The announcement of the artificial intelligence researchers John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton as this year’s Nobel laureates in physics spurred celebration and consternation over the status of AI in science and society. In Japan, however, another feeling dominates: frustration.The announcement of the artificial intelligence researchers John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton as this year’s Nobel laureates in physics spurred celebration and consternation over the status of AI in science and society.

Anthropomorphism occurs when we attribute human characteristics to non-human entities like animals or machines. Chatbots, such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot, encourage this by imitating human language to communicate with us, going beyond using mere familiar words and phrases to adopt human patterns of communication. By doing this, they are able to hold contextualized, coherent conversations, and can even show emotions like humor and empathy.Anthropomorphism occurs when we attribute human characteristics to non-human entities like animals or machines.

A small team of computer scientists and sociologists, working with Google DeepMind, has developed an AI application that can generate a simulation of a person’s personality after interviewing them for just two hours. The group has written a paper describing their work and where they believe such efforts are heading; it is available on the arXiv preprint server.A small team of computer scientists and sociologists, working with Google DeepMind, has developed an AI application that can generate a simulation of a person’s personality after interviewing them for just two hours.

Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to redefine the boundaries of legal technology, offering to automate advanced tasks such as legal question answering and consultation. In the domain of statute law, a particular challenge is the task of retrieving the concise set of entailing legal articles to a query. In this context, we refer to this task as entailing legal article set retrieval or, more briefly, legal article set retrieval.Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to redefine the boundaries of legal technology, offering to automate advanced tasks such as legal question answering and consultation.

Using generative artificial intelligence, a team of researchers at The University of Texas at Austin has converted sounds from audio recordings into street-view images. The visual accuracy of these generated images demonstrates that machines can replicate human connection between audio and visual perception of environments.Using generative artificial intelligence, a team of researchers at The University of Texas at Austin has converted sounds from audio recordings into street-view images.

Imagine having a live art class taught by Leonardo da Vinci, or having a fully interactive discussion about the meaning of life with Socrates. You can now do this in your living room with a laptop and headset through startups like Ireland’s Engage XR and Sweden’s Hello History, combining the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) and the metaverse.Imagine having a live art class taught by Leonardo da Vinci, or having a fully interactive discussion about the meaning of life with Socrates.
