The ability to communicate effectively in spoken English is a key determinant of both academic and professional success. Traditionally, the degree of mastery over English grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and communication skills has been assessed through tedious and expensive human-administered tests.The ability to communicate effectively in spoken English is a key determinant of both academic and professional success.

The main problem with big tech’s experiment with artificial intelligence (AI) is not that it could take over humanity. It’s that large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini and Meta’s Llama continue to get things wrong, and the problem is intractable.The main problem with big tech’s experiment with artificial intelligence (AI) is not that it could take over humanity.

The Little Engine That Could wasn’t the most powerful train, but she believed in herself. The story goes that, as she set off to climb a steep mountain, she repeated: “I think I can, I think I can.”The Little Engine That Could wasn’t the most powerful train, but she believed in herself.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere—writing emails, recommending movies and even driving cars—but what about the AI you don’t see? Who (or what) is behind the scenes developing the algorithms that go unnoticed? And can it be trusted?Artificial intelligence is everywhere—writing emails, recommending movies and even driving cars—but what about the AI you don’t see?

As misinformation exploded during India’s four-day conflict with Pakistan, social media users turned to an AI chatbot for verification—only to encounter more falsehoods, underscoring its unreliability as a fact-checking tool.As misinformation exploded during India’s four-day conflict with Pakistan, social media users turned to an AI chatbot for verification—only to encounter more falsehoods, underscoring its unreliability as a fact-checking tool.Internet[#item_full_content]
For Silicon Valley venture capitalists, the world has split into two camps: those with deep enough pockets to invest in artificial intelligence behemoths, and everyone else waiting to see where the AI revolution leads.For Silicon Valley venture capitalists, the world has split into two camps: those with deep enough pockets to invest in artificial intelligence behemoths, and everyone else waiting to see where the AI revolution leads.Business[#item_full_content]

As artificial intelligence takes off, how do we efficiently integrate it into our lives and our work? Bridging the gap between promise and practice, Jann Spiess, an associate professor of operations, information, and technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business, is exploring how algorithms can be designed to most effectively support—rather than replace—human decision-makers.As artificial intelligence takes off, how do we efficiently integrate it into our lives and our work?

Teaching AI to explore its surroundings is a bit like teaching a robot to find treasure in a vast maze—it needs to try different paths, but some lead nowhere. In many real-world challenges, like training robots or playing complex games, rewards are few and far between, making it easy for AI to waste time on dead ends.Teaching AI to explore its surroundings is a bit like teaching a robot to find treasure in a vast maze—it needs to try different paths, but some lead nowhere.

A team of roboticists and AI specialists at the Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Lab in Korea has designed, built and successfully tested a four-legged robot that is capable of conducting high-speed parkour maneuvers. In their paper published in the journal Science Robotics, the group describes how they gave their robot a controller capable of both planning and tracking its own movements to allow it to freely traverse a range of environments.A team of roboticists and AI specialists at the Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Lab in Korea has designed, built and successfully tested a four-legged robot that is capable of conducting high-speed parkour maneuvers.
