Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has said that AI could surpass “almost all humans at almost everything” shortly after 2027. While AI’s capabilities are certainly improving, such rapid progress might seem at odds with findings that show AI is still failing at 95%+ of remote freelance projects, and continues to struggle with hallucination, long term planning, and forms of abstract reasoning that humans find easy. But recent work from METR has found evidence that LLMs can gain capabilities in rapid surges—jumping from succeeding almost never to almost always in just a few years. If this is true across the economy, it could mean that workers could be blindsided by AI advances.Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has said that AI could surpass “almost all humans at almost everything” shortly after 2027.

A team from the Universitat Politècnica de València, part of the Valencian University Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence (VRAIN) and ValgrAI, has participated in the development of ADeLe, a new methodology that offers precise explanations and predictions regarding whether large language models (LLMs) will succeed or fail at specific new tasks they have not yet performed. Furthermore, this methodology identifies exactly the limits of any given model’s reasoning capacity.A team from the Universitat Politècnica de València, part of the Valencian University Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence (VRAIN) and ValgrAI, has participated in the development of ADeLe, a new methodology that offers precise explanations and predictions regarding whether large language models (LLMs) will succeed or fail at specific new tasks they have not yet performed.

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to help optimize decision-making in high-stakes settings. For instance, an autonomous system can identify a power distribution strategy that minimizes costs while keeping voltages stable.Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to help optimize decision-making in high-stakes settings.

From smartphone facial recognition to autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence (AI) has long been protected as a black box. However, a joint research team from KAIST and international institutions has uncovered a new security threat capable of peeking at AI blueprints from behind walls. The team also presented corresponding defense technologies. This discovery is expected to be utilized in strengthening AI security across various sectors, including autonomous driving, health care, and finance.From smartphone facial recognition to autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence (AI) has long been protected as a black box.

The number of scientific papers is growing so rapidly that scientists are no longer able to keep track of all of them, even in their own research area. Researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), in collaboration with scientific partners, have shown how new research ideas can still be obtained from this wealth of information. Using artificial intelligence (AI), they systematically analyzed materials science publications to identify potential new avenues of research. Their results have been published in Nature Machine Intelligence.The number of scientific papers is growing so rapidly that scientists are no longer able to keep track of all of them, even in their own research area.

Designers, makers, and others often use 3D printing to rapidly prototype a range of functional objects, from movie props to medical devices. Accurate print previews are essential so users know a fabricated object will perform as expected. But previews generated by most 3D-printing software focus on function rather than aesthetics. A printed object may end up with a different color, texture, or shading than the user expected, resulting in multiple reprints that waste time, effort, and material.Designers, makers, and others often use 3D printing to rapidly prototype a range of functional objects, from movie props to medical devices.
