Scientists in China have unveiled a new AI chip called LightGen that is 100 times faster and 100 times more energy efficient than NVIDIA chips, the leading supplier of AI chips worldwide. Instead of using electricity to move information, this new optical chip relies on light to perform complex generative tasks.Scientists in China have unveiled a new AI chip called LightGen that is 100 times faster and 100 times more energy efficient than NVIDIA chips, the leading supplier of AI chips worldwide.

Meta’s decision to end its professional fact-checking program sparked a wave of criticism in the tech and media world. Critics warned that dropping expert oversight could erode trust and reliability in the digital information landscape, especially when profit-driven platforms are mostly left to police themselves.Meta’s decision to end its professional fact-checking program sparked a wave of criticism in the tech and media world.

A new approach is making it easier to visualize lifelike 3D environments from everyday photos already shared online, opening new possibilities in industries such as gaming, virtual tourism and cultural preservation.A new approach is making it easier to visualize lifelike 3D environments from everyday photos already shared online, opening new possibilities in industries such as gaming, virtual tourism and cultural preservation.Computer Sciences[#item_full_content]
Generative AIs may not be as creative as we assume. Publishing in the journal Patterns, researchers show that when image-generating and image-describing AIs pass the same descriptive scene back and forth, they quickly veer off topic.Generative AIs may not be as creative as we assume.

Queen Mary University of London and the Qatar Computing Research Institute at Hamad Bin Khalifa University have published the report “Building Bridges in the Age of AI,” which outlines a framework through which the U.K. and Qatar can collaborate to develop and expand their artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystems.Queen Mary University of London and the Qatar Computing Research Institute at Hamad Bin Khalifa University have published the report “Building Bridges in the Age of AI,” which outlines a framework through which the U.K. and Qatar can collaborate to develop and expand their artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystems.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
Over the past three years, generative artificial intelligence (AI) has had a profound impact on society. AI’s impact on human writing, in particular, has been enormous.Over the past three years, generative artificial intelligence (AI) has had a profound impact on society.

A world’s first study shows that AI-generated writing continues to display distinct stylistic patterns that set it apart from human prose. Led by researchers at University College Cork (UCC), the research explores whether systems such as ChatGPT can genuinely write in a way that is indistinguishable from people.A world’s first study shows that AI-generated writing continues to display distinct stylistic patterns that set it apart from human prose.

Ph.D. candidate Yuchen Lian (LIACS) wants to understand why human languages look the way they do—and find inspiration to improve AI along the way. She defended her thesis on 12 December.Ph.D. candidate Yuchen Lian (LIACS) wants to understand why human languages look the way they do—and find inspiration to improve AI along the way.
