An AI system capable of pinpointing a device’s location in dense urban areas without relying on GPS has been developed by researchers at the University of Surrey. Narrowing down localization errors from 734 meters to within 22 meters, the innovation could be a significant step forward for technologies such as self-driving cars and aid delivery vehicles.An AI system capable of pinpointing a device’s location in dense urban areas without relying on GPS has been developed by researchers at the University of Surrey.

In one of the first communications of its kind, the British Columbia Wildfire Service has issued a warning to residents about viral, AI-generated fake wildfire images circulating online. Judging by comments made by viewers on social media, some people did not realize the images were not authentic.In one of the first communications of its kind, the British Columbia Wildfire Service has issued a warning to residents about viral, AI-generated fake wildfire images circulating online.

News media shape public understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) and influence how society interacts with these technologies. For many people, especially those who have not sought more knowledge about AI elsewhere, media platforms are a primary source of information.News media shape public understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) and influence how society interacts with these technologies.

Researchers at UNIST have developed an innovative AI technology capable of reconstructing highly detailed three-dimensional (3D) models of companion animals from a single photograph, enabling realistic animations. This breakthrough allows users to experience lifelike digital avatars of their companion animals in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and metaverse environments.Researchers at UNIST have developed an innovative AI technology capable of reconstructing highly detailed three-dimensional (3D) models of companion animals from a single photograph, enabling realistic animations.

In July, the United States government made it clear that artificial intelligence (AI) companies wanting to do business with the White House will need to ensure their AI systems are “objective and free from top-down ideological bias.”In July, the United States government made it clear that artificial intelligence (AI) companies wanting to do business with the White House will need to ensure their AI systems are “objective and free from top-down ideological bias.”Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

In the rapidly advancing fields of drone swarms and cooperative robotics, AI agents embedded in individual drones and robots must collaborate seamlessly—such as drones flying in formation to encircle an enemy or multiple robots working together in smart factories. However, these multi-agent systems are vulnerable to disruptions caused by adverse conditions or malicious attacks, which can compromise their cooperation and operational integrity.In the rapidly advancing fields of drone swarms and cooperative robotics, AI agents embedded in individual drones and robots must collaborate seamlessly—such as drones flying in formation to encircle an enemy or multiple robots working together in smart factories.

Despite two centuries of evolution, the structure of a modern military staff would be recognizable to Napoleon. At the same time, military organizations have struggled to incorporate new technologies as they adapt to new domains—air, space and information—in modern war.Despite two centuries of evolution, the structure of a modern military staff would be recognizable to Napoleon.

Last year I attended a panel on generative AI in education. In a memorable moment, one presenter asked: “What’s the big deal? Generative AI is like a calculator. It’s just a tool.”Last year I attended a panel on generative AI in education. In a memorable moment, one presenter asked: “What’s the big deal? Generative AI is like a calculator.

In a world where automation is advancing by leaps and bounds, collaboration between robots is no longer science fiction. Imagine a warehouse where dozens of machines transport goods without colliding, a restaurant where robots serve dishes to the correct tables, or a factory where robot teams instantly adjust their tasks according to demand.In a world where automation is advancing by leaps and bounds, collaboration between robots is no longer science fiction.
