In 2014, the British philosopher Nick Bostrom published a book about the future of artificial intelligence (AI) with the ominous title Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies. It proved highly influential in promoting the idea that advanced AI systems—”superintelligences” more capable than humans—might one day take over the world and destroy humanity.In 2014, the British philosopher Nick Bostrom published a book about the future of artificial intelligence (AI) with the ominous title Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies.

In recent years, advancements in artificial intelligence have enabled intelligent machines to generate visual art, compose music, and create videos. They converse with us, help with homework, and have even begun competing for our jobs.In recent years, advancements in artificial intelligence have enabled intelligent machines to generate visual art, compose music, and create videos.

A Polish radio station said Monday that it has ended an “experiment” that involved using AI-generated “presenters” instead of real journalists after the move sparked an outcry.A Polish radio station said Monday that it has ended an “experiment” that involved using AI-generated “presenters” instead of real journalists after the move sparked an outcry.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
Fake news is a perennial problem but really begins to ramp up in the election season as conspiracy theories and misinformation by bad actors aim to manipulate voters. As the US election comes down to the wire in one of the closest races yet, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev researchers have developed a method to help fact-checkers keep up with the increasing volumes of misinformation on social media.Fake news is a perennial problem but really begins to ramp up in the election season as conspiracy theories and misinformation by bad actors aim to manipulate voters.

As urban areas expand, the threat of natural disasters becomes a pressing concern for city planners and disaster management authorities. In earthquake-prone countries like Japan, one of the critical risks to infrastructure is liquefaction, a phenomenon where intense shaking causes loose, water-saturated soils to lose their strength and behave like a liquid. Liquefaction can cause buildings to sink into the soil, crack foundations, and collapse roads and utilities like water lines.As urban areas expand, the threat of natural disasters becomes a pressing concern for city planners and disaster management authorities.

Optical tactile sensors are gaining significant attention as next-generation biometric recognition technologies. Capable of analyzing dynamic forces from a single image, these sensors transcend the limitations of existing optical systems, creating potential applications in diverse fields, such as handwriting emotion analysis, surface characterization, and anti-counterfeiting measures.Optical tactile sensors are gaining significant attention as next-generation biometric recognition technologies.
