For the first time, new algorithms may be able to automatically explain why some self-driving cars crash—a question crucial to answer as more autonomous vehicles take to the roads. This new approach, developed by researchers at King’s College London, reviews past events to explain why specific instances of failure happened, in the hope that this can be used to make improvements in the future.For the first time, new algorithms may be able to automatically explain why some self-driving cars crash—a question crucial to answer as more autonomous vehicles take to the roads.

New York’s state legislature passed a bill Thursday night that would prevent permits from being issued for the construction of new data centers for a year, potentially the first law of its kind in the United States.New York’s state legislature passed a bill Thursday night that would prevent permits from being issued for the construction of new data centers for a year, potentially the first law of its kind in the United States.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

Artificial intelligence company Anthropic suggested Thursday a global pause on building the most powerful AI systems as the latest models are beginning to show signs they could escape human control.Artificial intelligence company Anthropic suggested Thursday a global pause on building the most powerful AI systems as the latest models are beginning to show signs they could escape human control.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

Research published in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology discusses the development of an artificial intelligence system that combines text, images and reviewer behavior to detect and trace fake e-commerce reviews. The system could address the growing challenge faced by online marketplaces as deceptive feedback becomes increasingly sophisticated.Research published in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology discusses the development of an artificial intelligence system that combines text, images and reviewer behavior to detect and trace fake e-commerce reviews.

Large language models (LLMs), which are the artificial intelligence (AI) systems behind modern chatbots, translation tools, and virtual assistants, have become revolutionary tools worldwide. Companies, governments, schools, and developers now rely on them to serve users across dozens of languages. Unfortunately, as these systems grow more capable and incorporate support for more and more languages, they also become more computationally demanding. Generating responses from large multilingual models not only costs more but also takes significantly more time.Large language models (LLMs), which are the artificial intelligence (AI) systems behind modern chatbots, translation tools, and virtual assistants, have become revolutionary tools worldwide.

A fire alarm jolts you from your office desk, and you head for the nearest exit. But what if the closest exit has already been blocked by the fire? Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and their colleagues have developed an AI model called Safe Step that can redirect occupants to the safest evacuation route in a fire. Described in the Journal of Building Engineering, the model can be used with electronic displays to show whether an exit is safe to use.A fire alarm jolts you from your office desk, and you head for the nearest exit.

A perspective in Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence titled “Evidence-based AI: from trailblazer to trustblazer?” introduces a formal discipline called Evidence-based AI that applies the rigorous standards of medicine and toxicology to agentic software systems. The paper was led by Insilica founder and CEO Dr. Thomas Luechtefeld in collaboration with Dr. Thomas Hartung of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.A perspective in Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence titled “Evidence-based AI: from trailblazer to trustblazer?” introduces a formal discipline called Evidence-based AI that applies the rigorous standards of medicine and toxicology to agentic software systems.

Researchers at Ames National Laboratory are advancing the discovery of materials for rare-earth-free permanent magnets by combining fundamental physics with artificial intelligence. The work contributes to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Genesis Mission, which unites DOE National Labs, industry, and academia to harness AI for breakthroughs in energy, discovery science, and national security, including a focus on securing America’s supply of rare earths and other critical minerals.Researchers at Ames National Laboratory are advancing the discovery of materials for rare-earth-free permanent magnets by combining fundamental physics with artificial intelligence.

A team of researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered a new class of cyberthreat that gives hackers more power and reach at far less cost. It can be built with free AI models. Every online device is a potential target. And current cyber defenses are not yet ready for it.A team of researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered a new class of cyberthreat that gives hackers more power and reach at far less cost.
