Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have found that while artificial intelligence can spin increasingly convincing stories, its characters may still lack one of the qualities that make human-written fiction memorable: mystery.Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have found that while artificial intelligence can spin increasingly convincing stories, its characters may still lack one of the qualities that make human-written fiction memorable: mystery.Consumer & Gadgets[#item_full_content]

Human-AI relationships are no longer confined to the domain of science fiction. As the technology has developed, AI chatbots have evolved from playing a role in search engines and image-generation tools into confidants, therapists and even romantic partners. It’s a radical evolution of human-AI interactions that brings with it new risks in how it is reshaping the way we think and talk about relationships, including with ourselves, finds new research published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence.Human-AI relationships are no longer confined to the domain of science fiction.

Shares of Meta Platforms jumped more than 6% on Wall Street on Wednesday after a report said the social media giant is preparing to launch a cloud computing business that would sell AI computing power to outside customers.Shares of Meta Platforms jumped more than 6% on Wall Street on Wednesday after a report said the social media giant is preparing to launch a cloud computing business that would sell AI computing power to outside customers.Business[#item_full_content]

Artificial intelligence doesn’t just learn how humans talk. It may also be learning who gets listened to. A new study from researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found that large language models, the technology behind popular AI chatbots, change the way they communicate depending on the social role they’re assigned in a conversation. When cast as a “boss,” they adopt different language patterns. When positioned as a subordinate, they become more accommodating, sometimes in ways that could undermine safety.Artificial intelligence doesn’t just learn how humans talk.

Data center projects continue to generate controversy around the country. In part, that’s because a variety of groups have competing interests—some in favor, some opposed and others with no direct view on data centers themselves but with concerns related to aspects of data center operations and effects.Data center projects continue to generate controversy around the country.

Music from Kylie Minogue, John Farnham, INXS, Midnight Oil, AC/DC, Tones and I, Gotye, Ben Frost, Nick Cave, Tame Impala, Parkway Drive, The Living End and Vance Joy has been found in a database of 12 million songs used to teach artificial intelligence.Music from Kylie Minogue, John Farnham, INXS, Midnight Oil, AC/DC, Tones and I, Gotye, Ben Frost, Nick Cave, Tame Impala, Parkway Drive, The Living End and Vance Joy has been found in a database of 12 million songs used to teach artificial intelligence.Internet[#item_full_content]

Artificial intelligence can now generate images that are virtually indistinguishable from real ones. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation IOSB have developed RealOrRender, a tool that not only specifically detects such deepfakes but also explains why an image is classified as real or AI-generated. The new hybrid approach significantly improves detection accuracy, while explainable AI processes ensure transparent results.Artificial intelligence can now generate images that are virtually indistinguishable from real ones.

Inside a second-floor lab at CU Boulder, Jack Manning and Jed Brubaker are resurrecting the dead. As the researchers look on, study volunteers log in to Zoom and chat with AI-generated representations of lost grandparents, siblings, parents and family friends.Inside a second-floor lab at CU Boulder, Jack Manning and Jed Brubaker are resurrecting the dead.
