In a survey study of U.S. teens, more than half (55.3%) reported that they had created at least one image using nudification tools, which use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to show what an individual may look like without clothing. Chad Steel of George Mason University, Virginia, U.S., presents these findings in the open-access journal PLOS One.In a survey study of U.S. teens, more than half (55.3%) reported that they had created at least one image using nudification tools, which use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to show what an individual may look like without clothing.

A deep learning model trained on more than 14,000 Pakistani news articles can spot misinformation with 96% accuracy, according to a new report in academic journal Scientific Reports. It’s the most comprehensive artificial intelligence system yet for detecting fake news in Urdu, the world’s 10th most spoken language with more than 170 million speakers worldwide.A deep learning model trained on more than 14,000 Pakistani news articles can spot misinformation with 96% accuracy, according to a new report in academic journal Scientific Reports.

While large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are adept at answering countless questions, they often remain unaware of a user’s minor habits or previous conversational contexts. This is why AI, despite being deeply integrated into our daily lives, can still feel like a “stranger.” Overcoming these limitations, researchers at KAIST, led by Professor Hoi-Jun Yoo from the Graduate School of AI Semiconductors, have developed the world’s first AI semiconductor, dubbed “SoulMate,” which learns and adapts to a user’s speech style, preferences, and emotions in real-time—becoming a true “digital soulmate.”While large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are adept at answering countless questions, they often remain unaware of a user’s minor habits or previous conversational contexts.

Urban congestion is a big problem in our cities. It leads to commuter delays and economic inefficiency. More tragically, though, it leads to a million deaths annually worldwide. Research appearing in the International Journal of Reasoning-based Intelligent Systems shows how artificial intelligence (AI) might be able to carry out real-time traffic forecasting and provide a way for the authorities to manage our road networks better.Urban congestion is a big problem in our cities.

It’s a familiar feeling: You start a text message, and your phone’s autocomplete function suggests several choices for the next word, ranging from banal to hilarious. “I love…” you, or coffee? Or you’re finishing an email, and merely typing the word “Let” prompts your app to suggest “Let me know if you have any questions” in light gray text.It’s a familiar feeling: You start a text message, and your phone’s autocomplete function suggests several choices for the next word, ranging from banal to hilarious. “I love…” you, or coffee?

New research from the University of Waterloo shows that artificial intelligence (AI) still struggles with some basic software development tasks, raising questions about how reliably AI systems can assist developers. As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly incorporated into software development, developers have struggled to ensure that AI-generated responses are accurate, consistent, and easy to integrate into larger development workflows.New research from the University of Waterloo shows that artificial intelligence (AI) still struggles with some basic software development tasks, raising questions about how reliably AI systems can assist developers.

The integration of large language model-based AI chatbots into multiple facets of our everyday lives has opened us up to advantages that would have been considered impossible even a decade ago. The same development has, however, opened us up to unforeseen risks, including the impact that engaging with AI chatbots can have on people dealing with mental illness.The integration of large language model-based AI chatbots into multiple facets of our everyday lives has opened us up to advantages that would have been considered impossible even a decade ago.

As self-driving cars begin operating in cities, a question remains about how to make them work in rural areas with limited telecommunications infrastructure. New research from Washington State University suggests a potential answer, demonstrating that a small, affordable computer running a compressed large-language model may be an effective decision-maker for autonomous vehicles.As self-driving cars begin operating in cities, a question remains about how to make them work in rural areas with limited telecommunications infrastructure.

Among the primary concerns surrounding artificial intelligence is its tendency to yield erroneous information when summarizing long documents. These “hallucinations” are problematic not only because they convey falsehoods, but also because they reduce efficiency—sorting through content to search for mistakes of AI outputs is time-consuming.Among the primary concerns surrounding artificial intelligence is its tendency to yield erroneous information when summarizing long documents.
