When a building inspector takes a photo of a cracked wall, a leaking pipe or a faulty ceiling panel, that image carries almost no information about where exactly it was taken. There’s no GPS signal indoors, and manually recording locations is slow, error-prone and easily forgotten. As a result, thousands of inspection photos sit in folders with no spatial context, making it hard to track problems over time or link them to the correct part of a building’s maintenance records.When a building inspector takes a photo of a cracked wall, a leaking pipe or a faulty ceiling panel, that image carries almost no information about where exactly it was taken.

Giving AI a human-like memory limitation may actually help it learn language better. In their new proof-of-principle study, Abishek Thamma (University of Amsterdam) and Micha Heilbron (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics) show that small language models equipped with a transient memory learn grammar more efficiently when trained on child-scale amounts of language input. The findings demonstrate how insights from psycholinguistics can inspire new approaches to AI learning. The findings are published in the journal Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics.Giving AI a human-like memory limitation may actually help it learn language better.

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are artificial intelligence (AI) models inspired by how biological neurons communicate with each other. While biological neurons exchange information in the form of electrical impulses, SNNs rely on brief signals known as spikes.Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are artificial intelligence (AI) models inspired by how biological neurons communicate with each other.

A technology developed at the Technion enables ordinary users to create realistic video clips intuitively, without the need for massive computing resources. Called Time-to-Move (TTM), it offers unprecedented control over the movement of objects and characters in AI-generated videos using nothing more than mouse movements, eliminating the need for complex and expensive infrastructure or training on millions of videos.A technology developed at the Technion enables ordinary users to create realistic video clips intuitively, without the need for massive computing resources.

It may look like a picture of a panda bear to you, but to your business’s AI agent, it can act like a skeleton key, bypassing safety safeguards and potentially causing the model to generate harmful, misleading or policy-violating outputs.It may look like a picture of a panda bear to you, but to your business’s AI agent, it can act like a skeleton key, bypassing safety safeguards and potentially causing the model to generate harmful, misleading or policy-violating outputs.Security[#item_full_content]

As governments, companies and public institutions move from experimenting with AI to deploying it in the real world, questions are becoming increasingly urgent: What does it mean to trust AI? And what does it take for that trust to be earned?As governments, companies and public institutions move from experimenting with AI to deploying it in the real world, questions are becoming increasingly urgent: What does it mean to trust AI?

A new study co-authored by USC Marshall’s Miao “Ben” Zhang is among the first to show that generative AI is delivering significant productivity gains outside the workplace—and that a growing digital divide threatens to leave older and lower-income Americans behind.A new study co-authored by USC Marshall’s Miao “Ben” Zhang is among the first to show that generative AI is delivering significant productivity gains outside the workplace—and that a growing digital divide threatens to leave older and lower-income Americans behind.Consumer & Gadgets[#item_full_content]
