Much like its creator, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok was preoccupied with South African racial politics on social media this week, posting unsolicited claims about the persecution and “genocide” of white people.Much like its creator, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok was preoccupied with South African racial politics on social media this week, posting unsolicited claims about the persecution and “genocide” of white people.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
A team of AI researchers at the Alibaba Group’s Tongyi Lab, has debuted a new approach to training LLMs; one that costs much less than those now currently in use. Their paper is posted on the arXiv preprint server.A team of AI researchers at the Alibaba Group’s Tongyi Lab, has debuted a new approach to training LLMs; one that costs much less than those now currently in use.

Autonomous mobility already exists, to some extent. Building an autonomous vehicle that can safely navigate an empty highway is one thing. The real challenge lies in adapting to the dynamic and messy reality of urban environments.Autonomous mobility already exists, to some extent.

Found in knee replacements and bone plates, aircraft components, and catalytic converters, the exceptionally strong metals known as multiple principal element alloys (MPEA) are about to get even stronger through artificial intelligence.Found in knee replacements and bone plates, aircraft components, and catalytic converters, the exceptionally strong metals known as multiple principal element alloys (MPEA) are about to get even stronger through artificial intelligence.Engineering[#item_full_content]
Over the last few years, virtual and augmented reality have become increasingly popular in education, but there is still a central, lingering question: How can students learn with this technology?Over the last few years, virtual and augmented reality have become increasingly popular in education, but there is still a central, lingering question: How can students learn with this technology?Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
Agents, chatbots and other tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly used in everyday life by many. So-called large language model (LLM)-based agents, such as ChatGPT and Llama, have become impressively fluent in the responses they form, but quite often provide convincing yet incorrect information.Agents, chatbots and other tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly used in everyday life by many.

Listen to the first notes of an old, beloved song. Can you name that tune? If you can, congratulations—it’s a triumph of your associative memory, in which one piece of information (the first few notes) triggers the memory of the entire pattern (the song), without you actually having to hear the rest of the song again. We use this handy neural mechanism to learn, remember, solve problems and generally navigate our reality.Listen to the first notes of an old, beloved song. Can you name that tune?
