe.

Researchers have developed a learning mechanism that uses the natural variability of neural activity—often dismissed as random “noise”—to understand how synapses buried deep inside brain networks—or brain-inspired devices—can adapt to improve the learning capabilities of the networks as a whole.Researchers have developed a learning mechanism that uses the natural variability of neural activity—often dismissed as random “noise”—to understand how synapses buried deep inside brain networks—or brain-inspired devices—can adapt to improve the learning capabilities of the networks as a whole.Hardware[#item_full_content]
Sandwiched between the electrolyte and electrodes in a lithium-ion battery is a remarkably thin layer of material that strongly dictates battery performance and durability: the interphase. Although typically only a few to tens of nanometers thick, interphases are among the least understood components of an operating battery cell. Their complex and constantly evolving structures make it challenging to determine how their atomic features and microscopic variations translate into macroscopic battery performance.Sandwiched between the electrolyte and electrodes in a lithium-ion battery is a remarkably thin layer of material that strongly dictates battery performance and durability: the interphase.
